How could we forget?
I mean wasn't this just a one match show.
The attitude era was fun looking back I always remember alot of the undercard was just jobberific.

But, it had the epic, Rocky-like encounter between Bart Gunn and Butterbean.

Yea, it sucked. I enjoyed it at the time, but I was like 11 or 12. To this day, I still haven't given it a repeat viewing because there's really nothing worth watching again. I might do it again soon though, for nostalgias sake.

16 sucked too. The weird thing about those days is that Raw was great, but a lot of the PPVs really were crap

I don't think it's terrible but it doesn't really stand out except for being the first of The Rock and Austin trilogy and bossmans hanging.
IMO I think this is a case where the build up to mania was more memorable than mania its self.

I actually have this one recorded on a tape somewhere. It was kind of an odd pay-per-view looking back. for some reason, they switched between who was wrestling for Hardcore title and who was wrestling for the IC title, both where the New Age Outlaws. Big Show lost his match agaisnt Mankind, meaning he couldn't be the special guest ref for the main event, so Vince slapped him and Show quit the Corporation. Chyna turned on Kane and went back with Triple H, then Triple H and Chyna both turned on X-Pac and joined the Corporation, Kane left the Corporation as a result. They had that battle royal on Heat to see who would wrestle for the tag titles. Instead of Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown (who I think it supposed to be except Henry got injured) it was D'Lo and Test. Then it had that disapointing Hell in a Cell match that ended with the Undertaker and the Brood apparently killing the Bossman.

i cant get over that tag team match, who thought it would be great to put together the random tag team of D'Lo and Test at the last minute to challenge for the Tag Titles on the Biggest show of the year
excellent booking

16 sucked too. The weird thing about those days is that Raw was great, but a lot of the PPVs really were crap I wouldn't say 16 sucked. It had a few great matches. Benoit/Angle/Jericho 2 out of 3 falls, the triple threat ladder match, and the main event were all great (though HHH winning pissed me off big time, and still does kind of). I think the problem witb WM 2000 was that there weren't any singles matches. Which is funny because I didn't even notice that until last year.

Rocky should have won that match no questions asked, hell Austin could've done the run-in after McMahon turned on Rock, then had a symbolic staredown and beer bash with after Rock won it. That would be great for the video packages.

Yeah looking back, 15 wasn't so hot but it was the first Wrestlemania, heck, first PPV I ever ordered so I thought it was fantastic at the time. Never saw anything quite like it (since I've never seen any PPV up to that point yet).

Yeah WM 15 was pretty horrible and from what I remember one of the last ppvs I ordered up until recently. As much as people like to glorify the attitude era, the in ring product was pretty weak after Bret and Shawn left up until Jericho,Benoit,Guerrero,Malenko,Saturn,and Angle came in 1999/2000.

Now that you mentioned it, it kinda did suck. But when you actually look at the Card before watching the PPV for the first time. It didn't look like a bad card at all. But when the night was over, i think Vince McMahon went over his 1999 limit of run ins and messed up finishes.

it's one of my favorite Wrestlemanias I second this! Fantastic matches up and down the card? Not really. But every single person was mega-over at the time and every feud was interesting to me. WWF was probably at their peak, in terms of being "hottest" at this particular point in time. Love WM 15!
