I remember genuinely loving 2004 when it happened.
-The 2004 Rumble match is my favorite one ever, just brilliant pacing and booking all around
-Eddie beating Lesnar
-I liked the majority of WM20
-Amazing ending to WM20
-Taker being the Deadman again
-Orton/Foley feud
-Cena's rise
-Angle's fun run as SmackDown GM
-Bradshaw somehow becoming the most entertaining heel in the company overnight
The only thing from that year I remember hating clear as day even back then was Orton's terrible face turn.
I'd be interested in seeing how that year held up when I get there in my watch through. Obviously the Benoit stuff doesn't carry the same emotional investment but I watched the 04 Rumble in January and realized I totally still love it as a match, I'm sure I'll feel the same way about the WM20 main event.
