Reviews

Owen Ogletree This is a strong WrestleMania, but there are too many useless filler matches on the card that bring the show down. I'm skipping those matches and I'm just reviewing the main matches.United States Championship Match: The Big Show (c) vs. John Cena - This match was a lot better than it had any right to be. It is interesting seeing John Cena in his mid-card days, and he got good pops from the crowd. Cena wins the championship with an FU. RATING: **3/4Chris Jericho vs. Christian - This was a very strong wrestling match. The psychology was well-done and they got a good amount of time to build some good drama. Christian wins when Trish Stratus hits Jericho. The post-match was certainly shocking. RATING: ***3/43-On-2 Handicap Match: Evolution vs. The Rock n' Sock Connection - This match was a lot of fun. It's just fast-paced action from bell to bell. The comedy bits from Ric Flair and The Rock were great. Mick Foley also did well in his first match in 4 years. Evolution wins with Randy Orton's RKO. RATING: ****Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as the Special Guest Referee - Horrible match. This defines the word "boring." Both men were leaving the company after this, and just really seemed to be going through the motions. Goldberg wins with the Jackhammer Slam. RATING: *WWE Championship Match: Eddie Guerrero (c) vs. Kurt Angle - This was an excellent technical wrestling match. These two had amazing chemistry, and the mind games were great. I also loved the clever finish. Eddie wins after fooling Kurt by unlacing his boot. RATING: ****1/2The Undertaker vs. Kane - Chilling entrance by the Undertaker. The match itself is pretty disappointing. It was way too short and it made Kane look weak. Their WM 14 match was way better. The Undertaker wins with a Tombstone Piledriver. RATING: *1/2Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H (c) vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit - This was a near-perfect match. These three men created the greatest triple-threat match ever. The non-stop action, drama, and atmosphere were absolutely amazing. The crowd was very much behind Benoit, and totally popped when he won. Chris Benoit wins the Championship by making Triple H tap out to the Crippler Crossface. RATING: ****3/4Too many filler matches and two other lackluster matches keep this from being one of the best WrestleManias, but the good on this show cannot be ignored.RATING: B
Stampsfightclub Wrestlemania is what its all about and this is one of the greatest PPVS ever for numerous reasons. The party starts with a great rendition of the American national anthem and then it is right down to business.US championship John Cena vs Big ShowA very good opening that Cena showcased his old better mic skills. Still the build up and actual match were good if not the best we've seen between the pair. Thankfully the ending isn't as cheesy as current WWE programming.8/10World tag team championship Booker T and RVD vs The Dudley Boys vs La Resistance vs Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade.This fatal four way for the tag team championship had some great spots but there is only two good teams who weren't featured nearly enough6/10Christian vs Chris JerichoFantastic match that had a great build up. They were essentially wrestling all thanks to Trish Stratus and Lita and their wrestling did the talking. Great spots, great twists and turns and for first time viewing what an ending.10/10The Rock and Mick Foley vs Batista, Randy Orton and Ric FlairBefore going to wrestle we see Foley and Rock backstage and Rocky didn't seem the wrestler of old and it showed somewhat in the ring to. A good match that had a great sense of comedy styling8/10Torrie Wilson and Sable vs Miss Jackie and Stacey KieblerReasonable tag team match, the fans liked the fact it was changed to a lingerie match6/10WWE 10 man cruiserweight championship match Great match that lasted longer than normal. Many superstars to watch out for but watch out for Billy Kidman's shooting star press, oh my God.8/10Brock Lesner vs GoldbergThis had a very good build up but it was more of a staring competition than a wrestling match. The fans really slammed Lesnar for selling out6/10WWE tag team championship Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty vs APA vs The Bashams vs Shelton Benjamen and Charlie Haas.Like the previous tag team title match there were good spots but not enough awe to entertain6/10WWE women's championship Victoria vs Molly HollyOne of the more competitive women's matches you'll see good twists and turns and an over sold ending7/10WWE Championship Kurt Angle vs Eddie GuerreroVery, very good match. The Olympic vs latino heat was brilliant great moves, build up and what a brilliant ending that epitomises the characters10/10Kane vs UndertakerThe return of the dead man resounded around Madison square garden and what a match to follow. Brothers divided this showed some skillful and powerful executions and Undertaker is once again sensational10/10World Heavyweight championship Triple H vs HBK vs Chris BenoitThis triple threat match lasted a joyous long time that had a good build up and nice to hear the fans getting behind the right man. How the end came about was great9/10Overall entertaining PPV and certainly worth catching
