The Savior of the Disappointing Wrestlemania 25
HBK getting the best of Taker weeks before Wrestlemania 25
We have come to love a time every year in wrestling when the biggest show of the year comes at the end of March or early April. Wrestlemania. From the time I was a kid, it was the one pay-per-view I came to love and always want to purchase, albeit it was my parents money I wanted to use. this year was the first I ordered in quite sometime expecting one of the most entertaining shows of the year. As I watched the “Pre Game” show, if you will, I was taken aback to a time when the event was the greatest thing on Earth.
Hogan vs Andre the Giant. Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior. Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart. The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock vs Hogan. The Undertaker vs everyone. I mean these were epic names and I KNOW I missed plenty. Then we get the matches, from the first ever ladder match to the Iron Man match. Every year there was something new, something to draw the viewers into the millions, and in this year, I was going to be a part of the 25th anniversary of the spectacle.
