Remember in Pro wrestling, you don't have to be a good wrestler to be a good in ring performer. I mean look at Cena, Rock,Warrior, some crappy wrestlers by term, but great in ring perfomers and that is what counts and Hogan is a better in ring perfomer than Flair and that is true. hogan comes once in a blue moon because he has doesn't want fans to remember him as flabby wrestler with a belly as we remember Flair!
Lil Wes
03-30-2008, 09:11 PM
Collins, seriously. Why would WWE turn him heel right now? Get over it. Not happening, common sense.
EDIT: Quit copying my arguments.
Starchild
03-30-2008, 09:12 PM
How the hell was Rock not repetitive? He did and still does the same damn thing every time, like at HOF last night.
That isn't to say I don't like him.
Cena is everything that is right about the business, he really loves it and gives all he can to the troops and make a wish foundation. He goes out and does what's asked of him and never gets in trouble for anything.
And I just don't think the man can be a heel..it just wouldn't work.

Mayweather-Big Show match was really entertaining. Kind of short, and Mayweather shouldn't have won, but it was pretty good. It wasn't worth what WWE was hyping it up to though. I would be kind of pissed if I had bought the PPV just for Mayweather-Big Show. Taker vs. Edge is gonna be SICKKKK

Edge vS Untertaker was the weakest promoted match on the card and is the main event, I have no clue what Cena or Triple H did to get bumped, but a title change is coming so I guess it has to be lst, but last year taker won the belt and it wasn't last.

No... why would they? it's WRESTLEMANIA. if anybody in TNA ever wanted to compete in 'Mania, they wouldn't disrupt the biggest show in the business. Besides, the TNA wrestlers aren't paid enough to even buy tickets, let alone front row seats.

So i thought that some inside source said something special was supposed to happen. So what happened? Nothing. It was a very crappy match and the only big thing that the crowd might have enjoyed about was the money falling onto them. But if i recall correctly Donald Trump did that on raw last year so that couldn't have been the surprise. It think this storyline was just dumb anyways.

It was a great show, much better than I expected. RKO winning was awsome, Taker was obvious, Mayweather/Show match was way better than I expected, Finlay/JBL was a really good match and MITB had some great moments. But most importantly was the HBK/Flair match was amazing, if you are a wrestling fan, you wanted to see Flairs last match, so you should not be happy you didn't order the PPV. Great Wrestlemania!

I have to say that i'm really disappointed with the triple threat...I think it was the best match on paper that i've never seen in a long time...but it was very bad...nothing happened...
Best moments: Flair vs HBK, Benjamin through a ladder, Undertaker entrance, Undertaker vs Edge, the BIG technical problem when all the lights turned off lol...and finally when JBL threw a garbage can right on Hornswoggle...
Better than last year...but WM 22 was better...

This Wrestlemania just rocked...I loved the Flair-HBK match, I wasn't born during the era in which Ric Flair made his name and even I was a bit misty eyed (bug in my eye- I swear)- even had my mom who hadn't watched wrestling since she was a kid come watch....showed me what impact RIc Flair has played in alot of lives, whether they realise it or not.
Rest of the night rocked also, Mayweather match was surprisingly good- wouldn't want him to punch me with brass knucks. Bunnymania wasn't as bad as expected. Taker-Edge went as I thought it would- still rocked though:)
Oh and RANDY RETAINED...now that's enough to send me to sleep happy:D

That was an incredible Mania,every match was great (except bunnymania)..great classic by Flair and HBK and MITB was hectic even though im pissed off CM Punk won because i think wwe missed a possible hectic spot which involves morrison winning which he should of btw..when the ladder flipped up he should of ran up it jumped onto the briefcase and stayed in the air singing around on the briefcase he should of taken the case off and climbed the cable a bit and stay hanging on the cable above the wrestlers celebrating with the briefcase..that would of been sweet IMO but to top wrestlemania off...ORTON RETAINED !!!!!!!!!!!

