If they ever did one in Seattle again, I reckon that would get me to travel from Ireland. WrestleMania XIX is a sneaky contender for best one ever.

WWE Fastlane tonight! and my predictions:

Daniel Bryan over Kevin Owens

The Usos over Miz and Sahne McMahon

The Revival over Gable & Roode and Ricchochet and Black

Becky Lynch over Charlotte Flair (maybe with the "help" of Ronda Rousey)

Asuka over Mandy Rose

Bayley and Sasha Banks over Nia Jax and Tamina by DQ

The Shield over Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and Baron Corbin

Andrade and Rey Mysterio ends in a double countout

SHinsuke and Rusev over The New Day

Completely agree. It was kind of a cross of eras with a LOT of star power. Austin's last match. Hogan's last WM match. Shawn's first WM match since coming back from his injury. The rise of new main-eventers like Lesnar and Angle. Great venue and great WM.

It's so good in my memory that I have been holding off on rewatching it for years. The one match that I have rewatched a few times is Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels. Some people say the main event is ruined because of Lesnar's bad bump. Honestly, that doesn't even bother me.

Awesome. Bret's my favorite wrestler ever. Wish they did this before Neidhart passed though. I marked out so bad in 1997 when Neidhart appeared out of nowhere to attack Austin and join the new Hart Foundation. Neidhart was also fun as Owen's lackey in 1994.

Women's Championship match will be the main event

So the only 2 time HOF are Flair, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels?

Booker T as well since Harlem Heat are going in this year.

Oh yea so 3 will be going in for the 2nd time this year. Hogan should be a 2 time HOF as well. NWO should get in next year. Hogan, Hall, and Nash. Maybe Bischoff

Hall and Nash would be 2-times too if the nWo went in.

I keep forgetting who's in. I know HHH will be a 2 time eventually. Sucks they didn't include Rick Rude in the DX or solo.

I got a ticket to the Hall of fame ceremony. Mostly went to see Torrie. I didn't get Wrestlemania Axxess tickets though.

Rude is in solo. Think he went in two or three years ago.  I can understand him not being included with DX though. Was only in it for a little while before jumping ship.

so, thoughts on the women's main event at mania? big deal, or meh? do think it would have happened this "soon" if WWE still was on the old PPV model?

I think it's cool. God knows I'm sick of Brock Lesnar boring me to death in WrestleMania matches. And really, this three-way is the best feud going they have going. So I look forward to it.

One thing though, I think WWE needs to back off all the "Women's Revolution" stuff. The mission is accomplished: the women are on equal footing as the men and all the fans accept it. I didn't bat an eye when they got their own PPV, Royal Rumble, Tag Titles, and now this WM main-event because they deserve it. So Stephanie doesn't need to trot all the women out onto ramp for an ovation when it's announced that they will have their own Royal Rumble. And the WWE twitter feed doesn't need to say that Lynch, Flair, and Rousey are making HERstory by being the main-event of WM. I think it's almost insulting to the women to keep patting them on the head like they're children. Charlotte Flair does better moonsaults than fucking Shawn Michaels. And when she does one, I don't think "that was great for a woman," I think "that was great."

It's a big deal. Sometimes they don't get the main event right like not putting Hulk/Rock there

That was HHH's stupid ego. Jericho said on his podcast that he begged HHH to go to Vince and tell him to put Hogan/Rock on last because Jericho is smart enough to know they couldn't follow them. HHH didn't because he thought the title match should go on last (it didn't at WM8 for reference) and they went out and wrestled to crickets. Same thing happened at WM25 when HHH/Orton went on last, even though Undertaker/HBK was the real main-event.
