Wrestlemania 25

[xtremesteven33]

I dont watch wrestling anymore but I got a chance to watch Wrestlemania last night on a Live Free Stream on the internet. So i thought What the Hell ill catch it.....

The whole card was pretty wack but the Undertaker vs HBK match was one of the greatest single matches ive ever seen from a Wrestlemania event. I "marked" out so many times during the match it was funny....haha....

If you were a former or currently are a wrestling fan you would be able to appreciate the epic fight Undertaker and Shawn Michaels put on last night.....Incredible.:hat

[Many PackYao]

I was there last night and I think that's one of the best matches I've ever seen. The crowd was into that match the most and in my opinion stole the show.

[Chief]

the whole event sucked except for a few matches.
Undertaker vs HBK
and HHH vs Orton.

last wrestlemania event i went to was in houston as well, 67,000 people.

[BruceBowenFan]

Undertaker vs the show stopper was the best match of the night, and one of the greatest of all time. Overall i was kinda dissapointed with wrestlemania, main event was ok. Then i saw kid rock play i was like wtf i paid to see wrestling not someone singing.

[SpursStalker]

There were actually 24 before this?

:sleep

HHH vs Orton wasn't that great if anything it was kinda boring.

[CavsSuperFan]

The Undertaker just isn’t scary anymore…He is 20 years past his prime & his face looks like it is melting…

[SA210]

There were actually 24 before this?

:sleep

:lol

[Dr. Gonzo]

Undertaker was better as Mean Mark Callous.

[xtremesteven33]

Undertaker vs HBK stole the show and no way could have been followed up.....the main events were wack.

I stopped watching wrestling about 3 years ago due to its horrible direction. It just became really disinteresting. Wrestling was secondary to the entertainment and when you do that you lose your core fan base and thats what they did.

But last nights Taker/HBK match was one of the greatest ive ever seen. The drama and the stroytelling was spectacular. The kind of match that Austin/Rock used to put on. :tu :tu

[IronMexican]

That one Wrestlemania with the Fatal 4 way between The Rock, Big Show, HHH, and Mick Foley can never be touched.

[Bukefal]

Today I saw some wrestling, don't know who and what kind of match, but anyway, my question about wrestling, I don't get it. Wrestling seems pretty popular in the states but it's fake right? So how can you like and love wrestling when you know it's all fake? Can you even see it as a sport then? How can you even call that a match, when its all staged? With what do the players get any points to win?

I know ordinary wrestling and olive oil wrestling here in europe ;) but that's real, not staged.

You like Movies? You know movies are fake right? So is wrestling. But you watch movies because its entertaining. Thats what wrestling is. Its about putting on a show for the people. Its a mix of entertainment and athletecism.

WWE/WWF used to be the best thing on Cable television 10 years ago but it just sucks so bad now its sad.

Well put. And unlike movies they don't have stunt doubles to protect the main stars. Undertaker damn near knocked himself out when dove over top rope and landed on his head. There's no faking that.

[DarkReign]

Wrestling got lame for me in the late 80s, but there is no denying the wrestlers' athleticism and ability.

[bostonguy]

Wrestlemania 17 The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin was the best match I have ever watched. It went back and forth and how it ended with Austin and Vince Mcmahon shaking hands was fucking awesome. After that night...wrestling hit a decline with The WCW/ECW Invasion followed by the brand extension then The Rock and Stone Cold leaving the wwe for good. I was tempted to watch that Micheals/Taker match but I knew Taker wouldnt lose. I miss the good ole days with the corporation vs austin etc etc.

[bostonguy]

That one Wrestlemania with the Fatal 4 way between The Rock, Big Show, HHH, and Mick Foley can never be touched.

That match was badass but Austin/Rock the following year was something else. Him joining forces with Vince was unexpected.

[Trainwreck2100]

That match was badass but Austin/Rock the following year was something else. Him joining forces with Vince was unexpected.

