Movie Reviews of WWE Wrestlemania XX
Movie Review: Not the best WM or PPV ever, but still brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
WrestleMania XXUS Title
John Cena V Big Show
At first Big Show dominates a lot. Near the end it gets good though, with 2 FUs and Cena using brass knucks. The crowd were into it, and overall it was a nice opener to the show. 7/10
World Tag Titles
Booker and RVD V Dudleys V La Resistance V Jindrak & Cade
The rules of the match a pretty stupid really, it would have been better with just 2 teams. However it gets pretty good towards the end, with RVD hitting the 5-star frog splash. 6/10
Christian V Chris Jericho
To be honest I wasn't really expecting it, but I really liked this match. They did some great moves and the pace was great. It never got boring and was enjoyable all the way through. Also there's a great twist at the end. 9/10
Evolution (Flair/Orton/Batista) V Rock & Sock Connection
It's a shame that Foley and Orton didn't have their hardcore match at this event rather than Backlash the next month. However this was a good match, with some good moments. Flair and Rock worked really well together. Also Rock's promo before the match is pretty cool. 7/10
Playboy Evening Gown Match
Sable & Torrie V Stacey & Jackie
This match was very bad, and wasted time in which some good wrestlers (like Matt Hardy) could have had a match. CRAP! 1/10
Cruiserweight Title Open
Chavo V Noble V Funaki V Ultimo V Rey V Nunzio V Tajiri V Shannon V Kidman
This could have been longer, but there were still some good moves, as you'd expect from the cruiserweights. Kidman and Rey were both great The best part was Kidman's shooting star press to the outside of the ring. The match format was interesting too, with 2 men in at a time. Also, look out for Funaki, who lasts just 3 seconds! 8/10
Goldberg V Brock Lesnar
Special referee = Stone Cold Steve Austin
This match had loads of buildup and could have been awesome. However it was a massive disappointment. Both Brock and Goldberg were leaving after this match, and the crowd knew it. The match was very bad too, with barely any moves, except a few specials. The staredown at the start was stupidly long too and very boring. Disappointment of the night by far! At least Austin stunners both Brock and Goldberg after though. 3/10
WWE Tag Titles
Scotty & Rikishi V APA V Bashams V TWGTT
Another fatal four-way? Again, it would have been better with just 2 teams, although there was buildup between these 4. The ending was a bit sudden, but overall this was a decent match. It seemed even better after the Brock/Goldberg crap. 6/10
Women's Title
Victoria V Molly
This could have been a little bit longer actually, as it could have been one of the better women's matches. Then again maybe being short saved it. A roll-up ending by Victoria meant Molly got her head shaved, which was pretty funny and gets the match an extra star. 5/10
WWE Title
Eddie Guerrero V Kurt Angle
A very good technical match, I liked it a lot. It was just as good as the Jericho/Christian match. They do lots of cool technical moves, and there are some cool near finishes. In the end Eddie unties his boot, and kicks it off when Kurt goes for an ankle lock and then get the roll-up for the win. A unique and cool ending! 9/10
Undertaker V Kane
Undertaker's return was very cool, with the whole arena going dark, and then Paul Bearer coming out. Finally Taker came out. It's a shame his attire isn't that different though, he just comes to the ring with a hat and coat thing. Kane's entrance was also pretty cool. As for the match though, it was too short. Taker goes for old school but Kane reverses and chokeslams Taker. Taker sits up and then does his chokeslam followed by Tombstone for the 1 2 3. It was a good match but far too short. I'll give it an extra star for the return of the Dead-Man style Undertaker and the entrances. 7/10
World Heavyweight Title
Chris Benoit V Triple H V Shawn Michaels
This was an amazing triple threat match. I was surprised they didn't use any weapons, but Shawn gets busted open and bleeds loads. Triple H also bleeds quite a lot, and there's a great spot where HHH and HBK double suplex Benoit from the Spanish announce table through the Smackdown announce table. There some really close near falls, good submissions and loads of brilliant moves. It was great at the end as Shawn is thrown out of the ring and Benoit makes The Game tap out to the crippler crossface. Finally Benoit won the title (he should have done about 3 or 4 years ago, but that made this even more special). Then Eddie comes out to congratulate him. 2 friends who entered the WWE together had climbed to the top of the mountain, as Eddie had won his WWE first title a month earlier at No Way Out and then successfully defended against Kurt earlier in the night. There couldn't have been a more perfect ending to WrestleMania XX as Eddie and Benoit hug each other and celebrate their wins. 10/10
Overall
The event was way too over hyped. This wasn't the best PPV ever, it actually wasn't the best WrestleMania ever either. WrestleMania X-Seven is still the best WM and PPV ever. However this was still a great event and well worth buying. The top 3 matches are World Title, WWE Title and Jericho/Christian. Also there are loads of extras on the DVD.
