Wrestlemania 22
Chicago, Illinois
April 2, 2006
Michelle Williams sings "America the Beautiful"
(Wrestlemania video package follows)
World Tag Team Championship Match:
Big Show & Kane defeated Carlito & Chris Masters
Pretty good match up, with Kane and Big Show dominating most of it. Kane and Big Show end up retaining the titles, but lose it the next night on Monday Night RAW to the Spirit Squad.
Jonathon "The Coach" Coachman interviews Shawn Michaels
Money in the Bank Ladder Match:
Rob Van Dam defeated Ric Flair, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Finlay, & Matt Hardy to win the Money in the Bank briefcase
Not one of the best ladder matches i've seen but it was pretty good for a six way. RVD wins and uses the contract at ECW One Night Stand, to face, and defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship.
Josh Mathews interviews "Mean" Gene Okerland
Hall of Fame Introduction at Wrestlemania:
Inductees...
Bret Hart, Verne Gagne, The Blackjacks, Tony Atlas, William "The Refrigerator" Perry, "Sensational" Sherri Martel, Eddie Guerrero (Accepted by Vicki Guerrero), and "Mean" Gene Okerland.
United States Championship Match:
John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated Chris Benoit
Lets just say Chris Benoit should have never lost the title. JBL cheated to win. JBL lost the title to Bobby Lashley on the Friday Night Smackdown right after Judgement Day.
Hardcore Match:
Edge defeated Mick Foley
Edge beat Mick Foley at his own game. The ending came when Edge speared Foley of the ring apron onto a flaming table. Edge and Foley teamed up later on and at ECW One Night Stand defeated Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer.
Booker T and Sharmell walking through the hallways backstage with Sharmell
Todd Grisham interviews the winners of the Wrestlemania sweepstakes
Boogey Man defeated Booker T & Sharmell:
Sleeper match of the night. I don't even know why they had this match at Wrestlemania. It wasn't even funny. The crowd was so quiet during this match I don't even think they were paying attention.
WWE Womens Championship Match:
Mickie James defeated Trish Stratus
Boring match also. But good enough because of the diva action!
Mr.McMahon in his Dressing Room w/ his family, Praying to God
Casket Match:
Undertaker defeated Mark Henry
Solid match. Really slow though because they're two big men. Best part was when Undertaker soars over the top of the casket onto Mark Henry on the outside of the ring. Undertaker wins and his keeps up his winning streak with 14-0.
No-Holds Barred Match:
Shawn Michaels defeated Vince McMahon
Shawn Michaels wins after interference by The Spirit Squad and Shane McMahon. Hilarious part when Shawn Michaels shoved Shane McMahons head up Vince McMahon's butt. Vince thought it was Shawn, but realized it was Shane when he turned around and Shane was passed out and Shawn Sweet Chin Musiced him. This match leads up to the return of DX which happens at Vengeance.
Triple Threat Match World Heavywieght Championship Match:
Rey Mysterio defeated Randy Orton and Kurt Angle
Rey Mysterio pinned Randy Orton to win. Kurt Angle didn't even have to be invovled in the pin. Rey Mysterio loses the title to King Booker at the Great American Bash after interference by Chavo Guerrero.
Triple H and John Cena warming up Backstage
Playboy Pillow Fight:
Torrie Wilson defeated Candice Michelle
I think Candice should have won. She is way hotter. Junk wrestling match but great to see girls roll around in the ring woohoo!
WWE Championship Match: John Cena defeated Triple H
Match of the night. The crowd in Chicago hated Cena, they all wanted HHH to win the match. So did I. We all figured the return of D Generation X would come soon when Triple H gave Cena the DX signature crotch chop. Also earlier in the Michaels McMahon Match, Shawn did the Crotch Chop taunt on the top of the ladder. Well John Cena lost the title at ECW One Night Stand to Rob Van Dam due to outside interference from Paul E. Heyman.

Summary: 5 Stars
WWE Wrestlemania 22
Chicago, IL
Match #1 - WWE World Tag Team Championship - Kane & Big Show vs. Carlito & Chris Masters
-Nice opener, but Show and Kane really dominated throughout most of the match. The crowd was really into it, and in fact, you could really hear a lot of support for Carlito. The end of the match, with Masters and Carlito angry at each other, obviously leads you to believe that Carlito will become a "babyface."
RATING: 7/10
Match #2 - Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Ric Flair vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy vs. Finlay vs. Bobby Lashley
-Just like last year, this was an awesome match, really elevating the use of a ladder match. For 57 years old, Flair was excellent, and it was even better because you had diferent styles involved: Lashley is a big strong man, RVD is a high flyer, Benjamin is very versatile, etc. All-around excitement here.
RATING: 9.5/10
Match #3 - U.S. Championship - Chris Benoit vs. JBL
-Not a bad match, especially since you have Benoit involved. But, JBL grabs the title.
