| Re: A Troubling Precident? Orton/HHH was a shocker. Principally because Orton was actually carrying HHH and HHH buried him. So this year Taker/HBK stole the show so much because nothing else lived up to anything near it.
If we look back, yes everyone remembers HBK/Flair, but Edge/Taker is still remembered. The year before, it was Cena/HBK main event, but I can't remember that PPV having a stand out match. None did to me.
Wrestlemania 22, Cena/HHH main event, doesn't go over. The other was a joke of a Triple Threat between Rey/Orton/Angle, and Edge/Foley was good, but it was a bad PPV.
Wrestlemania 21-Orton/Taker and HBK/Angle stole the show. Batista/HHH gets remembered, but again its HHH, and JBL/Cena was almost a filler, unremarkable.
Wrestlemania 20-The World Title main event stole the show for me, my favourite WM main event, so its probably the first 1 id say the title match stole the show.
The problem is nearly all Mania title main events involve HHH. Therefore people can care less, especially when he buries a credible opponent. |
