Scott,
A few weeks ago, I started a small project about trying to find a wrestler
to consider as "Mr. Wrestlemania". I wanted to see how wrestlers measured
up against each other over the 25 years. For instance, Hulk Hogan main
evented at 7 Wrestlemanias, but the Undertaker has appeared at more. I saw
that you posted someone's chart of Royal Rumble star power, and thought
that since Wrestlemania is coming up that I'd share my work with you and
the blog posters.
I created a point system and based everything off of Match Results and
they are as follows:

Mr. Wrestlemania
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Questions for Clarification (Updated With Final List)
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010I'm planning on doing a rant of the past main events of Wrestlemania as my part in WM month.
Obviously the main events were easy to decipher and I'll even do the 1st and 2nd part of the "double" main events for the years that they had doubled up.
But I have a few questions that will help me clarify how much I'm doing:
-- Wrestlemania X: Is that considered a "double" main event with Lex vs. Yoko the first half and Bret vs. Yoko the second half? Or is Bret vs. Yoko the official main event?
-- Wrestlemania XI: Was that considered a double main event card or was HBK-Diesel the undercard match to LT-Bigelow?
As for the Wrestlemania cards after the brand split, I'm going with the final match on the show.
And yes, I will make a special exemption and do the Wrestlemania XX Main Event despite saying I would never do another match featuring Chris Benoit.
Final List and explanations after the Jump!
Like shrubbery?
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Hi Scott,
A question that I don't think has been asked before: what do you think is the best use of a "plant" in the audience?
The one that stands out most for me is the time when Dino Bravo was feuding with Ultimate Warrior. Bravo and Jimmy Hart came to the ring and bragged about Bravo being stronger than Warrior. To prove his point, he says he can do pushups with anybody in the audience on his back, and asks for volunteers. Without any additional prodding, everyone in the audience points to this huge shy guy sitting in the eighth row. They confidently bring "John" to the ring, and Bravo bounces the big guy up and down with pushups. Now Warrior has to come down to duplicate the feat or else appear as a wuss. But when he tries, "John" jumps down on his back, and everyone proceeds to beat down the Warrior. As a result, "John" got over even more than Bravo, and The (Canadian) Earthquake would go on to the main event of Summerslam less than a year later.
Did any other use of an audience plant ever work out so well?
I can hardly even think of any other than Tenta, so I’m thinking no.
