WrestleMania XIV

1. Legion Of Doom won a battle royal

Well this, like most battle royals, was pretty bad. They kept it short and it is best forgotten, except Sunny's outfit that is.

Rating: .25 (out of 5)

2. TAKA Michinoku defeated Aguila by pinfall

This was sort of an exhibition type match, where both guys showed off what they could do. Oddly enough, Aguila got more of the exciting offense in.

Rating: 2.5

3. Triple H defeated Owen Hart by pinfall

This was a solid little match where you could see flashes of Triple H becoming a main eventer.

Rating: 3.5

4. Marc Mero and Sable defeated Goldust and Luna by pinfall

This is a very underrated match. Sure, it's no technical classic, but the crowd was way into it and all 4 performers gave a great effort. This is what I'd consider a popcorn match.

Rating: 3.5

5. The Rock defeated Ken Shamrock by disqualification

I have no idea why these guys got shafted on time because they could have put a good match on. What was here, was solid.

Rating: 2.5

6. Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie defeated The New Age Outlaws to win the Tag Team Championships

This match has not aged well. It's still fun to see Funk and Foley in the same match, but this seems very tame.

Rating: 2.25

7. Undertaker defeated Kane by pinfall

This was actually quite a bit better than I remembered. It was a typical big man match, but a well thought out one.

Rating: 1.5

8. Steve Austin defeated Shawn Michaels by pinfall to win the WWF Championship

***Match Of The Night***

Wow, what a match. Especially once you find out how much pain Michaels was in, you appreciate this even more. A perfect ending to the year's biggest show.

Rating: 4.5

Well, this show is really the one that put WWF ahead of WCW. The show had a good pace to it and the main event more than delivered. Big thumbs up here.

Overall Rating: 85%
