Movie Review: Wrestlemania 21 review
Summary: 5 Stars
This was another great Wrestlemania dvd for the WWE! Below is the match card:
Match 1: Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio
Match 2: Money in the bank Ladder match: Edge vs. Y2J vs. Christian vs. Chris Beniot vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kane
Match 3: Randy Orton vs. the Undertaker
Match 4: Womens Championship: Trish Stratus(c) vs. Christy Hemme
Match 5: Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels
Match 6: Sumo Match: Akebono vs. Bih Show
Match 7: WWE Championship: JBL(c) vs. John Cena
Match 8: World Heavyweight Championship: HHH(c) vs. Batista
Here are the results with a short review an rating:
1: Rey Mysterio def. Eddie Guerrero
This was a great opener for Wrestlemania! There were some good power moves by both men, which suprised me. But the highflying moves were awesome! The ending shouldnt have been a rollup, but it was still good. Match Rating...8
2: Edge wins the money in the bank ladder match
A lot of action in this match! Kane gets sandwiched by edge n christian with the ladders, so theres a big plus! Beniot's stiches come apart after a headbutt to Kane which is not good. Maybe this shouldve been around the middle of the ppv, but the ending is pretty good. Edge hits Beniots injured arm with a chair. Match Rating...9
3: Undertaker def. Randy Orton
As expected, the Undertaker is again victorious at Wrestlemania. But if he lost, it should be to Randy Orton. This was another great match on the card, and again, this should'nt have been around the beginning, but no complaining, this match was good! I though Ortan had the match won after reversing a chokeslam into a huge RKO, but Taker keeps his win streak. Match Rating...7
4: Women's Champion Trish Stratus def. Christy Hemme
Not the best womens match, but definately not the worst. Christy had some pretty close calls to win the match, using a reverse twist of fate, but still couldnt beat Trish and that chick kick. Not much more to say about this match. Match Rating...6
5: Kurt Angle def. HBK
AWESOME! This match was the best on the card, and is definately a classic that will not be forgotten for a long long time! Hig Flying moves, technical movs, strength moves, these men gave it 110% for this match! if there were any more than 10 stars to give, id give it 1000/10! Match Rating...10
6: In a sumo match, Akebono def. Big Show
This match was ok. If you want to see Show fight a guy bigger than him, youll want to see this, if not, you might as well skip it. Match Rating...4
7: John Cena def. JBL for the WWE Championship
This was another good match for Wrestlemania, but shouldve been longer! JBL just dominated the whole match, but somehow Cena pulls away with another victory. I dont like matches like that, and Cena needed to do more during the match, in stead of doing nothing untill the last 10 seconds! Still ok. Match Rating...7
8: Batista def HHH for the World Heavyweight Championship
Perfect main event! We all knew what would happen! HHH suprised me by starting to dominate the beginning of the match, but Batista came back and dominated HHH. Great match! Rating: 10/10
Overall wrestlemania got a rating of 61/80, which is equal to 76/100. Overall worth 4 stars, but amazon wont let me change my star rating.
Extra Match:
Raw vs. Smackdown Battle Royal
Winner: Smackdown's Booker T
This was a great battle royal! To bad it was a dark match though. Hurricane gives Heidenreich his own match to start it off, but Heidenreich gave him a hard punch to start things off. Chris Masters dominated for awhile, but Booker eliminates him to get the win for Smackdown! Match Rating...8
Great Wrestlemania!
Movie Review: WM 21 was good, but there is more to it than that.......
Summary: 5 Stars
WM 21 was live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and besides three great matches that are well worth it for the DVD; those matches are Undertaker/Orton, HBK/Angle, and the ladder match, the extras will be worth it, as this will be a three disk set that will be released on May 10th.
Including a battle royal never before seen with 15 raw and 15 smackdown guys. Plus the hall of fame ceremony, or HOF for short, will most likely be on the thrid disk.
But there is one question that I will want to answer, my review of WM 21 is over, feel free to skip the rest.....
The one question that I have seen is why aren't there any TLC matches anymore? Thats easy to answer, hmm, hmm, THERE ARE NO GOOD TEAMS LEFT!
I mean seriously, don't beat yourselves over the head with trying to find that answer. The tag team division is at the worst it has possibly been in.
