Movie Reviews of WWE Wrestlemania XX
Movie Review: Great, but I've seen better
Summary: 5 Stars
I got WrestleMania XX as a Christmas gift, and it was pretty good. It's not the best WM, but it's up there (WrestleManias 17 and 19 were better).
1: WWE United States Championship: Big Show Vs. John Cena
Big Show gave the Doctor of Thuganomics a couple of good shots, but Cena managed to beat him after 2 FUs. The first one Show kicked out of, but John hit the 2nd one after striking Show w/ one of his Word Life brass knuckles. 4/5
2: World Tag Team Championship: Fatal Four Way Match: Rob Van Dam/Booker T Vs. Dudley Boyz Vs. Garrison Cade/Mark Jindrak Vs. La Resistance
Decent match, with Booker and RVD retaining the gold. 3/5
3: Chris Jericho Vs. Christian
Great match between the former friends. The CLB wins after Trish interferes and accidentally hits Jericho, allowing Christian to roll up Y2J for the 3 count. This would be the start of Trish's heel run. 4/5
4: 2-3 Handicap Tag Team Match: The Rock and Mick Foley Vs. Evolution (Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and Batista)
The Rock returns to the ring to team up with Rock and Sock tag team partner Mick Foley. While the Rock electrified the crowd w/ the People's Elbow (and adding in his version of Flair's strut for good measure), he and Foley lose after Randy hits the RKO on Foley (who tried to use Socko). 5/5
5: Playboy Evening Gown Match: Sable and Torrie Wilson Vs. Stacy Keibler and Miss Jackie
The Raw and SmackDown divas never cease to amaze me. Even though the 4 of them don't really wrestle, I loved the match. Instead of having to defeat each other by tearing off their gowns, Sable suggests that they all take their gowns off and wrestle without them (in lingerie). All of the divas are all for it, except Miss Jackie, who had to have hers torn off by Torrie and Sable. After a few near falls (some very nice rollups), Torrie pins Miss Jackie, giving her and Sable the win. 5/5
6: WWE Cruiserweight Championship Open: Chavo Guerrero Vs. Jamie Noble Vs. Funaki Vs. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Rey Mysterio Vs. Nunzio Vs. Tajiri Vs. Shannon Moore Vs. Billy Kidman
A pretty fast-paced match, but I think it was over too quick. Chavo ends up retaining the title after his dad helps him pin Rey Mysterio. 3/5
7: Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar: Special Guest Referee: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
It's not as bad as some people have said. Sure they didn't do much for a moment, but they started to battle later. Goldberg wins after a Spear and Jackhammer. Austin then stuns Lesnar and Goldberg. 4/5
8: WWE Tag Team Championship: Fatal Four Way Match: Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi Vs. APA Vs. Basham Brothers Vs. Benjamin/Haas
Same comments as Raw match, the champions retain their titles. 3/5
9: WWE Women's Championship: Victoria Vs. Molly Holly
If Molly loses this, she gets her head shaved. Molly tries to use Victoria's Widow's Peak, but Victoria counters w/ a backslide pin, thus winning the match. Molly tries to escape from Victoria, but it's to no avail. Molly got what she deserved. A very close shave, you could say. lol 4/5
10: WWE Championship Match: Eddie Guerrero Vs. Kurt Angle
A great match. Eddie and Kurt pulled out all of their best moves in this one. I thought the match was over when Eddie hit the frog splash. Unfortunately, Kurt kicked out. Eddie would retain his title after cheating (unlacing his boot) and rolling up Kurt. 5/5
11: Undertaker Vs. Kane
Not their best match, but close. It was also a little rushed. Taker's new look is okay, but I prefer his 1999 Deadman look. Kane would fall to the Taker after getting the Tombstone. 3/5
12: World Heavyweight Championship: Triple Threat Match: Triple H Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Shawn Michaels
These 3 are some of the best superstars in the WWE today, although I'm not a fan of H-Boy. There were times when 2 of the men would briefly team up (HHH and HBK suplex Benoit through an announce table), but still it was every man for himself. The 3 men gave all they had in this match, and eventually Benoit would win after putting the Crossface on H-Boy, making him tap out. After the match, Eddie would come out and embrace his friend for his victory. 5/5
Movie Review: Not perfect, but just enough to live up to the hype.
