These.

I'd also add Savage winning the WWF title at WMIV and the aftermatch promos from Savage and Flair at WMVIII.

 

[Hunter Rider]

That gif!

I genuinely wanted to hear what the Rock had to say to Cena's promo on Monday. Cena was honest, broke character and spoke as an old wrestling fan and Rock just went into angry catch-phrase mode. How that furthered the feud is beyond me. Cena did all the work last night; as much as I hate to say that. Rock just threw water on himself a lot, paced around like a maniac, and invited us all to his new facebook group "Team Bring It".

I agree, I don't think has ruined everything but I was hoping to hear more from Rocky than what we got, I wanted to her something that felt as raw and true as Cena's promo did.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Such an iconic moment.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Damn....looking at that picture of Eddie and Benoit is a bit somber, after what Benoit did. Boy, that was the Summer of Hell no doubt and I don't even mean from a storyline standpoint. But for the WWE to survive the Summer of Hell 2007 is a testament to their longevity. I honestly think that "Summer of Hell 2007" played a significant role in why the WWE is TV PG nowadays. I might be the only one, but I think if there wasn't the "Summer of Hell 2007" the WWE would still be TV 14.

Again though, I might be the only one who feels that way. If I am the only one than so be it.

The ending to the Shawn Michals/Ric FLair match was sad, but fitting, IMO. Defenitely a great moment.


Another one I'd like to add is the ending to Wrestlemania XV with Austin beating the Rock for the World Wrestling Federation championship.

Jeff Hardy swanton Bomb off of Ladder onto Bubbah-Ray Dudley at Wrestlemania 2000 is another one that stands out to me.

Edge spearing Jeff Hardy from a 20 foot ladder at Wrestlemania X-Seven.

Undertaker diving over the top rope and through a table during his fight with Kane at Wrestlemania XIV.

 

[venom892]

It makes me sad seeing those images because I don't think we'll get a moment like these at WM27.Here's hoping I'm proven wrong.

 

[Kaleb]

We proberbly will but it would seem forced (ie Austin and Randy sharing a beer together in the ring while Punk is out cold,or Cena and Rock finally shaking hands or Rock raising Cena's hand in victory to close off the show)

 

[Hellion]

Luna really was one of those women wrestlers that was underrated. She was a good wrestler and had a good character. I was always a fan.

Bam Bam and Luna (still think Sable and Luna is the best women's/diva's feud...or maybe tied with Jacqueline and Sable's...both had so many great moments)...

Still deciding whether to get Wrestlemania or not.........and I'm still catching up on the last few years...the fan in me wants to get it, but also tells me your setting yourself up for disappointment

 

[Hotwire]

This is a great example of a big guy wearing proper ring attire. Someone please show this to Brodus and Husky. As much as I dislike the manties, there really should be some rules on who gets to wear them. If you're in good shape, fine. If you look like someone who scares the s*** out of the cook at the buffet, put on some pants and a shirt! This also goes for any guys with man-boobs! Yeah, I'm talking to you, Ric Flair!

 

[Hotwire]

I was going to mention The Kat flashing the audience as a favorite Wretlemania moment, until I realized that was at Armageddon. Oh well.

Funny story regarding that...
I was watching it with my hrother, who was 13 at the time. Well, when Kat flashed everyone, I was a bit stunned, he was silent. Then, when Mae stripped down and asked if anyone wanted to see her puppies, my bro just says, "Turn it.!"

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Can't hear you, too busy "bringing it"

What the hell is wrong with HHH

 

[Nemi]

What the hell is wrong with HHH

He's resisting the urge to break out the shovel since she is getting more media coverage.

 

[Metallo]

What the hell is wrong with HHH

He probably feels this intense urge to pedigree That Jersey warf rat Snookie..

 

[Heretic]

I could go back and edit my post and add (IMHO). It was ruined "for me". It was one of the few things I was looking forward to in WM and now the whole PPV is w/e.

Yes...Rock completely and utterly owned Cena week after week after week...and Cena finally got one over on him...and it was devastating...and he followed it by leaving him laying.

You would have preferred an angle where The Rock made Cena look stupid every week and Cena just took it like a moron and then Rock leaves so Cena can somehow try to regain his heat by feuding with guys he's already beaten???