Movie Review: WRESTLEMNIA 20. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN AGAIN
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrestlemania 20 was a great one.Not in the top three,but still very,very good.Some matches didnt live up to the hype,while others were great when they werent expected to be.Here are the ratings for the matches:1.WWE U.S.Championship:John Cena vs Big Show[ch]
This was an okay opener.Ive seen better but it was okay nonetheless.
rating:7.25
2.World Tag Team Championship Fatal Four Way Match:
Booker T& RVD vs La Resistance vs Garrison Cade & Mark Jindrak vs The Dudley Boyz
This was a pretty good match.Starts slow but gets a little better at the end.
rating:7.75
3.Chris Jericho vs Christian
Excellent.Superb match match with classic wrestling.I didnt expect this much but these two gave us a damn good match.
rating:9.25
4.Handicap match:
The Rock'N'Sock Connection vs Evolution
I didnt expect the match to be this great either!I mean,it had the effects for a great match,but for some reason i didnt think it would be.I was proved wrong!Great,hilarious moments between the rock and flair.I was surprised Evolution fought well without cheating.
rating:9
5.First Ever Playboy Evening Gown Match:
Torrie Wilson & Sable vs Miss Jackie & Stacy Keibler
Theres a good things here and bad things here.Ill put it simple.Great that they were in their underwear!Terrible wrestling.
rating:5[most of it is the undressed part]
6.First Ever Cruserweight Open for the WWE Cruserweight Championship:Tajiri vs Akio vs Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero[ch] vs Ultimo Dragon vs Jamie Noble vs Funaki vs Shannon Moore vs Nunzio vs Billy Kidman
This match was very fast paced and well done.Hilarious when Ultimo Dragon slips on his cape not once,but twice during his entrance!!This match has many great techniques and manuvers[i know its spelled wrong].Shoulde been longer though.Very well done.
rating:8.75
7.Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar
Special Guest refree:Stone Cold Steve Austin
WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS??????
THIS MATCH WAS SO HYPED!!!
IT WAS A DUD!WHAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST IS THAT IT HAD ALL THE MAKINGS FOR A MATCH NOONE WOULD FORGET.EVER.BUT IT WASNT!!
This really sucked.All they do in the beggining is stare for about ten minutes.literally.This match sucked.Dissapointment of the YEAR!!!MAYBE OF THE CENTURY!The only good part was stone cold stunning both of them after the match.THANK GOD FOR THAT.THATS THE ONLY REASON I DONT GIVE THIS MATCH A ZERO!!
rating:5 because of stone cold stunnering them both for revenge[and maybe for a sucky perfomance]
8.WWE Tag Team Team Championship Fatal Four Way:
Too cool[ch] vsAPA vs Worlds Greatest Tag Team vs Basham Brothers
Same as the previous fatal four way,but for smackdown instead.
This one was more fast paced and lasted shorter time.Pretty good like the other.
rating:7.75
9.Womens Championship:Molly Holly vs Victoria[ch]
Special Stipulation:If molly loses,her head gets shaved.
Pretty good effort by both women.Still not great,but better than most womens matches.
rating:6.75
10.WWE Championship:Eddie Guerrero[ch] vs Kurt Angle
These two showed what they were made of here.I never expected eddie to hang in this well with an athlete like kurt angle,but he did,he even took it to angle.Fantastic counters by eddie and great moves by both men as well.A great finish ive never seen been done before.Excellent contest with nothing but pure mat wrestling.
rating:9.75
11.Kane vs The Undertaker
I would love to give ratings for these mens entrances since they were perfect.
