      Booker T was my favorite WCW wrestler(Because Harlem Heat were my favorites). I also liked Chris Benoit- but we all know how that turned out.
      Basically, Booker T losing was just ANOTHER bury of anyone with any success in WCW. Watching HHH beat every WCW favorite over the next few years just got really old.
      Watching PPV main events over, and over, seeing HHH constantly winning; as a heel. Eventually it was "Come on already, ffs" Must we keep watching this burial? Who did HHH finally job for? John freaking Cena- a WWE homemade talent who was boo'd from day one.
      HHH beating Booker T is the most obvious burial was frustrating, and spelled the beginning of then end to WWE ratings. They've been only going down since then.

      @NigelWatersFWA 6 років тому +10

      No. Booker sucked and was grossly overrated. A mid card guy who got pushed in WCW because they had nobody better at the time. He was in no way shape or form on Triple H's level and him winning at WM would have hurt more than it helped WWE at the time. Only decent stuff he's ever done was as comedic foil for bigger stars like The Rock or Austin.

    • @TheBraunMachine2011
      @TheBraunMachine2011 6 років тому +79

      Honestly Book not going over is the only thing that keeps this PPV from being a perfect one. It's crazy just how many WCW guys HHH has beaten Sting, Steiner, Hogan, Goldberg, Nash etc. And honestly Kane also should've won at No Mercy 2002. The only guy HHH put over at that time was HBK. And it's ironic that back in the day Rock got Goldberg to come to WWE because he wanted to put him over, he was successful and he wanted to get Sting in WWE to put him over at WM21, Sting declined because he thought Rock/WWE buried Booker during the Invasion, so Sting ends up working with HHH, the guy who actually did bury Booker and ends up jobbing to him. wow lol. If he fought Rock, I'm sure Rock would've put him over no questions asked lol. Rock was never really a backstage politics guy like HHH, HBK, Hogan, were, the story of him choosing to put over Brock cleanly at SS2002 is well known and why he and Brock are still very close friends. There's a clip online of Rock surprising Brock backstage and they hug and share a laugh.

But now,l instantly you mentioned sentimental value and I get it. WM17 was in my hometown, I wasn’t there and didn’t see it until some time later but it is still nice to have your city represented both on the card and in the crowd. I enjoy the nostalgic appeal of your reviews because watching wrestling PPVs is very time consuming and it is great that everyone has their favorite events.

  • @TheBraunMachine2011
    @TheBraunMachine2011 6 років тому +31

    What I remember most about this WM was this:
    3 Leg Drops take out Vince
    3 Rock Bottoms take out Austin
    3 F5s take out Angle
    and only 1 Pedigree takes out Booker T.
    Booker should've won that match, he was over af and it would've made sense storyline wise to prove HHH wrong about "guys like him." Hollywood Rock (as a heel) applauded Booker on the ramp after he eliminated Rock in that #1 Contenders Battle Royal, that was more to put over Book than anything HHH did that entire feud. HHH even belittled the WCW title and it's significance standing next to Ric Flair himself. It shows the difference of Rock & HHH there as well. Rock put over Hurricane, Brock, Goldberg and they got clean pins on him. HHH beat RVD, Kane, Steiner, Booker and Goldberg (in their first match together at SS). Fans hated that era of HHH lol. What's funny is that Rock brought in Goldberg to put him over, he was successful, he also wanted to do the same with Sting back during WM21 but Sting wasn't a fan of how WWE used the WCW talent during the Invasion because he saw Rock ask who in the blue hell Booker was, so he wanted no part of WWE.
    (He thought Rock & WWE were burying Book but in truth, Rock asked that question to everyone, he even did that with the newly bald Kurt Angle & Mark Lloyd on SD lol. The Rock/Booker thing wasn't a REAL burial like what Taker did with DDP "Who in the hell is Diamond Dallas Page?" & "You're not famous because you suck!" Book got the better of Rock more than a few times in that feud, more than what the ONE time DDP did on Taker.) Always found it interesting that when Sting finally does decide to debut in WWE, he ends up working with the guy that actually DID bury Booker (HHH) & he also jobs to him lol. That's why I was always perplexed why Punk, Orton, Cena talked about Rock like they did. Rock didn't play politics. Do you think Austin, Cena, HBK, Hogan or HHH would put over The Hurricane, of all people, as cleanly like Rock did? Or have the idea for Brock or Goldberg to beat them cleanly like Rock did? (Austin lost the WWE Title to Kane only to win it back the next night on Raw, Cena beat a returning Brock, Cena ended Umaga's red hot undefeated streak with a roll up. And Austin left because he was supposed to lose to a heel Coach, they replaced him with Batista, who won.) Brock said Rock looked out for him on SD, they're still friends to this day, there's a video with Rock surprising Brock backstage and they hugged. You're not gonna see Brock do that with HHH lol. Says alot about The Rock as a person backstage in WWE and why no one outside of Kliq members or Orton, Punk and Cena had anything bad to say about him backstage.

Sting should have never jobbed to him and that whole feud itself felt like Triple H was pulling a Hogan bring a guy in for a match (The Ultimate Warrior) only to have him job clean to you for no reason other than to stroke your inflated ego.

    2) Triple H going over Booker T in "that way" (edges out Hogan because of the race based feud ending wrongly)
    And 1) making it 7 hrs long so by the time the main event happens, the crowd is tired and doesnt give a shit.
    Honorable mention: Reigns main eventing 4 manias in a row (we'll see about 5), simply for the transparency of it all.

    Edit: If you are wondering how I attended for free? Someone had bought a ticket for another person and that person then backed out of the ticket. So the guy had a ticket that he didn't need and was nice enough to bring me along and give me the ticket. One of the best moments of my life going to that show. It was so neat to actually be at a WWE show. CM Punk came out and John Cena was there. I can't remember what year it was. So neat.

This was my first Mania live as well and my favorite of all time. The card was so stacked and had so many different era’s and told so many different stories and literally 5 different main events. I had been a wrestling fan for years and watched everything faithfully up until that point but after this show I felt completed like If I never watched wrestling after that show I would be ok because at that point I felt like a saw one of the best if not thee best Wrestlemania I could ever see in my lifetime. I don’t know it was just special I always wanted to go to a Wrestlemania and when this came to my hometown I couldn’t have asked for anything better it was like all the years watching led up to that moment and the Rock vs Austin match meant so much to me as well as hogan vs Vince it was like 2 great chapters properly being closed.

    Cricitized the Triple H's racism angle here and your video got blocked I see. You should be more like Prichard then lol.

    This took place in my hometown and I really wish I was old enough at the time to attend this show (I was 5) because man do I love this show. Easily my favorite WM of all time!

      Watch the John Oliver segment on WWE. Brings a lot of the darker sides of wrestling and how WWE handles it to light.

    honestly. the triple threat women's championship match is a bit underrated in my opinion cause the match isn't really talked about in the GREATEST WOMENS MATCHES by wwe it may not be the best match but i mean... come on the match is honestly pretty good and i vividly remember victoria's theme and the ambush and a few other moments from watching the show as a kid
