Wrestlemania Xiv Puns

First off I'm not a wrestling fan and just wanted to know the results of the event because I remember Mike Tyson being on it. If you go to the results section of the wiki page it's shows wrestlers who didn't even wrestle at the time. Anyway is there any where I can see the full event results?

So in my WWE 13 Universe mode, I've been trying to play through the time period from 1997 to present day. It's a tall order, and should take me a few years to catch up with the present, if I do at all. Part of the fun of this is allowing for remixes of history and random Universe events to influence what happens. For instance, Vader got hurt and was released as a "career-ending" injury about a year before he actually left the WWE.

Scenario: I'm in January of 1998, and Stone Cold just got hurt weeks before the Royal Rumble. SOMEONE has to beat Shawn Michaels for the title at Wrestlemania and usher in the Attitude Era. The question is, who should?

You can use anyone on the WWE Roster from January 1998. These are the major constraints:

1. The Undertaker and Kane must meet at Wrestlemania, so neither of them can win th Royal Rumble.
2. Vader has been released and cannot win the Royal Rumble
3. The Montreal Screwjob was a work; Bret Hart will return as entrant 30 in the Royal Rumble, but his victory might not necessarily be seen as "a new era."
4. Shawn Michaels is WWE Champion and will be until Wrestlemania, and cannot win the Royal Rumble.

Given we've had 31 WrestleManias before this year and March is 31 days long, I thought it would be fun to set up "31 For 31," a daily discussion thread where we can watch and talk about individual WrestleManias. If you're into the idea, feel free to upvote; if you're not, I'm sure I'll lose interest around day six or so and you'll never have to see these again.

THE CARD

TRIVIA!

• WrestleMania XIV was the in-ring Mania debut for Kane, Road Dogg, Ken Shamrock, Marc Mero, Sable, Taka Michinoku, Aguila and a whole shitload of undercard tag team wrestlers.
• WrestleMania XIV marked the only WrestleMania match for Marc Mero (yet Sable would go on to have two more Mania matches and win them both). It was also the only Mania appearance for Aguila.
• This was the first WrestleMania in history to not feature anyone from the WrestleMania I card competing on it (although Terry Funk did wrestle at WrestleMania 2).
• This was the first WrestleMania to feature Pete Rose getting Tombstoned, but it certainly wasn't the last!
• WrestleMania XIV was Shawn Michaels' final match for four-and-a-half years.

*QUESTIONS!

Considering that WWE likes to use the nostalgia card when things get too dull even for their comfort, why not do a remake using their current talent?

For lols if not actually for WrestleMania (and get rid of the Survivor Series stuff)

It's WrestleMania Season! In just sixteen days, we'll be watching the Showcase of the Immortals, the Granddaddy of them All, the one and only WrestleMania. And continuing in the theme of By the Numbers, I'll be examining each WrestleMania over the next thirty days. Without further ado.

###WrestleMania XII

A classic if only for it's main event, WrestleMania XII was an event that paved the way for the attitude era. One of the last Mania's of the New Generation, what could be called a transition Mania is a pretty decent show.

Match One: Camp Cornette (w/ Jim Cornette) defeated Yokozuna, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Ahmed Johnson (w/ Mr. Fuji)

A pretty decent match. The team of Vader, Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith is a bit of an oddball, but the same could be said for Yoko, Jake and Ahmed. A good show all around.

Dave Meltzer Rating: ** ^^1/2

Match Two: Stone Cold Steve Austin (w/ "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase defeated Savio Vega

Give me a hell yeah! SCSA's WrestleMania debut was an ok match. No one knew what they had in Austin quite yet, but he had a good showing.

Dave Meltzer Rating: **

Match Three: The Ultimate Warrior defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley (w/ Sable)

Triple H also had his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania XII. Not the best of matches but not horrible.

Dave Meltzer Rating: Dud

Match Four: The Undertaker (5-0) (w/ Paul Bearer) defeated Diesel

This might have been the closest match to ending the Streak, if only because the Streak wasn't really that important yet and Diesel was a mega-star at the time. A good match.

Dave Meltzer Rating: ** ^^1/4

Match Five: Hollywood Backlot Brawl: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper defeated Goldust (w/ Marlena)

And the WrestleMania debut of Goldust to boot. Starting to see more and more attitude era stars. A pretty poor match though, nothing to write home about.

