 Two legends meet head-on HHH v THE UNDERTAKER .
To be the best, you have to beat the best.
For seven years, Triple H has been the man at the top of the mountain. The Game has done it all, including multiple reigns as World Wrestling Federation Champion.
But for the past 10 years, the Undertaker has been burying people under that mountain. The Dead Man's track record in the World Wrestling Federation is unparalleled -- perhaps surpassing even that of Triple H.
In the past seven years, Undertaker and Triple H have NEVER met one-on-one on Pay-Per-View. Sure, Triple H cheered on Shawn Michaels as his DX cohort took on the Undertaker in the first-ever "Hell in the Cell" match back in 1997, but the Game has never met the Undertaker in a high-profile match-up.
That will change at WrestleMania X-Seven, when two World Wrestling Federation legends meet up on the biggest stage in sports entertainment!
 The Boy Wonder is back
In an attempt to put Trish Stratus in her place, Vince publicly humiliated her on an episode of RAW, forcing Trish to bark like a dog and to strip to her underwear. Vince liked the humiliation so much that that Thursday on SmackDown!, he wheeled his catatonic wife to the stage and forced her to watch him and Trish play tonsil hockey!
The following Monday on RAW, Vince and Trish were cavorting in the ring when the familiar sounds of "No Chance in Hell" starting echoing throughout the arena. Vince screamed at the audio technicians to turn his music off, but the music wasn't for him -- it was for Shane!
After a six-month absence from the Federation, the Boy Wonder walked out to the stage, and the fans erupted! The look of anger on Shane's face and the look of unbridled fear on Vince's face told the entire story. As Shane would explain in an interview that Thursday, with each step he took to the ring, he grew angrier and angrier and angrier.
Once Shane stepped in the ring and looked his father in the eye, he exploded! Shane would later say that a small part of him was sickened by attacking his own father, but a small part of him liked it. Shane also said that watching Vince's actions as of late made him ashamed to carry the McMahon name.
The Boy Wonder came out on RAW the following week and challenged his father to a match at WrestleMania! Vince accepted, and then he, Stephanie and Triple H beat down Shane -- with Vince even telling his son that he would never forgive Linda for giving birth to him! The attack continued to the backstage area, where Vince stuffed Shane into a limo and then told him that their WrestleMania match would be a street fight!
The most emotional and intense battle between father and son will go down on Pay-Per-View at WrestleMania X-Seven, on Sunday, April 1!
 Over the past 365 days, three teams have dominated the World Wrestling Federation: the Hardy Boyz, the Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian. In the past year, those three tandems have combined for 11 Tag Team Championship reigns, and some of the most brutal matches in Federation history.
One year after lighting the Federation on fire with a stunning Triangle Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000, these six men again enter WrestleMania with the titles on the line. Only this time, it's in TLC II -- the rematch of the SummerSlam classic.
Three other variables will be in play on April 1 at WrestleMania X-Seven -- namely, Lita, Spike Dudley and Rhyno. Each team has a huge asset in their corner -- and one can only wonder what will happen when the you-know-what hits the fans in TLC II!
Chris Jericho has been a thorn in William Regal's side ever since Regal became World Wrestling Federation Commissioner a few weeks back. Whether it be interrupting Regal's promos, interfering in matches, or -- um -- urinating in Regal's tea, Y2J has been a constant nuisance to the goodwill ambassador.
At WrestleMania, it will be the Intercontinental Champion against the commish -- on April 1, someone will be besmirched!
At last year's WrestleMania, a two-fall Triple Threat Match was held for Kurt Angle's Intercontinental and European Championships. That match involved Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Angle. When the dust had settled, Benoit was the Intercontinental Champion, Jericho was the European Champion -- and Angle left WrestleMania empty-handed.
There's no gold on the line this year when Benoit and Angle meet one-on-one -- just pride. But for two of the most intense competitors in the World Wrestling Federation, that's all they need on the line. These two submission specialists will be looking to tear each other apart at WrestleMania, and neither wants to suffer the ultimate indignity -- that being tapping out to the other's submission maneuver.
Which of these blue-chippers will emerge victorious from WrestleMania X-Seven? It will be a battle between the ankle lock and the crossface this Sunday!
The Big Show and Kane are monsters -- two former World Wrestling Federation Champions who leave a devastating path of destruction in their wake.
Raven is also a top competitor, and also the Hardcore Champion. But he faces the unenviable situation of having to defend his title against two 7-foot monsters with bad intentions.
Crash may have been the Houdini of Hardcore, but it is Raven who will have to be a true magician to leave this match with his title intact!
This match is personal. Real personal.
The day after Armageddon, Ivory was a part of a vicious attack on Chyna. The Right to Censor delivered a spike piledriver to the Ninth Wonder of the World, putting her out of action for a month. At January's Royal Rumble, Chyna tried to return to the ring against Ivory, but it was too soon, and Ivory again put Chyna on the Federation's disabled list.
But adversity has never stopped Chyna before. Will the Ninth Wonder of the World climb back to the top of the mountain at the biggest show of the year? Will she get revenge against the woman who put her out of action not once, but twice? These questions will be answered at WrestleMania X-Seven!
Test is the European Champion. Eddie Guerrero is a former European Champion, considered by many to be the greatest European Champion of all time.
It was the day after WrestleMania last year when Eddie first won the title. "Latino Heat" went on to hold the title for four months, before losing it to fellow Radical Perry Saturn in July. Guerrero went on to win the Intercontinental Championship in September, and he held that title for three months.
Since winning the title from William Regal the day after the Royal Rumble, Test has been enjoying a two-month reign, in what has been his most successful run as a singles competitor ever. But now he's got a fired-up "Latino Heat" breathing down his neck.
Will Eddie fail the Test? Or will the European Champion fall victim to the Latino Heat?
A new match has been added to the card at WrestleMania X-Seven, and it's unlike any other contest in World Wrestling Federation history. The match is being called the Gimmick Battle Royal, and it'll feature the greatest gimmicks of all time in one ring.

Since the Right to Censor first formed last June, the APA has been one of their greatest rivals. Faarooq and Bradshaw love to drink, love to smoke, and love scantily-clad women -- three things which the extremist group claims to detest!
Tazz recently joined the APA in the fight against the Right to Censor, after the SmackDown! color commentator got fed up with their leader, Steven Richards.
At WrestleMania X-Seven, Tazz and the APA will take on the Right to Censor in a six-man war involving six of the toughest men in the World Wrestling Federation!