Entrance ratings:10
Seeing the return of the undertaker return is a classic wrestlemania moment as he returns to the his evil,dark roots.Anyway,these two put on a good show.IN my opinion,Undertaker shouldve returned sooner to make the actual MATCH,and not just the return,more hyped.Pretty okay match,but nothing compared to their match at wrestlemania 14.Great moment
in this match with the return though.
match rating:8
Overall rating[both match and entrance]:8.75
12.Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Chris Benoit vs Shawn Micheals vs Triple H
There is no such thing as just ONE wrestlemnia main event that can be called the best in history.its impossible to choose just one.There are however,Many Classic main events to be called the greatest instead of just one.This is one of them.This match was nothing but sheer classic,wrestling match.This is one of the greatest wrestlemnia main events of ALL TIME.30 minutes of matt based talent,and heart,and soul.This is what all three men gave.
A very emotional ending.This ranks up there with the greats.This was the main event of wrestlemania 20,where it all began again.
rating:10
Wrestlemania 20 was an excellent event.Not the best wrestlemania,But that doesnt mean its not one hell of an amazing pay-per view!!!!I highly recommend this dvd.Aside from one huge dud,the rest more than makes up for it.This was wrestlemania.Get it NOW!
Movie Review: Two Tremendous Main Events and a Decent Undercard
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrestlemania XX will remain one of my favorite Wrestlemanias ever, primarily because the two main events, especially the Raw main event. Those two matches alone are worth buying this DVD.
Big Show (C) v. John Cena
This is a pretty poor match. Put it this way, the Big Show isnt a great wrestler, and Cena only looks good when he's put in there with someone whose very talented. Not a great way to start the show, but for some reason, Cena was pretty over with the crowd so it got them pumped for the rest of the event.
Booker T & Rob Van Dam v. The Dudley Boys v. La Resistance v. Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade
This match was alright. The teams had good chemistry together, but Jindrak and Cade looked a little lost out there. The Dudleys and La Resistance are talented tag team wrestlers, and Booker and RVD always look good, so this is worth watching.
Christian v. Chris Jericho
This was a great match, with a nice surprise ending. Christian and Jericho are two very talented guys and I'm glad that they were given plenty of time for this match. This is the first really good match of the night.
Evolution v. the Rock & Sock Connection
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Neither the Rock nor Mick Foley had wrestled recently, but they looked great out there together. Batista was dominant as always, and Ric Flair was just fun to watch. Orton looked a little lost but he pulled it together half way through and helped out the match quite a bit.
Torrie Wilson & Sable v. Stacy Kiebler & Jackie Gayda, Playboy Evening Gown Match
If you want a wrestling match, skip this one. None of these four are good wrestlers. However, they are alot of fun to look at, so if you're in to that, go ahead and take a peek.
Cruiserweight Invitational: Chavo Guerrero v. Jamie Noble v. Funaki v. Ultimo Dragon v. Rey Mysterio v. Nunzio v. Tajiri v. Shannon Moore v. Billy Kidman
Yet again the cruiserweights are not given enough time. You have some tremendous talent in here, with the likes of Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Tajiri and Kidman, but this match just came off hurried and dull. Still fun to watch because these guys can perform some great moves, but not as good as it should have been.
Bill Goldberg v. Brock Lesnar, Special Guest Referee Steve Austin
I really didnt expect much from this one. Lesnar is an awful wrestler and Goldberg isnt all that much better. The most interesting part of this match was listening to the fans abuse Lesnar and Goldberg. Austin really made this match interesting. Both guys were leaving the company, and really the company was better off, especially without Lesnar. Worth a laugh, but not much to see here. It was nice to see someone beat the hell out of Lesnar, who is usually just allowed to dominate.
Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi v. the Basham Brothers v. the APA v. World's Greatest Tag Team
This match was a little better than the Raw version, given the incredible talent and skill that Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas possess. Scotty 2 Hotty and Ron Simmons both looked really good out there. Even the Bashams and JBL looked okay. Rikishi was fairly typical of his normal stuff, but this is worth watching.
Victoria v. Molly Holly
This was probably the end of the woman's division on Raw. It was one of the last good women's wrestling matches. These two are fairly decent, and although having Trish and Lita in there would have made it a very good match, this was still decent, although it was way too rushed.
Eddie Guerrero (C) v. Kurt Angle
This match was great. Eddie and Kurt are two amazingly talented wrestlers and they put on a hell of a show. The ending was especially great, and this match was just so much fun to watch.
