WrestleMania 34 would've had the best 1-2 starter matches if some rando in the crowd wasn't the focus of them instead. Event is largely really good moments or really bad moments.
The inconsequential US 4-Way was right after. What's an extra 15 minutes in prep time? Run out after Jinder's celebration, nobody cared about him. Or do it during one of the men's entrances. Or around them introducing the foreign commentary teams. Or during a quad down during the match. Or better yet, advertise the match properly and forget the stupid "Will They, Won't They" tension when it's obvious it WAS INDEED HAPPENING. No need to spoil Asuka and Char's moment and making them react like dweebs.
"V*nce's boy" does hit different now, but still an inane angle to further the Roman hype train.

WM20: Benoit vs HBK vs HHH. Absolutely outstanding match & a strong contender for best WM ME ever.
WM21: Batista vs HHH. Good stuff...HHH had his working boots on for Batistas coronation 👑
WM22: Cena vs HHH. Good match but at the time I wasn't a fan of either guy & wasn't too pushed on the outcome. A really well worked match though.

Yearly reminder that the ring/stage setup for the HOF is undignified and so ing tacky. Trips is a real ripe one. Dang the refs were wanting the women in the Battle Royale to wrap things up. Men's is disgusting, tag is insulting. Orton has had some Mania snoozers. The lights had more heat than his match against Styles.

Ricky Steamboat vs Ric Flair 5/14/94 WCW Saturday Night - Another classic from these two. I remember watching this live wanting Steamboat to win so badly. Just not to be since The Brain’s favorite wrestler was coming to take the strap soon.

Randy Savage vs Jerry Lawler - Cage match 1984 - Fun match while it lasted with an extremely hot crowd. Very crap ending with Lawler getting the win via DQ when Jos LeDuc interferes.

Absolute tripe from them. Watching paint dry terroritory I kinda feel bad for HHH/RKO having to follow Shawn and Taker. HHH had a history of underwhelming WM main events though.

Ken Patera vs Andre. This was after Andre got his hair cut by him and Studd. Real fun match watching Andre playing to the crowd and punishing Patera. Real natural reactions from the crowd, you just dont get that anymore.

They enormous amounts of time to build that story and it was hot going into WM. Then it was neutered by a ridiculous stip & if we are being honest here? Neither man showed up. Where was HHHs burning desire for revenge over his wife being assaulted and family being plagued? It certainly wasn't present in his performance BUT IMHO? Orton & HHH have zero chemistry...its like Orton and Cena...they just don't mix.
