Movie Review: WWE WrestleMania X-7
Summary: 5 Stars
WWE WrestleMania X-7
Intercontinental Championship
Chris Jericho vs. William Regal
A decent opener with some good wrestling and some high spots as well. Not one slow or boring point in this match. Match rating 7/10
APA and Tazz vs. Right To Censor
Once again a decent match with a lot of excitement. Good to see Tazz wrestle. Match Rating 7/10
WWE Hardcore Championship
Kane vs. Raven vs. The Big Show
A very entertaining/brutal hardcore match that saw all three men fight it out all over the arena. Awesome finish and a cool window spot by Raven. Match Rating 9/10
WWE European Championship
Eddie Guerrero vs. Test
Once again a decent match with some nice spots. My only complaint about this match would be the interference even though it was predictable it was going to happen. Match Rating 7/10
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
There can only be one first. There can only be one blueprint. WrestleMania 17 was the night where the whole Angle Benoit series started and what a match it was. A Very back and forth match that saw each man display what they're all about. Technical wrestling, submissions, high flying, brawling, false finishes. This match had it all but what really stands out in my mind about this match was the wrestling the two did at the beginning of the match. A Great Match by two phenomenal athletes. My only complaint is that the match had a weak ending. Match Rating 9/10
WWE Womens Championship
Chyna vs. Ivory
This is what we call a squash match. Chyna basically kicked Ivory's ass through out the whole match. Entertaining but not that great. Match Rating 6/10
WWE Tag Team Titles
TLC 2
Hardy Boyz vs. Edge and Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz
OMG! What a match! Better than their SummerSlam TLC match that they had the previous year. This match will blow you away. So many big spots in this match like Buh Buh and Matt going through.......wait! I don't want to spoil it for you! All you have to know is that this match is amazing, awesome, fantastic and any other word you can think of that resembles the word great. Match Rating 10/10
Father vs. Son
Street Fight w/ Mick Foley as The Special Guest Ref.
Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon
Another great entertaining match that saw some great storytelling and some very big bumps taken by both men. Extremely Entertaining match...especially the ending. Match Rating 9/10
Gimmick Battle Royal
Great to see some of my all time favorite wrestlers such as Iron Sheik and Sgt. Slaughter go at it. This match will defiantly satisfy old school wrestling fans. Match Rating 9/10
The Undertaker vs. Triple - H
WOW! What a match these two had. I don't even think I can call it a match. This match was a street fight all the way which saw chairs and hammers come into play in this match. This brawl is a hardcore wrestling fans dream. Match Rating 9/10
WWE Championship
No DQ
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock
Holy ****!!! And I thought that the other matches were great! This match was unbelievable! The entire match was a back and forth encounter by two of the greatest wrestlers of our time. The end was surprising and unpredictable. All the false finishes made this match the best match of the night. Not a lot can be said about this match except for the fact that it was a perfect match. A great way to end the show. Match Rating 10/10
Not only was this an amzing PPV it was the greatest WrestleMania of all time! This PPV is defientaly worth your money no matter what but it is however very hard to find in stores. This WrestleMania had a little bit for everyone which is what makes this not only the grand daddy of them all but the grand daddy of all WrestleManias. C YA!
Movie Review: Biggest 'Mania of them all!
Summary: 5 Stars
Overview:The biggest show of the year of the year for the World Wrestling Federation, Wrestlemania, nearly always delivers when it comes to providing a memorable spectacle. The 2001 edition of Wrestlemania, number seventeen (or as the WWF likes to spell it X-Seven), was arguably one of the greatest Wrestlemania's, nay wrestling cards of the modern era.
