It Was 20 Years Ago Today Brehs/Brehettes

You forgot the gimmick battle royal that Iron Sheik won because he was to broken down to get thrown over the top rope.

Gave it a pass since there was no preshows back then.

 

[DANJ!]

All of those matches except APA vs RTC and to a lesser extent Eddie vs Test delivered. I don't know why you put Shane vs Vince on the list since it was a highly anticipated match.

You know how it goes... the contrarian shyt, breh...

Only thing I really would change, if there was any, I'da swapped the Jericho/Regal and Test/Eddie for Jericho/Eddie and Test/Regal, with Jericho retaining and Regal going over to become Euro champion.

Great show tho', top to bottom. It was everything we liked about the Attitude Era, and even had a lil' nostalgia tossed in, something they mostly had avoided during that Era... and even tho that big heel turn at the end of the night didn't pan out like expected, it was a climactic and surprising ending.

By far THE greatest Wrestlemania.

It was unofficially the season finale of the Attitude era. Damn near everything about this event from top to bottom was perfection.

Even though i still hate the ending with Austin going heel. It was symbolic. When Austin shook McMahon’s hand that was the end of the Attitude era. And from “Backlash” to “Vengence” to close out the year. That was the epilogue and the genesis of “Ruthless Aggression.”

The build up to Rock vs. Austin was built to perfection

Literally a once in a lifetime WM.

 

[Chris Cool]

Shane vs Vince was a dope match, that was when Shane jacked the van terminator and renamed it the coast to coast

Yeah I take that back about that match.

X factor vs grandmaster sexay and Steve blackman

Jericho vs William regal

Tazz and apa vs rtc

Kane vs raven vs big show

Eddie guerro vs test

Shane vs vince




Idk about that.

Every single one of those matches listed were entertaining and I think all but 1 had actual builds. I remember both those six man tags being short but 100% action all the way through with no let-up.

I recall Kurt Angle putting on a clinic against somebody that night

Kurt Angle is so damn talented that he put on 3 1/2-4 star match with an Invisible Man.

Bobby Heenan: "By the time The Iron Sheik gets to the ring, it will be Wrestlemania 38!"

By god, Sheiky baby better make it to Wrestlemania 38 so that we can get the Easter egg of him walking out without context

Linda McMahon had the biggest pop of the night
