not that is a knock on x7 but my opinion was the main matches that stood out from that card were matches that had already been done or would be done again when we can look back in hindsight.
austin /rock had better buildup for their match at 15 and their match at 19 was better. the one at x7 seemed put together at the 11th hour with Rock not even having the belt til no way out that year.
taker/HHH got done again twice as well in later years
tlc as well had been done.
and vince in a streetfight would be done a couple more times.
it doesnt make that mania in any means bad just from a standpoint of when its marquee matches would be topped i thought it made another mania jump over it.
my personal vote was for wm3. and although we did get hogan andre again the next year we never got another savage /steamboat, and also little tokyo never got that rematch against king kong bundy. i kid there but, the spectacle of 3, aretha, the little mini ring carts, billy jack busted wide open, adonis and piper gave the first big wm match feel, the size of the crowd. savage, the brain in that white suit and most of all gorilla and the body. hard to top
