WrestlemaniaXX Worst PPV ever
March 15, 2004 - 9:05 AM

The WWE, one of my favorite things to be into, last night was the big extravaganza Wrestlemania 20 and I am not one to complain about the quality of a wrestling event cause it does happen every once in a while, but this was the biggest disappointment for large scale pay per view I have ever seen!! Wrestlemania, the Grand Daddy of all Wrestling events, I have always found to be top notch and interesting and always a crowd pleaser, this year there seemed to be more interest watching my friend Shirley Anns Gecko in his cage while the event was going on in the background.


Firstly I think that there were way too many wrestlers involved with the card. A Normal PPV has approximatley 30-35 wrestlers while last night they tried to cram in a whopping 50 wrestlers in 12 events.


Secondly, the matches that were suppose to be huge and great and were utter disappointments i.e. Brock Lesnar vs Bill Goldberg, this match was a literal waste of time. The only thing this match was set up to do was to allow Stone Cold Steve Austin give a couple of Stunners. (Although it was quite comical to see stome cold get hit in the head with a beer)
TWO FATAL FOUR WAY MATCHES FOR TWO TAG TITLES. How disturbing is this? Tag fatal four ways are usually boring enough, let alone having to sit through 2 of them. This doesnt allow any of the wrestlers to build up to anything exciting in the matches cause there are once again TOO MANY people involved.
Chavo Guerrero defending the Cruiserweight championship in the 10 man Cruiserweight open? 8 more people then what was needed in this match up, Cruiserweight matches have always seemed to be overly fast paced and exciting, 10 people, not enough room to make this happen, a very useless match indeed.

Matches that were decent. GET THIS EVERYONE!!! The opening match, Big Show vs John Cena was a great match compared to the rest of the Card. There was actually some excitement and I thought for an opening match the rest of the Pay Per View would be spectacular...WRONG!!!
Christian Beating Jericho was also fairly interesting as well as the Eddie Guerrero Kurt Angle Match, and the final championship triple threat, although started off slow, turned out to be a great match.
However, In my mind, the BIGGEST disappointment all night was The Return of the Dead Man. What joke this was. OK Paul Bearer nice touch, Druids coming down, again nice effect. But come on now, the big hype was the dead man to be reborn, and be vintage Undertaker, and here comes what my friend Chris calls "The UnderBiker" Wearing a vintage undertaker cloak, but not the proper attire for the rest of the way. That hat was soooo not classic undertaker hat, Yee Haww Cowboy-Taker, and he was still wearing his biker gloves. All the hype about Taker coming back, was worthless.


So this is what I think of Wrestlemania XX, I will be lookward to watching RAW tonight cause I am expecting it to be damn good tomake up for last night

I watched it with a couple of friends of mine from the comic store last night. It was definately better just to have people there to look back on the old days and heckle a lot of what was going on.

Goldberg/Lesner was pretty much the only way they go, considering both men are gone now. They both said they were leaving after WM20.

Best match of the card was the triple threat. Seeing Benoit with the title was worth the 4 1/2 hours of nauseating boredom.

It was funny when Undertaker came out. The way he stood there, I couldn't help but suddenly shout out in my best "Smith" voice: "MIS-TER ANDERSON!" Wonder if Coach is still looking for 'Taker, because they suddenly just dropped that storyline.

Dave called him a "Bounty Hunter" and Clow called him the "new, updated" Undertaker.

I personally thought "Indiana Jones" at first or a "Strider" from some movie. I think he was out of practice. Either way, I've always liked the true "Undertaker" compared to the "Undertaker aka Bad Ass"


Overall, Wrestlemania was not that flashy and was really just an extended RAW or Smackdown. For the big 20th anniversary, there was nothing I'll remember tomorrow. Even the ring and entrance was very generic.

gotta remember that Taker was burried in those clothes and so that could explain that. Otherwise he wrestled like old taker with a bit more aggression. he did walk the top rope further then he has in 10 years.

And Beniot winning the belt made the night better, otherwise it wasn't very good at all
