Movie Review: Wrestlemania returns to the Garden
Summary: 5 Stars
1. The Dudley Boys Vs. Val Venis & Lance Storm - From SNHeat (On Disk 2), the winner goes to the RAW fatale 4-way. Speaking of Heat, man the Garden crowd was popping like crazy for every move. *** / 5 stars2. Big Show Vs. John Cena - U.S. title match - Pretty slow match for an opener, can Cena defeat the 500 lb monster? *1/2
3. RVD/Booker T Vs. La Resisteance Vs. Cade/Jindrake Vs. Dudleys - Fatale 4-way which means whoever gets the pin wins the match and the title. Remember when tag team wrestling was cool? Still this was slightly entertaining. **1/2
4. Chris Jericho Vs. "CLB" Christian - In Christian head, Trish Stratus played a Yoko Ono by breaking up their tag team, So he beat up Trish. Now Jericho is determined to get revenge in her honor! ***1/2
5. Mic Foley/The Rock Vs. Flair/Orton/Batista - After countless beatings, and 4 years out of the ring, hardcore legend Mic Foley needed help to take care of Evolution. So he recruited The Rock from Hollywood to help settle the feud. Ric Flair's and The Rocks off-beat shinanigans bump this up to ***1/2
6. 1st Ever Playboy Evening Gown Match - DUD
7. 10-Man Crusierweight Elimination Match - 2 men start off, and when one is eliminated (pinned or taps) another man jumps in until everyone is eliminated. 10 men, ~ 10 min. Non-stop action and I still think Chavo Guerrero Sr. should be wrestling! Will the Cruiserweight division EVER get any respect? Still Ultimo Dragons gets a WM paycheck so I'm happy. ****
8. Goldberg Vs. Brock Lenser w/ Steve Austin as special ref - Yawnnn, they should've given this time to the crusierweights, even Austin looked bored. MSG turns on Brock! - *1/2
9. 2 Cool/APA/Bashams/World's Greatest tag-team - Same as previous fatale 4-way but with Smackdown's tag title on the line. **
10. Victoria Vs. Molly Holly - If Molly wins she's the Women's champ, but if Victoria wins Molly gets shaved bald! *1/2
11. Eddie Guerrero Vs. Kurt Angle - Smackdown Heavyweight Championship - Kurt Angle doesn't feel Guerrero is championship material and is determinded to win the belt at all costs. It's true It's true, this is my fav match on the card. ****1/2
12. The Undertaker Vs. Kane - Kane buried his brother months earlier but since then strange things have been happening.. Will the Undertaker actually show up? (Hint: Yes). Out of the 13,452 macthes these two have had, I rate it # 11,288. *
12. Chris Benoit Vs. Triple H Vs. Shawn Michaels - 3-way match for the RAW World Championship - Whoever gets the pin is the Champion, so your fighting off another wrestler while trying to get a pin. The Past meets the Present meets the Future. NON-STOP action! ****1/2
- 3Dvd's with lots of extra (mostly 10,000 interviews/promos) The best extra is the hour-long Wrestlemania special hosted by slick rick, who countsdown the Top 10 WM matches of all time. Bottom line, this is one of the Best WM ever (due to the last 2 matches) and some enjoyable mid-carders. Thumbs up!
Movie Review: Easily the greatest WrestleMania ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
WrestleMania XX, live from Madison Square Garden in New York City, was by far one of the greatest WWE events of all time. For five full hours, wrestling fans all over the world were able to witness history unfold before their eyes on a night that marked the end of one era, and the beginning of a new one. Everything from the matches to the special appearences were awesome, and as a fan who was at MSG that night, I can honestly say that not a single person left the Garden dissapointed. I have watched every single WrestleMania live since 1985, and I can honestly say that this years twentieth anniversary spectacular not only lived up to all the hype, it far surpassed it. Here are some of the biggest highlights of the event:
- John Cena defeats the Big Show for U.S. Championship, Cena's first title win in the WWE.
- Christian pulls the upset by pinning Chris Jericho. Afterwards, Trish Stratus betrays Y2J and joins forces with Christian.
- The Rock 'n Sock Connection lose to Evolution. The victory further puts over Evolution, while ensuring that the Randy Orton/Mick Foley rivalry is far from over.
- The 2004 WWE Hall of Fame inductees were presented to the sold-out crowd.
- In the first-ever Playboy Evening Gown match, Torrie Wilson and Sable beat Stacy Kiebler & Miss Jackie. Although as any guy who saw this match can tell you, there really were no losers!
- Goldberg defeated Brock Lesnar. It was both of their last nights with the company, and every single fan at MSG knew it. After the match, special referee Stone Cold Steve Austin stunned both of them right out of the WWE.
- Jesse 'the Body' Ventura announced that he may run for President in 2008, and special guest Donald Trump pledged his full support to him if he actually does.
- Victoria retained the Woman's Championship against Molly Holly. As part of a pre-match stipulation, Molly had to shave her head completely bald.
- Eddie Guerrero defeated Kurt Angle to retain the WWE Championship. One of the best matches of the night.
- In my personal favorite moment of the night, The Undertaker returned to the WWE as the classic 'Dead Man' character. He had one of the best entrances I have ever seen, complete with his original music, smoke/fog, thunder, bells, the torch-carrying Druids, and even his original manager Paul Bearer. Best of all, Taker went on to extend his WrestleMania win streak to 12-0 by defeating his own brother Kane. A great overall moment.
- Chris Benoit achieved his life-long dream by winning the World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat match against Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Easily the best match of the night. Afterwards, WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero came to the ring to congratulate his pal Chris on his huge victory. The show ended with both of them raising eachothers arms in the middle of the ring.
I highly recommend that wrestling fans of all types purchase this DVD as soon as it comes out.
