I know X8 isn't as highly regarded as other Manias, Especially when it had to live up to X7 and then was followed by XIX, but without a doubt the atmosphere and aesthetics of the event is legendary to me, The large crowd and the lighting of this event (and most WWE PPV's at the time) looked incredible on VHS and felt like the definitive look of a major wrestling event. I'm pretty sure those pan out shots of the crowd when Austins taunting and celebrating on the ropes have been used in video packages on TV, in documentaries and video games for years to come. I'm pretty the wide shot at 3:56 was used in the story mode menu background for the first SVR game.

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Hall with one of the best stunner sells ever. The medium-sized meng got AIR.

Daniel Kerley

Tony and I both said "it's Wrestlemania" at the same time when Johnny said "the boys are really selling tonight!"

NO PEPPERONI PENNE FOR PULSE, NO TURKEY TETRAZINI FOR TONY, AND NO JABRONI JAMBALAYA FOR JAWNNY BROTHER

Cracked a couple mengweisers for this one

Bobby Adams

silver bullet was coors light, fyi

THECRIMSON FUQER

it's a really old saying. A lot of new slang words/phrases are just recycled from previous generations.

The Lebron James of Guzzling Bratwurst Dick The Cock Johnson

Dude. The match was fine & competently working. But what fucks me up so royally is how STONE COLD is out there, working his ass off, and it is soooooo quiet.

450 splash no clothes style

Hall with the nWo penis trunks is cracking me up; kinda looks like he's wearing them backwards style

Wrestling has more than one DICK THE COCK JOHNSON

Seen a deez nuts sign in the crowd, was that a thing then or time traveller?(It's behind Austin when he's celebrating)

Booger Meng vs Booger Rattlesnake

Ron Corleone

They mentioned it on one of the pods last year, but we talk about Hall a lot but actually seeing him feels very rare, even when he's in the company.

Please update the Sunday night heat retro sync link

I remember Kevin Nash saying in a shoot that Scott wasn’t afraid to lose because he knew he could rip anyone up on the mic and get his heat back if he needed to

Adam from Scotland - Tony why did you shattered dreams my dog now he shits out his mouth and barks out his ass datsnotcool mang

greased up ref guy

D.J.O.

Ayo chico…..YOU wanna WAR?

Felsin

Johnny not sure why Nash wasnt in a match. This is Kevin Nash, the king of working harder then everyone. You know they were planning something and he probably said "I should be out there with Hall, rough up Steve a bit. Would make him look strong ya know." Easy money baby

Chase 'Da Bag' Richardson

I think I remember Stone Cold on his podcast saying that he was.. Not Happy about having to work Hall in the lead up and build to this angle. Hall actually ended up doing the straight and narrow up to this match, but I don't think Stone Cold was about to not get some liberties in regardless

AfroBandito

If I remember JR's book right, they had Nash on standby in case Scott was unable to go in this Austin match.

Doing CZW spots on Tony's deck

This match completely fucked Hall for years.

Snappums

This was the first ever Wrestlemania I watched and I bought it from the local video store because I didn't have Sky TV.

Badnewsbrown202

Scott Hall was the most effortlessly cool wrestler ever.His movements in the ring, his mannerisms,promos, moveset,, everything was awesome. Definitely one of the GOATS 🐐 🙌🏾

Tyler's Cock and Sock Connection

This is that pre quad tear Nash who invented the 450 splash.

Marcus, Mr. Summers If You're Nasty

I'm pretty sure Flair was the one who bled crazy before this match

450 splash no clothes style

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Gerard Smith

Damn, Nash moved more in 20 minutes than he did in the previous 5 years.

JP Tuesday

According to Nash, he was the "stand by" opponent for Austin in case Hall couldn't perform. (AKA relapse)

He ain't DICK and he ain’t THE COCK, Don't wanna hear your big JOHNSON

That ref slide in was skeewoah as fuck

TheDman0310

YO BOI IS BOUNCYYYYY HELLL YEAHHHHHHH

great timing picking a match in the Toronto Skydome right when they're gonna be back in the building for another PPV just so we can see what a real house looks right

It's my life in a box and a box in my life

…Hhheyyo

BobbyEaton Dapusi The Long Way

I'm going to go find a Big meng a medium sized meng a Max Mini sized meng and regular sized Meng and have a Meng off.

Rikishi doing the bronco buster

According to the Wrestling Observer. Meltzer said that the reason Nash didn't have a match at X8 was due to having a "Gas Bubble."

Tom Vogel

Man, other than The Rock, Hall has to be one of the best sells for the Stunner. He's so good. And as for seeing Nash move like that, prob have to watch him playing for the Tennessee Vols basketball team to see it

Teryo Law for DPW Worlds champion

No idea why, but the ref sliding in and Kevin Nash timing that elbow drop perfectly is a core wrestling memory for me

Noted Bowser Simp

You want to Watch.... This?

Cory Chase vs Zandig for DPW Japan. BOOK IT!!!!!!!

mane got stunned and flew

Dweeb

Nash didn't have a match on the show in case he had to sub in for Hall. This despite the fact that, up until the week of when he found out the finish was being changed, Hall was sober for the entire run-in to Mania.

Dweeb

It goes even deeper than that with the nWo shirts Tony. For the pre-tapes and motion graphics Hall, Nash, and Hogan are each wearing different versions of the nWo shirt across the groups existence in WCW. Nash is wearing the original, which lacks the "new world order" subtitle text. Hogan is wearing the second version, which has the version of the logo WWE would use for the nWo. And Hall is wearing the nWo 2000 silver and black shirt.
