Great WM for sure.
Why did you post that with a TNA logo? :lol:

Anyhow, yeah, 'Mania III is pretty fantastic, with pretty much no match being disappointing. Hell, even the mixed tag was great once Bundy slammed Little Beaver. :lol:

Today in WWE History we have to go back to 2004, Wresltemania 24, but this is more or less about the final WWE Match of Ric Flair.

Flair was in my opinion the best of all time. But this goes back to what I said about Shawn, Ric is one of them guys who can't stay retired when he is retired cause he's had matches since this in many companies. Flair as much respect as I have for him does honestly need to just step aside for good and never do another match again.

Let's see your opinion on this and take it around the room!

My opinion is that I love Flair but that match with Michaels is majorly overrated.

Nah it was so emotional.


Anyway, watching Flair's DVD made me see just how perfect this guy was in his prime. His matches were all 5 stars and he could cut an amazing promo.

Seeing where he is now, yeah he should retire. He's just making a fool of himself TBH. It's not 1990, it's 2013.

The Michaels/Flair match is terribly overrated. Flair just looked old, slow and hardly how you want to remember him. Michaels worked his ass off and managed to drag Flair to a good 3 star range match.

I love Flair/HBK for the same reasons people love Hogan/Rock. Sure it may not have been a work rate masterpiece, but it had all the right emotions going for it.

Today in Wrestling History March 31, 1985 the very first Wrestlemania!!!!

It was the start of something totally new! the start of something really big! it was Wrestlemania! This event broke ground for many Wrestlemania's to come. So that's what happened Wrestlemania and I am very glad it did!

Wrestlemania 1 was good for what it was. It was hardly an original idea, but it was the next logical step in taking over America. The purpose was served and you had a really good celeb match as the MOTN.

At the same time, the previous MSG show from just two weeks prior had a match (Valentine/Santana) better than anything on WM 1.

It was ok I guess. It was just to get WWF out there as the ultimate company and obviously it worked.

Today in WWE History!!! WRESTLEMANIA X7!! a very great Wrestlemania with a very great card with Austin vs Rock as the Main Event, we also saw the first of three matches between Undertaker and Triple H, an AWESOME TLC Match with the The Dudley Boyz, Hardy Boyz, and Edge and Christian facing each other. I think it was a great PPV one of the last few great Wrestlemania's in my personal opinion.

So what's everyone think of Wrestlemania X7?

A good show but definitely not the greatest PPV ever, as some would have you believe. Hell, I don't even think it's the best WWE PPV ever, my vote for that would be Canadian Stampede. Anyhow, other than that, there were some great matches on this show for sure and it was capped off by an excellent main event. You can't really ask for much more than that.
