I don't get why they split them up.
Where does WrestleMania X8 fall?

That's easy. It's the prequel to the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania.

The TLC is part of the destruction of wrestling from something about telling a story and drawing heat to the modern day gif wrestling.

Kane & Pac feud ended at NWO, but they still do another match just because they wanted everyone on the card.

The Lesnar vs Ambrose match pissed me off way more than the main event at 32.
Ladder match and women's match were fine at 32. Most of the matches were fine in some way, like the matches on their own were okay but the booking and outcome of the stories were what hurt it so bad to me.
I still can't believe Shane vs 'Taker went 30 minutes.

Apparently Carmella asked to be split up from them herself. Which fair enough since odds are the most she would do on Raw would be their valet and nothing else and she wants to develop on her own, but with that, you should have given her a new gimmick or at least something to describe who she was. I don't think we have had it said yet to the audience or even on commentary that she used to manage Enzo & Cass.

31 would maybe be worse if it weren't for Sting/Haitch

Other than the jump, that's the only thing I remember from 32.
Sad story, my friend who died moved to New Hampshire for a Job, he took a picture of the towers for me as he was passing by. It's so cool to see it everytime. I miss Ed, why'd he have to eat that cookie. 😦

..and the best main event in Wrestlemania history (before Seth ruined it).
I agree. The fact Ambrose got any offense...oh.
You'll be far less upset at WM 32 if you realize that WM is basically built these days to appeal to the casual fans who only watch WM and then don't watch again all year, so what they want is for their people to win - thus the Austin/HBK beatdown of The LoN, The Rock destroying Rowan, Shane McMahon main eventing a Mania, Jericho beating AJ, etc.
Notice how they basically ignored WM results aside from title changes after WM?

I was fine with Charlotte winning although I was rooting for either Sasha or Becky that night. That moonsault was gorgeous.
It did give us this beauty though.
What I don't get about HHH is that he visions himself as some kind of mix of Buddy Rodgers, Ric Flair, Harley Race, and a Billy Robenson who can't grapple yet the talent he helped push and create in Dean Ambrose, Reigns, Bray, and others all dress like fucking shit.
Main eventers wear tights or look like they are ready to take fight. It's the easiest way to show a guy is a main eventer.
KO might be the only exception on the roster.

Btw I was thinking about this lately but who decided to book Randy Orton against Brock Lesnar coming off serious shoulder surgery for like the 3rd time? Seems to be chronic injury at this point.
Lesnar just suplexes people without them landing clean. I get you need to big draw to face Lesnar but couldn't you just feed him Reigns or AJ Styles.

Ambrose dresses like Street fight Hunter, Reigns dresses like boot camp match Hunter, Bray dresses like Hunter toward the end of The corporate ministry.

Never forget that for a brief period of time, Erick Rowan threatening to kick out and shoot on the Rock was a legit rumor.
How can I argue with RuRu? He should have fucking won.Nothing compared to anything in Sting/H or...

I'm sorry you don't enjoy two badasses throwing shots at each other. Your loss.

Jesus Christ 31 was a mess, I wish I remembered something other than Taker eating Bray alive.

I wouldn't mind if the Undertaker showed up at least!
Cheers, she was huge on Punk, D-Bry and Cody.
Guys like Rollins, Dolph, Cesaro and Rusev (and some of the women) are still there she is a fan of but they aren't on the same level of favs as the top 3.
Like me she still loves things like Total Divas and other 'backstage' stuff where the wrestlers get to show a bit more personality but the main shows themselves she's pretty meh on now.

It's X-7 and it's not even close
I enjoyed Dolph and D-Bry burying their ladder match on Talking Smack last week.

Rock/Austin at WM 17 is the runner-up, even with the awful heel turn.
Shawn vs taker at WM 26, I legit had tears in my eyes. Austin vs rock at 17 was also amazing.

I can understand people saying WM 20 with [REDACTED], Haitch, and HBK even though I think it's kind of overrated or X-7 despite it's overkill. Michaels/'Taker, like the entirety of the whole quadrilogy, outside of maybe HBK/'Taker I is highly overrated.

Oh shit, you right about XX. It's a close second (match-wise, it's maybe even better but Rock/Austin is ICONIC)
X-7

There's your top 3.

Meltzer is saying all the wrestlers are legit pissed at Conor's tweet and that UFC/WWE had an actual plan going forward that might be in jeopardy now lol

The workers are now the marks. Sad to see.
that had the beginning of kickout abuse and the dumbest heel turn of all time.
Even if you thought Austin had to turn not in Texas.
For best main event?

Unfortunately, hard to have a good match when one person has reasons to sabotage it.

Ah fucking get over it and just fight him of you're so pissed. Luckily Iron Sheik can't do anything or he'd break that Jabroni's back and make him humble.
That main event put wrestling on the map.

For those wondering why I keep praising MMA/UFC, it's because it has similar hilarious stories of fuckups as wrestling
For example, this is now at least the third big plan the UFC has had (at least a hand in) that Conor has fucked up this year alone
The best part? He's still not Jon Jones level of fuck up.
