In the months leading up to WrestleMania 29 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, we'll be taking a look back at the best and worst of WrestleMania's past.
w/ Alex Archer & Violet Buttle
Venue: SkyDome(Toronto, Ontario)
Attendance: 68,237
On Commentary: Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross
Main Event: Chris Jericho vs. Triple H for the Undisputed WWF Championship
Alex's Opinion
Best: Two of the biggest names in pro wrestling history squared off for the first time at this WrestleMania: Hulk Hogan and The Rock. The wrestling portion of the match left something to be desired, but it was still a damn good time. The crowd came absolutely unglued when Hogan made his trademark comeback. The Rock eventually came out on top and then both men beat up Hall and Nash, who made a post-match appearance to kick Hogan out of the nWo, and then Hogan and Rock posed for the crowd together. This certainly could've been in the main event spot.
Worst: As we really hit the Attitude Era head on with Manias 15-19, it's going to be hard to find the "worst" part of these events. Christian and DDP put together a somewhat lackluster performance, and because I was expecting more, I would say that their match was the worst of the bunch. Though it was the worst of the show, it still wasn't bad.
Violet's Opinion
Best: Even though I knew that Austin would end the match by executing a Stunner on both Nash and Hall, I was still really excited to see it happen and so was the crowd. Their reaction to this match was crazy even though they probably saw the ending coming from a mile away too. I was expecting Hall to look a little slow in the ring, which he did at times, but I was impressed with the energy he had. He sold every Stunner beautifully.
Worst: It's difficult for a hardcore match to get really hardcore when it only lasts for 3:15. Maven and Golddust didn't get a chance to make their match for the Hardcore title memorable or exciting before Spike Dudley came to the ring and pinned Maven. The multiple title changes after the match standout more than the actual planned match did.
