Wrestlemania XI:"Double Main Event" send emails to the reviewer
theantichrist@activemail.co.uk



Card=Allied Powers beat Jacob & Eli Blu in a poor tag team encounter that
was only made watchable thanks to the crowd 3.5/10. The
Undertaker beat King Kong Bundy in a horrible match 1/10. (I Quit
Match)Bret Hart beat Bob Backlund in a shockingly dull match that
featured Roddy Piper as guest referee. 3/10-this should have stole the
show! (WWF Tag Titles)Owen Hart/Yokozuna beat Smoking Gunns in a boring
match 2/10. (I-C Title)Razor Ramon beat Jeff Jarrett by DQ in a good but
not great match that paled in comparison to their previous Rumble match
6.5/10.(WWF Title)Diesel beat Shawn Michaels in a good but ultimately
disappointing match. HBK expectadly carried this one but the match did have
a few dull moments and the crowd wasn't too enthusiastic about the match
either! 7.5/10-some interesting crowd reactiosn here too with babyface
Diesel getting booed while heel Shawn got cheered. (Special Challenge
Match)Lawrence Taylor beat Bam Bam Bigelow in a mess of a match that was
only made watchable by the crowd who
were well into it. How the hell did this match become the main event? What
idiot decided to put this match
on last? Who the hell thought that a match featuring a former NFL star was
more important than a WWF Title Match? This is definetly the worst
Wrestlemania main event of alltime, solely because it was put on last! I
mean, there have been worse main event matches at Wrestlemania than this
one, but the fact it was considered more important than the WWF Title match
is unforgivable! 2/10-Taylor deserves credit here cause he really did make
an effort, as did Bigelow but the match was simply a failed experiment.

Overall=Another candidate for worst Wrestlemania of alltime with no must
see matches and more than a few stinkers! Even the better matches of the
night(Razor/Jarrett, Shawn/Diesel) seemed to lack something! 2/10 Best
Match=Shawn/Diesel. Worst Match=Undertaker/Bundy.

My WM-XI Card=(WWF Title)Shawn vs Diesel vs Bret(since Bret &
Diesel went to a no contest at the 95 Rumble, Bret had a good argument to
be in
this match!). (WWF Tag
Titles)Bob Holly/1-2-3 Kid vs Heavenly Bodies(I'd have had Holly & Kid beat
Smoking Gunns before the PPV and have had the Bodies win the titles here,
like they should have a long time before!). (I-C Title/Ladder
Match)Jeff Jarrett vs Razor Ramon(it could have been a classic!). (Womens
Title)Alundra Blayze vs Bull Nakano(those two had a hell of a match the
night after Wrestlemania XI, why not have just had it at the PPV!) 2nd
Annual WWF/NFL
Battle Royal(featuring Lawrence Taylor, Bam Bam Bigelow, Lex Luger, Steve
Mcmichael and
others. This would have been a much better idea than a one on one match
since battle royals tend to be entertaining and it could have been a second
annual WWF/NFL Battle Royal. Plus Bigelow wouldn't lose the credibilty he
lost when he was pinned by Taylor, if he just got eliminated over the top
rope by him! I'd have Bigelow & Taylor the last two in the ring with LT
coming out on top) Undertaker vs The Entire Million $ Corporation(Ending
this stupid feud once and for all! Taker would win of course and Bam Bam
wouldn't be involved in
the match since i'd put him in the WWF/NFL Battle Royal). Owen Hart vs Davey
Boy Smith(they'd been involved in a family feud since Summerslam 94 and
everyone knows this match would have been a classic!).

Wrestlemania X:"Ten Years In The Making"

Card=Owen Hart beat Bret Hart in perhaps the greatest opening match in
Wrestling history, let alone Wrestlemania history! 10/10. Earthquake beat
Adam Bomb in a pointless match that lasted less than a minute 0/10. (Mixed
Tag Match)Bam Bam/Luna beat Doink/Dink in
a match that wasn't quite as bad as it should have been but it still was in
no way good! 2.5/10-Bam Bam did most of the work here. (Falls Count Anywhere
Match)Randy Savage
beat Crush in an average bout 4/10. (I-C Title)Razor Ramon beat Shawn
Michaels in a classic ladder match that has stood the test of time in
todays day and age of TLC matches 10/10 (WWF Tag Titles)M-O-M beat
Quebecers by countout in a shockingly OK match where the crowd and
Quebecers obviously carried it but i'll admit that Mo from M-O-M actually
looked half decent here. Mable sucked as usual, hitting the worst spinning
wheel kick i've ever seen! 4.5/10.(Womens Title)Alundra Blayze beat Lelani
Kai in a poor match, only worth seeing for the talented Blayze 1.5/10. (WWF
Title:Match 1)Yokozuna beat Lex Luger by DQ in a match riddled with
crowd killing moments including, former Boyband star Donnie Whalberg(NKOTB
anyone?) on
intro duties, Yoko applying boring rest holds for what seemed like forever
and a DQ ending that had the crowd loudly chanting BULLSHIT! 2/10 (WWF
Title:Match 2)Bret Hart beat Yokozuna in a poor Wrestlemania main event
that was at least better than their match last year(i:e it wasn't quite the
snorefest, nor did it feature Hulk Hogan stealing everyones heat at the
end!) 4/10-great ending though with Bret celebrating with all the faces
while jealous Owen just stared. (By the way, the 10 man tag match featuring
Tatanka/Smoking
Gunns/1-2-3 Kid & Bob Holly vs Jeff Jarrett/Headshrinkers/I.R.S & Rick
Martel, was cancelled for time reasons. It makes you wish they'd cancelled
the Womens Title or the pointless Quake/Bomb matches instead!)

Overall=Well, this was a big disappointment for the tenth anniversary
edition of Wrestlemania since it had a cluster of average matches, bad
booking leading to a match cancellation, several crowd killing
moments and a forgettable main event. However, theres no denying that the
opening match and the ladder match between will go down in the annuals as
two of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of alltime and it's thanks to them
that this
show gets 6/10-not the greatest score in the world but a damn lot better
than the debacle that was Wrestlemania IX! Best Match=A tie between
Bret/Owen & Razor/HBK. Worst Match=Earthquake/Bomb.

My WM-X Card=[WWF Title:Match 1]Yokozuna vs Lex Luger(Lex wins! I'd keep it
short too!) [WWF Title:Match 2]Lex Luger vs Bret Hart(Bret wins-Luger may
have been a
poor worker but in the past guys like Ric Flair, Sting, The Steiners and
even Danny Spivey proved Luger was carryable to a good match and against
someone as
great as Bret, Luger could have been carried to the best match of his
career!). [I-C Title/Ladder Match]Razor vs HBK. [WWF Tag Titles]Quebecer's
vs Steiners(why oh why did the Steiners get
demoted in 1994! These two teams had some good TV matches in 1993 and what
had M-O-M done to deserve a title shot?). (Womens Title)Alundra vs Luna(i'm
sure Alundra could have carried Luna to a watchable match). (Brother vs
Brother)Bret vs Owen. Bigelow vs Tatanka(they were still in a
fun on-off feud and i'd rather have seen them go at it again, than the
mixed tag match!). Savage vs Jarrett(could have been
a great match and a much needed boost for Jarrett's credentials). Diesel vs
1-2-3 Kid(could have been a
good old fashioned David vs
Goliath match and the sleeper hit of the night since Kliq members usually
had great matches with each other).
Marty Jannetty vs Rick Martel(another possible sleeper hit of the night
with two underrated veterans). Legends Battle Royal(Backlund wins, since he
was to get a little push in 1994)
