"It is believed that the concept of the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania was born out of the big reaction Trish Stratus received when they were in Toronto for Raw last December. They figured to follow it up with her at the annual show, under the guise of bringing a number of female performers back. There is a rumor that Trish declined when she learned of WWE creative's plan to have Santina Marella win the match, but that is not confirmed.
Unfortunately for company officials, Trish Stratus, Amy "Lita" Dumas and Wendi Richter - the three big names they wanted to bring back - all declined.
In Richter's case, it is believed that at her age, she didn't want to be put in a position to be embarrassed body wise by being compared to the women of today. Richter is 47 years old and understandably looks nothing like she how she used to look during her heyday in the mid-1980s. Amy Dumas appeared at Booker T's charity fan fest event that took place in Houston during WrestleMania weekend.
Stratus must have peeved some people off during negotiations as there were some negative things said about the seven-time Women's Champion amongst management during WrestleMania weekend over her not being there." (source: sescoops.com)
I am not mad that Trish was a no-show at WM25. What do you guys think? comment pleasee. =)
"For months, the venomous Randy Orton tore through the life of Triple H, brutally attacking and injuring his father-in-law, brother-in-law and even his wife. At the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, The Legend Killer had an opportunity to take away yet another thing his rival held dear: The WWE Championship. Yet despite Orton's sadistic mind games, Triple H persevered, defeating his opponent to avenge his family and keep his coveted championship gold resting securely around his waist." (source: wwe.com)
After months of torture for Triple H and weeks of games for Randy Orton, Triple H finally proved that he is the number one superstar. In my opinion, Randy Ortons respect and legacy is RKOver. Triple H truly deserves to be the WWE Champion, and he proved that last night at Wrestlemania.
"And, at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, it was all of those traits, combined with steadfast determination and raw power that equaled success for The Champ." (source: wwe.com)
THE CHAMP IS HERE! I'm extremely happy to see that John Cena has taken back his title and is living up to his nickname once again. The champ is here, but really, was the champ ever gone? Cena came out every week and shined as the main eventer that he is and always will be. It looks like Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect pays off...
"For his part, Undertaker never once lost sight of his goal: Keeping his WrestleMania record unblemished. Now, in light of his monumental victory, Undertaker can rest - perhaps not "in peace" - but at least until he's called on to defend The Streak at next year's WrestleMania." (source: wwe.com)
I am proud to be able to watch Undertaker continue his undefeated Wrestlemania streak. One day, I'm going to be able to say, "I watched one of the scariest, darkest, oddest, most PHENOMenal wrestlers go 17-0 at Wrestlemania." That's quite an accomplishment by the Undertaker. Streaks are mean to be broken, but right now...if Mr. Wrestlemania can't do it, who can?
"Matt Hardy's mission to conquer his brother Jeff was completed at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, in a dream match for the WWE Universe that was unquestionably a nightmare scenario for the Hardy family." (source: wwe.com)
I, personally, amd upset that Matt won his match against Jeff. The heading on wwe.com is Matt: The better Hardy? I don't think so. Just because Matt won his match against Jeff does not mean that Matt is any better than Jeff. Jeff has all the accomplishments to be proud of, Matt? Matt has won championships, but not to the extent Jeff has. I am upset with Matt's jealous feelings towards Jeff. I say bring the Hardy Boys back and get Matt and Jeff back together.