Remember the 2000. 2001 era of wrestling? The tag team division was overflowing with guys who weren't even put in good storylines. The Hardy Boyz, the Dudley Boyz. The Radicalz, Too Cool, The APA, E and C, The Brothers of Destruction, Two Man Power Trip, X Factor, and The New Age Outlaws.
Nowadays, out of all those guys, we have the Dudley Boyz, and.... Uh..... wait a minute thats all thats left! The only other close tag team is E and C, but they will probably never get another title run, at least not in the near future.
The last time the tag team division was at least good was the beginning and the middle of 2003. Back then you had Team Angle, soon to become the WGTT, the Guerreroes, the Dudley Boyz, Chris Jericho and Christian, the Basham Brothers [They suck by the way]
Kane and Rob Van Dam, La Resistance [They suck as well], The UnAmericans, and Booker T and Goldust [They may have only had the titles once, but I still liked them.]
2004 was the worst year of wrestling, the draft lottery sure helped kill the excitment, and we saw several makeshift teams;
Kenzo Suzuki and Renee Dupree: What the hell was WWE thinking?
Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio: Not as bad, but nothing special
Billy Kidman and Paul London: Oh yeah, they sure lasted a long time...
Booker T and Rob Van Dam: They were alright
Batista and Ric Flair: Just look at the Royal Rumble 04 to see my opinion, Horrible!
Pretty sad if you really look at it. Maybe the reason the TLC matches have gone into being a myth are because there isn't any excitment left in the tag team division, or maybe its because the WWE is getting dumber by the year, but the fact remains, the tag team titles will soon become a myth as well.......
But wait a second, look there, at the end of the tunnel is a light, and that light comes in the form of TNA [Total Nonstop Action] Wrestling. I am not a fan of them, but that company is dying a slow death.
But look on the bright side if you do like them, once the company dies there will be maybe 30-40 guys that will want to start a new career with the WWE. And that means that the tag team divsion will be anewed. Look at the potential stars:
Americas Most Wanted
Triple X
Team Canada
3 Live Kru
Michale Shane and Kazarian
The Naturals
The Return of the DX members: Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X Pac are all on TNA
The bright light at the end of the tunnel is in the form of TNA collapsing under their bad management and booking. Their next ppv, lockdown, has every single match in a steel cage. Besides three matches in that, the other 7 will get boring to say the least.
So heres to TNA dying, the tag team divsion being boosted, and the return of the most exciting match in WWE history,
The Tables Ladders and Chairs match!
Movie Review: Can't wait!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrestlemania 21 is approaching and boy is it gonna be great! First off, I must applaud the WWE for their WM trailers. Eugene as Forrest Gump, HHH and Flair in Braveheart, and(by far the best one) Benoit, Jericho, Christian, and Stacy in Basic Instinct. Their now saying Eddie and Booker T will be spoofing Pulp Fiction! These commercials are by far the best WWE has ever come up with. These are even better than the Royal Rumble commercial! Anyway, onto Wrestlemania! No matches have been announced yet, but by the way things are being hinted toward, I have a few predictions.
World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs Batista
HHH will have been the one to have been put the JBL and Big Show tapes on the air, and be responsible for the limo incident on RAW. Batista will find out, sign with RAW, and turn face and leave Evolution. This rivalry is being built up so well its almost perfect!
WWE Championship
JBL vs John Cena
JBl will retain at No Way Out, and Cena will win the tournament. I expect good things from this match. JBL will have been champion for nearly 10 months when this event happens. In my view, JBL will put Cena over here. It is just the right thing to do. And when you think about it, Cena is the only top face on Smackdown that JBL hasn't beaten. You never know.
Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle
This will be a classic. I can see it happening after Kurt elimintated HBK at the Rumble after Kurt himself was already elimintaed. HBK will appear at No Way Out, cost Angle the tournament, and they will face of at Wrestlemania. Match of the year candidate right here, guarranteed.
Undertaker & Kane vs Heidenreich & Gene Snitsky
I can see this match being some type of gimmick match(possibly Buried Alive or Inferno?). The reason it will happen is because at the Rumble, Snitsky formed an alliance with Heidenreich and Kane popped out of the casket to come to the aid of his brother, but more importantly to take out Snitsky. Its ironic you know? Taker and Kane faced off at Mania last year, now they will join forces. Very interesting.