The Card:
Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho (C) vs. William Regal
A solid opening match, nothing overly amazing, but that is the purpose of the first match. 8/10
The APA and Tazz vs. The Right To Censor
Nothing wrong with this match, with some great displays of athleticism from the big men in parts. 7/10
Hardcore Championship: Raven (C) vs. Kane vs. The Big Show
The WWF's version of hardcore can be described as `gimmicky', especially when compared with the brand of entertainment that ECW once produced. However this match did entertain, with some great spots that elicit a chuckle. 7.5/10
European Championship: Eddie Guerrero (C) vs. Test
Good match that shows why Guerrero, should at least, be on his way to great things, like a world title. Ruined only somewhat, for the wrestling purists, by the constant outside interference. 8/10
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
Great match by two excellent in ring performers, this would the first of several great matches between the two. The ending was a letdown somewhat, but was done in order to further the feud between these two for the next PPV event. 9/10
Women's Championship: Chyna (C) vs. Ivory
This match was kept short and to the point with the expected result. 5/10
Street Fight: Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon with Mick Foley as Special Guest Referee
While technically not a great match this one delivered in respect its strong story-telling and several unbelievable spots by Shane McMahon. The presence of Foley was a bonus as well. 8.5/10
Tag Team Championship - TLC II Match: Dudley Boyz (C) vs. Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz
Absolute spot-fest galore in this one, amazing match, enough said. 10/10
Gimmick Battle Royal
The `classic' faces and gimmicks of yester-year return to remind many of a time of wrestling that many are trying hard to forget. Used well as an `intermission' between TLC II and the two big matches of the night. (For simplicity the names of the competitors have not being listed). 5/10
Triple H vs. The Undertaker
No titles on the line in this one, a well built up match that amazed with action both in and out of the ring. 9.5/10
WWF Championship: The Rock (C) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
The two biggest names of the attitude era go one on one in what would prove to be a great struggle. The crowd was hot throughout this match and helped add to the emotion. The quality of the ending though is something that is still debated. 10/10
DVD Extras:
The extras are somewhat disappointing, given that most are simply taken from within the actual Wrestlemania broadcast itself, such as segments on Axxess and the grudge histories that lead up to the respective matches. The best feature is, arguably, the re-cap of what occurred the next night on Monday night `Raw Is War'. 3.5/10
Overall:
This was the last great show of the attitude era. After this event, as is well known, the quality of the WWF, later WWE, product began to sour somewhat to what we have today. Watching this DVD in retrospect helps bring back memories of a time when wrestling was at the forefront of pop-culture. While a lack of the back-story leading into these matches takes the shine of the event somewhat (this PPV had arguably the greatest build up to an event ever, especially the main event for which anticipation was at absolute fever-pitch), the point is not lost that this was simply a great wresting show. Highly Recommended.
Movie Review: One out of the Two Best WrestleManias ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrestlemania 17 and 19 are the two greatest wrestlemanias ever and this one had tons of great matches from match one to match eleven it is awesome!!

2. APA & Tazz vs Right To Censor Six Man Tag Match- A Short but hard hitting match up where tazz and bradshaw kicked some ass and Bradshaw got the win the a huge Clothsline From Hell to the Goodfather to get the win. Winner APA & Tazz at 3:53 6.5/10
3.Kane vs Big Show vs Raven Triple Threat Match For the Hardcore Title- Awesome match with raven having the odds against him in this one. The match was insane and it wasn't even in the ring at all it was all backstage and kane kicked raven and big show off the stage and then a elbow drop by kane off the stage got the win. Winner and New Hardcore Champ Kane at 9:18 9/10
4. Eddie Guerrero vs Test European Title Match- Eddie is awesome and will be missed but this match was great but test kinda kicked eddie's ass in this one. Test hit a big powerbomb and tilt a whirl slam but then interference by saturn and malenko got eddie the win. Winner and New European Champ Eddie Guerrero at 8:30 7/10
5. Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit- Awesome!!! of course I knew it would be with two of the best athletes in the wwe today kurt and chris mat wrestled and then it became a fight and kurt got the win with a handful of tights. I wish he could've won clean. Winner Kurt Angle at 14:02 9/10
6. Chyna vs Ivory Women's Title- The only Bad Match of the Night because Chyna kicked ivory's ass so bad with a powerbomb and press slam to win. Winner and New Women's Champ Chyna at 2:39 5/10
7. Shane McMahon vs Vince McMahon Street Fight- A cool match with so many suprises like trish turning on vince and beating down stephanie and when linda woke from her chair and kicked vince in the nuts! Also shane did the leap of faith elbow drop into a table and hit a vanterminator to beat vince. Winner Shane McMahon at 14:12 8/10
8. Edge & Christian vs Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz in a TLC 2 Match- AWESOME SO FREAKIN AWESOME!! lots of spots like spike doing the acid drop on christian threw a table off of the apron!

