The top 4 matches are part timers. Rock, Lesnar, HHH, Undertaker, and Jericho

The Miz beat Barrett in the pre-show match for the IC title

I'm following online

so does this count as the IC title being on the line at WM finally, or does this still mean the last time was Steamboat/Macho at WM3?

DewieCox

HHH might have to retire either way. Lesnar awful at protecting his opponents and himself.

what about the Ladder match between HBK and Razor Ramon at Wrestlemania X?

Ernie Vedder

Triple h wins

so i'm guessing the team scholars/bella twins vs tons of funk and the funkadactyls match got nixed

Too many promos of the Rock/Cena match. And too much Puffy

I know, I kid, I kid. I was just making light of the absurdity of WWE all but ignoring the IC belt at Wrestlemania for what seems like an eternity. it is rarely defended at WM, and it used to be such a prominent title.

Hugh Freaking Dillon

Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania (title changes in BOLD)
WM 1 – Junkyard Dog beat Champ Greg Valentine by count out
WM 2 – Randy Savage beat George Steele
WM 3 – Ricky Steamboat beat Randy Savage
WM 4 – Brutus Beefcake beat Champ The Honky Tonk Man by DQ
WM 5 – Rick Rude beat The Ultimate Warrior
WM 6 – The Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan
WM 7 – The Big Bossman beat Champ Curt Hennig by DQ
WM 8 - Bret Hart beat Roddy Piper
WM 9 – Tatanka beat Champ Shawn Michaels by DQ
WM 10 – Razor Ramon beat Shawn Michaels in a ladder match
WM 11 – Razor Ramon beat Champ Jeff Jarrett by DQ
WM 13 – The Rock beat The Sultan
WM 14 – The Rock beat Ken Shamrock by DQ
WM 15 – Jesse James beat Val Venis, Goldust, & Ken Shamrock
WM 16 – Chris Benoit beat Champ Kurt Angle & Chris Jericho
WM 17 – Chris Jericho beat William Regal
WM 18 – Rob Van Dam beat William Regal
WM 25 - Rey Mysterio beat JBL
WM 28 - Big Show beat Cody Rhodes

seriously, SEVEN years between 18 and 25, then another THREE years after that where it wasn't defended, and this year it's on the PRESHOW? that's just silly.

I miss the Legion of Doom. remember Tugboat and Earthquake?

I thought it was overall decent.

I havent watched in a long while. When I did, I actually was never a huge fan of Wrestlemanias. Main event too often is just the 2 biggest names and a straight up match/celebration of the "sport" which takes place in the middle of the ring for 45 minutes.

Thought the 2 main undercards were entertaining.

But the reason I stopped watching overall, was how it became very repetitive and predictable. Watching this proved that it is still the same.
You just new the Big Show, etc team would lose to put that other team over. You new Fandango was winning v Jericho to put him over, you new Undertaker was winning, and you knew Cena was going to win the title so the Rock can go make his stupid movies. Wasnt sure on HHH. Knew he wasnt going to retire. Just didnt know if he would lose, then keep finding ways to come back like Foley did when he kept 'retiring'

I went. I probably spent way too much on a ticket but nonetheless I enjoyed the show immensely even if some of the matches caused us to chant "We Want Wrestling" and "This is Boring". I haven't watched Wrestling extensively in 10 years or so and probably won't but going to Wrestlemania is one of those experiences that is very cool.

Just curious, how much were the tickets? Since they said there were 80,000 people there.

I went to Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto. It was a pretty cool experience, absolutely. My ticket cost $25! My back was against the wall at the top of the skydome. Very last row. I'm not kidding. I even had to squint to see the big screens!

Wrestlemania 29 tonight! My predictions:

Wade Barrett over The Miz
Team Rhodes Scholar & The Bella Twins over Tons Of Funk and The Funkadelics
Fandango over Chris Jericho
Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston over Team Hell No
Mark Henry and Ryback double countout
Triple H over Brock Lesnar
The Shield over Sheamus, Randy Orton & The Big Show
Alberto Del Rio over Jack Swagger
Undertaker over CM Punk
John Cena over The Rock

*Dolph cashes in on his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeats Del Rio after his match

i went 6-3, not too bad i guess.

Probably the Rhodes/bella vs Tons of fink will be tonight.

Of all the Wrestlemanias, that's the one I would have loved to be at. To be apart of that Rock/Hogan match must have been, to steal a term, electrifying. I can watch the part where Hogan hulks up after the Rock Bottom a million times in a row and never get sick of it.

Here it is. Check out the pop Hulk gets simply when his nWo theme hits, and then again when he walks out, and then again when his name is announced and AGAIN when he rips his shirt. And it all builds to that Hulk-up spot. One of my favorite matches ever. I love how the crowd turns on Rocky. I love JR and especially the King during the match. This match, even more so than more technically sound stuff like Savage/Steamboat or Hart/Austin, is what pro wrestling is all about.

This is one of those times you wished they changed the outcome mid-match

Nah I'm fine with the kick out and Rock going over. By that point in the match, it didn't even matter. One of the few matches ever where it didn't.