Summary: 5 Stars
With all the hype for Wrestlemania XX at MSG, I knew it was very difficult from the begining to to live up to the hype. I can't say it was the best Wrestlemania ever, but far from the worst, and improving from Wrstlemania XIX the previous year.John Cena Vs. Big Show - Ends up being an entertaining match, it could have been longer though. The ending went well, as Cena became the new U.S. champ to jump-start the crowd on the right foot. I personally would have liked Big how winning, cause I thought he gave the better effort. Solid match overall.
Chris Jericho Vs. Christian - Not as good as the two men are capable of being, but had some nice moves to it. The ending was kind of funny. Not a great but fun match.
Booker T & RVD Vs. The Dudley Boys Vs. La Resistance Vs. Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade - Not a whole lot of exitement in this match, there was nice moves here and there, with Booker & RVD doing most of the work and end up retaining their World Tag Titles
Randy Orton, Ric Flair and Batista AKA Evolution Vs. The Rock and Mick Foley AKA Rock N' Sock Connection- Well entertaing for the most part, Flair is a legend but really should retire, Foley and Rock are not what they once were. Had some great moves, and the ending could have been better. But still a nice watch.
Evening Gown Match- Sable & Torrie Wilson Vs. Jackie Gayda & Stacy Keibler - Strictly for the men who seemed to have loved it, forget the fighting, it was not special in this mactch.
10-Man Cruiserweight Championship - Overall not fun, brutal to watch some pinfalls. With Chavo Guerrero retaing his title.
Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar and Stone Cold Steve Austin as special guest referee- Why did I know this match would be the most critisized out of all of them. The Hype was definetily there. I am hearing people say it was the worst match they have ever seen, Yeah Right! Seeing Brock getting Spheread
and Jackhammered and Goldberg getting F-5'd was fun to see. The problem though is that it had a 5 minute stare-down before the fighting even began. Kind of slow, and both men were testing each others power rather than doing more wrestling moves on each other. It should have invlved more physical wrestling for it's macth length. It was said to be the last match for both Goldberg and Lesnar going in to the match, as the Crowd was yelling at Lesnar, saying he was a sellout, and people were even chanting Goldberg sucks, The Crowd was even rooting for Austin more than thos e two. It was like they wanted Austin to wrestle in the match in a three-way, not that there would have been anything wrong with that, but Austin gave the Fans what they wanted by stunning both men, Austin is just the man.
Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi Vs. APA Vs. basham brothers Vs. The Self-proclaimed World's greatest Tag Team - I thought it was a goos effort by all men, Not that Great but Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty retained their Tag Titles.
Victoria Vs. Molly Holly- Not exactly excellent, but had some very good moves with Victoria coming out on top. Molly Holly ends up getting her haed shaved bald by Victoria, due to the match stipulation. Funny moment.
Kurt Angle Vs. Eddie Guerrero- Not a classic but still very entertaining, Had some nice high-flying action, Very good ending. Both men worked hard, but the better person won, as Eddie Gurrero retained his Undisputed Championship.
Undertaker Vs. Kane- Nostalgia all the way. Like these two havn't face off before. The main story-line here was Undertaking returning back as his dead-man form bringing paul berrer with him. Match could have been longer, but everything you could have expected between the two big man, As the Undertaker came out victorious improving his Wrestlemania record t0 12-0.
