Hello folks, The Billdozer is back and he's taking a break from the ramblings of the Iron Sheik Roast to give you his stream of consciousness on Wrestlemania 25...
We are just about one hour away from the yearly extravaganza that has left countless memories and timeless classics along the way. From Hogan to Savage...Hart to Michaels...Austin to the Rock...HHH to Cena...to the present day we may enter the evening with promises and hope that a single pay per view broadcast has troubling cashing.
What Wrestlemania does better than any show in wrestling history is give you a timeline of moments that you will remember forever. Whether you like it or not World Wrestling Entertainment is the keeper of pop wrestling's storied history.
Taking a moment and reflecting on "the showcase of the immortals" I believe the 25th edition of the big one delivered a few unforgettable moments.
You cannot argue that Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels delivered. Ask Triple H and Randy Orton. This is the second main event that Trips has been involved in that the crowd was burnt out on based on a match that could not be followed (the first is his bout vs. Jericho, as it had to follow Rock vs. Hogan). The Taker retained hold of perhaps wrestling's greatest stat, an undefeated string of victories that will probably never be duplicated. The man almost broke his neck with this classic. Shawn Michaels proved once again why he is called Mr. Wrestlemania. Everyone knew the Deadman was going to win, but Shawn made you think maybe, just maybe, the streak was coming to an end.
I will never forget Ricky Steamboat turning back the clock; this was his opportunity to remind the youthful WWE fans that he is one of the greatest performers the sport has ever seen. Credit goes to Chris Jericho as well. He provided a mug for Mickey Rourke to KO and I'm sure we will see that clip all over the place in the coming days.
CM Punk wins Money in the Bank and it reminds you that WWE had an entire year of shooting him to the top before failing once again to give us a primetime star to mix it up with the current establishment of main eventers. Here's hoping he's in the title picture for most of the year going forward.
On that note, I have taken up more time than you probably care to share, and I appreciate you taking the time to hear out my opinions. Good show, that had some stellar moments.