Dave Meltzer Rating: NR

Match Six: Iron Man Match for the WWF Championship: "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels (w/ Jose Lothario) defeated Bret "The Hitman" Hart (c)

Hi all. This is the fourteenth part of a series I’m putting together called 30 Matches for 30 'Manias (very loosely inspired by ESPN’s 30 for 30 series). In the lead-up to WrestleMania XXX on April 6, I’ll be reviewing one match from each and every WrestleMania, with my last article highlighting an as-yet-undetermined match from WrestleMania XXX itself. These won’t be typical wrestling reviews, however; you won’t see detailed recaps of the nuts-and-bolts of the bouts, and there won’t be a star rating in sight. Instead, I’d like to do my best to put these matches into a proper historical, cultural, and artistic context from the perspective of someone who has been a fan of pro wrestling and WWE for almost a quarter of a century.

Links to previous entries in this series can be found here.

And now, today’s article:

30 Matches for 30 'Manias: Stepping Stones (WrestleMania XIV: The Rock vs. Ken Shamrock)

What is the anatomy of stardom? How does one individual, otherwise limited by the everyday inertia of the status quo, break away from the pack and become a legend? In professional wrestling, the answer is usually twofold: hard work and a helping hand from others. At WrestleMania XIV, The Rock benefitted from both and took his first quantum leap forward towards WWE immortality.

The case of Dwayne Johnson is a unique one in WWE history. Unlike stars like Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and even Hulk Hogan, The Rock didn’t have the benefit of a territory system to help him learn his craft, nor did he have to scratch and claw for his big break. As one of the first third-generation pro wrestlers, the son of Rocky Johnson and grandson of “High Chief” Peter Maivia had a pedigree that granted him every opportunity one could imagine – and his natural size, strength, and good looks didn’t hurt. Johnson was signed by the WWF after only a few months of training and a very brief stint in the remnants of the Memphis territory, and not long thereafter, he made his debut at the 1996 Survivor Series, where the announcers expounded on his “blue-chip” prospect status and where Rocky Maivia, as he was originally known, overcame several established WWF stars to win the elimination match for his team. He had the rocket strapped to his back from the very start.

This type of preferential treatment, however, is no guarantee of success. Despite Johns

So when all was said and done, Wrestlemania will end up being one of the most memorable wrestling shows of the modern era. And not for the wrestling.

Not that the wrestling wasn't good, as it was solid, surprising in spots, and some very gutsy performances in others. But the show itself, tremendously well produced, almost designed to be a 13 years after the original rebirth of the new-look World Wrestling Federation and coronation of Steve Austin as the new Hulk Hogan along with an attempt to become the symbolic ushering in a new hot period for pro wrestling. Of course, Austin realistically was given the spot as the WWF's top banana one year ago at Wrestlemania, ironically in a match that he technically lost. And the new hot period of wrestling has been building for more than two years, and much of its success isn't even due to the WWF. But 13 years ago, all wasn't as it seemed either when the original story was written.

Mike Tyson's involvement, the big story, was limited and really predictable, even though most of the recent television was to create a swerve away from the obvious. If anyone wasn't a WWF fan and bought the show specifically for Tyson, they would have had to have been disappointed, although by this point they should be used to it buying Tyson PPV events. Probably most others may have been lured in by the Tyson name, and recognized afterwards his involvement was limited, but probably enjoyed the event as a show. Tyson, at

I am plugging wrestlers from 20 years ago into storylines from today! Spoilers for those that don't keep up with the dirt sheets.

Vic Venom and Good Ol' Jim Ross host an episode of WWF Livewire that takes a lot of questions about Wrestlemania XIV. They talk about former Women's Boxing Champion, Christy Martin and her signing with the WWF. They also talk about the feud between The Rock and Vader over the WWF World Title.

However, most of the questions were about the Wrestlemania XIV card. They said that the card so far is as follows...

• Vader (c) w/ Jim Cornette v The Rock for the WWF World Title

• Lex Luger v The Undertaker

• Bob Backlund & Christy Martin v Sunny & Ric Flair

• Sting (c) v Jushin "Thunder" Liger for the WWF Title

• Bam Bam Bigelow, Vince McMahon and Owen Hart in a program

• The Royalty (British Bulldog & Triple H) (c) v Kane for the WWF Raw Tag Team Titles

• Marc Mero (c) v Shawn Michaels v Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title

• The Headshrinkers (c) v The Nation of Domination v Southern Justice for the WWF Tag Team Titles

• Alundra Blayze (c) v Bull Nakano for the WWF Women's Title

• Cherry Bomb (c) v Aja Kong for the WWF Raw Women's Title

• Jake "The Snake" Roberts (c) v "Glorious" Shane Douglas v Tiger Ali Singh for the WWF US Title

• Ron Killings v Super Calo for the WWF Light-Heavyweight Title

• Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

• Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal

They end it by saying that Moolah will be competing in the Women's Battle Royal. What do you think of the card? Will you be harrassing your parents for $59.95 to order it on Pay-Per-View?
