Will Wrestle Mania XX live up to the hype?

**Head** · 02-08-2004, 02:29 PM

I find it is almost impossible for somthing that is hyped as much as WMXX to live up to the hype.

I'm not gonna expect it to, so I won't be disappointed.

I do have hopes though.

It depends what people expect from the show.

Will it be the best WWE PPV of all time, lets say the current best in WM X-7 or maybe CDN Stampede, then I would say knowing what is currently planned, there is enough there to make it a better show than those shows. But, while we kinda knwo the card, we dont know how much time matches will get, and of course we dont know how people will perform on that night.

I dont know exactly what they are planning to do with the Legends, I mean I know they are doing a Hall of Fame deal, but I'm not sure whats going on for the actual show. So, maybe if they do a little ceremony with all the past legends it would give the show that extra special feel. Then if they end up convincing say Bruno and Bret to appear, that would be an awesome deal to see those guys back in a WWE ring.

Then there is the current stars, and how the booking goes. If Benoit wins, that will be very special. If Undertaker is kept off TV until Mania, how big will the pop be for his entrance? How will the fans deal with Goldberg, and what will be the reaction be when he gets F-5'd by Brock? How good will Eddie and Kurt be, and is there a better person to walk out with the real WWE title than Kurt or Eddie? Will HBK put on another top notch performance? What about seeing Mick Foley wrestle for the first time in 4 years, and seeing The Rock make a special appearance? How will the new kids on the block (orton and Cena) get treated by the audience, will this be breakthorugh performances for them? Lots of special things could happen on March 14th.

I guess the problem with the hype is that it pretty much has to be the best show of all time in order to 'live up to the hype'. Thats always a tough thing to go into show with, but this show 'could' actually live up to the hype.

Very well put, CyNick. As always, you are right.
