(Imagine reading this post in sepia tone for maximum effect)
In days gone by, WrestleMania was seen as the SuperBowl of wrestling, the World Series, the World Cup finals, the end of season finale. Things would come to a head, climatic feuds would end and so on.
Then as the years went on, Backlash poked it's cloning experiment gone awry head through the door. With decaying flesh hanging off its raw monstrous body, it gave us a chance to watch some 'Mania matches again, filling up a month of the traditional post-Mania slump and THEN things got going again.
Nowadays, however, it seems like nothing was resolved at 'Mania. Orton/HHH seems to have just started really, the SmackDown love triangle will likely continue, Matt and Jeff have only just fired the opening salvo of their feud. The only things seemingly settled were the under card Jericho/Legends feud and Michaels/Taker, both of which could go to Backlash in some form.
So what is WrestleMania? The end of the season, the beginning? Something else entirely?
