I was there in Toronto that night. A few notes: 1. The Sunday Night Heat match was Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hottie and Albert vs. Mr. Perfect, Lance Storm and Test. This is the first and only time I ever saw Curt Hennig perform live. 2. The video of the Hogan-Rock match doesn't do the crowd justice. To this day, it's the loudest I've ever heard a crowd in a match from beginning to end. It was that perfect storm - it was a great match and great atmosphere. One of my favorite live matches in my 40 years of going to shows. 3. To this day, I don't understand why they didn't have Trish go over in Toronto. If they wanted to try and revive the crowd after that epic Hogan-Rock match, that would've been the way to do it. 4. As loud as the crowd was during Hogan-Rock, we were absolutely spent for Triple H-Jericho. It wasn't a horrible match, but it was a really bad decision to put them on last. I was debating leaving before this, but I had never seen a World title change hands live, so I decided to stay. Add to that the horrible angle with Jericho being Steph's bitch and treated as a complete afterthought - DESPITE BEING THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION - the crowd just didn't care. As I said to my buddy at the time, "It was like watching porn after having an orgasm."

And it wasn't like they haven't had WWE title matches in the middle of the show before (WM8; SummerSlam 92; King of the Ring 93 immediately come to mind) so that's not a justification.

Rock vs Hogan is a perfect example of what pro wrestling is and why it's popular. You could take literally any match that has gotten a 5 star rating or higher and it would have suffered the same fate as Triple H vs Jericho. Overall this is probably my favorite WrestleMania because of all that happened. All the titles were defended, DDP and the nWo were on the card for the first and only time, Ric Flair vs Undertaker was amazing and was the start of the streak, it just really clicked for me even though in retrospect there's some things I would change (Hogan vs. Rock should have ended the PPV, Austin should have been champ defending against Triple H, Jericho should have fought Angle, Kane should have been part of Booker T vs Edge).

Because not only was it really the true end of the Attitude Era knowing that a couple months later, they went from WWF to WWE and the Ruthless Aggression Era began but also it felt like the end of the Monday Night War (spiritually speaking after the end of WCW in 2001) since the nWo came to the WWE after The Alliance fell. Then Hulk Hogan turned face again and ended the nWo. Also, you gotta love Drowning Pool and Saliva as the theme songs at this Mania.

JR has yelled "BAH GAWD" at the top of his lungs enough to be on loop in my brain, but none of them compare to him just muttering "Oh, my God" in genuine astonishment at Hogan Hulking up for the first time in forever

I agree so much about the flair vs taker match, it's great. It's so 80s NWA in 2002 WWE. Also Flair's hair in 2002 was his second best hair after the 80s locks

I remember when Dave from Drowning Pool died. I was 8 years old, and when my mom told me about it, my response was "but he was just at Wrestlemania"... very sad memory, and one of my first shocking celebrity death experiences

I will never forgive this show, not because of the show itself, but that the GameCube game of the same moniker wasn't half as good as the last WWF game on a Nintendo console (No Mercy). I was daydreaming about that game and it was probably the biggest disappointment in gaming for me personally.

That game is interesting because it came out after they lost the WWF name so it really is WWE WrestleMania X-8 and I believe it also has two covers because Austin was on the initial one but then he walked out of the company

Hey Brian 🙂 I was at the show where the lead singer of Drowning pool passed away. It was at a Ozzfest show in Virginia. He passed in his tour bus. Drowning pool was supposed to come on stage before Rob Zombie, but due to lead singer passing, Zombie played his set early.
@zlinedavid
5 ай бұрын
I bet Rob played a longer set than normal too. Met him way back in the late 90s in a gas station outside of Indianapolis. This was back before camera phones and I didn’t have anything worth signing, but he shot the sh*t with me and the buddy I was driving with for 5-10 mins. Good dude, and a hell of a performer.

This is my favorite Wrestlemania of all time, I don't know exactly why and I can't pin down the reason as to why, but what I can say is Rock vs Hogan, Kane vs Angle, and Taker vs Flair were the top three out of the show. I actually loved the set too, I loved the big giant X with the hanging lights, the LED monoliths going up and down. The two giant titantrons at the top. It's cool!

My parents were never going to shill out 50 bucks for a 3 hour tv program so i just turned the tv to that channel and belive it or not you could actually pretty much see everything fairly clearly even though its scrambled. That was awesome to hear that i wasnt the only one ❤
