It was just a year ago, we lived the wrestling fans dream, me and some friends went to our first Mania. We traveled from as far as Seattle and as close as an hour away from Orlando.
Four lifelong WWE fans gathered in a house in Orlando, FL to live out the childhood dream. We also lived out the dreams of everyone over the age of 21 while we where there as well.
After picking up our buddy at the airport coming in late on Saturday night we headed straight to the bars. Downtown was being set up with all kinds of parties for the event. It was amazing to see. It was crazy to talk to some people and to how many they have been too and where they come from to get there.
The next day was the big day, and provided many memories for all us (a little fuzzy thanks to the Miller Light). And I'd like to share my top five from the night with you.
5. John Cena not Walking Out With the Belt
It was refreshing not seeing him hold the belt, or walk out with it. I personally was rooting for Triple H. But, all in all, it was a great match. I think everyone expected Orton to lose, but the kick to Hunter ended every ones hopes that night. Especially for John Cena.
4. Kane Wins ECW Title
Kane had to first win a battle royal before the event kicked off to get the title shot. The match for the belt last barely 10 seconds. But, if you hate seeing Cena with the belt all the time, it was even worse seeing Chavo with the ECW belt.
The guy sucks and lives off the name. They need to give it up with him being a big time player in any brand.
3. Undertakers Streak
One of the things you think about when you hear mania is the streak. Its the best streak in wrestling by far. If you can count on anything its the Deadman coming out with a W in March. This time it was for the Belt, which he deserves at least once more.
2. Morrisons Backflip
One of the best moves I have ever seen came during the MITB match. Morrison went to the top rope with ladder and did a back flip to the opponents on the floor with the ladder in his hands. We all know what a tremendous athlete he can be.
It was just a wow moment. I think we all looked at each in amazement after he pulled it off. The rest of the match was a like a train wreck and there were bodies laying everywhere.
1. WWOOOOOOO
Did you not see this coming? Ric Flair VS. HBK. It wasn't the best match, but, it was a good one. These two guys still put on a show. Seeing HBK mouth his,"I love you" before the final Kick of the match was pretty cool. The thank you Flair chant at the end was deafening. Being a big Nature Boy fan, being there for his last match was something I'll remember forever.
It was simply...Priceless.
