In my opinion Wrestlemania 25 is one of the most underrated wrestlemania's in history.
When I read these posts it is clear most people here are fans of the attitude era and are clearly not fans of this current era (I refuse to call it the "PG Era")
I personally see upsides to both the manias, however both had problems as well.
Lets start with 15
the good:
Shane VS X pac: One of theonly trully good matches on the show, ad really entertaining (but hardly a classic), but had a great ending with triple h's heal turn
Stone cold vs the rock: I personally loved this match, it was the first in the great austin-rock wrestlemania trilogy, some will say it was the worst, however we need to remember this was when the rock was very much still in progression to a full main eventer, and to be honest, for that reason, the match is even better cause of that.
the bad: pretty much everything else was horrendous: the divas match, brawl for all and of course the HIAC match with undertaker and big boss man, and of course the way it ended was one of the stupidest things i have ever seen.
all the other matches were average at best (triple threat harcore, intercontinental match, show v mankind, kane v triple h)
And now a wrestlemania that is very underrated simply because one match was bad:
the good:
undertaker v michaels: easily one of the greatest matches of all time, arguably the match that 'saved' wrestlemania 25.
MITB: i cant believe people shit on this, I personally loved this match, in my personal opinion it was one of the best ever MITB matches, but no; because a new guy didnt win, every one hates it: allow me to remind u of two things:
one: this is wrestling: sometimes the guy u want to win, will win, but other times he loses.
Say u were watching a football match, would u really be happy if the team u wanted to win, would win EVERY SINGLE TIME. Before u say 'yes', think about it-that would be boring, the joys of competitive sports is that u never no who will win.
Bloody hell, remember people win ad lose matches, sometimes u want him to win, sometimes u dont.
ALSO: cm punk's victory arguably led him to where he is today, and lets not forget the feud we got from that very match (hardy v punk)
Triple threat championshp match:
In my opinion, this match is very underrated and sadly will always be overshadowed by undertaker v michaels.
Now i am not saying that this math was better than that match, however it seams to me, people r shitting all over this match simply because it wasn't as good (and because people just want an excuse to hate cena). Just because the match wasnt as good as the other doesent meen its a bad match. (i bet u if at wrestlemania 26 batista v cena and edge v jericho had come after taker v michaels people would despise those matches, because people have an expectation of every match to follow to get better and u no i am right)
the bad:
Diva's match: yeah it was bad, but get used to it, pretty much every wrestlemania since 19 has only had bad diva's matches.
kid rock concert: yeah, i didnt like this, it went on for too long, and yes, when it replaced the tag match i was pissed: BUT: guess what? THE DVD came out!!!! and guess what! they have the tag match included in it! and....the kid rock concert isnt!
so that means, now when u watch wrestlemania 25, u can see the tag match and not bother with the concert!
let me guess: "oh but on the one day 2 years ago, i didnt get to see it"
I hope u can see why that looks stupid and why thats a bad excuse-but incase u cant-it was 2 years ago, get over it, u can watch the match now as part of the show.
Triple H VS Randy orton: I didnt like this match, I hoped it would be better than that, orton and triple h have had much better matches, i was disappointed yes (though it wasnt anywhere near as bad as people made it out to be)
Everything else:
matt v jeff: i'll admit i was slightly disappointed with this match, however it was still a solid extrem rules match. i liked this match, it wasnt as good as i though it would be, but i still liked it, and most people who simply watch it for what it is, will agree.
handicap match: well the dragon was good, the other...blah.
The mickey rourke thing-just another stupid wrestlemania celebrity moment (wasnt as bad as the butterbean thing thou)
JBL v Mysterio: I never understood why people shit on this all the time: i remember before the show was even advertised NO ONE even cared about that match, the match was being shited all over even before it came on the air, no one wanted to see it, so u should be thankful it was barley even a match! Anyway, say they had gotten 10 minuets-it probably would av been worse
at least we got a hilarious segment, forget about it being a poor end of for JBL, just watch it as a funny segment.
and yeah, so overall i would say 25 is the better show, overall a better selection of matches.
yes, both had their problems, both had crap matches, both had good matches, both had classics
by the way sorry if i offended anyone, we all have a right to our opinions, i was just giving mine.
Thanks
