Answer: Handicap Tag Match

The match was originally slated to be a Tag Team Match, with Taker's partner being Nathan Jones. However, a couple of hours prior to the match, Big Show and A-Train, with the help of Nunzio, attacked the Aussie and basically kept him from assisting The Undertaker in the match.

The match was then made into a Handicap Tag Match, with Taker fending off the two behemoths. At one point in the match, Taker went "Old School" and floored A-Train. Then Big Show entered the ring and he and A-Train ganged up on Taker.

Answer: False

Toward the end of the match, just as it seemed that Taker was actually going to lose, Nathan Jones came running to the ring. However, before he reached the ring, Show met him. Jones took out the big guy and ran to the ring. As Taker was throwing A-Train against the ropes, Jones entered and hit A-Train with a spinning heel kick to the face. That allowed Taker to give A-Train the "Tombstone Piledriver," and pin him for the win. After the match, Taker proudly held up Old Glory as he walked around the ring.

This "Wrestlemania" marked Taker's twelfth win at a "Wrestlemania." Taker won in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2003.

The bed was near the ring and Kitana and Tonya walked to it and climbed on as Coach introduced them. Just then, Stacy Kiebler came to the bed and said she wanted to get involved and make it a Triple Threat Match.

At one point, Hunter had Booker in a sleeper hold, and brought the Texas native to his knees. Then Triple H used a submission move that he never used before, a move that Flair used in his NWA days, the "Indian Death Lock." Flair was on the outside of the ring egging Hunter on.

The match between was Hogan and McMahon was good, but not as good as McMahon's previous matches. The Street Match started with McMahon going at Hogan, locking hands, and forcing him to his knees. Hogan fought back and McMahon rolled out of the ring, but Hogan went after him. On the outside of the ring, Hogan grabbed a chair and hit Vince over the head, and laid him on the Spanish announce table and hit him again. Dazed, Vince countered with a low-blow, and took control. Vince grabbed the chair and hit Hogan with it.

Still on the outside of the ring, McMahon pummeled Hogan with the chair, then dropped it and went for a ladder. After setting up the ladder, Hogan countered just as McMahon was about to climb. The two battled it out and Vince knocked Hogan out on the "Smackdown" announce table. then Vince climbed the ladder and, imitating Hogan, hit his victim with an "Atomic Leg Drop."

The match was then brought back into the ring, when Hogan and Vince continued to battle. After flooring Hogan, Vince pinned him, but Hogan got his shoulder up at the two count. McMahon then gets out of the ring and, reaching under the ring, retrieved a steel pipe and climbed into the ring. Just as Vince was about to hit Hogan with the steel pipe, Hogan countered with a low-blow and fell back to the mat.

As both combatants were down in the ring, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper ran into the ring wearing a black trenchcoat, and removed it. Piper, wearing his WWF paraphernalia, picked up the pipe and went for Vince. Everyone thought he was going to help Hogan win the match, but then Piper went for Hogan and hit him with the pipe and got out of the ring. As Piper was walking toward the entrance ramp, Vince crawled over to Hogan and pinned him. However, much to McMahon's and Piper's surprise, Hogan kicked out at two.

Answer: 3

After Hogan kicked out at two following Piper's interference, Vince attacked Brian Hebner and tossed him out of the ring. Vince then grabbed the pipe and hit Hogan, knocking him out. However, since there wasn't a referee, a new one came running out, and it was the same referee that helped The Rock win at "No Way Out." The new referee didn't get a chance to count the pin because Hogan 'hulked up' and went back at Vince and the new referee. Hogan threw McMahon to the ropes and hit him with a clothesline. With McMahon down, Hogan hit Vince with an "Atomic Leg Drop," and then because he felt like it, hit him with two more and pinned him, just as Brian Hebner crawled back into the ring to count to three. Hogan won the match, much to McMahon's consternation.

Answer: Shane

After the match, with Vince sprawled out on the mat, Shane walked to the ring. He seemed leery of entering it because Hogan was still in there. However, Hogan sat on the second rope and held it open for the younger McMahon. Shane walked over to his father to see how he was.

Answer: Free Style Bow and Arrow

The match between Lesnar and Angle for the WWE Heavyweight Championship was perhaps the best technical match in history. Lesnar and Angle are two former amateur wrestlers, and one was able to see some of the amateur wrestling peeking through.

The match started off with Angle getting the best of Lesnar, but Lesnar fought back, hard. During the match, Angle used an amateur submission move called the "Free Style Bow and Arrow," which hurt Lesnar's bruised ribs. Lesnar got out of the submission hold, and went for Angle, but Angle fought back. Angle hit Lesnar with four German suplexes (three in a row and one a few minutes later), two "Ankle Locks," and a half Boston Crab, but every time Lesnar fought back. The tides then turned in Lesnar's favor.

Answer: False

Lesnar's luck turned when he rolled up Angle in a small package, but then Angle kicked out. Then Lesnar grabbed Angle and hit him with the "F5," and covered him, but Angle kicked out. Lesnar then hit Angle with a second "F5," but didn't go for the pin.

Instead, Lesnar dragged Angle closer to the ropes, and climbed to the top turnbuckle and went for the "Shooting Star Press," but missed. Angle seized upon Lesnar's error, and covered him but Lesnar kicked out at two. The two men went at each other, then Lesnar grabbed Angle and hit him with the third and last "F5," and pinned him to win the WWE Heavyweight Championship.

After the match, Angle walked up to Lesnar and extended his hand. The two shook and then hugged each other.
