Hey yo, I don't normally go about making topics and such in the wrestling forum, but I'm out $50 and I wanna talk about Wrestlemania XX, damnit.
They said WM XX is "where it all begins again", and begin again it did. For me, it all started again. The love, the hate, the markdom, the smarkdom, the joy, the pain... I FELT IT ALL TONIGHT! You'll have to excuse me if I'm rambling or even ranting like a lunatic, but I just saw one of the most beautiful things I've ever born witness to and I'm still riding the adremaline rush.
This Wrestlemania did not live up to the hype. That's ok, though, as the second coming of Jebus H Christ, Himself, couldn't live up to that much hype. No, WM XX didn't live up to the hype, but it was a great show nonetheless. I don't know about anyone else who watched the show, but I feel like I got my money's worth tonight. And coming from a broke-as-hell Canucklehead trying to complete a degree in the States (which is verrry expensive), that means a lot. Well, I think I'll take this opportunity to point out my likes and dislikes of each match.
WWE US Title Match
- The Big Show vs. John Cena
Funky's Likes: John Cena Picking up the title. Believe it or not, he's gotten pretty over without ever having a title. John Cena leaning backward and avoiding the haymaker from Show was a nice touch. Cena Out smarting the Ref was a great finish.
Funky's Dislikes: Big Show dominated just a bit too much, but what can you do?
World Tag Team Titles Match
- Booker T & RVD vs. Jindrak & Cade vs. La Resistance vs. The Dudley Boyz
Funky's Likes: The Champs retained and made the title look like they're worth a crap. La Resistance's new gear looks sharp.
Funky's Dislikes: That god-awful music Booker T is using has those RVD sound bits in it now. The match wasn't Wrestlemania worthy.
Chris Jericho vs. Christian
Funky's Likes: Great match, and the ending solidifies Jericho as a face. How about that almost psycho kiss betwwen Jericho and Trish? Jericho is going to have lots of material for trash talk now (remember Eddie & Chyna or HHH & Steph?).
Funky's Dislikes: Trish sucked as a heel before, so I'm skeptical about now. No more Jericho/Christian tag teams.
The Rock & Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton, Batista, & Ric Flair
Funky's Likes: Mick doing the job, but still coming out on top. Orton getting the clean pin. Ric's "I don't think so, motherfu>cker" was classic.
Funky's Dislikes: Rock has lost his timing in the ring; definitely not up to par with his match last year.
Evening Gown Match
- Torrie Wilson & Sable vs. Stacy Keibler & Miss Jackie
[b]Funky's Likes:[b/] It was short.
Funky's Dislikes: I'd rather not get into ranting about how I think that valets belong on the
outside of the ring.
WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
- Cruiserweight Open
Funky's Likes: The cruiserweights getting airtime. Ultimo Dragon got a pin before being jobbed.
Funky's Dislikes: The match not being a free-for-all. Ultimo slipping twice during his intro.

My dream not coming true and Ultimo getting knocked out early. Mysterio's Superhero costumes (what the hell, man?).
WWE Women’s Title Match
- Victoria vs. Molly Holly (If Molly loses, she loses her hair)
Funky's Likes: Molly trying to run after losing.
Funky's Dislikes: Molly getting shaved all the way bald. The barber sitting there like a dumbass handing the wrong woman the shears.
- Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg
Special Referee: Steve Austin
Funky's Likes: uh... the crowd reactions.
Funky's Dislikes: The match taking forever to start, and then sucking the whole way through. Austin being involved. Hell, this whole damn feud sucked.
WWE Tag Team Titles Match
- Rikishi & Scotty Too Hotty vs. Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. The Basham Brothers vs. The APA
Funky's Likes: WGTT's performance.
Funky's Dislikes: The champs retaining. The dance routine (it's old, move on

). This match had the exact same stipulations as the Raw one.
WWE Title Match
- Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle
Funky's Likes: This was a spectacular match. Eddie outsmarting Angle with the faked injury. Good ol' fashioned mat wrestling.
Funky's Dislikes: er... I'll get back to you when I can think of one.
The Undertaker vs. Kane
Funky's Likes: Deadman Taker. Paul Bearer (I guess the McRumour was McTrue afterall). Kane stopping the tope rope move.
Funky's Dislikes: Kane's fear playing too much of a role in the match. Undertaker's hair was too short (hair extentions, anyone?

). Taker's costume basically staying the same as biker Taker, except with the old symbol on it.
Triple Threat World Title Match
- Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit
Funky's Likes: Benoit wins! The match was excellent. The moonsault off the top. Benoit's bump. King saying "Where did Benoit come from? Did the EMTs throw him into the ring?" HHH tapping out.
Funky's Dislikes: HHH no selling Benoit's punches most of the match. Shawn's constant over-blading (I swear he's gonna bleed to death one of these days). The announcer saying that Benoit's from Atlanta, Georgia (I think I misheard, and I hope I did).
Thoughts? Flames?
