Wrestlemania XIV was a huge event that took place at the Fleet Center in Boston. There are many memorable moments from this Wrestlemania. To me there wasn't a bad match on card at all. All of the matches are pretty watchable which makes up a good event to watch all the way through.1. 15 Team Battle Royal for the #1 ContendershipA very good opener and battle royal which features 2 teams of the nation, headbangers, gowins, too cool, and others. The new L.O.D. makes a surprise return which was the highlight of the match. Good opener. 3.5/52. WWE Light Heavyweight ChampionshipTaka Michinoku vs. AguilaA very good and high flying match between these 2 light heavyweights. There were some good aerial moves and also some good wrestling moves used as well. Very good match with light heavyweights. King also makes references about how his son could beat both of these guys, so listen for that. 4/53. European ChampionshipTriple H w/ Chyna vs. Owen HartNow the stimpulation to this match was that Chyna had to stay handcuffed to St. Slaughter through the duration of the match. This match just became fight in the beginning with Hart just whelling on Triple H. Hart even utilizes a standing hurricanrana on Triple H. Triple H would then get the advantage and start working on the injured ankle of Hart. Chyna would eventually get lose and give Hart a low blow to allow Triple H to deliver the pedigree on Hart. Just a good all around match nevertheless. 4/54. Mixed Tag MatchMarc Mero & Sable vs. Goldust & LunaSable from the beginning was ready for a fight. I believe the 2 women made the match more than the 2 men. Sable wins with the TKO on Luna. 2.5/55. Intercontinental ChampionshipThe Rock vs. Ken ShamrockTo me, this match was much better then their match at the Rumble. The match had more brawling and some more wrestling. Some good outside ring action in the beginning. And just like the Rumble, Shamrock initially wins the match but gets the decision reversed after Shamrock wouldn't let go of the ankle lock. 3.5/56. Dumpster Match for the WWE Tag Team ChampionshipThe New Age Outlaws vs. Cactus Jack & Terry FunkThis was just a good hardcore tag match. chairs, the dumpster, cooking sheets, and even a ladder all come into play. Some good spots with the dumpster. Funk gets powerbombed into the dumpster by the Outlaws. The match would end in the locker room area. Great first match of it's kind. 4/57. Undertaker vs. Kane w/Paul BearerThis was a great match between these so called brothers and the build up towards the match was just pheonomenal as well. Kane basically just dominates the undertaker during the majority of the match. Kane utilizes some wrestling holds to wear down the undertaker in this one. some good out of the ring action. Both men displays some great agility in this one. Undertaker kicks out of a tombstone that kane delivers, but it takes 3 tombstones to put away Kane. Pheonomenal match! Listen for Pete Rose's red sox jokes before the match, they're pretty funny. 5/58. WWE ChampionshipStone Cold Steve Austin vs. Shawn MichaelsGreat match even though Michaels back was injured throughout the whole match due to the casket match at the Rumble. Some good brawling on the outside. Michaels utilizes the figure 4 in this one. Some good reversals. Good overall match. Austin would counter sweet chin music and then hit the stunner to begin the Austin 3:16 era. Great main event. 4.5/5This was a good wrestlemania. I'll say this Wrestlemania is most likely in the top 10, if not in the top 5, but that is just my opinion. Great Wrestlemania nevertheless. I recommend yall picking this one up. WrestleMania XIV was an event that I thought did not receive the credit that it deserved. This one was not only better than the previous WrestleMania but better than the next one after this one. Luckily, I am not doing this based off memory and I actually have the event in my personal collection. Anyways, this is how I saw the matches:15 Tag Team Battle Royal was the opening contest and this match was good for what it was. The highlight is the return of the Legion Of Doom. Nobody hyped this match to be a classic but it was fun while it lasted.Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku vs Aguila. This was one of the reasons that this event was underrated because these two athletes gave the fans a fast paced contest with some solid high flying moves. At this time, the crowd did not know what to think of this action but this was awesome.European Champion Triple H vs Owen Hart. The story of this match was that Chyna was going to be handcuffed to Sgt. Slaughter to avoid any interference. With that out of the way, Triple H and Owen wrestle a very solid match that ends with Chyna surprising the commissioner and Owen as well.Sable & Marc Mero vs Goldust & Luna. I remember thinking this was going to be a waste of time but the exact opposite happened. This was not only a fun match but it was entertaining and nobody looked out of place. Sable was the only one over with the crowd at that time which was no surprise.Intercontinental Champion The Rock vs Ken Shamrock. This was one of their weaker matches. These two worked great at the Survivor Series in 1997 and had solid matches at the Royal