kliko400 When i first watched Wrestlemania, i knew that this was probably the best Wrestlemania i have ever seen.First match-John Cena vs. Big Show for the WWE United States championship This was a very good start for Wrestlemania as the first match of the night, John Cena becomes new U.S Champion after hitting his second F-U on Big Show. 5/10Second match- Rob Van Dam & Booker T vs. Dudley Boys vs. La Resistance vs. Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade in a fatal 4 way tag team match for the World Tag Team Championship This wasn't a very bad match, but at the same time wasn't very good either but still enjoyable to watch. Rob Van Dam & Booker T retain after both men hit their combined finishers on D Von to win the match. 5/10Third match- Sable & Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler & Miss Jackie this was not a good match, but the divas were hot which was all for eye candy. Sable & Torrie Wilson get the win. 2/10Fourth match- Christian vs. Chris Jericho This was a controversial match between these two former friends, this was actually a good match in my opinion, Christian wins after Trish Stratus interferes costing Jericho the win. Christian nails a roll-up for a pin on Jericho. 5/10Fifth match- Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar. Special guest referee: Stone Cold Steve Austin This was probably the only boring match of the night, Goldberg wins after a Spear then a Jackhgammmer for the win. Also this was the last time these two men would be wrestling. 3/10Sixth match- Evolution {Ric Flair, Batista & Randy Orton} vs. Rock & Mick Foley in a two on three handicap match Not very bad. Evolution wins after Randy Orton hits a RKO on Mick Foley for the win. 6/10Seventh match- Cruiserweight Invitational match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Chavo Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Funaki vs. Akio vs. Billy Kidman vs. Nunzio vs. Tajiri vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Jamie Noble This was in my opinion the best match of the night, Chavo retains his Cruiserweight Championship after a cradle roll up on Mysterio using the ropes for leverage. 6/10Eight match- Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi vs. APA vs. World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Basham Brothers This was a nice match filled with great spot & action, Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi retain after Rikishi pinned one member of the Basham Brothers for the win. 5/10Ninth match- Vuctoria vs. Molly Holly for the Women's Championship, loser gets his hair shaved bald Not a very good match between these two Divas but the ending is just too enjoyable to watch. Victoria gets a Widows Peak on Molly Holly then gets to shave her hair bald in a funny, hilarious scene. 4/10Tenth match- Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship This was also one of the top matches of the night. Both these men just gave it all they had & pulled out a very classic & memorable match which i think everybody & the fans enjoyed it as well. Eddie wins after getting a roll up on Angle using the ropes for leverage as well. 6/10Eleventh match- Undertaker vs. Kane The big wait is over, Undertaker finally returns to defeat Kane in a not bad type of match. Undertaker nails a Tombstone to defeat his brother Kane. 5/10Twelvth & final match of the night- Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit for the World Heavyweight Championship This was a bloody triple-threat match while at the same it was good & enjoyable to watch. Chris Benoit wins after making the Game tap out to the Crossface to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. After the match, two best friends, Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit start celebrating with their titles in one of the memorable Wrestlemania's ever in the history of the WWE. 6/10Overall: The best Wrestlemania ever with a 10/10 & definitely A+ passable.
wrestlingsitewebmaster This was supposed to be the best Wrestlemania ever, but it wasn't. WWE crammed too many performers on the card, many matches were crap.Match 1 sees 'The Doctor of Thugonomics' John Cena battling the Big Show for the US title. The crowd goes crazy for Cena. The action was fair at least by Cena's standards, but the most impressive part of this match was when Cena F-U'd Show and got the win! Next up 4 teams from Raw battle it out in a crap match. Rob Van Dam and Booker T put their worthless tag titles on the line against Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade, The Dudley Boyz and La Resistance. RVD and Booker retained, but I didn't care.Then Christian and Chris Jericho had a respectable match but I've seen better from both individuals. One point in the match Christian hit a nasty DDT on Y2J. Christian wins when Trish Stratus turns on Y2J. This was a good shocker and it certainly opened my eyes.Next up one match I was looking forward to. It should have been a classic, but did the 5 participants make this a classic? No. The Rock and Mick Foley took on Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista in a comedy match, which made me angry. I was looking forward to this and thank you Rock and Flair for spoiling this.Then in what should have been a great match up turned into a slump. The Cruiserweight Battle Royal which consisted of Rey Mysterio, Shannon Moore, Funaki, Jamie Noble, Nunzio, Akio, Tajiri, Kidman, Ultimo Dragon and Cruiserweight Champ Chavo Guerrero had a fair match, but it was allocated in a mere time slot of 9 minutes and 45 seconds. The match didn't stand a chance.Next up the Hall of Fame takes place. Superstars such as Tito Santana, Greg Valentine and Bobby Heenan take their Hall of Fame honors and they deserve it, unlike Pete Rose! WTF has he done to deserve that!? Boy did the fans let WWE know they made a mistake by giving Rose a Hall of Fame invitation, they booed his arse out of Madison Square Garden and rightfully so. Apparently Bob Backlund was so upset by this that he more or less told McMahon to shove his invitation up his arse, and I don't blame him! Next up The Smackdown! Tag Champs Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty took on the APA, The Bashams and Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin in a poor, crap, useless match. Rik and Scotty won but like the Raw tag match I didn't care.Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar's match proved to be a failure. Fans knew they would be leaving and killed it stone dead! Taker and Kane's match was memorable for the wrong reason (Taker's entrance was better than his match!) Victoria and Molly put on a fair match which saw Molly getting her hair shaved! And Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle put on a fantastic battle, which saw 'Latino Heat' keep his WWE title, from some lying, cheating and stealing.The best match on the card was the fantastic battle between World Champ Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit. Benoit won the match and the fans approved.Overall Grade - B-