The only thing i remember about that was when he gave Vince a cowboy hat and Angle a little kids cowboy hat that shit was funny yo

[Creepn]

I havent watched wrestling in years but I remember that epic match when they burned the Undertaker's ass in that coffin. How did they explain his comeback?

[sribb43]

One of the weakest WM ive ever seen....the card was so weak and there was little build up to some of the matches. WM24 was 10x better than 25. You'd think being the 25th anniversary that they'd go all out...not so much

I stopped watching it when McMahon started giving Triple H special treatment all the time. He sucks as a wrestler and is horrible behind the mic. Yet he consistently had the title. Well I'm not sure about now because I don't watch anymore. Stone Cold might not had been the greatest wrestler, but you give that S.O.B a mic and he could sure as hell could entertain you.

Man some of the stuff Jeff Hardy can do on a ladder is amazing. He doesn't give a damn. He really puts his body out there.

I'll never forget the night my husband came running into the living room to tell me that McMahon had been blown up in a limo......only to find him on TV a few days later. :lmao That shit is so fake. :rolleyes :lol

I know, I'm sorry. :lol You guys deserve your wrestling soap operas. :toast

I tried watching a few times, the chicks......:sleep

Vince had it all going for him. But he got greedy imo when he tried to get greedy once WCW folded. Hey why am I'm talking to you about this PS. You don;t appreciate the realness of it like me and your husband. I need to talk to him. :lol

[Mixability]

Nothing will ever beat The Hulkster vs. The Ultimate Warrior.

[Spursfan092120]

WM was great...I absolutely loved it.

[BonnerDynasty]

I went completely cold turkey from wrestling once I found out it was fake as a kid.

I did however watch some of the Stone Cold HOF thing on Sat. because it brought back memories of the Wrestling Golden Age for me (Rick Flair, Sting, Lex, etc)


I thought The Condemned was a good movie too.

[Ditty]

this was my 2nd wrestlemania in a row

flew to orlando last year

and drove to houston this year and snuck down to 6th row ringside and got a free chair ha

besides starings from nicole bella and randy orton

besides undertaker and hbk which stole the show

everything else was kinda garbage

mickey rourke vs chris jericho was a gay ending

matt hardy vs jeff hardy was good but i though jeff should of got all the revenge from his brother

money in the bank ladder match..cm puck beat christian,kane,mark henry,finlay,mvp,shelton benjamin,kofi kingston was okay but i thought WM 24 MITB was better

john cena vs edge vs big show was gay to me because i was going for edge

randy orton vs triple h was maybe the worst match of the night...boring

[Udokafan05]

Was impressive when Cena had Big Show and Edge on his shoulders at same time.

[ss1986v2]

no love for steamboat? man hasnt been in the ring in nearly 15 year, and goes out there and puts on an impressive showing all things considered. huge props to the dragon.

taker vs hbk stole the show (as was too be expected). i marked out pretty hard when taker made his trademark dive over the ropes (and nearly crushed his skull on the landing). good pacing, solid spots, and false finishes. match of the year candidate for sure.

the rest of the show was pretty "blah". diva rumble was even more useless than usual (no entrances along with spotty play-by-play defeats the purpose of having the former divas there). MitB was fun, with some nice spots (kofi through the ladder and up it with henry, sheltons senton) but wasnt really anything special. the rourke bit was pointless. same with the jbl story. the hardys put on a good showing, although i dont know where you go from there. the two title matches were ok, but nothing memorable. the pacing of the triple theat match seemed a bit off (finish kind of snuck up on me). and orton/hhh was fine, but again, not special. im glad i didnt plop down the cash to see it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I heard about the card a few days before....couldn't help but wish I could've seen the HBK/Undertaker match. I knew it would be an instant classic, and more than likely, the swan song match for both wrestlers....how much longer can they possibly go, and how many more epic matches could they have? Against each other, no less?

well next years wrestlemania shawn michaels said he might retire because his contract might be up so i see him going against triple h for the last time

and undertaker might have his last match at next years wrestlemania too alot of people have been talking about the million doller man son ted dibase son, ted dibase jr. beating the undertaker and ending his streak to build up ted becaues he is one the guys who are the future of the wwe

No way, undertaker losing losing to a new guy i dont see this happening.

