Even with the legit WM classics that are Bret/Owen and Razor/HBK, WM 10 is FOR SURE in the bottom 5 WMs of all time. Everything outside of those two things is so absolute dogshyt. Legit EVERYTHING outside of those two matches are so fukking bad. The promos, the Clinton impersonator shyt, the matches. Just fukking AWFUL. It's kind of weird that WM 9 has such a terrible reputation when it's actually better than 10 even if nothing on it comes close to Bret/Owen and Razor/HBK.

WM 10, 11, 12 are overall completely awful.

At least there, one was explicitly a cruiserweight, and the other was a dude named after the Incredible Hulk. With Bryan and Bret, it just really crystallized how much the industry had changed if Bret as a smaller guy in his era was SO MUCH bigger than Bryan, a small guy in his era.

And then they wonder why nobody can get over and draw money today!

I've been watching Spring Stampede 2000 and so far the Terry Funk vs Norman Smiley match and Booker T vs Sting have been good matches.

WM XXX was booked flawlessly from beginning to end pretty much. The two Daniel Bryan matches over Triple H and then Orton/Batista to close out his story, Cesaro winning the battle royal by tossing Big Show, The Shield squashing :flabbynsick: Kane and the outlaws, the shock and awe of Undertaker's streak ending to Lesnar. The reaction from the crowd on that 3 count was something u never see anymore. You could hear the gasps.

I think Bray probably should have gone over Cena OR at least Cena should have beat the shyt outta him with that chair to get in some type of character development for him moving forward but it wasn't something that killed Wyatt. It was the PPVs that followed that did him no favors.

Matches I listed:

Vs Taker (only HIAC, Ground Zero and Rumble matches were nothing)
vs Bret (only WM, we acting like the Survivor Series match is a good match lol)
Vs Mankind
Vs Austin (KOTR only, WM match was nothing
vs Sid (not even because it was GOOD, but the crowd reaction was)
vs Diesel at IYH

Those matches with Bulldog fukking suck, dude. He was clearly fukked up in the Beware of Dog match.

Vader/HBK might legit be the most disappointing match of the entire New Gen era, and it was entirely on HBK being a piece of shyt and going out of his way to make Vader look bad to pull a power play.
It was actually a really good match though. If it wasn't for the Screwjob it would have been their best match against each other.

WWF Wrestlemania 9

Probably the single most maligned WM of all time, and it turns out...it's actually good. Not "it's not as bad as people say". Actually a good show. Multiple career performances (Tatanka, Yoko, arguably Crush all had their best matches, Lex had his best WWF match, Perfect's best match not involving Bret in 3 years), multiple intersecting angles that set up the next 4-5 months of TV, and a neat and refreshing outdoor venue.

It's a shame that people judge it based on what DIDN'T happen after, and that Hogan Hogan'd and fukked up plans, but it's very clear from this event that TV would have looked like this until Summerslam:

Bret vs Luger (Luger laid Bret out a brunch earlier in the day, meaning Bret wasn't even at full strength heading into the match with Yoko)
HBK vs Perfect (Luger beats Perfect, Perfect tries to get some skin back and HBK beats his ass)
Luna vs Sherri (With Tatanka and Luna's new guy getting dragged into it)
More fukkery with Doink and Crush
More fukkery with Gonzalez and Taker leading to a gimmick match
Money Inc vs Steiners for the titles (Money Inc/Mega Maniacs seemed decisive even with a DQ finish, Steiners decisively beat Headshrinkers)
Hogan still presumably does nothing or beats Yoko again, then puts Bret over at Summerslam as Bret got fukked out of the title, didn't get his rematch, and Hogan challenged Bret before the title match to start with

Some of it happened, some of it didn't, but this show certainly had laid out a vision until Summerslam. When the story of this show gets told, everyone seems to forget that Hulk didn't just walk out there and demand a title shot. He went out to tell the ref what happened to reverse the decision, and Fuji/Yoko CHALLENGED him on the spot. And Hulk wasn't going to do it, but then Fuji put the title on the line and Bret told him to go for it. They also forget to mention it got the biggest reaction of the show, and people were happier to see Hogan win than they were sad to see Bret lose.
