BBB's Notebook: WrestleMania XIV


Tag Team Battle Royal: LOD 2000 (Hawk and Aniaml) won a "tag team battle royal" (8:19). The other teams in the match were: Savio Vega and Miguel Perez, Recon and Sniper, Chainz and Bradshaw, D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry, The Quebecers (Pierre and Jacques), The Rock-n-Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), Jesus Castillo and Jose Estrada, The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher), Too Much (Scott Taylor and Brian Christopher), Steve Blackman and Flash Funk, The Godwinns (Henry and Phinneaus), DOA (Skull and Eight Ball), Farooq and Kama, and New Midnight Express (Bob Holly and Bart Gunn) - It was a battle royal, what can I say. I hated LOD 2000 and I hated Sunny's outfit.

World Light-Heavyweight Title Match: Taka Michinoku pinned Aguila (5:57) - I totally forgot about this match.... They put together a entertaining little 6 minute bout.

European Heavyweight Title Match: Hunter Hearst Helmsley pinned Owen Hart (11:29) - Slaughter was handcuffed to Chyna who managed to interfere and cost Owen the match, decent match.

Mixed Tag Team Match: Marc Mero and Sable defeated Goldust and Luna (9:11) - Horrible as I'm sure you can imagine.

Intercontinental Heavyweight Title Match: Rocky Maivia defeated Ken Shamrock (4:49) by Disqualification. - Short but really tried to get Shamrock over as a loose cannon who can snap at a moments notice.

World Tag Team Title Match (Dumpster Match): Terry Funk and Cactus Jack defeated The New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn and Jesse James) (10:01) - This was pretty fun to watch as they brawled all over the building. The legends won after a forklift came into play.

The Undertaker pinned Kane (16:58) - Nothing really special even though this was their first match against each other. As Randy Jackson would say, it was just ok.

World Heavyweight Title Match: Steve Austin pinned Shawn Michaels (20:02) - The drama was fairly compelling. Everyone knew Shawn was leaving and everyone knew he was hurting so it was great to watch him and Austin still put on a tremendous match.

A pretty underrated WM.
