Mallrat remembers back..........
This time I'm gonna remember wrestlemania 18. Not to long ago.
I'm a huge RVD fan. Always have, Always will. Well at wrestlemania 18 he finnaly got his shot at the IC belt. He would be going against William Regal who at this point could not win unless he knocked the shit out of his oponet with brass nuckels.
Somehow RVD won the match, I don't remember how but i do remember it was a great match that ended with a huge 5 star. I remember this because It was a big step in RVD's WWE career, and the fact that Regal got the Europian belt shortly after. He defended it a few times( by cheating with the nucks ). Then on one Raw he was facing spike dudly for the belt. He went to hide the knucks when the refs back was turned and spike ran out real quik, grabed the nucks and whacked Regal for a quik 123. It was A great moment. I laughed for days.
RVD had just lost the hardcore belt to Goldust because Goldust figured out the 24 hour rule in wich you pin the champ at any time of day, wherever, whenever and get the belt. So obviusly everyone took a cue. Wrestle mania was a hardcore frenzy and there was'nt even a match! People where pinning each other every two seconds(i think Terri even got the belt for a second or two.). Hurrican was still with his partner Mity Moly holly( LOL! ) and when he got the belt she whacked him with a pan and took the belt. For one reason or another Hurricain ended up hiding in the womens looker room and all you could see was his shadow outline. They started undressing and he grabed a broom and made it look like he was getting a big stiffie! Great stuff. Goldust had the belt at the end of the night.
Flair lost to the Taker by a tombstone back when Taker was a heel. Remember that this was before the first draft... so Flair and Vince were 50/50 owners.
Triple H was back and was gettin his shot at the Belt. He was facing Chris Jericho who had Stephanie by his side( thats a long story ). So they fought a good 45 minute fight and when Triple H finnaly got the 123. The crowd went gonzo! They did'nt show it but there was like a mosh pit in the crowd and my friends got the scars to prove it! Crazy
Best match went to the Rock vs. Hulk of course. you know what happend. The respect the Rock showed Hogan at the end was Incredible. Then the following night hulk was yellow and red and the Hulkamainia was running wild of course. Great time.
This was right before wrestleing took a turn for the worst. It went down hill from their on and has'nt recoverd.
