Here's quick imput on the list.

10) Dont know it. Two great wrestlers though.
9) One hell of a match for its time. A passing of the torch. If only Hogan had allowed himself to fade into the background instead of using his political powers to keep himself on top.
8) Start of the Attitude era. Tyson was HOT property then. Real mainstream cred.
7) The start of it all. No idea about the match.
6) Hart and Austin had a great fued. Another passing of the torch. Least this time Hart went away. Did Shamrock need to be there?
5) Hogan is a wasted old man. Grrr!
4) Steamboat is a legend and I just love Savage! No ideas on the match.
3) One hell of a match!!!
2) Another in the TLC series. Good matches but got old fast. Too many high spots, not enough pschology.
1) Now this was a fued! Hart and HBK HATED each other. Well deserved number 1.

Of the others that I thought should be number 1 are No 9, No 3 (except that iot was just for the IC title) and No 8 (Shawn Michaels is the Show-stopper afteral!)

So who else knows there wrestling???

I'm sorry. I'm not sure I'm reading this correctly! HHH actually jobbing for someone who isnt HBK or Kevin Nash. I just cant comprehend such a thing.

At last Chris Benoit getting the opurtunity he should of had for years now.

I found it pretty ironic that 2 former ECW wrestlers happen to be the new WWE champions.

As for as the Top 10 list, I agree with the #1 choice since it was probably the most contraversial match in WWF's history.

 

[niceguy2002tim]

ECW?

ECW or WCW?
I never watched any of the ECW shows but I am a little familar with it. I don't recall Benoit or Eddie Gurerro being in Extreme Championship Wrestling. I know they were both on the WCW rooster. And it is kind of weird that the two WWE champs were previous WCW guys.

What did everybody think of Wrestlemania XX? I thought it was so/so. Not the show it should have been but not bad either.

Nope, the pair of them are former ECW guys. Pretty much anyone who couldnt get a WWF or WCW went to ECW. Mick Foley, The Dudley boys, Rob Van Damn, Rhyno, Tommy Dreamer, Lance Storm, Justin Credible, Mike Awesome, Jerry Lynn and many other can from ECW to the WWE.

Not really watched WWE in quite some time. I stopped watching around the WCW merger. Don't think I've seen many of the above mentioned matches.

Although not a Wrestlemania event (I think at least) the Hell in a cell Undertaker vs Mick Foley was one of the most impressive I've even seen.

 

[niceguy2002tim]

Hell in a Cell.

I have to agree!
the hell in a cell matches are usually great. Mick Foley and the Undertaker went to hell and back. I also remember the HIAC match with HHH and Foley. That was also a great match... I believe it was the one that was suppose to "retire" Foley forever from the WWE. Which of course didn't stick because he came back and had his match at Wrestlemania XX.

Right now wrestling is struggling a lot. Smackdown ratings have been low for a while and Raw isn't much higher. This past monday a few superstars were traded from Raw to Smackdown and vice versa. It should make things more interesting.