Undertaker v. Kane
While this match wasnt quite as good as the Wrestlemania XIV version, it was still pretty good. It's nice to see the Deadman Gimmic back, but I think Undertaker was a little too dominating for this match to be taken seriously instead of just as another Undertaker beating.
Triple H (C) v. Chris Benoit v. Shawn Michaels
This is easily one of the greatest matches in Wrestlemania history. These three put on a tremendous contest, that went back and forth and sideways and seemed like it could end a thousand times but someone always made the save. A very exciting match, and definitely worth the cost of the whole DVD by itself.
Wrestlemania ended with one of the greatest moments in wrestling history, the two champions Guerrero and Benoit, standing in the middle of the ring celebrating. Benoit finally got the recognition he deserves, even though he may never get the title back again. But what a great time for professional wrestling. Guerrero and Benoit, two tremendous wrestlers, are the champions. Compare this to after Wrestlemania XXI where Batista and Cena were champions. Notice the difference?
Movie Review: An AMAZING Show
Summary: 5 Stars
Match #1 U.S Title Big Show (c) V.s John Cena
Smackdown gives us a good match to kick off WrestleMania.Not the best match on the card but also not the worst.It was cool to see cena win his first title,the U.S Title!
Rating: 75/100
Match #2 Raw Fatal Four way tag match
An average match that hade La Resististance,The Dudley boyz,Mark Jindrak & Garrison cade,and The champs RVD & Booker T.Although it was better than the Smackdown one,the match was to short but it was nice to see Booker T & Rvd Retain
Rating: 71/100
Match #3 Christain v.s Chris Jerico
A much better match than i thought.It had soo many near falls,near submissions,and best of all,In the end,IT HAD TRISH.Christain wins the match win Chris Jerico Is Screwed By Trish and is seen kissing with christain at the ramp moments later.
Rating: 82/100
Match #4 Rock & Sock Conecction v.s 3 members of Evolution.
IF YA SMELL WHAT THE ROCK AND SOCK IS COOKIN.Wow a very good match,i thout it would be an average match but i was wrong.A bit better than Christain v.s Chris Jerico,this matches only down fall was foley got pinned after only one RKO!It took an Rko on to barbie to beat him at Backlash and he alread had indured SOOOO much more.Great match.
Rating: 84/100
Match #5 Lingre match.I cant rate this but i can say this,WATCH IT OR ELSE!
Match #6 Cruiserweight Open
A very good display of high flying moves by all the cruiserweights involved.They are exlusive to smackdown and they showed us all here why smackdown is lucky to have them.There were two bad thing though.1st,The match was Way to short and second,Rey got screwed!
Match Rating: 83/100
Match #7 Goldberg v.s Brock Lesner (read the whole thing)
WOW!A FAST PASED MATCH WITH MANY NEAR FALLS AND TONS OF HEAVYWEIGHT MOVES!did i mention that that is the EXACT OPPISITE OF THE MATCH!This match was slow pased,1 or 2 near falls,and they spent like 5 minutes in a staredown.Worst match of the night and most dissapointing!
Rating: 42/100
Match #8 Smackdown Fatal Four way tag Match
a not very goood match.worse than the Raw one.It was even shorter than the raw tag team match.It involved The World Greatest Tag Team,The APA,The Bashams and Scotty & Rikishi.
Rating: 66/100
Match #9 Victoria v.s Molly (losser get head shaved)
A good match for a womans title match.That other guy was right,the pinfall came out of no where.The best part was molly got her Head SHAVED!
Rating: 63/100
Match #10 WWE Title match Eddie Guerrero (c) V.s Kurt Angle
WOW!A great match from start to finish!Many many many near falls,a couple finishers,and the kicked out of many finishers.I Just loved the Middle.When Kurt Kicked out of the frog splash,Eddie kicked out of the Angle Slam.And he got Eddie Guerrero in the Ankle Lock.In the end I Really Thought Eddie was gonna tap when Kurt Angle Locked in the Ankle lock for the second time.Eddie Retained when Eddie untied his boot and Kurt Angle locked in the Ankle Lock and it slipped Eddie's Boot off and Eddie Guerrero Got the roll up tp Retain.What a match!He was Taunting Kurt Angle outside of the Ring after the match!
Rating: 92/100
Match #11 Undertaker v.s Kane
Nothing real special about the match but,Undertakers Entrance,now that was Special.It was a slow match about 13min long.Kane thoght he had Undertaker beat when he hit the Choke Slam but taker got up and gave him a Choke Slam and the a TombStone!