Shawn Michaels Vs. Triple H Vs. Chris Benoit- Great macth for being the last one. Entertaining the entire time, with blood all over the place. All men just gave a great effort, as Chris Benoit acheived hid lofe-long goal by becoming the World Heavy-Weight Champion, which was well deserved by the crippler.
Overall, probrably not the best Wrestlemania, but had just enough to live up to the hype, when the DVD hits stores, I will ceratainly buy it, unlike I did for last year's Wrestlemania XIX. Wrestlemania XX for the most part was pure fun.
Movie Review: WM XX Where it All Begins For Chris Benoit & Eddie Guerrero!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrestlemania XX Where it all Begins Again the most hyped and look forward to wrestlemania of all time does it live up to the hype build up being the 20th WM and in MSG? It does live up to being one of the best WM but falls short to living up to it's build mostly cause of Brock Lesner vs Goldburg which was a dream match everyone look forward to since Goldburg came back and it turn out to be an upset but not the wrost match for Goldburg, I look back at Starrcade 1998 in WCW the Nash vs Goldburg was hyped just like this at lest this had a fare ending to it unlike that match so i don't think this is a bad match for a Goldburg match but i would say this is a weak match for Brock since hes has classic 5 star matchs with Kurt Angle and Eddie, and soild ones with Undertaker and many other wwe superstars, The ending was pretty cool with Stone Cold that really helped get the people into it=o) Other then that match Wrestlemania XX is an awesome event that will go down an history i think, alot of great matchs the best being the Main event which i think is the second best WM main event of all time 1st being Bret Hart vs HBK at WM12 Awesome match with Chris Benoit make Triple H tape out for the first time i can remaber just awesome ending with all 3 guys giving it there all, Also Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Chapionship was great as well not a classic but very close to one great win for Eddie at the biggist Stage of them all, Finally Eddie and Benoit get there push and it happs at the biggest Wrestlemania, Also Undertaker returns against Kane in a solid match although it was awesome to see paul bear and unertaker coming out to his old music it was disspoiting to see undertakers ring attire being a take top other then that it was a wrestlemania moment i think, Also Rock&Sock vs Evloution in a very fun match that felt like a big WM match up and it deliverd but Sad ending if The rock and Mick foley one it would of been a WM moment it still is for Randy Orton but the fans wanted Rock&Sock to win and so did I:o) But still it was a great match and so was Y2J vs christian, And also John Cena vs Big Show for the US title in the 2nd best WM opener only to Bret vs Owen at WMX, Overall WMXX in my view is the best if not one of the best WMs yet.Heres my rating from 1-10
John Cena vs Big Show (8)
Raw tag team championships (6)
Y2J vs Christian (8)
Rock&Sock vs Evlotion (8)
Sable&torrie vs Stacy&Jakie (for men that wanna see girls in there underware then(10)but for a wrestling match (5)
Goldburg vs Brock Lesner (6) (this is Brocks last match at lest for awhile that is im sure a good resone why it was not as good)
Cruiserwight open (7/) (alot of highlights in this match but was over too fast)
Smackdowns tag team match (6)
Molly vs Victory (4) (Seeing molly get her head shave is a WM moment i suppose.)
Eddie Vs Angle (9) (Awesome match!! not a classic but close)
Undetaker Vs Kane (7/) WM moment seeing Taker back with paul bear just ring attire was a let down match was still solid good win for Taker now 12-0 at WM thats awesome!!!)
Triple Threat World Championship match Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit vs Triple H (10) One of the best matchs I have ever seen theres only like 5 matchs that i think are wroth of a 10 and that is Bret vs HBK at WM12 1996 and HBK vs Razor Romon in a ladder match at Summerslam 1995 and Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle at Royal Rumble 2003 and Bret vs Owen at WMX 1994 and this triple threat Match at WMXX 2004 so thats saying alot about this match maybe not everyone will agree with me but thoughs are my favorit matchs and this match ranks 2nd place for me with HBK and Bret hart being number 1 this is a match that will be talked about for years a classic finally Benoit is the Champion after coming so close at Royal Rumble 2003 Benoit has one the Big one at the biggest event and biggest stage WMXX Awesome Match with a wrestlemania moment with Eddie and Benoit huging and celebrating in the Ring as it all begins for them finally!!!)
