I don't know how they're gonna just ignore their own history.

Easy. The 8 year olds have probably never even heard of WrestleMania X-Seven. So, if WWE doesn't tell them about it, it never happened.

Yeah, but what 8 year old these days gets to watching wrestling without having somebody older getting them into it first? Wrestling fandom tends to run in the family usually lol... I'm sure someone has informed the tikes this isn't the first time they wrestled in some fashion.

Plus, like I mentioned 10,000 times before, if a kid is that much of a fan, they would have already found out about their last match already through the internet. YouTube is a wonderful thing.

WWE ignoring it shows how stupid this match is. It's totally thrown together, I don't care how many folks say it's been in the cards for months. If this is honestly the best they can do, I'm afraid for the future lol.

Yeah, but those guys gone...

it could have something to do with the fact that back then it wasnt so much about the streak and more about the hatred they had for one another as the streak wasnt so powerful back then and now its about ending the streak which means there is a fresh backstory

 

[Do Your Fcking Job]

This makes no sense.

Most people who go to, or order wrestlemania, are the older male fans, not little kids.

90& of the audience will remember the match at WM17.

They still could mention it to build up the fued. Because right now there's no backstory without it.

This is stupid!
Nothing more, nothing less.
Just stupid.

True true, one thing that baffles me though is they are ignoring it to make Trips seemingly have legitimate chance of ending the streak ahead of everyone else yet the build has been the same as every Mania match Taker has had in the last 6 years (minus the recent HBK one). Saying how they're 'going to be the man end the streak', when i'm sure a good 85% of fans know Trips ain't going to win. As year in year out it's the same result when they say they're going to end it. Minus the recent HBK as I said as that was MUCH more believable.

kids and teens don't care enough to go back and watch past shows.

 

[Phenom]

They shouldn't ignore it, they should build on it.

If I was part of WWE Creative, I'd recount the previous bout as a clash of two very different men, because, quite frankly, it was; Triple H was a heel, and the Undertaker was just a biker. And I'd fashion a tale of how both men have come into their own in the ensuing years, with each tapping into their awesome match prowess since their last match.

Not exactly 100% true, but that would be the way I'd spin it.

 

[D17]

The kids fair enough but not too sure about the teens, teens these days spend half their life on the net surely a past Mania (they will/would come across it at some stage) encounter would spark interest so they atleast watch it.

 

[Hotdiggity11]

Makes sense. They are trying to build HHH up as Taker's biggest threat to ending the streak ever in the year 2011. Bringing up WM17 will kill the momentum behind the threat. And so what if the majority of fans already know about it? What's the point of bringing it up to satisfy those people?

 

[Poppin' Fresh]

They showed it on video packages last year, which is the most ridiculous thing. Every year building up to the streak they show a VT of his wins so far, will they just do away with that this year, or cut out the WM X-7 match?

They spend alot of time on the net, but they ain't watching old WWF matches.

Teens are about the here and the now, i can't remember the last time i overheard my nephews talking about an old song or album.

 

[federerthegreatest]

This is a poor decision, why don't they just build on it using Triple H's successes since then, and how he is now bigger and better.

 

[Shazayum]

I think a match that took place 10 years ago really has no relevance right now. A lot, kayfabe, has changed.

 

[sharkboy22]

:lmao

Typical dirtsheet writing. They realize the IWC are in sissy fits because Taker/HHH at WM 17 ha gotten no recognition at all, so they write this crap.
