WrestleMania 21 was amazing.
April 3, 2005 is a night that will live in
wrestling history forever. For those of you who don't know, Wrestlemania is the
superbowl/stanley cup/world series of wrestling. Storylines form all year and
they are built upon until they come to a head at Wrestlemania. It's the damn
showcase of the immortals. Well, the only immortal around obviously is Hulk
Hogan. He was inducted into the WWE hall of fame last night, and I don't think
I've ever seen anyone get a bigger ovation than he was given. It was at least 5
minutes before he had a chance to tell the crowd to be quiet so he could give
his speech. Anyway back to WM. The night started out with a moderate match.
Rey Mysterio v. Eddie
Guerrero: Pretty decent match other than a
few botched spots, and Mysterio's stupid ass mask that kept coming loose.
Overall grade:
B
The next match on the card was one of
the greatest things I have ever
witnessed.
Money in the Bank Ladder
Match: First of all, let me say that Benoit
and Shelton Benjamin are fucking kings. Benoit left the match with a separated
shoulder, busted eye, broken nose, and possibly more. He did a falling headbutt
off of a ladder....who does that? Kane, did nothing....Benjamin, won harder
than anyone in the match with all his crazy antics.....Christian, took a
beating.....Jericho, .................and of course Edge, who did absolutely
nothing and won the match....tool.
Overall
grade: A
The next thing was incredible.
Muhammad Hassan came out and started shit with Eugene and was beatin his ass
when all of the sudden.....here comes "The Immortal" HULK HOGAN!! John, Sean
and I just about lost it. We were screaming and goin nuts, I felt like I was 10
or something, but I loved it. Anyway, he came out, ruled ass all over Hassan
and his cheap manager, and could have possibly made his last appearance in the
WWE.
Legend v. Legend
Killer: 12-0 was The Undertaker's
Wrestlemania record going into this match. Not even the legend killer, Randy
Orton, could end Taker's undefeated streak. The match ended with the usual
tombstone from The Undertaker, but not before "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. came down
to help out his son. Taker also kicked out of an RKO, which is mighty
impressive.
Overall grade:
B+
Women's
Title:
.........................
Grade:
C-
Kurt Angle v. Shawn
Michaels: I have waited oh so long for this
match, and I loved every second of it. I hate Michaels with all my heart, and
anyone who knows me, knows this. Angle of course is our hometown hero and all,
so naturally I'm behind him 100%. He's also probly the best wrestler there ever
was. The match started out all technical and stuff, which is Angle's style so I
was enjoying it. The match quickened up a bit and things were going in full
swing. This was easily the best match of the night, and it only got better as
time went on. Just when you thought it was over, Michaels kicked out, or Angle
kicked out of a pin. just when I thought it was over and Michaels had refused
to do the job to someone....AGAIN....he pulled an unexpected move, and actually
TAPPED OUT....YES, THAT FUCKER TAPPED OUT! WOOOO!! Angle is forever a champion
in my mind, and he has gotten revenge for vince and michaels screwing over Bret
Hart, since it's well known that Angle is a HUGE Bret Hart
fan.
Overall grade: A+(match of the
night)
Piper's
Pit: This was awesome to see the Rowdy one
and The Rattlesnake back in the ring, and oddly enough, together. They
exchanged words back and forth before Carlito Caribbean Cool came down to the
ring and got his ass beat by both of them.
Winners.
It all went downhill from here,
so I'll just give the match name, and the grade I gave it...maybe a reason or
two.
Sumo
Match: Dumbest thing ever, Akebono beat Big
Show...yay..
Overall grade:
C
JBL v, John
Cena: BORING....I'm just glad JBL is out of
the title picture, at least I hope he
is....
Overall grade:
B-
HHH v.
Batista: Meh...everyone knew who was going
to win...and it's not like HHH won't win the belt again at Backlash, so
whatever....
Overall grade:
B
As a whole, this WM kicked more ass
than any has in the past 10 years I'd say. One can only wonder what's in store
for next year....
Oh yeah, NHL meeting
tomorrow.....wOOt!......Even tho nothing will come from
it....:-\
