Movie Reviews of WWE: WrestleMania 22
Movie Review: Rey Mysterio wins the title...
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrestlemania 22 had some great matches, and some horrible matches. Mick Foley returned as Cactus Jack, Chris Benoit lost the US title, John Cena made Triple H tap out, and The Undertaker continued his undefeated streak by beating Mark Henry.
World Tag Team Championships
Big Show and Kane [Champions] vs. Carlito and Chris Masters:
Okay match to start the show. Big Show used a lot of big man moves and Kane even did a drop kick and jumped off the top turnbuckles to Masters and Carlito on the outside. Masters came off the turnbuckles but hit Carlito by accident and Kane gave a chokeslam to Carlito to retain the titles. 7/10
Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Rob Van Dam vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Lashley vs. Finlay vs. Ric Flair vs. Matt Hardy:
Awesome ladder match. Flair gets superplexed off a ladder and had to leave temporairily. Rob Van Dam hit a splash off the top of a ladder onto Finlay. Shelton jumped off a ladder to the outside onto two or three guys. RVD hit a missile drop kick to lashley on a ladder. Ric Flair comes back in but Finlay hit him with his club while Flair touched the briefcase. The end comes when Shelton Benjamin and Matt Hardy fall of a ladder to the outside and Rob Van Dam wins the match. 9/10
USA Championship
Chris Benoit [Champion] vs. JBL:
To be honest I was surprised to see JBL use a sleeper hold in this match. It was hard hitting in some places and JBL even had the audacity to mock Eddie Guerrero multiple times in the match. The end comes when Benoit had JBL in the cross face but JBL rolls over and grabs the ropes to pin Benoit. 7/10 [These two have had better matches]
Hardcore Match
Mick Foley vs. Edge:
Great match. Edge spears Mick only to have Mick take off an extra flannel shirt to reveal himself as Cactus Jack wrapped in Barb Wire! Kendo sticks, street signs, tables, thumbtacks, lighter fluid, and a barbed wire baseball bat all make appearances. Highlights include Cactus Jack back suplexing Edge onto a pile of tacks. Edge gave some massive shots to Mick with a cookie sheet and street signs. The end comes when Edge speared Mick through the middle ropes onto a FLAMING table!!!! Edge wins. 9/10 Brutal match and a must see ending.
Handicap Match
Booker T and Sharmell vs. The Boogeyman:
Blah, boring and worthless. Boogeyman kisses Sharmell with a mouthful of worms and she flips out. Boogeyman gets a pin. 5/10
Women's Championship
Trish Stratus [Champion] vs. Mickie James:
This was actually a pretty good match and the crowd was really into Mickie. Trish kicks a ring post by accident after Mickie moved out of the way. Both women are hot and can actually wrestle, which is nice to see on a ppv for a change. Mickie botched the ending when she went for Trish's own move but hits the chick kick on Trish to win the Women's Championship. 6.5/10
No Holds Barred Match
Shawn Michales vs. Mr. McMahon:
Entertaining all the way through. The Spirit Squad beats up Shawn but HBK fights back and nails everyone of them with the mega-phone, Shane McMahon hits the ring with a kendo stick but Shawn forces Shane to kiss his own father's ass without Vice realizing who is actually kissing it! HBK handcuffs Shane to the ring ropes and then proceeds to beat the hell out of both McMahons, payback for the last four months of hell! The ending comes when Shawn gives a HUGE elbow drop onto Mr. McMahon off a 25 foot ladder through a table! 9.5/10 Great match and definately a WM moment.
Casket Match
The undertaker vs. Mark Henry:
I think this was Undertaker's worst WM match in quite some time. Some cool moves though as Undertaker leaps over the top rope, over the casket, onto Henry. Both men get their faces shoved into steel steps and both even end up fighting literally inside the casket. The ending comes when UT gives Mark Henry an impressive tombestone and roll him into the casket. 14-0 is UT's new record. 7/10
World Heavyweight Championship
Triple Threat Match
Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle [Champion] vs. Rey Mysterio:
Great match but about half as long as I thought it would be. Very fast paced though and some cool moments such as; Angle german suplexing Randy Orton who suplexes Rey Mysterio at the same time. Angle makes both Orton and Mysterio tap out but each time the ref was distracted by the other man. The end comes when Angle is thrown out of the ring and Rey hits the 619 and the west coast pop on Orton to win the title. 9/10 Great match but only 10 or 12 mintues long!