Overall i give WMXX a 9 out of 10
Movie Review: The Best PPV of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this WrestleMania displayed amazing talent of all the WWE superstars. To make it better, it was the 20th anniversary of a sports spectacular and held at the most Famous Arena in the World: Madison Square Garden.The matches were:
The Big Show vs. John Cena-U.S.Championship
This match was a well deserved win for John Cena who went through all odds to attain his first WWE Belt. 3.5/5
Chris Jericho vs. Christian
An upset. Trish turned on her "boyfriend" for a guy like Christian. The end was basically a set-up that resulted in Chris Jericho getting an unnecessary punsishment and Christian and Trish kissing. Long and action filled match to say the least. 3.5/5
Booker T and Rob Van Dam vs. La Resistance vs. Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade vs. the Dudley Boyz- World Tag Team Championship
Rob Van Dam and Booker T dominated most of the match and their domination resulted in them retaining the World Tag Team Championship. 2.5/5
Rock N Sock Connection vs. Evolution's Randy Orton, Ric Flair and Batista
Very interesting match that ended in the wrong way. It seems like Mick isn't as good as he used to and didn't give it his best. Exciting match with shocking parts throughout the match. 3.5/5
Inter-Promotional Playboy Evening Gown Match
Smackdown!: Torrie Wilson and Sable vs. Raw: Miss Jackie and Stacy Kiebler
Hot match that made WrestleMania full of excitement, a little short though. 3/5
Open Cruiserweight Elimination Match-Cruiserweight Championship
Way too short. Rey Mysterio should of won out of all the others. Cheap ending. 2/5
Inter-Promotional Match
Smackdown!: Brock Lesnar vs. Raw: Goldberg- Special Guest Referee Stone Cold Steve Austin
A lot of mind games and intense power shown throughout the match. Pretty short though-- If you add up all the wrestling time together and subtract all the intimidation they used. Goldberg came out on top by using two spears and one Jackhammer Slam to end Brock Lesnar. Strange that Stone Cold stunned Goldberg at the end though. 4/5
Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty vs. the Basham Brothers vs. the APA vs. The Self-Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team- WWE Tag Team Championship
Pretty good match with a cool celebration at the end of the match. All teams gave it all they got to come out on top. 3/5
Victoria vs. Molly Holly- WWE Women's Championship- If Molly is to lose, she has to shave her head bald
The match was OK with aggression dished out by both women. Nice ending. Molly's head getting shaven bald by Victoria. She got what was coming. 3/5
Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle- WWE Championship
A lot of technical wrestling used in this match. It was a long match and both guys did whatever they could to win the match. Eddie may have used the cheap way out of this one and it seemed like Kurt Angle had the ropes but the referee didn't see it. But, the end result was Eddie Guerrero retaining the WWE Championship. 4.5/5
Inter-Promotional Match
Smackdown!: Undertaker vs. Raw: Kane
Paul Bearer returns! Old-School Undertaker is back! He has risen from the dead and beat Kane with a chokeslam and a tombstone. A little too short of a match, I expected it to be a little longer. 4/5
Triple Threat Match- Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit- World Heavyweight Championship
Excellent match. May have been no Disqualification but they all ended up bleeding. All the participants gave it everything they had for the belt. Triple H tried to fight out of the Crippler Crossface, but I guess the lengthy time that he had it on him caused him to tap out. Emotional ending with Chris Benoit finally winning what he has been waiting to win for his whole life: the World Heavyweight Championship. Long-Time friend Eddie Guerrero who retained his title earlier in the evening celebrated Chris Benoit's victory along with him as they both would walk out the arena as champions. 5/5
This WrestleMania also showed a sign of Edge's return to the WWE.