Wrestlemania 24 was fucking solid as hell. Good show and I'm damn happy I ended up taking the plune at the 11th hour to bought it. Pretty much, a solid show, minus the divas, from top to bottom.

Flair/HBK should have ended the show... nuff said.
I agree. Edge/Taker was ok but Flair/HBK stole the show and after that nothing lived up to it. Should have headlined.

Wrestlemania 24 made some history last night:
The Undertaker became the 3rd wrestler to win three world titles in the main event at Wrestlemania, joining Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin. In terms of overall titles, Christian also won three titles at Wrestlemania, winning the tag team titles twice and the Hardcore title one.
Randy Orton became only the 2nd heel to retain a World title, joining HHH.
HHH has now lost 4 straight Wrestlemanias, losing to Benoit, Batista, Cena, and Orton.
This is the first Wrestlemania that John Cena was pinned, plus the first Wrestlemania he did not walk out with a championship.
The Undertaker is now 16-0 at Wrestlemania, with 14 pinfalls, 1 DQ win (Giant Gonzalez) and now 1 submission victory.
This is Edge's first one-on-one loss at Wrestlemania. (At least he hasn't been pinned!)
Money in the Bank has a pattern so far. CM Punk is the 2nd face to win it, and so far the pattern is heel, face, heel, face. Also, he is the first ECW star to win it, and the first to win after participating in the match before.
Kane may have beaten Hulk Hogan's record for a Wrestlemania victory by beating Chavo Guerrero in less than 30 seconds to become ECW World Champion. The record is 21 seconds by Hogan over Yokozuna.
Oddly enough, this is only the 2nd victory at Wrestlemania for Randy Orton, since Wrestlemania 20 when he pinned Foley in a handicap match.
Only three titles were defended at Wrestlemania 24, all World titles.
This is the first Wrestlemania that the ECW World Championship was defended.
This is the 3rd straight Wrestlemania where the night ended with a wrestler tapping out in a World title match (HHH, Michaels, and Edge)
Finlay has never won at Wrestlemania. (0-3)
Ric Flair retires having won two Wrestlemania matches: the handicap match where Orton got his first win and a tag team match with Carlito against Gregory Helms and Chavo Guerrero. Flair has lost both one-on-one matches (Randy Savage and The Undertaker) and his lone Money in the Bank appearance.

Nope, no one is bigger then a title match at Mania. Plus, the match was good, but not even in the top half of the best of the night.

That's BS, it was easily MOTN and probably MOTY contender.

Please tell me you're being sarcastic. Flair was good, but he was spent within the first ten minutes of the match. That match ranked #5 on the night. The two title matches were much better.
Don't confuse the emotion after the match with the action in the ring. from bell to bell, minus the last ten seconds, that match was good, but not great.

I'm not being sarcastic, the match was well done and outpreformed all but the MITB and WHC match which were very close but not better.
I see you looking down on it just because of who's in it, HBK.
But meh, your opinion, when it probably wins MOTY, I won't be surprised. HBK does that yearly.

Actually, I like HBK and I liked the match a lot, but unlike most people, I don't believe everything that HBK touches turns to gold. The WHC was much better, MITB was better (and you know my opinion on those matches), the WWE title match was better.
Flair vs. Michaels was good, but not great. Flair couldn't go, and it showed. Put it this way, if that match happened at any other pay per view, easily match of the night, but htis is Wrestlemania, and the title matches came to play. Without HBK vs. Flair going in the middle of the card, I don't think it would have pushed the guys going on later to do as good.

I still disagree. That WWE title match was just meh, not good by any means but not bad neither, and the WHC match didn't pick up and bored the crowd to tears for about the first 10 minutes, as for MITB, it's the best we've seen yet, the starpower had alot to do with that and I agree with your opinion on the taking away mid card matches but HBK/Flair was flawless, if it was anyone who proved they couldn't go it was HBK for about 5 minutes after he busted his ribs, which added more to the story. Which again was fantastic.
Either way, Mania or not Mania, that match is MOTN and still a MOTY contender in my opinion.