[florige]

Ted Dibiase Jr? :lmao GTFO

[ATRAIN]

I was at wm this year and that HBK taker match was fucking amazing. The crowd was really into it with it being split on HBK and taker.

[xtremesteven33]

Ted Dibiase Jr? :lmao GTFO



If that happens i swear to God thatll be the last time i watch wrestling....

I think he should remain undefeated but if i had to chose a wrestler to beat him it would probably be Randy Orton...it makes the most sense.

[Ditty]

well ted dibase jr is pretty much the next randy orton that's why dibase is working with him and cody rhodes in legacy and a couple of years ago the undertaker offered randy orton to end the streak at WM but randy orton didnt want to do it how perfect would it be for the million dollar man ted dibase bringing up the undertaker in the first place and his son ending the streak. I don't see it happening but if they want to make him into the next austin, rock, or cena then they'll probably do it.

next randy orton?
His look is more Mr Kennedy than Orton. I would also stop watchin' if this guy ends UT's streak. My biggest complaint with WWE is there is not enough women's matches. I miss the bra and panty matches between the divas.:p:

[Mugshot]

I'll never forget the night my husband came running into the living room to tell me that McMahon had been blown up in a limo......only to find him on TV a few days later. :lmao That shit is so fake. :rolleyes :lol

What's the big deal??? I've been blown in a limo before.....oh wait.

Nevermind.

[ss1986v2]

its still early to be talking about dibiase as a future major player. management does have high hopes for both him and rhodes, which is why they are working with orton in legacy (the same way trips worked with dave and orton in evolution). guy has the look, the talent, and the pedigree, but its still early yet.

as for the streak, my guess is that they have taker continue the steak into semi-retirement, with them bringing it out as an angle as needed (and potentially dropping it down the line). and even if they dont, im not sure they have him drop it to someone as well established as orton or as green as dibiase. gotta have a wrestler somewhere between those two points who needs that last big push.

[ManuTP9]

i stopped watching 2 years ago when they kept making john cena win the World championship it was terrible he was a Face superstar aka good and the fans were booing him at shows lmao, because they were sick of him having the title. idk where cena is now because i havent been watching wrestling. i might start watching it again if it got better.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

man, i remember Mr T fighting in the first one.

[xtremesteven33]

1998-2003

Was the Golden Age of Wrestling

The Rock
Steve Austin
Kurt Angle
HHH
Undetaker
Chris Benoit
Eddie Guerrero
Chris Jericho


and so much more talent all on one card at every PPV....that is when Wrestling was at its best

yah i agree about the divas part but they changed the ratings to tv pg so it sucks now

well dibase has been already been talked about they have so much highs on this kid now, and his brother is also going to join the wwe too and i heard his brother is as good, so there wil be the dibase brothers, the british bulldog's son DH Smith might join the legacy and he's a good wrestler, cody rhodes i see him as a good guy down the line but he is improving week by week... then you still have joe henning,reid flair..wwe is really hiring sons of former wrestlers

Where do you leave Triple H always holding the title? At least Cena could partially wrestle, AND was good behind the mic. The only time imo that HHH was bearable was his intense fued with Austin. And Austin made that.

I agree 100% Even the storylines back then kept you wondering. I just wish that Vince had done more to keep Angle. He was a hell of a wrestler, and was awesome with the mic. Also I wish he had played a little more on the Goldberg character. After he beat Lesnar that was pretty much it for him.

HHH is good behind the mic. Not as good as Austin,Rock or Foley but he is still better than Cena,Orton and sometimes even Jericho. Jerichos character has gotten very boring and bland lately. Even as a heel back in the day the crowd loved to hear Jericho talk cause he was such a funny guy people loved him.

Lesnar > Goldberg

And yea Angle was a BIG loss for the WWE. But im pretty confident Angle will be coming back before he retires.
