That doesn't sound good on a paper at all. Especially not after both were coming off of injuries. Pretending I haven't seen WM9 20 times, the only things that really look like they could be good are Steiners vs Headshrinkers, HBK vs Tatanka, and Razor vs Backlund.

I get WrestleMania 11, which has Zeb!
1 The Allied Powers (Lex Luger and The British Bulldog) vs. The Blu Brothers (Jacob and Eli) (with Uncle Zebekiah) Tag team match
2 Razor Ramon (with The 1–2–3 Kid) vs. Jeff Jarrett (c) (with The Roadie) Singles match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship
3 The Undertaker (with Paul Bearer) vs. King Kong Bundy (with Ted DiBiase) Singles match with Larry Young as the special guest referee
4 Owen Hart and Yokozuna (with Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette) vs. The Smoking Gunns (c) (Billy and Bart) Tag team match for the WWF Tag Team Championship
5 Bret Hart vs. Bob Backlund "I Quit" match with Roddy Piper as the special guest referee
6 Diesel (c) (with Pamela Anderson) vs. Shawn Michaels (with Sid and Jenny McCarthy) for the WWF Championship
7 Lawrence Taylor vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (with Ted DiBiase) (Lumberjack match)
Fun fact since this was discussed earlier, this WrestleMania didn't have a main event WWF title match!

On paper, pre-accident/WBF Luger vs fit Perfect would have been good - didn't know about the injuries (bows to more knowledgeable persons).
Still, having to finish that review on Hogan is going to be the biggest downer since... WM30. Wait a second...
Oh dear lord, I was 15 when I saw this...
Clearly I enjoyed it.
Lex was coming off the motorcycle wreck (and cycling off steroids) and Perfect had taken time off for most of 1991 and 1992 for his bad back. Lex was never the same after jumping to the WWF, although I have no idea if that had anything to do with the bike wreck. Lex was really pretty decent and very capable of being carried to a good match before 1992. After that, he was terrible. Perfect was also a shell of himself in 1993, but not terrible by any stretch. Those two in a match against each other in 1990 would have been really fun I bet.
I have a feeling that the only reason Perfect came back to the ring in 1992-1993 was because Vince offered him a ton of money due to the lack of star power at the time. Same thing with WCW, as he was working with back and knee injuries basically his entire run there.
On Pamela Anderson? Obviously. If Jenny had work done at that time it was done well.

A fairly poor Wrestlemania in my book. When Savage vs Hogan is the best match on the card, you can pretty much guess the standard of the other matches. Andre vs Jake has some comedy value however.
JBL "Emma is so hideous, Maggle."

Nobody other than Aii and other creepy looking people would go watch a movie with AJ in it.

3, 6, 7 and 8 are all better than 5 in my opinion. 9 on the other hand is likely the worst Wrestlemania ever. Funny thing is I enjoyed 9 in my teens. Watching it today however is fucking brutal.

Did a test with giffing from the WWE Network for my Mania review. Gotta love that picture quality.
That movement, so smooth <3
Wow that is much better than VHS haha!

I'm assuming everything that comes out of JBL's mouth right now is either directly from Vince or something he perceives Vince would like to hear.
If I wanted to watch JBL speak candidly, I'd go look up one of his stock advice or mountain climbing videos. The only thing I see on WWE is a soulless dancing husk in a cowboy hat with Vince McMahon's wrist up his asshole.
There's absolutely nothing genuine about anyone on the commentary team right now. Whereas all of the best commentators and color guys in wrestling have authenticity and commitment to their craft in spades. Whether you're talking about JR, Heenan, Monsoon, Ventura... hell, even Tenay.

In other news, Ric Flair turned 65 today....

Quite right.
I just thought the comment was so unnecessary even for a Heel commentator to make. It doesn't make sense to knock the appearance of a Diva outta nowhere.

I might if I thought Orton was nearby, had been aiming for a gym bag and misfired. I'd want to mock him for his bad aim.
it was a huge mistake. Horrible move

She's real brah. Photoshop plus bikini. Look at swimsuit models like Kate Upton and Brooklyn Decker. They wear bikinis that make them seem like they have water balloons aboutto burst.And speaking of plastic:

Lol. I should have looked it up. Saw a tweet from JR dated today and assumed it to be factually correct...Likely he posted it US evening and I received it UK am.
With the WWE Network launching, this week I've been looking for old photos I'd never uploaded. Thought I'd pass all my wrestling photos along here!

This is just great. If she can channel that natural emotion in promo's and it comes out natural like that she can be great. I just became more of a fan for her by watching this thanks for the link. NXT is gonna be a great time going forward more than ever.
