Wreslemania 16

Will the "most Dysfunctional Family on TV"overshadow the biggest main event in wrestlemania history ?

I saw the tape and I knew I had to see this. I already possesed some older tapes of Wrestlemania ,but this was almost the latest paperview event (now being : 6 June 2000) and I could finally see the superstars in action.

It began with the Godfather & Dlo Brown vs. Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan. The Godfather came to the ring together with Dlo Brown , Ice T and a fine group of Ho's. With flashy clothes and cool music they got the crowd on there feet. The team of BBM and Bull (who looked awesome and very mean) weren't really impresed by all the entourage and showed they ment bussines. A legdrop from the top rope took Dlo Brown down for the three-count. After the match they chased the ho's to the locker rooms.

Match Rating (out of 10) : 6 ,the entrance of the Godfather was cool.

 

Next up was the 13 man Hardcore Battle Royal . You just knew mayem was included. First to the ring was Tazz ,a wrestler I didn't really saw before. His entrance was very cool and I tought he was pretty Hardcore. He was folowed by twelve other wrestlers including the "champ" Crash Holly. The title switched hands several times but it was Hardcore Holy who came out victorious.

 

Match Rating (out of 10) : 4 ,too many wrestlers for cool Hardcore and Tazz should have won .

T&A with Trish Stratus vs. Al Snow & Steve Blackman. A pretty fun match and "lets go Head Cheese". Test and Albert won the match. I developed a little hate against the team of Al Snow and Blackman after they kicked the cheeseguys butt.

Match Rating : 6,5 , Trish ,the Cheese and the cool finishingmove of Blackman and Snow .

Cat Fight : The Kat vs. Terri with special referee Val Venis .I can best describe this match only one way: Thank GOD for women and Strings (or Thongs) !!!!! The match sucked but whe saw enough to compensate that !!

Match Rating : 6 ,would have been higher ,but I'm probably the only person who hates Val Venis .

 

In my opinion the best match ever: Triangle Ladder Match for the Tag Team Championship : Dudley Boys vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian. I must say that all three teams contain superb atheletes. I saw HIGH highriskmanouvres and held my breath with every jump. Its now my favourite match and left the Iron man Match (Bret vs Shawn) far behind it. The Dudleys are crazy Buh Buh Ray is one sick puppy !! Matt Hardy (or Jeff) defied the laws of gravity with the moonsault from the ladder. In the end Edge and Christian won the titles but the Hardys and Dudleys deserved more than a only standing ovation !!!

Match Rating : 9,9 ,spectacular ,awesome and would have been a 10,if Kane was in it .Or if the Hardy Boyz won the match.

Next came the Two-Fall Triple-Threat Match. Kurt Angel vs. Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho . The match saw some cool action and Angel lost both his titles (intercontinental and european). Benoit and Jericho both captured one of the belts.

Match Rating :7 ,cool moves and I like Jericho (there's a little Jerichoholic in everybody)

Now it was time to dance and for "latino heat". Too Cool and Chyna combined forces against three of the four R4dicalz : Guerrero, Saturn and Malenko. The entrance of Too Cool was superb !! Them guys be dancing !!! Chyna and her partners got the win over the Radicalz after a powerbomb on Eddy Guerrero.

Match Rating : 7 ,again pretty cool moves (Chyna is pretty flexible) and Too Cool is way TOO COOL !!!

Finaly ,my favourite wrestler was on ,Kane had to face X-pac and Road Dogg. He found a partner in Rikishi. The team of Degenerates quikly found themselves on the receiving end of the brute strenght and the Road Dogg got a Stinkface !!! The match was over in an instant after a tombstone from Kane. Tori also saw the better end of Rikishi and was followed by the foolish Pete Rose who again tried to attack Kane !!

Match Rating: 6,8 ,the match sucked ,Too Cool and Rikishi dancing oh yeah and the other six points go to KANE !!!

The Main Event was next.

Mike Foley in his last match , "Big Show" Paul Wight , the Rock and the champion HHH. Paul dominated the match in the beginning. He Gorrila-slamed everybody ,but later found himself at the receiving end of great teamwork between the other three competitors. A "Rockbottom"was enough to put the Big Show out of the match. Three men were left. At first it was Mick and the Rock kicking HHH around the ring ,but soon again it was every man for himself. After two pedigrees (the final one on the steel chair) Mick was down for his last three seconds in the match and left with a standing ovation from the fans.

Now only the Rock and HHH remained. After a long hard battle ,the Rock got screwed by Vince McMahon and got hit in the face with a steel chair !! After a heroic kick-out ,the boss laid another one on his head and that took away the last ounce of power out of the Rock. Tough HHH would remain the Champion and the McMahon family was reunited ,the Rock got the last laugh as they felt the wrath of the Rockbottom.

Match Rating : 8 ,outstanding preformance of HHH and the Rock. The departure of Foley was beautifull and I was happy that the big oaf , Paul Wight lost. The only thing I didn't liked was the constant interference of the McMahons