Playboy Pillow Fight
Torrie Wilson vs. Candice Michelle:
I think the crowd chanting, "Boring" sums it all up. 1/10 [for the outfits]
WWE Championship
Triple H vs. John Cena [Champion]:
This was actually a pretty good match. The entire crowd booed the hell out of Cena as both men actually wrestled and brawled all over the ring area. Highlights include some viscious clotheslines by Triple H and Cena on each other, and Cena back dropping the Game onto the entrance ramp. Both men kick out of the other's finishing moves but Cena gets the win after making Triple H tap out to the STFU. 8.5/10
I reccommend this PPV for the Two World Title Matches, the No Holds Barred Match, the Hardcore Match, the Ladder Match, and even the Women's Championship. Solid WM this year and the only real horrible matches were the handicap match and the pillow fight.
Movie Review: ONE OF THE GREATEST WRESTLEMANIA EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen EVERY wrestlemania to date in its entirety, i have witnessed some serious flops for main events and undercard matches, AKA (EVERY john cena match) is mockable to say the least, and its credibility is usually saved by the opponent he has in the ring and that was definately the case with their main event square off in the main event. HOWEVER this card was powerful and had my eyes glued to the screen on more than one occasion. A DEFINATE MUST BUY!
Carlito & Chris Masters vs Kane & Big Show: Bad opener. Carlito is an amazing wrestler but putting him in the ring with Big Show and Kane, Two completely different atmospheres, put on a decent show but could have been definately saved for RAW. 5/10
MONEY IN THE BANK!; Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair vs RVD vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy vs Lashley: This was ONE AMAZING match! From the opening bell it was instant action and high flying moves, and you even see Ric Flair fly high! All of these men are amazing performers and you see all of them in their element! amazing finish as it should be! 10/10
JBL vs Chris Benoit: Chris Benoit had been getting underjobs after he dropped the title after WM 20. He was a world champion and was deduced to a US Champion and then was screwed out of that title. very soon after he died, so you kinda wish he had better matches but he and JBL didnt mesh well and the match was very basic, not horrible but predictable and basic. wouldnt hurt to miss it. 4/10
Edge vs Mick Foley: Quite possibly the best match on the card. Mick Foley had never been a showstopper or a high flyer or the powerhouse, but that guy can take a beating and sell it better than anyone else, that night he and edge tore each other apart. a true hardcore match that saw some amazing things! you have to give it up to EDGE he really put himself on the line and cut himself up pretty bad and gave it all to the fans as Mick did. a true wrestlemania classic!
Mickie James vs Trish Stratus: I for one enjoyed this match alot. i never watch the womens matches on any card but i watched this one. besides the fact that mickie james and trish stratus are gorgeous and in provocative positions all match long, they did some high flying risk taking stuff! it was also cool to see the crows get so much into it, and the storyline going in was mickie james was the psychotic trish stratus stalker (heel) and trish was the typical hottie (face) but the crowd turns on stratus mid match and starts cheering for mickie! everytime startus hits a move the crowd boos like crazy. a good match but the ending sucked, really let me down. 7/10
Mark Henry vs Undertaker: Undertaker undefeated at WM, but Mark Henry? come on! hes been a jobber since 98". and your going to pit him against teh undertaker at the grandest stage? not a good choice, extremely predicatable and very short Taker is a great wrestler and a great showman, but even taker couldnt save this one. 4/10
Shawn Michaels vs Mr McMahon: BEST MATCH ON THE CARD; ONE OF THE BEST WRESLTMANIA MATCHES EVER!! McMahon complimented Michaels so well in this match and vice versa. Vince took so much abuse from Shawn you almos felt bad for the demonic mcmahon..almost...lol this match really hit it on the herad what a wrestlemania match was supposed to carry as far as amazement and showcasing. Mcmahon is not a wrestler but he didnt need to be to steal the show with shawn. I loved it when shawn saluted the crowd with teh DX chop, the crowd went nuts i loved it, unbenounced to be Triple H would also do it later! and DX was reformed shortly after wrestlemania 22. One of the showstoppers best
Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio: This match delivered, however for me i never believed Rey Mysterio to be a main event guy, much less be a World Champion. He just doesnt get over that much for me. and to be put over so heavily at mania, kinda feels cheezy. the match did deliver in its short time span and they all deliver some pretty spectacular moves. Kurt was wrestling injured and i applaud his fortitude. a good match overalljust kinda wish to see more main event guys than Rey Mysterio. 7/10
John Cena vs. Triple H: (WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH)
I have always respected the Game as a face or a heel. he gives everything he has every match, not to say John Cena hasnt or doesnt work hard, i just felt that he was put over way too soon without earning his spot, like the greats did, Steve Austin, the Rock, Mick Foley, and of course Triple H. I think people are getting sick of Cena and his basic strategy. He has a mouthpiece and can talk but hes even derived from that tactic! anyway i digress. The main event at this years mania was good, but Triple H made it that way. he sold Cena so well throughout the match that it put both of them over. This stage really set the Game up for a face turn because there was no evolution anymore and it was just triple H so his effort was heartfelt by the fans. One of the Games best. 9/10
Movie Review: the best wrestlemania in history???
