Triple H has only main evented 2 WrestleManias as a babyface. This is the second one. It is also bad. Sorry Triple H. Plz RT for awareness. Similar problems plagued this match between Trips and Y2J, two legends had already provided an emotional main event a few matches earlier, and the booking hamstrung how the match could be effectively booked.
Rock/Hogan left the Canada crowd pooped from cheering, but also, WWE really hadn’t booked a Triple H vs Chris Jericho feud going into the event. They’d booked a Triple H vs Stephanie McMahon feud, with the first ever undisputed champion perennially the third most important element at play. That meant, when the actual match started and the heel took control, Jericho didn’t have enough credible heat on him to provide that extra juice a match needs to draw the audience in for the big comeback.
Also, the production of the match was SO WEIRD. Trips entered to a shit Drowning Pool cover of his theme, and even worse, was no video package before the main event… of WrestleMania. The year after My Way? What the fuck are you playing at WWE? The last reminder to the audience and crowd of why they should care? Madness. And they really didn’t care. Sorry Triple H
