Movie Reviews of WWE WrestleMania 24
Movie Review: The Grand Spectacle of Sports-Entertainment!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The 24th-Annual Sports Entertainment extravaganza gets a DVD set worthy of the event itself, which took place at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida, on March 30th of this year. Terrific matches such as the Money In The Bank Match, which featured as participants Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Mr. Kennedy, MVP (Montel Vontavious Porter), John Morrison, Carlito and winner C.M. Punk; A Boxer versus Wrestler Match, with Floyd Mayweather versus the Big Show; Brand Supremacy Match, with Smackdown's! Batista facing Raw's Umaga; a Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjack Match with several of the WWE Divas; a Career-Threatening Match with Shawn Michaels defeating "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, whose 35+Year career came to an end and not one, not two, but THREE Championship Matches, with Chavo Guerrero falling very quickly to the Big Red Monster, Kane, a WWE Triple-Threat Match, with Champion Randy Orton defending against Triple-H and John Cena and a World Heavyweight Championship Match, with Edge defending against the 15-0 Wrestlemania winning streak of the Phenom, the Undertaker, who added the World Heavyweight Championship and his 16th Wrestlemania victory to his belt notches. But, even if this were all that was on the set, it would be enough, but the WWE goes the extra mile and brings us the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony, which inducts Jack and Jerry Brisco, Gordon Solie, Eddie Graham, Mae Young, High Chief Peter Maivia, Soulman Rocky Johnson and the one most anticipated, Nature Boy Ric Flair, who gave a very memorable hour-long speech. The Brisco brothers were inducted by John Bradshaw Layfield; Gordon Solie was inducted by Jim Ross; Eddie Graham was inducted by his son Mike; Mae Young was inducted by Mean Gene Okerlund; High Chief Peter Maivia was inducted by his wife and daughter; Rocky Johnson was inducted by his son, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Ric Flair was inducted by Triple-H. I highly, VERY highly, recommend this set.Movie Review: Wrestlemania 24!

Movie Review: Best Wrestlemania in a long time
Summary: 5 Stars
As Wrestlemania 24 was getting closer I couldn't help to think that it wasn't going to be that great. Well, I'm glad to admit I was totally wrong. Wrestlemania 24 was not only great but it was full of emotion and it was very close of being flawless. For me, a 30 year old guy who's been a fan for 20 + years not only of WWF/E but also NWA (WCW), AWA, WWC, WCCW, ECW, etc, this Wrestlemania was one of the best ever.
By far and without a shadow of a doubt the best match of the evening was The Nature Boy Ric Flair against the Showstopper Shawn Michaels. As the match was coming to an end I couldn't help to drop some tears as I (and everyone watching) was able to see how history's been written. Hats off to Ric Flair and HBK for giving a magisterial performance.
Another match I enjoyed very much was the Money in the bank match, even though I wanted Chris Jericho to win. I'm not a big fan of watching wrestlers putting their body's on the line like that (don't get me wrong, I loved the old ECW) but I'll have to admit it was very very entertaining. 5 stars!
Well, I hope WWE events continue to have the same impact as this Wrestlemania. All matches were from Ok to amazing. The only 2 matches that I didn't enjoy were the Bunny mania and the ECW title match.
Enjoy a piece of history!
Movie Review: CLASSIC WRESTLEMANIA
Summary: 5 Stars
This was by far the best Wrestlemania...perhaps I'm biased because I was actually THERE on the floor (and also at the Hall of Fame Ceremony the night before), but the overall caliber of matches has been far higher than those of the last three to four Wrestlemanias. Pretty good considering that it rained there the majority of the time during the event!
I'm not going to go into detail on every match, but I will admit I was torn on which one stole the show. It's a toss up between the Money in the Bank ladder match and Ric Flair's final match (the sole reason I flew almost 4000 miles to Orlando). The MITB had some of the best spots I've seen in a match in a long time, and the retirement match...well it's up there simply for the ending...its historic. I can now tell my kids when they grow up and get into wrestling that their dad was at Ric Flair's final match as well as his induction into the Hall of Fame.
And I'm not ashamed to say it, I cried at the Hall of Fame and I cried after the match...I'm sure anyone who was there would say it too.
I can't wait for the DVD. Hopefully I can go to Wrestlemania next year in Houston...we shall see. In the meantime, most definately five stars.
