Everyone knew Taker was going to win, it was one of those matches though you have to watch b/c it doesn't matter who won or lost.

They did a damn good job making it look like HBK had a chance though.
When guys like HBK, Taker and Jericho retire, I don't think I can watch wrestling anymore. All the new up and comers can't even tell a fucking story in a match like those guys.

Seriously. If the future is about guys like Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr., I'm going to finally stop watching it unless i have insomnia.

I'd take DiBiase and Rhodes over a talentless fuck like that Jack Swagger dude. The only thing worse than his wrestling is his name.
That's where I blame WWE for ruining wrestling. They have these farm territories that don't teach their wrestlers good ring psychology. They wrestle on PPVs like its an episode of Raw.

I haven't seen this Jack Swagger character; but if Rhodes and DiBiase are better than him, its a very sad future for wrestling.
On a side-noe, I wonder when they're going to call up DH Smith to the main roster.

Before he got called up reports were Cody was great in the ring and a natural at cutting promos. He has been anything but since his call up.

I think the match looked good on a shitty night but I didn't think it was all that great of a match. It had a decent ending I'll give it that because the only time of the night I was drawn in was to wonder whether Taker may actually lose after that Super kick. But other than that I didn't think much of it.
Off the top of my head Wrestlemania matches I liked better
Savage/Steamboat obviously
Austin/Hart
Taker/HHH
Rock/Austin
Hogan/Warriot (say what you will but they practiced hard and put on a show
Savage/Flair
Owen/Bret
Savage/Hogan
HBK/Ramon
Hart/Piper
Angle/Lesnar
Angle/Benoit
HBK/Benoit/HHH
Eddie/Angle
Angle/HBK

The reason I rate this match so highly is everyone knew Taker was going to win. But they managed to get fans on edge and actually got you thinking HBK might end the streak. Even the two botches by HBK and Taker looked like they were planned that way. I don't know I can't tell you the last time I marked out during a match like that.

The last time I marked for anything was Hogan/Rock. But that was the little boy in me coming out.
I get what you mean. It had me wondering too, but in the end one great aspect of a pretty good match isn't enough to rank it with the best ever.

You would really put Savage/Hogan above this match ? Don't get me wrong Macho carried Hogan to a good match but the ending killed anything they did during the match. Macho controlled the entire match and out of no where Hogan Hulks up and wins. Thats how all his matches ended back in the day but this instance I think was one of Hogans worst Hulking up moments.
