Wrestlemania x8 thread - Predictions for spit

[Faceman]

So what did everyone think??? I think it was a lot better than most people expected. The biggest problem in my eyes was they FUCKED themselves on the main event. For the sake of drama and "the story" they turned HHH into a gimp, for lack of a better term. Doing this curtailed half of what he could do and turned what could have been a 5 star match, into a 3 star match. If you had your 2 lions(HHH and Y2J) going at each other at "full strength" you could have easily had a match that went 30-40 minutes of non-stop action that would have thrilled the crowd. What you had was what appeared to be a half-blown ending that didn't look good at all. Kind of anti-climatic in my eyes.

Say what you want about the workrate and wrestling ability of Hogan and Rock, their match worked because of one thing, the crowd POPPED during the match, with big capital letters. They were on every single move, whether good or bad. It was all the wwf and the competitors could have imagined. They put on an entertaining match, maybe the most twisting, turning match of the night. The one thing that would have totally made the angle and drive it on in a new direction...after Hogan and Rock drive off Nash and Hall, The Rock rock-bottoms Hogan and the 3 of them pummle Hogan. The Rock is born "heel", nop question about it. I haven't seen him get into a match as much as he was into that one last night with the crowd booing his every move. He was egging him on and playing the "heel" and the crowd was into booing him and it was electric. No matter how much you may hate Rock, and I do, you have to admit that at least.

The rest of the card was a decent ppv. I must admit I fell asleep during the Hall/Austin match. I woke up with the stunner and the pin. Angle/Kane wasn't bad, but Angle blew the ending and he was pissed about it, I read on wwf.com. Edge was destined to win being home. RVD/Regal had more blown spots than I cared to count...how about we send Benoit after RVD now and let them battle for the Intercontinental Belt. Those matches would be good, very good in fact. Tag-match...bleh. Taker/Flair was disappointing because of the ending not the match itself. It was fun watching UT just kick the shit out of Flair. Although I was hoping that Benoit would come out at the end and cause UT to lose, setting up his return and a possible Four-Horseman Group. All in all though, it was one of the better PPVs in a while and I gotta say I enjoyed it. Some other commentary now.

-Have you seen a Superplex that looked like it hurt more than Jazz's superplex on Lita. Maybe its because they are smaller, but that impact looked painful
-Is the chucky/Billy thing over? The rest of the teams carried that match, with them sneaking in at the end for the win, or is that going to be their "deal"?
-Did you want to drop a batch as much as I did watching Stacy dancing on that stage with Saliva????? Godamn!!!
-Could you call Steph FINALLY getting the pedigree, after a month of teasing it????
-Wasn't Christian cooler when he was being funny???
-MAVEN????????? Enough
-and finally, with Hogan and Rock going after Hall and Nash, whats next for Austin??? HHH??
