Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Diagonaldi Very well executed

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Tom-AVA It has been over 4 years since this Wrestlemania took place. I was only 11 years old when i watched this live. The other day i watched Wrestlemania 23 which in itself was awesome, but i thought back to past Wrestlemanias and this one came to my mind and i couldn't quite remember why.So i went out and bought Wrestlemanias 11-17 and 18-21 on box set. Well i watched 17 first because i had to see The Rock v Austin once more because it was awesome. And i skipped 18 and went straight to 19. Perhaps it is because i am now older and can appreciate this Wrestlemania a lot more now than when i first watched it because now i see it as the best Wrestlemania i have ever seen and this is because of a few matches that were simply amazing.Well lets start off in order. The opening match of Matt Hardy against Rey Mysterio was a simply brilliant cruiserweight battle and Reys attire was pretty awesome. Shawn Michaels took on Chris Jericho in a match that was an instant classic. Hulk Hogan v Vince McMahon was another match that i will remember forever just because it was the whole 20 years on the making storyline.And then perhaps one match that i will remember again, forever because The Rock finally beat Steve Austin at Wrestlemania. This match was the last time that Austin and The Rock ever met in the ring and it was another incredible match.Finally the last match on the card, Brock Lesnar v Kurt Angle. A rivalry for the WWE title that had raged for quite a while and then it inevitably hit Wrestlemania. This, in my opinion, is the greatest match of all time because of the truly incredible athleticism that both men showed. From the reversals, to the quick pin attempts. From the huge Angle Slam to the German Suplex into the turnbuckle and finally from that failed Shooting to Brocks F-5 that finished the match, it showed what Wrestlemania is all about.

SusanAdebisi This has the grandeur of a proper mania building to a brilliant last half. Cruiserweight title - a good opener getting In as much as possible at a rapid pace. Nice contrast between Rey rey's agile cruiserweight zipping around and Hardy's light heavyweight mix of speed & power. Handicap match - Sadly the weakest match on the card great entrance though. Taker Is good and gets plenty of offence In, Albert Is plain annoying with all his shouting. The tombstone connects properly for a change usually the "victim" tucks his chin In leaving Inches between head & canvas - not A train who visibly gets dumped right on his bonce. Triple threat women's title - Not bad atall with a decent flow aided by the fact all 3 are technically sound. Victoria Is too fine & at the time was doing her psycho bint routine with the Tatu entrance. Trish worked damn hard but lets be honest for real Jazz would destroy both then some, Stevie's chair shot didn't help much either! Triple threat tag championship - very well booked & executed as expected Eddie & Beniot stand out through sheer Intensity. Chavo also looks good until flattened by the man beast. Shawn Michaels/Jericho - Honestly In the long run this match Is hugely underrated In my book on a par with Angle/Hbk 2 manias ahead There's too many counters/reversals to keep up with, many high spots & nearfalls/tap outs. Not a great HBK fan credit where It's due he's nigh on Invulnerable In this, boy can he do drama. Y2J Is even better, the angle that he "wants to be Michael's" Is played out brilliantly as he does EVERYTHING to succeed. Why bother as a cheap shot would have done, great sore loser ending.Heavyweight championship: HHH/Booker - Actually a good match as HHH has to up his tempo, Booker as always gives It all to make It look a genuine contest. He Is either a master seller or he legit can't physically stand by the end despite hitting a sick Houston Hangover. The build up bordered on the race card, certainly portraying Booker as unworthy. HHH plays a straight bat for the most part toning down the arrogance and Flair aside the cheating. Commentary on this Is hilarious (remember when Lawler was good) "Imagine being represented by a champion who's family portrait Is a courtroom sketch"! "I hang out with Booker T, we went to the mall - he tried to pay for everything with cigarettes". Wrong but funny.20 year hype street fight between two 50 somethings - Very watchable In parts lots of the red stuff, great taunt leg drop through the Spanish announce table - worse for poor "amigo" Hugo who like McMahon takes a flush chair-shot hands down. I'm not 11 anymore but surely hulking up now & then Is good for the soul!! Rock/Austin: Take 3 - the usual brawling start before SCSA takes control, Rock works the knee for a bit then fatally dons Austin's bullet proof jacket......and promptly gets served up. Finishers exchanged, a weak spine buster sets up you know what, missed 1st attempt soon rectified for an electrifying moment. Austin being the master of the middle finger no sells the tarted up elbow drop, as well as 2, yes 2 Rock bottom's before Rocky summons the spiritt of the Scorpion King apparently to deny Stone Cold a hat-trick at Wrestlemania. WWE Championship:Angle/Lesnar - some chain mat stuff to open up that Isn't received well. Angle then flicks a switch & becomes a suplex machine rolling Germans, snap, belly to back regular & Inside to out, + more I can't name. Lesnar for the beast he Is takes Angle's offence well & the 2 put together a good main event both kick out of the others respective finishers. After the 2nd F5 (huge pop) Kurt's done for....Brocks lurching towards the turnbuckle... You know the rest a hastily re-arranged climax sees a clearly shaken up Lesnar become the new champ. A high standard of action and many memorable moments ie what wrestlemania's meant to do even If only once a year. Austin/Rock are what made WWF so huge In the late 90's - their confrontations electric, their ongoing feud one of the greatest. Rocky drops the heel persona soon as the match Is done and looked genuinely sad to be walking away. And the shooting star that wasn't - a reminder these guys are seconds away from disaster.

wrestlingsitewebmaster This was very good. It had the Wrestlemania feel about it.The first match was disappointing as Matt Hardy faced Rey Mysterio. Surprisingly Rey stared at the ceiling but what was most surprising was that the match was only booked for 6 minutes long. The match didn't stand a chance.Next up The Undertaker battled A-Train and The Big Show in a handicap match, which was supposed to be a tag match putting Taker and Nathan Jones together. This was forgettable. Then Victoria, Trish Stratus and Jazz have a triple threat battle, which was OK at the very best.Then Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas put their tag team gold on the line as they defend their titles against Los Guerrero's and Chris Benoit and Rhyno. This was a very good match. Next up two of the best wrestlers on the Raw roster battle it out as Shawn Michaels takes on Chris Jericho in a fine match. It was like watching an older Shawn battling a younger Shawn (Jericho) HBK won.Then Triple H puts his World Heavyweight title on the line as he defends it against Booker T. This was good, and even though Triple H won, I was surprised by the finish, A clean pedigree. I repeat again A CLEAN PEDIGREE! Nope no Flair interfearing! Next up Hulk Hogan battles Vince McMahon in a street fight. This was shocking because 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper returned and turned heel on Hogan. But this was a very good match.Next up 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin battles The Rock. This was OK but there have been more better battles putting these two men together. Rock wins after 3 Rock Bottoms.Next up wrestling fans get their dreams come true as Kurt Angle puts his gold on the line as he defends it against Brock Lesnar. This was excellent but Lesnar nearly killed himself when attempting his shooting star press. Lesnar wins when he F5's Angle.Very good!

nightngale_26 *SPOILERS!!!* Not a bad show, not as good as No Way Out, waaay better than the Royal Rumble, though I expected more from the Superbowl of the WWE. the best match was by far Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho...BRILLIANT work by both men, nice job guys. the dissapointment of the night (in my opinion) was either Austin losing to Rock, and Baby Brock sucking on Vinces nipple some more to get back the World Title. Absolutly pathetic, but, nice show. Hogan and Vince dragged a bit, Booker T and Triple H was action packed, fairly good PPV.