This is how wrestling is...Cena now has all the heat leading to the PPV...and you have to pay to see if Rock gets his revenge. This is not a new concept by any stretch of the imagination.

He's thinking how good she'd look with a sledgehammer to her head....

- Trish Stratus is featured in a new interview with Diva-Dirt.com where she talks about WrestleMania 27, Tough Enough and more. Regarding working with Layla and Michelle McCool, she said:

"The opportunity came up to work with LayCool, which I’m so excited about. I mean they’ve done such great work, people love to hate them. As a fan, I’ve sat back and I’ve watched, especially Layla , watched them grow into great workers. They’ve put in the work to develop their characters."

- In regards to the WWE article on Abdullah the Butcher's Hall of Fame induction that was changed to say he never had dream matches with Hulk Hogan or Bret Hart, Abdullah did wrestle both men - Hogan in New Japan and Hart in Stampede Wrestling.

- In WWE's new DX DVD that comes out a few days after WrestleMania, there is a segment where Triple H and Shawn Michaels make fun of each other for losing to The Undertaker. Triple H noted that Taker always beat Shawn and when Shawn responded that Taker beat Triple H too, Triple H acted as if it's something he's tried to forget. While they don't mention WrestleMania in the conversation, the impression given is that they were talking about the match at WrestleMania 27, not their previous match.

- Steve Austin spoke with ESPN.com this week to promote the release of WWE All Stars. Here are some highlights:

So how perfect of a feud would "Stone Cold" versus CM Punk have been if you were still wrestling?

When you have a storyline like that, and the way CM cuts his promos, I think it would damn sure be entertaining and fans would latch onto it. He's done well in WWE, and I think he's got bigger fish to fry and bigger things to do in that company. I look for big things from him. And damn right, that would be a good program. I would love to be a part of that.

Wrestlemania is coming up this Sunday and you're refereeing the match between Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. How did it feel the other night to dump all that beer over Cole's head?

Damn, that was fun. [laughs] Michael Cole has done a tremendous job playing the role of the heel announcer. He has that cocky swagger about him, and he's crossed that line to where now you're seeing the true Michael Cole. He's a good guy, but he's really turning it on. I've been really proud of what he's done from a work standpoint. Then you have Jerry Lawler, who is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. If you never saw him work in his prime or never saw some of his work in the Mid South, then you really missed out. He's a great talker, a great worker in the ring, and there's no better person to be in this match with Cole than Lawler. Then you have me as the referee and Jack Swagger roaming ringside and I think anything can happen that night.

When you're pouring beer on Michael Cole and the crowd is going crazy and people start to chant: "One more match," do you ever get the itch to come back for maybe one more main event?

I'll tell you what, sometimes you do, but it's just like an itch that you scratch and it goes away. We had that ring at Tough Enough, and it's the same WWE ring they use every week, and I got the chance to bounce around and take some bumps from one of the kids in the contest and gave him a few bumps. Could I still do it? Damn right I could. It may not be quite as good as I used to, but I got it out of my system. I hope people enjoy Tough Enough because I had so much fun doing it, but that's about as close as I want to be to a business that I love.

The other big storyline in WWE right now is the return of The Rock. What did you think of him getting physical with Miz and Cena on Monday night?

I thought it was great entertainment. It's good for Rock, it's good for John, it's good for Miz, and it's good for the fans. Everybody is winning all the way around. He got out of the business and went on to do what he's done and I'm proud of how successful he has become. But now that he's back, it's a win-win for everybody, but especially the fans. Whether you love him or you hate him, depending on what your opinion of Cena is, he's definitely made an impact and it will be interesting to see how this thing plays out.

- I'm going to try and soften my stance on the Miz just a hair, I wasn't a fan of John Morrison at the start either and it usually takes one really good feud to get me behind them....soooo maybe that might happen this year...Ziggler can still die in a fire

- I was on the Rocks side till he started on that "Team Bring It" crap......hey Rock....the Twilight franchise called, they want their "viral marketing" back

I finally got my copy of Jericho's book UNDISPUTED... It's a must read , just so funny and honest ..