Eddie Guerrero vs Booker T
It always happens. Different types of styles clash as tag team partners and then they crumble and turn to hatred. Remember Booker and RVD's partnership? I can see Booker returning to being a heel and betray Eddie and the 2 face off here at Mania.
Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs Christy Hemme
Trish is jealous that Christy is gonna pose for Playboy, so she slaps Christy on the face. Christy will get revenge, and then Trish will put the title on the line against her on April 3rd.
WWE Tag Team Championship
Dudley Boyz vs Basham Brothers
I can see the Dudleyz returning, betraying Spike, and then getting into a feud with the Bashams.
Chris Benoit vs Chris Masters(debuts on RAW next week)
I read that this new guy Masters will come to RAW and then start a feud with Benoit. So much for Benoit vs Y2J. But still this is a rumor and have no idea if it will happen.
Chris Jericho vs Muhammad Hassan
These 2 have been going at it lately and I could see them facing off here at Mania, and with the Iron Sheik being inducted in the Hall of Fame this year he would love to get involved with Hassan. So perhaps Jericho could have some patriotic dude in his corner(HOGAN???)
Randy Orton vs Christian
These 2 had a fantastic match on RAW and I could see the "sequel" happening at Mania. I just pray Stacy doesn't turn heel on Randy and joins forces with the CLB and Tomko. That would be stupid for the WWE to pull off the same stunt they did last year.
There you have it. My Wrestlemania predictions for this year. This could be one of the greatest events ever if it turns out like I hope it will.
Movie Review: Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood
Summary: 5 Stars
AWESOME WM!!!!! Lived up to the hype all the way, unlike last year. The WWE is coming back strong!
Mysterio vs Eddie
Great opener. It had some spots. Rey's mask was bothering him, yet he still won the match. They hugged after which was nice, (not as touching in my opinion as last year's embracing of a tearful Benoit and Eddie at the end).
JBL and HHH had a backstage confrontation. HHH added some humor to this as did Ric with his trademark "Wooo", which made it entertaining to watch.
HHH: "Look Natch, it's the Wrestling God, what a joke. If you wanna see a wrestlin god, then look no further than right here." "Tell ya what Bradshaw, you keep telling everybody you're good, and i'm sure someone will believe you"
Six Man "Money In The Bank" Ladder Match
Off the charts. It may even tie up to the WM X Ladder Match between HBK and Hall(who was known as Razor Ramon at the time) Everyone took bumps, Benoit had a broken arm, Benjamin was innovative with the T-Bone Suplex from the ladder and the runing the ladder clothesline to Jericho, who did well as did Christan and Kane, but in the end, Edge won. I guess it was obvious ever since Taboo Tuesday if not later on.
Eugene returned, Hassan interrupted him though. When he was asked why Hassan was mad or angry whatever it was, Eugene replied with "Because you don't like midgets?" funny. Hassan attacked him and locked him in the Camel Clutch till Real American played as Hogan saved Eugene giving Hassan and his manager boots and then throwing them outside. Then he ripped his shirt and posed. Awesome pose in front of the Amaerican flag.
The Undertaker vs Randy Orton "Legend Vs Legend Killer"
AWESOME MATCH!!!! Taker's entrance was awesome like last year's! He did great. He let Orton do what MOST feared Orton wouldn't do, and still won. He is now 13-0. "Randy Orton...RREESST INN PEEEAACCEE". (Loved the backstage segements will Kane the night after, but more so on the last RAW before WM, as well as the burning ringposts and UT's WM Highlight video)
Women's Championship
Good effort by Christy, Trish(my favorite Diva along with Stacy) of course retains though.
Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle
SPECTACULAR!!!!! Shawn's effort was amazing. He lasted through the Anklelock as long as he could and got a much deserved standing ovation for his efforts.
Piper's Pit with Stome Cold
Piper was ok, Austin was better, Carlito wmade it funny, loves the Stunners(classic Stone Cold)!!!
i'm skipping the next match(The Sumo Match) and moving on as i did not see it
WWE Championship
John Cena vs JBL. Great buildup as far as SD goes. Cena won the WWE Title and went into the crowd!!!! AWESOME night for Cena and hs ChainGang!!! Word Life!!! Love ther new theme too though i'm not much of a rap fan except for Enimem only.
