My Top 10 Favorite Memories of WrestleMania XXIV
WrestleMania XXIV is in the books, and while the event is still fresh in my mind, I'd like to take some time to go back and write down my top 10 favorite memories of the event and some personal thoughts of the night at the Citrus Bowl:
1. Ric Flair Waving Good-Bye - In what will go down as possibly the most emotional moment in WM history, the greatest to ever lace up boots gives an emotional farewell on the biggest stage in wrestling history.
2. Taker Takes Back the Gold - In a great match with a deserving champ in Edge, the Undertaker under a blaze of fireworks and blue lights hoists the World Heavyweight Title once again.
3. Big Show Buries Mayweather, then Falls - Yes, in a match that I felt was better than expected, the Big Show looked strong in giving Floyd Mayweather a beating, then takes brass knucks to the face in losing by a knockout.
4. Money in the Bank Deliverers; Again - Yes, this year was my favorite of all the MITB matches, with John Morrison doing a flip with the ladder, Matt Hardy coming back, and Shelton Benjamin taking a huge bump. A good match with a good ending with C.M. Punk taking home the briefcase.
5. Pyro, Pyro and more Pyro - The WWE spent a record amount of money on fireworks this year, and while everyone wants to focus on the mishap at the end of the show, the fireworks throughout the night were simply amazing.
6. Randy Orton Shocks the World - Yes, only 8 percent on a poll thought Randy would keep the strap, but with some smarts at the end, he not only kept the strap, but did it in a fashion that makes him look stronger than ever.
7. Fans, and lots of them - The fans at the Citrus Bowl were amazing, and the ones on the floor around us were very much into the matches. Speaking of which, if you were the young lady sitting next to us in Section 25 Row P seat 1 - where's my pics? She was a lot of fun and was a wrestling buff....still waiting to hear from you!
8. Snoops Ride to the Ring - Nothing like being escorted to the ring by the finest Diva's in the WWE. That's exactly what Snoop Dogg got when he drove to the ring in that little car before the Bunny Mania match.
9. Kane Snatches the ECW Title - In an amazing 8 seconds, ECW crowned a new champ, and one that can actually hold the belt for sometime.
10. Hornswoggle Returns - The son of Finlay is back, and despite the Irishman losing to JBL, Hornswoggle is back and hopefully will continue to be a part of the storyline down the road.
