Which match should be last at XX?

**Corndad** · 03-07-2004, 09:41 PM

Which match will be last at Wrestlemania?

Possiblities:

Beniot/HBK/HHH- Benoit winning rumble makes this front runner

Angle/Eddie- Usually the WWE title is last at almost every Wrestlemania i think except 2 or 3 in the past

Taker/Kane- Will they make us wait till end to see the return of the deadman?

Goldberg/Brock- This is a far fetched match to be last but i think will be in the last 3 matches

Dont think any others are even in concideration

What do you guys think?

pretty Obvious
RAW is seen as being bigger and better than Smackdown and HHH thinks he is god so the triple threat will be last

**The Show Off** · 03-07-2004, 10:09 PM

The Triple Threat Match will be the final match on the card, not because people consider Raw bigger then Smackdown!, and not even because Triple H thinks he's God, it's because it's tradition. The winner of the Royal Rumble goes to the main event at Wrestlemania. That's they way it has been for so many years, that's thwe way it'll be this year. Chris Benoit is in the Triple Threat match, and he won the Rumble, Chris Benoit will be in the main event. End of story.

I'm not going to complain about that one however.

WWE has been hyping the Raw brand as the superior brand for the last two monthhs for a reason. The triple threat match will be the the main event.

I'd rather see Angle and Eddie in the main event. They've hyped it much better than they have the triple threat and its going to be the match of the night.

**The CyNick** · 03-07-2004, 11:52 PM

Have we disucced this before?

Anyway, I agree with what "The Show Off" said about the Rumble winner being in the last match. I think since there are two title now, they need to keep that stip in place so that there is more than just a title shot on the line.

If it were up to me, I would go against that and put Angle-Guerrero in the top spot for two reasons;#1 Its the real WWE title, and I think, especially on this show, that title should be in the top spot. #2 Eddie is the hottest guy in the WWE right now, and they should run with that. And as a thrid reason which I just thought about now, more people watch Smackdown, so more people would see this title match as being more important.

I can see why they would go with either Brock or Taker's match, but with no titles on the line there, I dont think either of those matches should headline.

Foley-Rock deal could go last because that match has the biggest star in it, but I dont think there is a logical reason to put them last.

I always thought that the reason Hunter didn't go on last at Mania in Seattle because he was looking at this year's show as being a bigger deal. I could be giving him more credit than he deserves, but I really think he figured 'okay I'll take a backseat on this show, and then at Mania XX I can say its my turn to headline'. I also figured he's smart enough to realize that it would be a big statement to the boys and management if he were to JOB (especially to a guy like Benoit) on the biggest stage of all time. So I think for Hunter, he just wants the spot, he doesn't so much care about the outcome because ultimately he knows he'll get the title back whenever he wants it. And if he were to demand to retain the title, its a lot less likely that he could convince Vince to let him go over (since Vince rarely puts heels over in the last match at Mania).

I think Benoit winning his first WWE World Title is a good enough story to finish Mania with, and I think they have the right crowd to do it with, but at the same time I dont think its the biggest match on the show nor does it have anyone who I would consider really over with the fans.

More people watch smackdown than raw?

ah no, Raw is live remember and most people read the Smackdown spoilers off the internet.

anyway I think that HHH/Benoit/HBK should be the last match since Benoit won the Royal Rumble

yes, a lot more, like more than 1 million viewers per week.

**Corkscrewed** · 03-08-2004, 12:34 AM

Winner of RR gets the main event. It should be the Triple Threat. I'd also settle for Angle vs Eddie.

**Corndad** · 03-08-2004, 03:23 PM

I guess I never really did give my opinion,

I would say Kurt/Eddie should be last due to the fact it IS THE WWE TITLE at stake. I feel though the triple threat will be last

**The Show Off** · 03-08-2004, 03:36 PM

Okay, I guess I had a flaw in my orignal post so I'm going to have to explain myself... Since Wrestlemania XI, XIII, and XV didn't go with the whole Royal Rumble winner. So I'll change my statment to this... The Winner of the Royal Rumble goes to the main event at Wrestlemania if Wrestlemania is in an even number year...

**Savio** · 03-08-2004, 03:38 PM

Play boy tag team.

**RGWhat316** · 03-08-2004, 04:40 PM

Probably the triple threat will be last cus HHH is in it. We all remember Wrestlemania X-8 shouldve probably had Hogan/Rock as the main event, but it was HHH/Jericho.

**Xero** · 03-08-2004, 06:37 PM

There must be a world title on the line in the main event, its tradition (Im not counting WM1)... So we're down to The triple treat and Eddie/Kurt... Although the Eddie/Kurt match would be a better choice for the main event, there are two factors that come into play... #1, now this is only an assumtion, and its only fair, that WWE alternate between both titles every year... Like last year was the WWE title, so this year it should be the World Heavyweight, then next year will be the WWE title, and so on... # 2 is that, in the eyes of Vince atleast, the triple threat is the bigger caliber match... So I say the Triple Threat...

#3 HHH is in it

**Innovator** · 03-08-2004, 07:12 PM

The World Title match will be the main event because Benoit won the Rumble, and because Benoit ****ing deserves it.

03-08-2004, 07:14 PM

I've said it once and I'll say it again. If Benoit's going over, his match goes last. And then they could do the thing CyNick said and have Guerrero come out and they hug. If Benoit isn't going over, then Guerrero/Angle should go last.

03-08-2004, 07:18 PM

and if they end the show with HHH's music playing, I've lost all hope.

**Corndad** · 03-13-2004, 10:27 PM

wanted to bump this for the Day of Wrestlemania, see if any other opinions

**HHHsucks929** · 03-13-2004, 10:33 PM

Tomorrow night could be the most euphoric night, or the darkest night, in WWE history. Just picture Triple H winning...... The question is out of Shawn Michaels and Triple H, who would want to do the job to Chris Benoit? I really micht give up on wrestling THIS TIME. I know I say it almost every month, "if Triple H wins I'm not watching wrestling anymore". Well if Triple H walks out of Wrestlemania XX with the title, I walk out on WWE.

03-13-2004, 11:15 PM

If it were Benoit/HHH alone, I'd say them, but since it's Triple Threat, let Eddie and Kurt headline.
