So are you buying Wrestlemania 18?

I have seen the trailers on Directv all morning. Is it me or does this seem not all that important? Rock v Hogan, Austin v. Hall? Seems like an expensive Raw episode to me. You're not getting my money today, Vince!

This is the first Wrestlemania in 18 years that I'm not getting. I may download it and watch it but probably not. It certainly will be the "Showcase of the Immortals" considering all the geriatrics wrestling tonight.

Well, I'm glad I didn't order it. Read the match reviews shortly after they were happening. Nothing spectacular, other than match lengths and what not. The PPV's have really gone downhill, haven't they?

you missed out

I was at Wrestlemania this weekend and its one of the greatest things i've ever experienced. The Hogan Rock match was probably one of the greatest matches in a long time. The crwod was hot and it was unbelievable. The WWF is heating up again and I would highly suggest y'all jump back on the bandwagon before it leaves with out!

I have never been off the "bandwagon" and I have tickets for RAW, April 8th here in Phoenix.

Judging from the stills I've seen on-line, at best this PPV is a renter when it comes out at Blockbuster.

I watched the PPV and it wasn't too bad. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't excellent but it was entertaining. The Rock vs. Hogan match made the night though. The crowd reaction was something else.

The Rock vs. Hogan match was fun, but I certainly wouldn't consider it wrestling. It's really pathetic that they try to pass that off as a "match." But everything surrounding the event was cool. Crowd reaction was intense, and the ultimate result was pretty good.

it wasn't supposed to be Steamboat/Savage II. it was supposed to tell & story & that's what they did, one of the more enjoyable matches in a long time, I'm usually not a mark but the Hogan match & the next night on Raw had me off of my couch cheering

& I hated Hogan not too long ago, but he fianlly put someone over

Hey, I was perfectly entertained (much more than I've been in a LOOOOONG time) ... but it was still a pathetic display of athleticism. Hogan never had any moves in his prime, so it's a pretty sad to watch him now. I applaud them for doing a great job with what they had, and you're right ... this is the first good moment for the Hulkster in quite a while.
