I've seen WM1, but have absolutely no recollection of Mean Gene singing the national anthem, haha.

Jericho versus the legends was interesting because of Ricky Steamboat still able to loving go with Jericho.

I am going to be so loving sad if this is anything less than a rousing success.

My only fear is that they are going to only show 2-3 of them and run them into the ground like WWE loves to do.

Edit: Wrestlemania!

I never understood why Mean Gene sang the national anthem on a show featuring multiple professional musicians.

musicals are garbage
That Buddy Rose blow away ad was seriously amazing. They need a 30 minute show where they show nothing but those weird wrestling vignettes.

Yeah, it's pretty lovely. HHH / Orton was a mess, Edge / Big Show / Cena was an even bigger clusterfuck, and it had Santino winning the Miss WrestleMania battle royal.

Oh, and Jericho beating up Snuka's corpse.

I forgot how early this show started until I noticed the clock behind Gene. Wrestlemania starting at 1:45. A simpler age.

So why did they use Buddy Rose for this anyway? I mean it could have been literally anyone. I think he was still wrestling Portland at this point.

At the end of the PPV, the winner of the main event will point to it, assisting the crowd in finding their way out.
