Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Forgettable Wrestlemania Matches

Number 10: Maven vs. Goldust: Wrestlemania X-8

Goldust

With a pretty solid card at Wrestlemania 18, featuring Jericho/Triple H and Rock/Hogan, there was bound to be a moment that should not have ever happened. With winning Tough Enough, WWE really wanted to invest time and effort into Maven, a guy that had more of a generic look than ANY character on WWF No Mercy on Nintendo 64. This was for the Hardcore Championship, and was simply terrible. Maven and Goldust was randomly thrown together, and had basically no reason to be at Wrestlemania. Yeah, they only wasted 3 minutes, but that is all you needed to know. At a time where hardcore wrestling was flooding into the WWE, you are telling me they couldn’t have had a better pairing? Thankfully, Maven did not last long after this. It is ashame his biggest accomplishment was elimination Undertaker in a Royal Rumble match. What is even more ashame is that someone thought that was a good idea.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