Summary: 5 Stars
i really enjoyed watching wrestlemania 22 it was truely amazing even though i knew who was going to win thanks to my brother telling me even though i didn't really want to know til wrestlemania 22. so here are the matches and a short review for each
world tag team championship:
big show & kane vs carlito & chris masters
when i was watching this match i couldn't belive what an awsome team big show and kane made they could overpower everyone. but carlitos cockiness could of payed off if the plan that him and chris masters tried would of worked but it didn't and i got to see chris masters get beat up which i thourght was a godd element to this match 7/10
money in the bank ladder match:
ric flair vs rvd vs shelton benjamin vs matt hardy vs finlay vs lashley.
this mactch was really incredible well just imagin the athleticisim of shelton benjamin then ric flairs dirty fighting style rvds hig flying abilitys finlays unique wrestling style matt hardys ladder match history and lashleys stength all in one match what more could you want??? but i do think that rvd shouldn't of won just beacuse i thourght shelton was better in that match 9/10
united states championship:
chris benoit vs jbl
i really like benoit and as a fan of his i was looking forward to him hopefully beating jbl up and winning but it was not to be as jbl won and won the united states championship 7/10
hardcore match:
edge vs mick foley
this match had so many twists i couldn't keep up. it made the match in a way a once in a lifetime match. just watching its brutality is enough. watching mick foley get speared through a burning tabel i was in shock of the extreamness in this match.
9.5/10
boogeyman vs booker t abd sharmell:
i really didn't like this match as a matter of fact i hated it. it was pointless and they could of used the time taken in this match to make other matches better and longer 1/10
womans championship match:
trish stratus vs mickie james
i have to admit i was not looking forward to this match because most womans matches are pointless and the womans wrestlers seem useless in the ring but when i watched this match i was really into it . it was the best womans match in history i think. mickie james when pycho most of the time but it made mickie seem like she was in controle of the match all the way through and she beat trish with trishes own move. 7/10
casket match:
undertaker vs mark henry
i was looking forward to seeing undertaker in this match but not mark henry as i think mark henry has maby injured more people than he has beat.but this match was alright and seeing the undertaker close that casket with mark henry inside reminded me why he is a legend. 7.5/10
no holds barred match:
vince mcmahon vs shawn michaels
i was looking forward to this match because i really wanted to see shawn michaels beat up vince and i wanted to see the side to shawn michaels i had hardly ever seen were he goes mad and risks everything thats why he is so good. this match was really funny as vince had the cover of the magazine he was in blown up and then he had it rapped round his head. later on in the match shawn put vince on a tabel climed up a ladder then got off. i was shocked as i wanted to see him jump and put vince through the tabel. he went outside the ring picked up a bin put it over vinces head, got and even BIGGER LADDER and climed up it. then he jumped onto vince and put him through the tabel with a steel bin on his head. 9/10
world heavyweight championship:
kurt angle vs randy orton vs rey mysterio
i was looking forward to this match and i wasn't dissapointed.
before wrestlemania i was a little annoyed at randy orton because he beat rey by cheating.... but then i remember how eddie gurrero lied CHEATED and stole and i throurght that was a little weird. but then rey got added to the match and i was so happy becasue he said he wanted to win the match for the late and great eddie gurrero (r.i.p) and the match was great but when that 619 hit the crowd knew it was over REY WON THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP even though he is a cruiserweight well done rey. 9/10
playboy pillow fight:
torrie wilson vs candice michelle
this match was ponitless and it dosn't even need to be their.
