RAW After Mania (March 15th, 2004) – We Don’t Talk About This One

So… the night before this show was Wrestlemania 20… featuring a main event World title match that we don’t talk about anymore… because it features someone of dubious reputation and stuff.

But honestly, this was a nothing show. There was a really good segment between McSon-In-Law and [REDACTED] to open the show, a bunch of nothing happening stuff in between that would’ve meant more if I were watching these weekly, and a solid tag-team main between [REDACTED] and HBK going over Evolution.

I say “We Don’t Talk About This One” in the title bar because it’s the night after Mania 20 and the night [REDACTED] won the title in an emotional end to the show that I can’t watch anymore, but the truth is there’s nothing to talk about and that’s why we don’t talk about this one.

Maybe next year’s show will be better.

Yep.

Oh, yes, kids. We’re diving into the McSon-In-Law years for this one.

Wrestlemania XIX was an interesting little thing. It saw Stone Cold Steve Austin have his last match ever, it saw Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon beat the shit out of each other, Chris Jericho pretty much resuscitating Shawn Michaels’ career, and Brock Lesnar defeating Kurt Angle to win back the WWE Championship that he was screwed out of months prior.

Oh… and McSon-In-Law retained his Big Gold Belt by pinning Booker T, who had been laying in the ring for five years after getting hit with a Pedigree…

I don’t want to watch this show… but I must… or not… fuck it, let’s do it…
