I still enjoyed it but yeah it was disappointing, I think the HHH mania match was better for sure

And the Trips match was extremely disappointing after the really good buildup

When we were watching X8 not too long I was saying I think their match is pretty underrated. I didn’t see what’s supposed to be wrong with it.

Like this was the guy who "cost" Trips months of his career, the match that we got could have been so much better if it was a brawl

I think they only think that hurts it is being after Hogan/Rock, but the match itself is perfectly acceptable.

Perception from card placement is like the only real criticism I can name for it, like it was a good match. Just not super memorable by any means like you'd want a mania main event to be

I honestly don't think I'd like it any better if it was earlier

I think by this point they were moving away from brawling mania main events. The year before they would have 100%.

I just found it disappointing especially considering their matches in 2000 were so much better

It’s more memorable to me than most Manias after 20 for me and honestly it’s just the card placement.

Hogan and Rock was always gonna be the show stealer.

I would have to assume he wasn’t going as hard because of the fact he just came back from injury.

A match that disappoints me that should have been better is Hunter’s match with Orton. What happened?
