This is the 18th of 29 topics looking back on previous Wrestlemania events. Every couple of days I have been submitting a new one and will continue until all of the past Wrestlemania events have been discussed, leading up to the big day in April where Wrestlemania 30 will take place.
This thread will be for discussing.... Wrestlemania 18!
Wrestlemania 18 took place on March 17, 2002 at the SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario. There were 68,237 fans who attended. Here are the results of the show:

11. Triple H defeated Chris Jericho (c) (with Stephanie McMahon) in a singles match to win the Undisputed WWF Championship (18:41)
Now, here are some discussion questions concerning the event:
What was your favorite match on this show, and why did you like it the most? What about the worst match of this show, why did you like it the least?
If you could change a few things about Wrestlemania 18, what would it be and why?
You may only use wrestlers who were available at the roster at that time or make changes that could have realistically taken place in March 2002. Please keep in mind the situations going into the show such as who could actually have been pushed into a title match, or what songs existed back then if you wanted to change the show's theme music, and so forth.
You may only discuss Wrestlemania 18 in this thread. The remaining Wrestlemania events will be getting their own retrospective threads shortly, any posts regarding other events will be considered spam and you risk getting an infraction.