Overall this night was a 5 hour roller-coaster that brought the roof off Madison Square Garden.
This is a must buy DVD that celebrates the greatest sports spectacular of all time- WrestleMania XX!
Movie Review: Wrestlemania XX !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this DVD because I got $100 for Christmas. I was expecting this wrestlemania to be the best wrestlewmania ever but it didn't meet my expectations.
My expectations were
1. Hyped up crowd.
2. Goldberg vs Lesnar and Undertaker vs Kane to be two of the greatest matches.
3. Better Extra Features.
But now that I think about it, my expectations were a bit too high. The crowd were fairly hyped up at first but later, after sitting through many hours of matches,they had to be tired. Goldberg vs Brock and Undertaker vs Kane was too good of a match to begin with. Lastly, That was enough extra features to keep most of the wrestling fans to be entertained.
1. John Cena vs Big Show for the US Championship
Very god match. Gets the crowd hyped up and nice FU(I think that's what it is tho I'm not sure) by John Cena.
8.5/10
2. Chris Jerico vs Christian for Trish?
Decent match. Good acting but so so match. Unexpected ending.
7/10
3. Four Way Tag team match for World Tag team championship
Fairly entertaining match. Nothing special.
7.5/10
4. Rock N sock connection vs The Evolution
5 star match but I was expecting Rock N sock to win. Batista supposed to dominate but the Rock kills him with his moves.(just look at the size. Rock is about 270 lbs, 6'5" but Batista looks a lot bigger than rock)
8.5/10
5. Inter Promotional Playboy Evening Gown match
The best match ever! maybe for sickos. sure, they are hot but it wasn't a good match.
6.5/10 for Torrie Wilson and Stacy.
6. Cruiserweight Elimination match for Cruiserweight championship
Great match. Very fast paced and high flying match and it would've been better if the crowd was more into it. Gay ending though. Where did that Guerrero Sr. come out of? Go back to selling enchiladas you retard!!!
9/10
7. Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg
The match I got the DVD for but was freaking retarded and slow paced. Goldberg finishes him off so easy but in reality Brock can kick his butt. (but I'm Goldberg fan) And horrible start. i guess it had fairly good ending. Stone Cold kills both of them even though Stone cold is like 45 now. (I'm also Stone Cold fan and Stone cold best badass ever but gotta admit the truth)
5.5/10
8. Four Way tag team match for WWE tag team championship Not as good as Raw tag team match but it was better than goldberg vs lesnar.
7/10
9. Victoria vs Molly holly
It was actually worse than Goldberg vs Lesnar maybe not. Because Molly gets her hair shaved. HAHAHAHA and Kurt Angle even get to see her hair get shaved live!!!!! Should've been on Raw or something. Even would have been a starter match for RAW.
5/10 for hair shaved
10. Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle For WWE championship
Even though Kurt Angle is right, to lie, cheat, and steal is better!!! Great performance. lots of grapples and amateur style wrestling. Expected ending though.
9/10
11. Undertaker vs Kane (Undertaker's return)
The whole buried alive was so stupid but WWE has been doing that since 1990 or something.(besides everyone knows its fake but its still entertaining caus its funny as heck and the Torrie Wilson dad dying was also funny but don't know if it's real or not. owen Hart was real. RIP Owen Hart.) Ok match and great entrance. Was expecting the 1996 entrance music. Expected ending.
7/10
12. Triple H vs HBK vs Chris Benoit for World Heavyweight Championship
Great match. Best match of the night. Brutal match but crowd was horrible in supporting the wrestlers. Great match though.
10/10 (would've been 100/10 if the crowd was into it)Also an Expected ending.
Overall, the Wrestlemania was pretty good but not the best. I would have to say the best was Wrestlemania 18 where it was Hulk vs The Rock and Triple H's return. bonus was just so so.
overall 8.5/10
