Mania 19 is gun too (assume that's the one you'd have top). Kind of a reversal in that it's The Rock who's out of this world great and carries that one. Austin is kinda just there but I think he was pretty broken down physically then. That was a completely stacked mania show in general, might be my favourite one.

Yeah that's the best of the three imo.

Whatever it takes!!!
WM 19 was so ****ing awesome.. Except for how Triple H buried Jericho, I guess.

Ah, damn. Comedy at it's finest though. Never knew WWE could do comedy so well.

Book was over af and ready to have a big run. It was disgusting what they did. Dude never significantly moved the needle again after that.

Yeah WM 16 onwards always involved Trips burying someone though, so you can see why it gets confusing sometimes.
Undertaker exempted of course.

The Mania 19 talk has me wishing I'd put Hogan vs Vince on my list. Still time to change it I guess...

With the racial overtones to the angle, no way should Booker have lost. The finishing sequence of pedigree -> loiter for approximately eternity before covering -> 3 count couldn't really have been worse.

Its just what happens when you let folks who are full of themselves run things. They always ruin it.

I remember watching a shoot interview with a female wrestler once, can't remember which, who said that the very first night that HHH was to make his debut, when he wasn't even "The Game" but the snobby Blueblood ****, he told this girl and another person backstage, "One day I will run all of this" spreading his arms around the place.
This female said she'd always seen politickers and brown-nosers in the WWF, but she found it striking that this guy who hadn't even made his debut yet had ambitions so grand. Probably should have been a harbinger of the **** to come and the stuff he would do.
Cornette had it right when someone asked him:
"Jim, do you think if Stephanie McMahon looked like Linda McMahon, but she was still Vince's daughter, would HHH have still married her?"
"Hell, he'd have married Abdullah the Butcher if he was Vince's daughter!"

Generally agree, but tbf in hindsight it was kinda inevitable
Most guys would have been a side character with Rock Vs Hogan and a mega over and recently returned HHH on the card really
That said, they could still have done a better job (pun not intended) with that entire storyline. Not pairing him up with Stephanie and having him literally picking up dog turds (still annoys me to this day) for one