Rating: 78/100
The Main Event World Title match Chris Beniot V.s HBK v.s HHH(c)
OMG!One of the best matches ive seen in a long,long time!Many near falls,Many finishers,and there was even a table bump!Shawn Michales would have tapped out To The Crippler Crossface but Triple H Broke up the hold after holding his hand up so he couldent tap out.As i said,There was a table bumb when Chris Beniot was Suplexed Through the Spanish (As usual) Announce Table!This match Would have gotten Match of the Year if There wasn't The Hell In A Cell Match Shawn Michales V.s Triple H at Bad Blood.If this isn't on the top 5 wrestlemania matches ill be mad!if it's not even on the top ten (it easilly will be) I will sue WWE.Thes Three Superstars gave it there all but in the end,it was Chris Beniot who Made Triple H Tap to the CrossFace after about 1min who would Walk out as the NEW Wold Heavyweight Champion.After the match he and his long time Friend Eddie Guerrero celebrated on Eddie Guerrero Retaining The WWE Title And Chris Beniot,after all these years,finnally winning the World Heavyweight title.A legendary Match that you must watch!

Match 12: 3 way match for the World Heavyweight Championship: HHH(c) vs. HBK vs. Chris Beniot
and heres the results with a review n rating from 1 to 10
1: John Cena def. Big Show for the US Championship
A great opener for wrestlemania! Slow at some points but still entertaining. No big deal that Cena hit the FU on big show, weve seen better before though. Show basically dominated until the ending, which stinks. Match Rating...7
2: World Tag Team Champions RVD & Booker T win the fatal 4 way match
A nice follow up from the opener but this match shouldve either been an elimination match or been put on RAW to add some more time to the cruiserweight open. Not that bad but at least Booker T n RVD retain. Match Rating...6
3: Christian def. Chris Jericho
These 2 always put on great matches, and always have some controversial ending. I saw it coming, Trish screws Y2J out of winning at wrestlemania, at least i enjoy watching both stars. Match Rating...8
4: Evolution def. Rock & Sock Connection
Evolution got what they deserved, a great team is reunited at wrestlemania, the Rock and Sock Connection, even though they lost by an RKO. This match was pretty good, though there was no need for the the huge buildup, overall a good match. Match rating...8
5: Playboy evening gown match
skip it, should have never been part of wrestlemania, 4 wrestling: 0/10, for entertainment, i guess overall it should get more. Match Rating...4
6: Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero Jr. wins the Cruiserweight Open
Great Cruiserweight match, fast paced, but way 2 short!!! if we took out some matches, there could be more time put into this. But for the good part there are a lot of good spots along with a screwjob ending. Match Rating...7
7: Goldberg def. Brock Lesnar
Should I call this a real match or a waste of time. The first five minutes are a staredown, which is basically half the match, few good moves, might as well skip it. Match Rating...5
8: Tag Team Champs Scotty & Rikishi win the 4 way match
Again shouldve been an elimination match, but it was still a good match. Why are all Smackdown matches so short and fast paced!? But this was just as good as raws tag team match.
Match Rating...6
9: Victoria def. Molly Holly for the Womens Championship
A decent womens match with a great stiplation! Molly shaves her head bald! Way, way better than the other womans match earlier! Match Rating...6
10: Eddie Guerrero def. Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship
A great great Smackdown match, Eddie lies cheats and steals 2 win the match as always!! Perfect timing with all the reversals and moves! I wouldve never thought of what eddie did 2 win! Great match! Match Raring...9
11: Undertaker def. Kane
A great enterance by the undertaker 2 start things off, kane acted like a baby at the beginning of the match. I thought it would b better but it was slow paced and short. For takers enterance, I'll give it a higher rating. Match Rating...8
12: World Heavyweight Championship Chris Beniot def. Triple H & Shawn Michaels
A great long awesome wrestlemania main event!!! HHH taps out to the crossface! Some teamups occured during the match, which just made it better. A lot of blood was spilled out of hbk n hhh. A great celebration at the end with beniot n eddie, the champions. Match Rating...10
Overall Rating 84/120 = 70/100, which is worth 3 1/2 stars
I reccomend this 2 any WWE Fan
