ah, Wrestlemania 19 has come and gone..it wasnt the best i have ever seen, but i thought it was still entertaining. some random thoughts..
Triple H vs Booker T: i knew Triple H was going to win, mainly to set up Austin vs Triple H. plus when Booker T pinned Triple H on the previous Raw, that pretty much let everyone know "The Game" would win. i still believe Booker T will be a world champion one day. plus, is Triple H still alive after Booker landed that move off the top rope? he landed on Triple H's head. ow........
Rock vs Austin: i LOVED this match. Rock is one hell of an entertainer. him and Austin work very well together. i am suprised that Rock beat him cleanly though. i am going to enjoy laughing at this one girl at work who just loves Austin.
Angle vs Lesnar: good match, but i expected more. Angle kicking out of the F-5 was interesting, but when Brock missed that flip off the top rope, we all thought he was dead. Angle was WAY to far away for him to try that move. looks like he got caught up in the Wrestlemania emotion, trying to create a memory. yeah, we will remember that for a while. but much love has to go to Angle. i always found him to be on eof the most gifted, most charismatic wrestlers around. it will be sad to see him gone for a year, but i hope he recovers well and gets back to action. tell me you wont miss him responding in his manner whenever the crowd yells "What?" Angle is the MAN.
Hogan vs McMahon: exactly what i expected. what did people expect? a great match involving actual wrestling moves? c'mon, Hogan is 49 and McMahon is like 57 or so. for them to even go out there is amazing. but you do have to admit, when McMahon nailed Hogan with a legdrop off the ladder, it was pretty funny. also, remember when McMahon first got that lead pipe, then you see the camera angle show his bloody face as it slowly rose above the ring apron with that evil smile? that was a GREAT camera shot, great direction, just well done!! i am into video producing, directing and performing. that was one hell of a shot. also, when Hogan nailed that Spanish announcer, was that part of the plan. we couldnt stop laughing off that. but i felt that surge of Hulkamania when he "Hulked up". that was vintage Hogan. the only thing that sucks about Hogan is his ring entrance music. he REALLY needs to bring back "Real American". i think it would have been appropriate.
the Catfight girls: you darn well knew nothing was really going to happen. in order to have some kind of physical action, they had to bring in women who have experience, Stacy and Torrie. the Catfight girls are actresses. anyway, it was stupid and seeing the coach in his "tighty whities" wasnt a moment we want to remember.
Michaels vs Jericho: great match. Michaels isnt a good as he was, but he can still perform. i wanted to see "sweet chin music" but oh well. Jericho and Michaels work well together. i hope they continue the fued.
Mysterio vs Hardy: i agree. that was SHORT!!! i was really looking forward to that match, and it was quick. oh well, the life of the cruiserweights....
Trish vs Jazz vs Victoria: amusing match. i like women's wrestling and this match was pretty good. i thought Jazz would win, but hey, cant complain about Trish....
Benoit/Rhyno vs Los Guerreros vs Team Angle: good match, but triple threat tag matches are always difficult. the athleticism was great and i was upset to see team Angle win....
Undertaker vs Big Show/A-train: after getting a little fired up afer hearing "rollin, rollin rollin" by Limp Bizkit, the match itself was "okay". the Undertaker is still a phenom, but i REALLY want him to go back to the deadman gimmick. this biker thing is boring.
Wrestlemania 19 was okay. could have been a better, but i still found it quite entertaining. now that Goldberg is there, let's see how this affects things.