0/10
wwe championship match:
john cena( best wrestler ever) vs triple h
AMAZING ENTRENCES AMAZING MATCH AMAZING CHAMPION
THIS MATCH WAS JUST AMAZING 10/10!!!!
hall of fame: this was really a great night and it was a sad one too as eddie gurreros induction was that night and i was really sad because eddie was a great wrestler and will be missed r.i.p eddie!
Movie Review: Wrestlemania predictions
Summary: 5 Stars
To the guy below, you forgot to mention Jeff Jarret as pathetic as well as washed up. Just thought I'd let you know, but good comparing otherwise. This year's Wrestlemania is shaping up to be fantastic. As far as the card, I think it should top last years (with the exception of the HBK/Angle match). Here is the card.
World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio
This should be a fantastic matchup. It will probably be reminiscent of the main event at WM XX, but probably with a lot more high flying moves. Here is my prediction: earlier in the night, Benoit will come and motivate Rey before the match (just like Eddie did for Benoit at WM XX), and Rey will win the title in the end, and Benoit will come to the ring and celebrate with him. That would be extremely appropriate, and would make a great ending.
WWE Championship
John Cena vs Triple H
I am looking forward to this match as well. The WWE has done a good job of building this match up, considering that the only physical contact has been HHH pedigreeing Cena. That should make the match even more anticipating. Even though Cena is still not on the fans good side, I still see him retaining here. I think he has one last title defense left in him, then he can drop the title to Trips at Backlash.
No Holds Barred Match
Shawn Michaels vs Mr. McHmahon
This match has had the biggest buildup of any match of the night. Bottom line here, Shawn deserves this win. He has been put through so much by Vince and Shane, so the win here would be well earned. I wouldn't be shocked to see Bret Hart show up as well, and aid HBK to even the odds. Yeah I said it, to aid HBK.
Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Rob Van Dam vs Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy vs Bobby Lashley
I am predicting Lashley to be the sixth man in the match (he is the only logical one left). If this match is anything like last years Ladder match, then we will be in for a fantastic match here. I have narrowed the choices to 2....RVD or Flair. I say RVD, because this is a good way to get him back in the title picture, and have him become a major star. Flair, well he's Flair for crying out loud! Heads, RVD, tails, Flair. RVD wins.
Casket Match
Undertaker vs Mark Henry
This will be interesting. I hope Henry can fit in the casket. That shows you right there who I am picking. Taker is looking to 14-0 in Chicago, and I have a feeling he will be successful. Hopefully, he will stuff Daivari in the casket with Henry as well.
Hardcore Match
Edge vs Mick Foley
This one is going to be BRUTAL. Edge and Foley showed that at SNME. There will probably be a lot of weapons used, and hopefully, there will be plenty of HOLY S*** moments as well. I am really looking forward to this one. Edge will probably get the treatment Randy Orton did at the hands of Foley at WM XX.
United States Championship
Chris Benoit vs JBL
This too should be a good matchup. JBL and Benoit have good chemistry together, and I have a feeling that chemistry will culminate in a very good match at Mania. I say Benoit retains after a hard fought match.
World Tag Team Championship
Big Show & Kane vs Carlito & Chris Masters
I like Masters and Carlito as a tag team. This matchup should deliver, and I expect good things from it. Show and Kane will have held the titles since Taboo Tuesday, so I could see Carlito and the Masterpiece stealing the victory here and becoming new champs.
Booker T vs The Boogeyman
This matchup should be entertaining. Boogeyman is one of the better characters around, and with a reliable worker in Booker T, I could see this being a good match. Boogeyman has been getting to Booker for weeks, so I could see Booker getting the big win here at Mania.
Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs Mickie James
This has been being built up for awhile. Mickie's psycho/lesbian character has become entertaining, so I think it would be logical for her to beat Trish here. She would make an interesting champ nonetheless.
Playboy Pillow Fight
Candice Michelle vs Torrie Wilson
We are all winners in this match. I have a feeling WWE will continue to push the covergirl Candice, and give her the victory here.
Hall of Fame Inductees: (more to be announced)
Bret Hart
Eddie Guerrero
Gene Okerlund
Sensational Sherri
Verne Gange
The Blackjacks
This will be a great Wrestlemania. The buildup has been fantastic, and the matches look great. April 2nd seems so far away.