RATING: 6/10
Match #4 - Hardcore Match - Mick Foley vs. Edge
-Unbelievable! Arguably the most brutal, violent match in Wrestlemania history. You have to give Mick credit; he can still take all of that brutality. Edge showed that his experience in TLC matches was an advantage. The spear through the fire-lit table will be the most memorable part of this contest, even if Joey Styles sounded like he was dying.
RATING: 9.5/10
Match #5 - Boogeyman vs. Booker T & Sharmell
-As if there was ever a doubt about this one. Not much of a match; overshadowed by the gimmick of Boogeyman.
RATING: 5/10
Match #6 - WWE Women's Championship - Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James
-For a women's match, this was excellent. Moves were executed nicely, and the most important part: the crowd enjoyed it outside of just looking at the women. There was a huge support for Mickie, and I think she really deserves to be champion.
RATING: 7.5/10
Match #7 - Casket Match - Undertaker vs. Mark Henry
-Now we all know that there was no way Mark Henry would be the one to stop the Undertaker's streak, but they did put together a decent match. 'Taker will always be the man.
RATING: 7/10
Match #8 - No Holds Barred - Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon
-Great match, but more for excitement and entertainment than for the moves involved. Shane getting invloved was a plus, and Shawn's elbow drop from the 20 ft ladder was awesome. Great job.
RATING: 8.5/10
Match #9 - World Heavyweight Championship - Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton
-Pretty good, but too short. I knew Rey would win, but I just don't see him as a Heavyweight champion. Kurt was great as usual, and Randy did OK. But, it left a lot to be desired.
RATING: 7/10
Match #10 - Playboy Pillow Fight - Torrie Wilson vs. Candice Michelle
-This wasn't a match at all, just really time to kill before the last match. The only good part of all of this was seeing them with little on, but I've seen that so many times without much wrestling and it can get redundant.
RATING: 2/10
Match #11 - WWE Championship - John Cena vs. Triple H
-I was really hoping that the Game would end Cena's dopey reign, but it was not to be. Still, it was an exciting match. It went back and forth numerous times, and the ending was filled with uncertainty and excitement. All in all, a great main event.
RATING: 9/10
Overall, this was an excellent Wrestlemania, definitely one of the better ones. In addition the that, though, you get the return of Saturday Night's Main Event in its entirety, AND the Hall of Fame ceremony in its entirety. Plus, you get to see the 2nd annual inter-promotional battle royal from before Wrestlemania, which is worth a look.
There is so much to look forward to on this 3-disc set, and it's definitely worth the price. Strongly recommended!

this build up last for months and finally we saw it. i wasnt reely expecting much from this. i thort i t may be a replay of wm 19 hogan an vince. but shawns attitude in this match interfences by shane the cheerleaders made this match a funny nail biting action pact fight my personal favorite of the night. iloved vinces giving everyone th finger after. i pissed my self. shawns comments like IM GUNNA KNOW UR TEETH DOWN UR THOUGH were awsum. high DAMN high was that ladder???
10/10
Triple threat
i thought this was goin to be the match of the night. it SUCKS it was only 10 minutes long. but damn they used there time well i dont think there was even one slow point in the match. rey entrance was COOL but was out done later in the night. i wanted kurt to retain
9/10
WWE title
John Cena vs HHH
the croud was soo into this match boooing cena it was unbeliveable. i dont think there was ONE person in the world who though cena would retain. outstange match by both men. cena performed well under the heat of the croud and the entrances were a laugh. a surprise ending no one expected look at the face in the croud after at one point the cameron shows a group of guy all mouthing out WHAAT THE F##K JUST HAPPEND. awsum match
10/10
this was an absaloutly awsum event it sure made up for last years mania awsum 5 STARS
Movie Review: Wrestlemania 22
Summary: 5 Stars
1.(Tag Team Championship)
Carlito & Chris Masters vs Kane & Big Show:
A decent opener to the PPV. Not exactly something that will get the crowd off their feet, but a suitable match nontheless. A 7 minute match, and probably not the best choice for the opener. 6.5/10
2.(Money in the Bank Ladder Match)
Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair vs RVD vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy vs Lashley:
My personal choice for opener would have been MITB. The match is filled with non stop action, and a few high spots. The crowd really gets into it as well. The low point is the ending, with an unspectacular finish at the 12 minute mark. Short, but sweet. 7.5/10
3.(United States Championship)
JBL vs Chris Benoit:
A good match in all, but Chris Benoit could carry a broom to a good match. The ending came rather abruptly, but the rest of the match was quite good. Some nice back and forth action, holds, and crowd invlovement in a good match. Good, not great, and nothing memorable. 7/10
4.(Hardcore Match)
Edge vs Mick Foley:
Ya know how every Mania is supposed to have memorable and breathtaking matches? Unlike others before it, this is one of those matches. Great action, with Edge and Mick giving it their all. Even the ending is great. Match of the night. 9/10
5.Boogeyman vs Sharmell & Booker T:
Bad squash match. That's all that needs to be said here. Garbage. 3/10
6.(Women's Championship)
Mickie James vs Trish Stratus:
A surprisingly good match. But that isn't really saying much if you look at the division in general. Kept to a good lengh of 8 minutes, a surprisingly active crowd, and a Women's match that doesn't suck, which is rare. 6.5/10
7.(Casket Match)
Mark Henry vs Undertaker:
Well, it's a good and bad match. Bad, is the wrestling which is atrocious. But this isn't really a wrestling match, as much as a gimmick, created to entertain. And it's pretty entertaining. a bit slow paced, and dragged on a bit for 15 minutes, but it's okay. 6/10
8.(No Holds Barred Match)
Shawn Michaels vs Mr McMahon:
Basically, this was a squashing of Mr McMahon. But in a good way. The entertainment here is priceless, and the match is pretty good. Long at over 18 minutes, but it serves it's purpose. Mr McMahon in a garbage can. LOL. 8/10
9.(World Heavyweight Championship)
The first world title match of the night. While things start out good, with some nice triple threat stuff, things go downhill quick. At the 5 minute mark, guys are already doing finishers, so you know the match would be quick. It was short, 9 minutes! I can't help but feel if the match was given more time, it could've been very good. Too short, but still somewhat sweet. 7/10
10.(WWE Championship)
Triple H vs John Cena:
This match had the potential to be a classic. But.. it somehow disappointed me. I mean, the match is good and all, but it just didn't live up. The match was a total of 22 minutes, but didn't feel as long. The match had just started getting good, when it ended. Neither man broke a sweat. A really good match, but this is Wrestlemania people! This could've been amazing. It wasn't. 8/10
Overall this was a pretty good Wrestlemania. It wasn't as good as 21, but it was still a very good PPV. A few duds in between, a disappointing main event, and a lack of true Mania feel bring it down though. What can I say? It's WRESTLEMANIA!!

Movie Review: great Wrestlemania
Summary: 5 Stars
(1) World Tag Team Championships Match
Kane and Big Show vs. Carlito and Chris Masters
7.5- This was a great way to open the event. I thought this was gonna be a bad match but turned out to be real good but nothing special. For and opener, this is a good match.
winners- kane and show
(2) Money in the Bank Ladder Match
RVD vs. Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Finlay vs. Matt Hardy vs. Bobby Lasley
9.5- This was a great ladder match. I would say it was pretty much even with WM 21's ladder match because there was different moves here that i never saw in a ladder match before. The guys who perform the best were matt hardy, RVD, and shelton.
winner- RVD
(3) United States Championship
Chris Benoit vs. JBL
8- i thought this was a well done wrestling match but nothing special. I did expect a little more but it was good anyway.
winner- JBL
(4) Hardcore Match
Edge vs. Mick Foley
10- this was an amazing hardcore match. a lot of weapons used here with of course lots of blood. i was upset they didnt fight up the ramp so much but the ending was amazing and made up for it.
winner- edge
(5) Womens Championship
Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James
8- perhaps the best womens match in WM history. this is a great womens match must see.
winner- mickie
(6) Boogeyman vs. Booker T
4- Booker deserved much better this was just a filler that shouldn't have been here. just hit the skip for this one.
winner- boogeyman
(7) Casket Match
Undertaker vs. Mark Henry
8- this wasn't the best casket match, but undertaker's dive over the casket onto henry and his powerbomb and tombstone made this match decent. it was too predictable though
(8) No holds barred match
HBK vs. Vince McMahon
9.5- surprisinly a really cool match. not much wrestling here just pure ass beating on vince by hbk. some real awesome spots in this match make it a must see.
winner- shawn michaels
(9) World heavyweight title triple threat
Rey Mysterio vs. kurt angle vs. Randy Orton
9- this was a really good match that had potential to be great if it was given more time. way too short for these 3 guys cuz their all so great. great match anyway with non-stop action all throughout
winner- mysterio
(10) pillow fight candice vs. torrie
3-what the f*** is this. in between 2 title matches was just horrible. people in the crowd were chanting "boring" . skip waste of time other than the girls were hot
winner- i forget and who cares anyway
(11) WWE title
John Cena vs. Triple H
9- this was a real good match surprisingly. i thought this was gonna trully suck but it was great. the fans helped this one out because of how much they were into this match. otherwise, this was one of the best wrestling matches of the night with near falls and good counters. i wish hhh woulda won but great anyway.
winner- john cena
This was a really good wrestlemania i loved it. most of the matches were good except 2 but thats why the skip button was invented. buy this dvd not only for the event, but for the hall of fame and saturday night's main event.
