WrestleMania X8

This is a very difficult WM to write about, partly because it's in the between an excellent PPV and a crap PPV category. Some matches were ace, some weren't.

Results from Wrestlemania X-8 are as follows: - Rob Van Dam defeated William Regal to win the Intercontinental Championship in a solid opener.

• Diamond Dallas Page defeated Christian in a useless match.

• Spike Dudley defeated Goldust to win the Hardcore title (this match was Maven and Goldust, but Dudley ran down and pinned Goldust) - Edge pinned Booker T in a worthless match.

• 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin pinned Scott hall in a rotten match (this showed when Austin walked out of the Federation for real shortly afterwards)

• Kurt Angle defeated Kane in a good match.

• The Hurricane defeated Spike Dudley to win the Hardcore title (backstage)

• The Undertaker pinned Ric Flair in a fair match.

• Mighty Molly pinned The Hurricane to win the Hardcore title (backstage) - The Rock defeated Hollywood Hogan in a very good match. The fans in this match were simply mad! They cheered Hogan instead of The Rock.

• Christian pinned Mighty Molly to win the Hardcore title (backstage when Christian slammed a door in Molly's face)

• Billy and Chuck defeated The APA, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz in a four corners match to retain the WWE tag team belts.

• Maven pinned Christian to win back the Hardcore title (in the car parking lot when Christian was day dreaming, Maven snuck up behind him and pinned him)

• Jazz defeated Lita and Trish Stratus to retain the WWE Women's Championship.

• The Rock pinned Hulk Hogan. The fans were really into this match. However fans booed Rock and cheered Hogan.

• Triple H defeated Chris Jericho to win the Undisputed Championship. However fans were not that interested in this match and when Tripper won no one cared.

Overall Grade - B

It wasn't that bad, nice to see old people back in the WWE-then WWF. Even though Kevin Nash keeps getting injured. Scott Hall is gone already in May 2002. Hulk is out right now. Over all the Rock-Hogan match was good. I would give the ppv 8/10

The first half of the Wrestlemania 18 card is pretty average (at best). There was William Regal in a championship match (yikes), guys like DDP & Goldust trying to recapture old glories, and a few confrontations--Angle/Kane, American BA Undertaker/Flair, Edge/Booker T--that are fine (though little more).

But then, the good stuff kicks into high gear...

-Stone Cold vs. Scott Hall (w/Kevin Nash) is actually a great match, albeit a rather short one due to Austin's physical limitations at that time. But for what is there, it is extremely entertaining and Mania-worthy.

-NWO Hollywood Hogan vs. The Rock is one of the top matches in WWE history. Again, a bit on the short side due to Hogan's age, assuredly, but the energy is almost unmatched even by Mania standards. Only Hulk/Andre & Hulk/Warrior eclipse it. This should have been the finale of the PPV, even without a strap on the line. It alone raises this card a full star (if not two).

-Despite a bit of a come-down from Rock/Hogan, the HHH/Jericho finale is pretty good. I've never been a huge Triple-H guy and I can't quite understand Y2J's appeal, but for those who enjoy both those guys it is a solid match.

From stem to stern, I'll give this uneven card a 7/10 ranking. But in reality, that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. All anyone will remember WM18 for is the Rock/Hogan match for the ages.

Hulk Hogan Is back In the Main Event , That is what makes Wrestlemania 18 the best in many years , Also Kevin Nash and Scott Hall make their WWF Return to the ring .

Don't miss this event it is 4 Hours of Pure Excitement.

There was nothing special about this WrestleMania apart from The Rock vs Hulk Hogan. That match was exciting to watch because of atmosphere and crowd reaction. However other than that this event was mostly crap. People acting like as if this was some kind of goat tier event like previous year's all timer WrestleMania X-Seven. This event should not have 7.8 ratings at all tbh. Crowd was dead for main event. Make no sense why Rock vs Hogan wasn't main event. Undertaker vs Ric Flair was also a decent match too. Overall I don't think this WrestleMania event was as great as some people claim it to be.
