It seems that many have forgotten\u00a0<\/span><\/span>about\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Wrestlemania<\/span><\/span>\u00a019, or that it doesn’t seem to rank very high on people’s lists. The card was stacked from top to bottom, HBK Vs Y2J, Rock Vs Stone Cold, McMahon Vs Hogan and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Lesnar<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Vs Angle bolstered what was to me a very entertaining evening. Each match had a solid build as Mania approached, every contest had a reason to happen. Shawn & Jericho met in a match built on\u00a0<\/span><\/span>personal<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>competitiveness<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and jealousy, it was played out\u00a0<\/span><\/span>beautifu<\/span><\/span>lly<\/span><\/span>\u00a0on screen, the young lion trying to topple the grizzly veteran. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Rock and Stone Cold met for the very last time in a match that defined a generation, it would also sadly be the last time we saw Steve\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Austin<\/span><\/span>\u00a0compete inside the squared circle for WWE. The match built to a fitting conclusion, the battle weary Stone Cold finally gave in to the most\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Electrifying<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Man in sports entertainment. Hogan and Vince was a battle for the ages, since 1985 this epic feud had been boiling away and as always Vince did what was best for business. The Street Fight was a fitting end to their troubled history on and off screen, like always Vince gave it everything and Hogan performed like a true superstar. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brock\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Lesnar<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and Kurt Angle met in what many saw as a dream match, the two amateur pro’s going one on one made sense, their match although a little\u00a0<\/span><\/span>anticlimactic<\/span><\/span>\u00a0ticked a lot of boxes. Laughably what most people do remember is Brock\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Lesnar’s<\/span><\/span>\u00a0terrifying Shooting Star Press which nearly paralysed him, however the event is one of my personal favourites and featured some truly memorable moments for a generation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