Movie Review: Wrestlemania 23
Summary: 5 Stars
1. Money in the Bank Tables, Ladders, Chairs match
Shelton Benjamin(R) vs. Jeff Hardy(R) vs. Mr.Kennedy(SD) vs. Matt Hardy(SD) vs. CM Punk(ECW) vs. Sabu(ECW)
Winner: Sabu 13 mins.
match higlights: Sabu hitting the Atomic Arabian Face-Crusher off the ladder through the table, Sabu going for the Triple Jump Moonsault, only this time when he gets to the top rope he jumps on a 20ft ladder on the outside of the ring, climbs up it really fast to the top and hits the moonsault, Shelton hitting the T-Bone off the ladder, Jeff doing the Swanton off a 20ft ladder through a table, Matt doing the Side-Effect off the ladder, and there will also be a moment like WM17 where Matt and Bubba get pushed off the ladder and through the tables.
2. United States Championship
Bobby Lashley vs. King Booker
Winner: Booker 9 mins.
Lashley will hit the Running Powerslam but the ref will be knocked out then Sharmell will hit him with a low blow, Booker will hit him in the gut with the chair, hit the Scissors Kick, the ref will stir, and Booker will win the match and the title.
3. Triple Threat
Big Show vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. The Sandman
Winner: Big Show 5 mins
Big Show will win with the Chokeslam on Dreamer but will cheat to do it. Then after the match Dreamer and Sandman will beat him up with a trash lid and the signapore cane.
4. No Holds Barred
John Cena vs. Randy Orton
Winner: John Cena 13 mins
This will be a brutal match with steel chairs, trash cans, trash lids, and more weapons. Orton will hit the RKO but Cena will kick out. Then he will FU Orton off the steel steps through the announce table, throw him in the ring, and win with the STFU( If you wan't to know how this rivalry got started go to Royal Rumble 2006 and look for the review entitled "Royal Rumble 2007 Predictions".)
5. 2 out of 3 falls
Chris Beniot vs. Rey Mysterio
Winner: Chris Benoit 16 mins
It will be a tribute match to Eddie Guerreo from his two best friends Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio. Benoit will win the first fall by some kind of rollup, Rey will get the second fall with 619/West Coast Pop, and Benoit will win the match with the Crossface. After the match they'll shake hands and hug.
6. Legend vs. Legend
Hulk Hogan vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Winner: Stone Cold 18 mins.
This match was supposed to happen at WM22 but for some reason it didn't so it will happen next year. This will be the clash of the two greatest superstars of all time. This will be a great Hulk will hit Leg Drop and Austin will hit the Stunner twice but the match will continue. Austin will hit a third Stunner and with three Stunners, Austin will beat Hulk Hogan.
7. ECW Championship with Extreme rules
Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle
Winner: Rob Van Dam 17 mins
With Van Dam's athleticim and creativity and Kurt Angle's wrestling ability and with extreme rules this match will a classic. I expect to see RVD surf the chair into Angle in the corner, the Van Daminatior, the Van Terminator, Rolling Thunder while Kurt is on a ladder, and the rest of his crazy moves. Angle will hit the Angle Slam from the top, a Belly to Belly suplex out of the ring, a Superplex off the tip off the top of a ladder, his suplex variatons, and his other moves. Van Dam will win with the Five Star Frog Splash off the top of a ladder.
8. WWE Championship Fatal Four Way
Kane vs. Edge vs. Shawn Micheals vs. Triple H
Winner: Kane 9 mins
Since the the Smackdown main event was short at WM22, the Raw main event should be short. Kane will win the Rumble but Edge and Micheals will weasel their way into the match. Everyone will hit their signature moves. Then the match will end with Kane hitting the Tombstone on Edge. Kane should really win the title, I mean it's been 8 years and right now WWE is treating him like a mid-carder. Who agrees.
THE MAIN EVENT!
9. World Heavyweight Championship
The Undertaker vs. Batista
Winner: The Undertaker 20 mins
Batista has fought and beat every big name in the WWE except for The Undertaker. This should be a great match with them both hitting all their signature moves even Taker hitting his Suicide Dive over the top on Batista. Taker will win with the Tombstone Piledriver and finally( after being screwed so many times) will win the World Heavyweight Championship.
