how would you clarify WM9's main event

[NormanSmiley]

we all know it was a disaster pigfuck but would you say the main event was bret v. yoko? or would you say it was yoko v hogan?

[Rammsteinmad]

I'd say it was Bret vs. Yoko with the shitty Hogan ending.

You say that now but I bet at the time 90% of us loved it.

True, but as the old saying goes, hindsight is 20/20, and in hindsight it was a tremendously gay ending.

I'd just say what HBK, in one of his dvd's when talking about his feud and match with Hogan in 2005, said Vince told him:

"That's how Terry does business".

It's disturbing how "That's how Terry does business" makes me think of Hogan taking a huge dump. ..Which I guess would be an appropriate comparison to just about all of his work in the last decade.

WM9 was the first WM I watched on PPV as a kid and I remember marking out like crazy for Hulk's "win". He wasn't the main event, though. Bret/Yoko was. Hindsight now shows, IMHO, Terry doing his smelly business at the end of a match Bret tried hard to make watchable.

[Hitman84]

I believe it was a double main event. Mega Maniacs vs Money Inc for the tag straps in the first main event, with Bret Hart vs Yokozuna as the second.

I'm not counting the impromptu match at the end with Hogan as part of it... I mean, come the fuck on, was that match sanctioned by Jack Tunney? Was there an official contract signing, involving trash talk, being stabbed with a pen, slammed through the table and then banzai dropped? Hell no! That match never officially happened... brutha! :roll:

I don't think the main event of a show is just the match that goes on last. It's the match that got the most build. I believe that would make the WM9 main event Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna.

A couple of other examples of main events that didn't go on last: Rock vs. Hogan at WM18and Lashley vs. Umaga at WM23 (although that was more McMahon vs. Trump).

I'd clarify it as the first time in WWF/E history that someone cashed in their Money in the Bank Contract.

Except Hogan's MITB contract was not won in a real ladder match, but a proverbial ladder match in which he climbed the "ladder" of creative control and took a shit on everyone on his way up. His contract was also tattooed on his spray-on tanned ass and was not in a briefcase.

This is perhaps the most insightful thing I've ever heard.

The Creative Control Ladder Match to replace Money in the Bank

That's why I hate Hogan. He doesn't like people that are not like him holding "his" title.
