WrestleMania XVIII--LIVE FROM TORONTO
WWF and PayPerView ^ | 03/17/02 | Me and StoneColdGOP

Posted on 03/17/2002 3:45:19 PM PST by Bella_Bru

On the card for today:

Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock

Two icons in sports entertainment will battle it out on March 17 to determine who is the greatest superstar of all time. Hollywood Hulk Hogan will go one-on-one with the Great One at WrestleMania X8, and you can rest assured that it will go down as a monumental event in sports-entertainment history!

Undisputed Championship - Triple H vs. Chris Jericho

On the Feb. 18 episode of RAW, Triple H regained his status as the No. 1 contender for Chris Jericho's Undisputed Federation Championship. After coming back from a major leg injury, will The Game be able to become a five-time Federation Champion? Will Y2J be able to overcome his greatest threat to his Undisputed Championship?

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall

For weeks now, these two men have been toying with each other mentally, as well as physically. Will Stone Cold be too much for the Bad Guy to handle? Or will Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash assist Hall in his quest to permanently dismember the Rattlesnake?

Intercontinental Championship - William Regal vs. Rob Van Dam

After winning a three-way No. 1 contender's match on the Feb. 25 episode of RAW, RVD solidified his one-way ticket to WrestleMania X8 to challenge William Regal for the Intercontinental Championship. Will the Englishman's mat skills bring him another win, or will RVD's high-flying attack lead him to victory?

Ric Flair vs. Undertaker

This battle has grown incredibly personal in recent weeks, with Taker taking out his aggression on Ric's best friend, Arn Anderson, and on Ric's oldest son, David. Can Taker improve his WrestleMania record to a perfect 10-0? Or will the Nature Boy come up big at the biggest show of the year?

Tag Team Championship - Billy & Chuck vs. APA vs. Hardys vs. Dudleys

The Tag Team Championship has changed hands at the last two WrestleMania events -- and the Hardys and Dudleys have been a part of both of those matches. Will history repeat itself this Sunday at WrestleMania?

Women's Championship - Jazz vs. Lita vs. Trish Stratus

Jazz has been a dominant force in the Women's division, but can she withstand the attack of two of the Federation's most talented divas? And can Trish bring home the title in her hometown of Toronto?

Kane vs. Kurt Angle

It's Kane against Kurt Angle ... the Big Red Machine against the Big Red, White and Blue Machine ... a 7-foot monster against your Olympic hero -- and there can only be one winner!

Edge vs. Booker T

One is a five-time WCW Champion and the most decorated superstar in WCW history. The other is a seven-time Tag Team Champion, a four-time Intercontinental Champion and a Toronto native. Who will come out on top at WrestleMania?

Thanks for the play by play. I don't get PPV out here since I have the cheap cable.

We almost didn't get it because no one could remember the PIN for PPV orders. We had to call the cable company, wait on hold forever (read 45 minutes) and then change the PIN.

A quick thanks to you all for creating the General Interest Forum. This wasn't news or political, but it sure was fun. Thanks for providing a place for it.

should we ever meet, the three of us, the first round is on me...and several more after that.

"May those who love us, truly love us.

Those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts.

If their hearts can't be turned, turn their ankles, so we can see them limping and get out of their way."

Thanks for the ping. From your reports, it looks like the crowd was more on the side of Hogan than the Rock...

I wonder if Hogan is in this for only a few appearances just to put the Rock over...

I think it is about time to bring The Iron Sheik out of mothballs and turn him into one of Osama bin Laden's fighters and have him do a few bootcamp matches with Sgt. Slaughter...

Oh, the days of The Iron Sheik, the greatest wrestler ever. A man who could swing 400 pound Persian Clubs over his head.

Chuck was Chuck Palumbo.

it was a good show. I was so happy to see the NWO swept and Steph and Y2J beatdown by HHH. Overall, a damn good WrestleMania. In light of what happened between the Rock and Hogan, RAW should be interesting.

I was unhappy to read that Ric Flair lost to the Undertaker. I am tired of seeing The Nature Boy job all big matches. I think he's about due for another world title run.

He needs to get into better shape. You could definitely pinch an inch on him tonight. And he needed a bra.

HEY! Don't diss the Nature Boy!

Speaking of bra... Hunter Hearst Helmsley sure has a huge pair of breasts.
