DQ's List of Most Memorable WrestleMania XXX Moments

These are only some of them. I can put in so many WMXXX moments, but I can only put in so much. :P

  1. The Streak being beat. At 49 years old, The Undertaker isn't as agile as he used to be. Because he's taken so many bumps, bladings, and nasty chairshots to the skull over his thirty-plus-year career, the aches and pains are catching up to him, the main reason he only wrestles once annually. If you watched last night's match closely, he was sluggish and somewhat frail. (And he apparently suffered a concussion from a botched suplex early in the match, so his career's in very serious jeopardy.) That said, the match usually ends with Undertaker conquering the foe and extending his streak. To see the streak finally be busted will be the most memorable thing to happen last night. Twenty-one consecutive matches won at WrestleMania snapped by a very formidable foe.
  2. Daniel Bryan conquering The Authority!

    Since winning the title cleanly at Summerslam, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and the rest of The Authority made Bryan's quest back to the top and life a living hell. It was so bad, Triple H and Steph were the victims of an uncensored "ASSHOLE!" chant when Raw visited Chicago. Since he started wrestling in the independent leagues, Bryan's always had the charisma both in and out of the ring, making him very popular. After that squash match in WM28, the "YES!" movement was unofficially born, and his popularity in the WWE, face or heel, climbed tremendously.
     
    And he did it in such fantastic fashion, putting up two fantastic, match-of-the-year clinics to win the World HeavyWeight Championship! "YES!", indeed!
  3. The initial promo with The Rock, Stone Cold, and Hulk Hogan. Three of the greatest WWE superstars of all-time joining together in a grand promo to kick of WMXXX. The pops were fantastic, and you can tell they were so into it. They have the passion, energy, and heart.
     
    Oh, and the "Silverdome" gaffe made the promo better. Hogan will never live that one down. :lol:
  4. In the triple-threat match, Bryan was the victim of a Batista Bomb AND RKO through the Spanish Announce Table (nostalgic WWE fans will remember the abuse that table's suffered over the years :lol:). Well, what makes this memorable is the bump during the RKO.
     
    Watch Orton execute his RKO to see what I mean:
     

     
  5. Two mark-out moments during the Battle Royal (which was much better than I thought it'd be):
     
    a. Kofi Kingston being launched over the top rope, but his feet only landed on the stairs. In battle royal rules, an eliminated wrestler must be thrown over the top rope and have both feet hit the floor. Neither foot hit the floor, and it's such a difficult maneuver to book correctly. Credits to the writers for having the balls to plan this.
     
    b. Cesaro lifting Big Show off his feet to eliminate him. Hopefully, this will launch his career, as he's raw talent and deserves a push.

I agree with all except the first one. Undertaker's streak (and most likely career) being ended by someone that probably won't be around for too long and just came back for the 4th or something time, that was disappointing by far for me. Plus, I have heard the match was immensely...boring and not planned well.

 

Just my opinion though, I think they could have done far better with that. The reason I mentioned career is because more than likely Undertaker will be retiring soon, this is the red flag to that.

 

Daniel winning the championship finally is neato though.

I haven't watched WWE in forever. Interesting though. Undertaker's age and injuries are catching up to him. I think it's time he seriously sat down and contemplate retirement for his health.

Don't underestimate Brock Lesnar. He may not have a full-time workload, but he's been pushed by the WWE. With him conquering the streak cleanly, he solidified his legacy as one of the greatest heels of all-time (for Paul Heyman, a top-three manager).

 

Also, Brock is no longer in Mixed-Martial Arts due to his bout with diverticulitis. At this point, wrestling part-time is a better option for him. The WWE wants the Universe to be convinced that he's going to help revolutionize the industry; expect him to be in more matches (if not a WWE Title match) in the near future.