Hall Of Fame
Nice to see the inductees as they did at WM last year. This segment spoke for itsekf and did what it was supposed to do, let the fans see the inductees, whether they missed the ceremony on tv, or wanted to see them one last time(well except for Hogan as of this past Monday)
World Heavyweight Championship
I liked it. HHH took the best of Batista including the Batista Bomb which did it. GOod to see a new champ for once insstead of HHH always hogging it. He should let someone else hold on to it. Last year he lost it but couldn't wait to get it back do he did in september. He shuld NOT be champ for quite some time now....
great highlight video, like last year and every year.
SO WM 21 built the future of WWE with RAW's Batista and SD's John Cena. Only time will tell which reign lasts longer. Can't wait for the draft too. STRONG COMEBACK WWE!!!
Movie Review: This will be the best wrestlemania yet_____WRESTLEMANIA 21!!
Summary: 5 Stars
triple h vs batista
batista will win & will make a great champ. batista will become the hell & hopefully at bad blood 2005 he will enter his first hell in a cell to defend the championship.
JBL vs john cena
i hate JBL but i hate cena even more. he's a bad wrestler, bad rapper & doesn't deserve to be a wwe champion. he has also disrepected the US title by changing it into his own stylish brand of BLING BLING. he has the worst gimmick and may i say he has the worst finisher, F-U. i mean i could bloody kick out of that. its no better than a body slam. if he were champ then he will change it like he did w/ the US title. WWE title is my favorite & if he changes it then i will not watch smackdown while he is champ. he hasn't even earned being WWE champion because all he has ever done is lose against legends like undertaker and kurt angle and brock lesnar. that doesnt make you worthy, it makes you a loser. why no get someone like RVD, his last title shot was back at survivor series 2002 in the elimination chamber. he has fought well for all these years and desearves the biggest price in WWE and also booker t, the last time he was champ was at WCW. he has given us so many great matches like the one at wrestlemania 19, that was great. But Cena. his only boy and he always will be with that gimmick as a rapper. JBL might cheat to win but at least he has class and will do whatever it takes to be champion. by the way CENA SUCKS CENA SUCKS CENA SUCKS CENA I HATE YOU CENA YOU TRAILER TRASH
hbk vs kurt angle
this will be the best match of them all. i like both these guys and i don't care who wins, as long as they give my a good match.
randy orton vs undertaker
don't get my wrong i love randy orton but i dont want taker losing in his 13-0 wrestlemania match. undertaker is and will always be the best. UNDERTAKER
trish stratus vs christy hemme
i want trish to win, even though she is a slut and all but christy just sucks and thats the bottom line. they are given christy all this support all for nothing, she has no talent at all except for dancing around in her underwear like a slut. she's hot...THATS IT,OKAY
chavo guerrero vs paul london
paul london needs to be at wrestlemania, he hasn't been yet and he is a great high flying cruiserweight that should win. i like chavo too but his already been a champ a number of times. however i am glad funaki is not the champ. he sucks so bad. in japan when he defended title against chavo he was trying too hard to impress his country. go back to being a small time annoucer on smackdown you shrimp.
i am glad that stone cold will be at wrestlemania, he is my favourite wrestler of all time, STONE COLD IS THE MAN and thats the bottom line, why cause' i said so. rowdy piper and hulk hogan, these guys are the ones i grow up with and they will stay in my heart forvever.
6-man ladder match for intercontinental title
Y2j vs chris benoit vs shelton benjimin vs christain vs edge vs snitsky
damn, shelton just lose that title. im getting sick of benjimin as ic champ because his title defences have been a joke. take someone like randy orton as ic champ, he beat cactus jack (hardcore rules), Y2J, rvd and almost beat edge but that doesnt matter. all shelton has been doing is fight guys like snitsky diquifation by the way, maven, should i say anymore about the 2001 tough enouth winner and christain. y2j needs to be a 8 time intercontinenal champion to show someone like benjimin how its done.
there are more but i dont know yet
