Movie Reviews of WWE: WrestleMania XIX

Movie Review: Best WrestleMania--- Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

Cruiserweight Championship:
Matt Hardy V.1(Champion) w/ Shannon Moore vs. Rey Mysterio
This match was surprisingly short, but good. Shannon Moore carried the entire affair. ***

Undertaker vs. A-Train and Big Show
Not as horrible, horrible, waste of time as I suspected. Nathan Jones kicked Big Show, and all was made right. Undertaker really put A-Train in his place. ***

Women's Championship:
Victoria (Champion) w/ Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz
This match, while not stratusfying, was the best women's match I've seen. Disappointing ending, but what're you gonna do (not let Felina debut, that's for darned sure). Steven bops himself on the head. ****

WWE Tag Team Championship:
Team Angle (Champions) vs. Los Guerreros vs. Chris Benoit & Rhyno
Thank God for you, Team Angle. You do NOT suck. Neither does Eddie and Chavo's new entrance video. ***1/2

"HBK" Shawn Michaels vs. "Y2J" Chris Jericho
Best match of the night. A Macho Man vs. Ricky Steamboat, if ever there was one, aside from the original. For this not to be nominated for match of the year would be sodomy, plain and simple. *****

Limp Bizkit Concert ***

Catfight: Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler vs. Catfight Girls
Very entertaining until screwjob ending. **** (for entertainment and sheer technical mastery)

World Championship:
Triple H (Champion) w/ Ric Flair vs. Booker T
Good match, but with a pace similar to something out of WrestleMania 6 or 7. Cool Houston Hangover, but not much following except a pedigree. ***

Street Fight:
Vince McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan
Much better than anticipated, with some cool high spots and excellent geriatric bumps. Roddy Piper shocked the world by making his triumphant return, only to bop Hogan on the head. ****1/2

The Rock vs. Stone Cold
Better than WreslteMania XV, not as good as X-7. Stone Cold was clearly mentally and physically, well, not there. Surprising ending that seemed rather anti-climactic. ****

WWE Championship:
Kurt Angle (Champion) vs. Brock Lesnar
Very good match (considering the champ had a broken neck) with some excellent spots. Brock misses a shooting star press and bops himself on the head. ****1/2

In conclusion, it was the best WrestleMania in years, with many celebrities, many surprises, and many people getting bopped on the head.

Movie Review: The second best Wrestlemania ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

The reason I say it's the SECOND best Mania ever is because it still didn't have the top to bottom bang of Wrestlemania X-Seven. That's not a knock either, WM17 will likely never be topped.

Things that dropped it below 17 was as follows:

Slightly lackluster main event - Brock vs Angle has a great build-up, solid wrestling, and was a match the fans have wanted for some time, but with Angle going in with a broken neck, you knew already who was going to win and so did the crowd, so the arena was pretty quiet most of the match. Highlight is Brock's attempt at a Shooting Star Press. Still a solid match though. A technical match lover's dream.

Miller Light Cat Fight Girls - A total waste of time and an embarrassment to Wrestlemania's legacy. With the time these skanks got on camera, valuable minutes could have been added to some of the undercard matches, especially the tag team championship match. Everytime they open their mouths you want to punch your TV and throw up. I hate them so much.

Rock vs Austin - I know, I know, I said it was a highlight and it was, but this match only had a month of build-up so the emotion was not as high for the match, and secondly, it didn't match their stunning performance at WM17. It was still a very dramatic match. I mean, it's Rock/Austin. Rocky really carried the match.

So there, without spoiling everything there is my review. My advice, DO BUY this DVD. It is an EXCELLENT Mania. The card was great, there were 5 main event quality matches, and the wrestling was soild. No sloppy wrestling. The athleticism of this Mania in unparalleled. In this case, second best is not bad at all and a great compliment! A must for your collection.

Movie Review: Tops Wrestlemania X-7!
Summary: 5 Stars

WWE Championship Match
Kurt Angle(c) vs. Brock Lesnar
*****
-A spectacular match and possibly the greatest WM main-event ever. The WWE Title Match is on par with HBK/Jericho, even though Angle came in with a broken neck and some questioned if he would be 100%. Brock suffered a concussion too, after a botched Shooting Star Press, but amazingly, he was still able to deliver the F-5 to win the WWE Championship.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Rock
*****
-These two delivered one amazing match! Then again, who expected anything less? Austin and Rock had a tremendous battle that may have not been on the same page as their WM X-7 clash but it was still a great and full with false finishes and out of the ring brawling. This match will be historical as well because it may be Austin's last match.

Street Fight "20 Years in the Making":
Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. McMahon
****1/2
-Imagine that, two 50-year olds actually had a better match than Triple H and Booker T. Nobody expected much from this match but they were proven wrong when McMahon and Hogan tore the house down! Vince even brought out a ladder! Not to mention a suprise run-in from Roddy Piper!

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H(c) vs. Booker T
****
-A pretty good match, certainly not as good as it could have been but good none the less. There was even some mat wrestling supplied by "The Game" that is rarely seen nowadays. Kudos to Booker T who delivered an awesome Houston Hangtime. The finish was a little weak though.

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho
*****
-Tied with Brock/Angle as best match of the night, spectators expected this match to steal the show and did it ever! 20 minutes of great wrestling, both countered hold-for-hold and this is HBK's best match in a while.

Plus:

Triple-Threat WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Charlie Haas(c) & Shelton Benjamin(c) vs Eddie Guerrero & Chavo Guerrero vs Chris Benoit & Rhyno

Triple-Threat Women Championship Match
Victoria(c) with Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz
