@@leerobbo92 wwe needs to learn from this show. Pacing is a huge problem with modern day manias(apart from wm37). Not every match has to be 10+ mins. Give time to the title matches and the grudge matches but keep the small matches short and sweet. I liked wm 37 because both nights flew by and were short.
@leerobbo923 жыл бұрын
@@JungleBunkRootsMusic2022 Yeah exactly, it's very much a Western problem, same with AEW. Even Benoit and Angle only got 15 minutes, Jericho and Regal had to work with 7 minutes. Top guys, unreal workers with their own fanbases, but WWE understood that everyone was there for TLC2 and Rock-Austin. It's something New Japan understand really well too, only the very top guys ever get more than 15 minutes to work with, and usually they get the full 30 minutes just to make their best seem bigger and better. Always save all the 20 minute matches for the end of the card too. Such a small change makes such a huge psychological difference when watching their events!
@5fing3rD3athPunch3 жыл бұрын
the Austin vs Rock video package alone makes WrestleMania X7 one of the greatest, also this event is proof you can have a lot of matches on a card and not have it last 5 hours with fan burnout because not every match needs to go 20 minutes like they do these days and the card builds and builds to the bigger matches and moments whereas today cards are all over the place in terms of pacing.

Only thing that wasn’t great about WMX7 was the storyline build. WWF had such a great first half of 2000 but the second half was a bit of a clusterf*** with Rock a four month champion (good but they used him to build upper mid carders) and a big Stone Cold Triple H feud which effectively ended a month before WM. Angle’s title reign was completely pointless as he wasn’t quite main event tier at that point. They should just have kept the strap on Rock. All of the upper card singles matches were slapped together at the last minute.

I’d say many factors. The build/buzz around the event was at an all time high coming off one of the companies best years ever (2000) and Royal Rumble and No Way Out 2001 being massively praised PPV’s The main event of The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin was massive because they were the companies biggest baby faces (Austin in 1998-1999 and The Rock in 1999-2000). The star power is the biggest a card for a wrestling show has ever been, more so in hindsight because a ton of the wrestlers on this card would go on to win multiple world titles but even just at the time in 2001 they were still big stars because the promotion was so popular that everyone felt like a big deal. It’s why guys like Drew and Roman are struggling to breakout into the main stream because everything around them is so mediocre fans don’t want to be around it. Which is a shame because Drew and Reigns are brilliant. The match quality and PPV structure was also excellent, it all followed nicely and the matches that no one cared about didn’t go long. Like what Jack said about Takeover New Orleans this show whilst is remembered as one of the best wrestling shows ever is also considered the end of the Attitude Era and the beginning of the end of wrestling being massive in pop culture, I would disagree with that because Raw the next night drew well over 5 million viewers (a million more then the previous week) but WWE have never been able to top the near perfectness of this show. They have got close with SummerSlam 2002, WrestleMaina 30, WrestleMaina 19, Money In The Bank 2011 but non have ever had a bigger impact on the business and what it represents more then WrestleMaina 17. I call it WrestleMaina because you don’t call WrestleMaina ‘WrestleMaina XXX’ because that would be silly😂😂