Rumble & King of the Ring in 1998 but this one was not that good. One wrestler dominates the entire match and it ends on a weak DQ.Tag Team Champions New Age Outlaws vs Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie in a Dumpster Match. This is one of the better matches of the event. Even though hardcore action had improved since this match, you still get a kick out of the hardcore action here. The highlight is Foley and Gunn flying off the ladder into the dumpster. A lot of fun here..The Undertaker vs Kane. This was the first time that these two battled and it is still the best one that these two had. The match tells an interesting story of Kane being relentless, while Undertaker kept the match going by never giving up. There is even a sick table spot involving Taker flying over the top. Along with the main event, the best match on the card in my opinion.WWF Champion Shawn Michaels vs Stone Cold Steve Austin w/ Mike Tyson as the special enforcer. This was one of the most hyped main events in WrestleMania history and a great way to end the show. Despite not topping their previous classic at the King of the Ring 1997, Austin & HBK still deliver the goods (especially considering both men were seriously injured at the time). These two worked hard with those injuries, especially HBK, and should be respected for that alone. The ending was a surprise and signaled a new era in wrestling.Overall, this was one of the best WrestleManias that I have ever seen and considering everyone is selling it a low price, I strongly recommend this one. Hopefully, others will appreciate this one a little more than it seems. WrestleMania is called the granddaddy of all wrestling PPV's. Well they do make some good moments, I find them to be a little misleading. Only recently has WrestleMania been putting on subpar PPV's ever since this one. The year before was a good WrestleMania highlighted by the Hart-Austin submission match that fans will never forget. This Austin-Michaels ppv ushered in a new era but up until WrestleMania X7, WrestleMania would put on Raw like matches for there biggest PPV of the year.Tag Team Battle Royal: LOD returns and wins this very confusing battle royal. I dont even remember half the teams that where in this event. I like how the King puts over his own son, Brain Christphor, in this match.Take Michinoku VS Agulia: Good, fast paced match. Again Lawler puts over his son after Michinkoku wins. WWE cruiserweight division never amounted to much.Triple H VS Owen Hart: A good match but Chyna interferes and ruins what was a good match.Marc Mero @ Sable VS Luna @ Golddust: I guess Golddust was always a weird guy. This match didnt really do much. Could have been saved for Raw. Ken Shamrock VS The Rock: I use to love Shamrock. The Rock screws Shamrock out the IC title, which was really the only bad part to it.Cactus Jack and Terry Funk VS N.A.O: A good street fight. Funny how over N.A.O were considering only Billy Gunn knew how to wrestle.Kane VS Undertaker: Good match. One of the best on the card.Austin VS Michaels: Triple H and Chyna are thrown out after a few minutes, much to the fans delight. I never knew how Mike Tyson brought in ratins for WWE but I guess it did. Austin wins and ushers in his era, as Michaels would retire for a few years. Good match.Decent PPV with only a few highlights. WWE would return to WrestleMania from in Houston.THIS IS THE PPV THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THE ATTITUDE ERA IN THE WWF. IN THIS CLASSIC, YOU WILL SEE THE UNDERTAKER BATTLE KANE, CACTUS AND CHAINSAW CHARLIE FACE THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS IN A DUMPSTER MATCH FOR THE WWF TAG TITLES, OWEN HART VS. HHH, AND THE UNFORGETTABLE MAIN EVENT FEATURING AUSTIN AND HBK WITH TYSON AS THE SPECIAL ENFORCER. FANS WILL NEVER FORGET THIS WRESLEMANIA SINCE THIS WAS WHEN AUSTIN WON THE WWF TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME. HEADING INTO THIS EVENT, EVERYONE IN THE BUSINESS WAS ANTICIPATING A NEW CHAMPION AND AUSTIN WAS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE TO FILL THAT ROLE. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE TYSON TURN ON DX SIMPLY BECAUSE HE AND AUSTIN HAD SPENT THE PREVIOUS WEEKS FIGHTING HEADING INTO THE PPV. ANY WRESTLING FAN CANNOT GO WRONG WITH A PPV FILLED WITH THESE CLASSIC MATCHES AND MOMENTS. catcus jack terry funk vs new age outlawthis match is near my favorite hardcore matches it was innovative and exciting the only thing is it was a little short i feel this match is slightly overlooked because of hbk and scsa match as mainevent both two teams work well against eachother i wish there was a rematch between the two teams in another hardcore gimmmick perhaps a hiac in either case they used ladders, chairs, obviously dumpsters, and large plastic soda bottles i know they used more weapons but i forget i admire the conclusion of the match as it was very creative with funk driving a folklift to pick up the new age outlaws and put them into the dumpster to win the match if this was five minutes longer this would have probably been a tag team version of hhh vs catcus jack at the royal rumble 2000 it was close though i rate ***3/4 to very close **** star match |
