WrestleMania X8

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

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.

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.

This Wrestlemania would rank very low on my list of Wrestlemanias. The Rock vs Hulk Hogan was not very good at all, Stone Cold vs Scott Hall was slow, RVD vs William Regal was probably the best wrestled match of the night, DDP vs Christian was not worth watching, Jazz vs Lita vs Trish Stratus ended WAY TOO FAST, Triple H vs Chris Jericho was decent (although not for a main event at Wrestlemania), The Hardcore title changing hands several times sucked (except when The Hurricane was peeping at The Godfather's Hoes), The Billy/Chuck, Dudley Boyz, Hardyz, APA match should not have ended the way it did, Kurt Angle vs Kane was ok, Edge vs Booker T was fine, Undertaker vs Ric Flair was not too shabby, but overall i give this a 7/10

Wrestlemania 18 is one of the most overrated Wrestlemania's ever! It was a good show! But not a great show! Hogan vs The Rock truly outshined the whole match card of the night! As it should've been the main event of Wrestlemania 18! Steve Austin was even screwed with a match against Scott Hall. The match card for this event was far from stellar. Instead it was just above average. Chris Jericho vs HHH was one of the worst main events ever in Wrestlemania history! HHH is far too overrated and is not a great Wrestlemania main eventer! He is just an overhyped Test! Ric Flar vs Undertaker was a good match. As for the rest of the card, who even remembers the card? It's forgettable! When looking back at this event. The only thing that is remembered is how Hogan vs The Rock had one of the most thunderous ovations of a crowd ever for a match! Which really helped build this match in being one of the biggest matches ever!
