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....:-\
