You see, the ending of WM IX meant they needed to change things and they did. With WM 2000, they didn't. Which is why WM 2000 will always be the worst mania of all time.

Wrestling is big in Japan, so it doesn't surprise me.
I'll decide Friday night.

Someone made a great point, ICP are wrestling Legends(lmfao did I just say that?). They wrestled and contributed music wise, they should've been inducted before big Snoop.
You guys are lobbying so hard against WrestleMania 2000 that my expectations are going to be so low that I'm swayed into believing that the show overachieved. I smell a D+...

Someone in his screenshots thread pointed out the comparisons to Mike Awesome/Gladiator and I got way more hype for Alex

As crazy as it sounds, ICP's Stranglemania VHS tapes from the 90s helped get a lot of American fans into Japanese wrestling.
They don't even know how magnets work, man... Although I wouldn't be surprised if people said the same about the other HoFs.

2000 isn't that bad.
I'm sure this gets tossed out every year, but what's the best Mania match, and what's your favorite?
As far as best goes, modern audiences and WWE will tell you Taker/HBK I, but really... it doesn't top Austin/Hart.
Favorite for me? I'll get back to ya.

Best Mania match is the greatest match in the world and that belongs to WM, the Ironman match. My favourite is probably King v Michael Cole.

My favorite is Bryan vs HHH. People went crazy in the arena, and as corny as it was, it lead to another match on the same night which was a very satisfying end to the B+ player thing.
In my opinion, the best was Angle vs Eddie at XX. It ended via shenanigans, but it was great. Second place belongs to Hardy Boyz x Dudley Boyz x E&C at X7.

This should have been a WM match for the title.
2000 was so bad that in the 20 years of Mania video WWE did back in the day, every Mania's focus was the main event until Mania 2000 where the highlight was the TLC match, not the main event.
You shoot the double and you Get a takedown plus a weapon to beat him.

That's more of an indictment of the main event than the show as a whole. I won't argue it was even good but it's got the TLC and it's got Angle/Benoit/Jericho so it's at least got something.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't even get it. I don't think Eva Marie is particularly good looking, even. She looks like she's made out of plastic.

Remember when fate gave you 2000 to review?
In case you want to re-live the wonderful event.
You and 2000 are tied at the hip for life.
Yeah but even Mania 13 focused on Sid/Undertaker rather than Bret/Austin.

Not sorry.

That's the thing. They think people will cheer Eva cause of how hot she is. But there are women in the WWE just as attractive, if not, more attractive than her. I mean jesus, have you seen Alexa Bliss?
I agree with you, in my opinion there are many better looking female wrestler in the WWE. But, still, she's got what can be called "main-stream beauty". It's actually easy to understand why people think she's drop dead gorgeous when you take in consideration the looks that get the most attention nowadays.
Eva Marie is extremely attractive but she wouldn't be in my fav five attractive WWE wrestlers
Alexa Bliss
Sasha Banks
Carmella
Becky Lynch
Nikki Bella

That's very smooth looking. Kudos to both of them.

I guess if looks are important to you in wrestling, then it matters
All Japanese developed game series' have more German Suplexes, Backdrop Drivers and Lariats than you could possibly imagine.

She has zero ties to Johnny Ace.
Wrestling skill, Mic work, Looks.
You only need one for millions of people to tune in every week.
The WWE is like the WPA for untalented women wrestlers.
Cameron, Rosa Mendes, and Tamina Snuka are on the gravy train. Eva Marie will ride her lack of talent to a championship.

But seriously, if Eva is the first person to beat Asuka there will be so much heat it will melt a hole in Florida
I'd pay money to see Eva get destroyed by Asuka in a squash match
