I'm still trying to keep up but it almost seems like a lost cause to keep pace these days.
Wrestlemania X8
What is this opening why am I watching a concert. Yeah I'm skipping through this.
Good promo highlighting past Wrestlemania events as usual. Oh my god so many floor seats here, this must be a terrible view for so many.
Rob Van Dam vs. William Regal
Oh hey Regal isn't facing Edge again and RVD gets a chance at a belt.
RVD is hyping up this crowd early with his quick moves. "RVD" chants are going. Regal pulls out some brass knuckles already, RVD just kicks them away.
Five star frog splash misses and Regal's in control. Regal gets a nice neckbreaker in.
Rolling thunder doesn't hit either as Regal uses his knees. Lots of pinfall attempts and oh, Regal stops to wave to the crowd.
Regal gets in a suplex that ends up with RVD landing on his head, his mouth is bleeding after that. Oh, Regal goes and retrieves his brass knuckles. The ref sees and takes them. Regal's got a second pair but those are kicked away too.
Five star frog splash now, RVD wins the intercontinental belt. Good enough opener.
Christian really wants to mock DDP. He dumped DDP like he dumped Toronto.
Christian vs. DDP
Why is DDP wrestling with the vest on oh wait there it goes.
Christian's mocking DDP's diamond hand sign and this gives DDP some new energy. DDP gets pulled into the ring post though.
DDP with a bunch of clotheslines and punches and lariats and this time he fakes it. Christian ducks and gets caught in a powerbomb. He can't get the diamond cutter and Christian hits an unprettier. DDP kicks out?!
Now DDP gets the diamond cutter and he gets the cover. There was some hesitation between these two a bunch, need more time together.
DDP wants to congratulate Christian for controlling his temper. This makes Christian angry. DDP leaves through the crowd for some reason.
Rock has come back to Toronto, fans here love him. Rock mocks Coach, these are always the best parts of Rock's interviews. "What up G" Rock thinks Coach's prayers make him a sick freak. Rock calls out Hogan and then rips his shirt.
Another belt up for grabs? A BELT UP FOR GRABS IN EVERY MATCH.
Hardcore match: Goldust vs. Maven
Goldust pulls stuff out from under the ring before Maven even comes out.
Maven's attacked outside the ring and he's trying to sell everything he can. He tosses Goldust a garbage can and dropkicks it, I guess it kind of got Goldust or something.
Both guys get garbage can lids and knock each other out. Spike Dudley runs out and pins Maven to win the belt?
OH GOD HERE'S CRASH! He chases Spike into the crowd! Yes! Guess Spike gets to remain champ for today.
What is this we get another concert performance. "To tell the story of tonight's championship match"? Drowning Pool's singer shouts "I can't hear you!" at the end of the song and the dead crowd responds with a smattering of cheers.
Crash and Spike are still fighting backstage! Here comes Al Snow on a golf cart!
Hurricane swings in on a rope! Where is the rope from? He gets a pin on Spike and wins the hardcore belt! WHOOOSH he flies away YESSSSS.
