Rock vs. 'Taker would be huge assuming 'Taker still has more in him.

# 4) Evolution (Triple H, Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista): This faction dominated the early 2000s and were very impressive capturing numerous championships between them - typically with HHH as World Champ, Orton as I-C champ and Batista and Flair as tag champs. The group would build up Orton & Batista and helped turn them into megastars. Arguably as close to the Four Horsemen as the WWE ever got.

# 3) The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart & "Loose Cannon" Brian Pillman): In 1997, this faction was red hot and honestly I suspect played a part in helping turn the tide back in WWF's favor during the Monday Night Wars- the whole U.S. vs. Canada (and the World) rivalry was very well done.

J.R. is calling this. Happening early, only an hour into the show.

Undertaker has virtually no hair.

Undertaker wins to go an unmatched 20-0 at 'Mania.

 :thumbup: to that. Rock vs. Taker would be cool if possible in the future. They never faced each other at Wrestlemania before.

Read Brock Lesnar might have signed with WWE and Batista is also rumored as being at the show. Wonder if they'll play a part?

Factions...

# 2) The Nation (The Rock, Owen Hart, D-Lo Brown, The Godfather and Mark Henry): I really enjoyed watching this group circa 1998 and they had a great run together and a memorable feud with D-X. Really helped build most of these guys up at the time and many went on to have greater success later on. There were several other versions of The Nation of Domination but I consider this group to be by far the most successful.

# 1) The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson and manager J.J. Dillon, the earliest version with Ole Anderson was pretty solid too, other versions much less so)

I considered adding the Ministry and the Corporation too but ultimately decided against it but yeah I really enjoyed those two factions which eventually merged in the late 90s. Another underrated faction that was pretty good was The Varsity Club (Kevin Sullivan, Mike Rotundo & Rick Steiner and later Sullivan, Rotundo, Steve "Dr. Death" Williams and Dan Spivey). And yeah the Brood, also part of the Ministry at one point, were pretty good too. Helped launch Edge & Christian at any rate.

Some AJ Styles.  I like AJ Styles.

In retrospect, I likely would've added The Varsity Club in place of The Filthy Animals.  I was a big fan of The Ministry.  Corporation as well.  Seemed kinda weird merging them.  But I remember this:
"It's me, Austin!"...and then...CEO Austin.

I love classic real wrestling from 1987 back.

Was thinking of doing a top ten 'cruiserweight' thing.
10.) La Parka

9.) Lance Storm

Storm's fairly 'big' for a Cruiserweight.  But he fits the division as he's too 'small' to be a heavyweight, and is a former WCW Cruiserweight Champ.

We talk about that here.  Jase, I believe, is a big fan of the 'classic' timeframe.  I like what I can find on youtube, as having been born in the mid-'80s I'm mostly familiar with the newer stuff.
