I think that having Hogan lose at WM was absolutely retarded. They tried to push The Rock to be the huge face, then when the fans boo'd him like hell, they didn't know what to do. Hogan should have won with the big legdrop. When Rock kicked out, I was like "F*ck this bullsh*t," because the only other person to kick out of the legdrop (to the best of my memory) is Vader, who is MUCH better than The Rock. Once Hogan "Hulked up" it would've been great to see him get Rock Bottomed then stand up and give The Rock the big boot and legdrop.

I think (hope) that in the upcoming weeks, The Rock trades on Hogan to join the nWo and become their new leader. It'd be awesome to see Hogan back in the Yellow & Red again, and having The Rock be a heel again is the only way I can truly see him being as over as he was before WM.

Even though Jericho is one of my favorite wrestlers (Has been since he fought Sabu in ECW!), I was happy that HHH beat him for the title. I just don't like Jericho playing the "serious heel" role; it kind of takes away from what he should be doing, playing the heel role who has hilarious mic. skills and gets over as a face AND a heel (much as he did when he first came to the WWF). Hopefully he'll feud with Benoit or something when Benoit comes back.

ZZZ, I agree with your comment that the order of the matches doesn't neccesarily determine their importance; but to have the Women's title match as the 2nd to last match on the card was just stupid. The fans looked to be bored to death during the main event, when they should have been springing off the walls. If they would've had Hogan/Rock right before HHH/Jericho, I think that the entire HHH/Jericho match would've had a lot more heat; because the fans were so riled up from Rock/Hogan, and it would've transfered right over into HHH/Jericho... But, WWF being the dumb SOB's that they are, decided that they'd put jobber matches before it and put everyone to sleep before the main event.

Last, RVD is my absolute favorite wrestler and has been for a long time. I'm happy that he's the intercontinental champion, but I hope that the WWF will decide to put him back at the main event level ASAP. RVD shines in the upper-card.