9. Gimmick Battle Royal- Cool and Entertaining Match and I wanted Doink the Clown or Hillbilly Jim to win but it was ok that the Iron Sheik won and Sgt. Slaughter Came back in a put on the cobra clutch to knock him out. Winner Iron Sheik at 3:05 7/10
10. Undertaker vs Triple H- Undertaker will not lose at wrestlemania because he is the best ever in the wwe and triple h is cool but he can't even beat the dead man at wreslemania and if The Game can't beat the dead man nobody can. This match is basically a street fight because the ref is knocked out for half of the match but its ok and taker got the win with the last ride from the corner. Winner The Undertaker 18:17 10/10
11. Stone Cold vs The Rock World Wrestling Federation Championship No DQ - Another Great Main Event like always and stone cold beat the rock to win the belt with the help of vince in a battle with blood and great action and stone cold hit the rock with 11 chair shots to win the title. Winner and New WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin at 28:06 10/10
That is Why it is one of the best wreslemania ever with lots of action and no crap at all.
Movie Review: Greatest WrestleMania ever?
Summary: 5 Stars
Some people think that this is the greatest show the Wwe has ever put on, but I can't agree. Now, it is one of my favorites, most definately, but saying it's the greatest WrestleMania ever is pushing it. See, comparing this to WrestleMania 3 is like comparing regular water to filtered water, it's close, but it's not the same.
Intercontinental Championship Match
William Regal vs. Chris Jericho: It was a good match, though it was very short. If they were to extend the length of the match, it would have been much, much better. Anyways, they both pulled off some nice moves and did a good job in the ring. 8/10
6 Man Tag Team Match
APA and Tazz vs. Right to Censor: Okay, i'll put it in simple terms, it sucked. Tazz wasn't doing good in the ring and it was just short. It sucked. 3/10
Hardcore Championship Match
Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane: I didn't expect to much out of this match but a bunch of chokeslams, but I was wrong, big time. This match was not only hilarious, but it was brutal. This match was not only good for a laugh, but it was actually a great match. 8/10
European Championship Match
Test vs. Eddie Guerrero: Solid match, a few big moves, a few small moves here and there. Test just doesn't really get my attention, and Eddie Guerrero is one of the best, so it wasn't a really good match to begin with. 5/10
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: I was blown away by this match. One of the best WrestleMania matches ever, by far. Both of these guys have a great wrestling background, and it shows in this match. 10/10
Womens Championship Match
Ivory vs. Chyna: This one blew, big time, even worse than the 6 man tag match. 2/10
Street Fight
Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon with Mick Foley as Guest Referee:
I really don't know what to say about this match. Vince took some bumps, Shane took some bumps, so it was back and forth. Don't get me wrong, it was a good match, and they both did good jobs, so it was good. 9/10
TLC 2
Dudley Boyz vs. Edge and Christian vs. Hardy Boyz: What a match. It was a very high flying, risk taking match, and these guys talent showed. Jeff Hardy and Edge pulled off some sweet moves, like the Swanton bomb from that tall ladder and that sweet spear from the ladder. Great match. 10/10
Gimmick Battle Royal
Well, I enjoyed it. 7/10
Triple H vs. Undertaker: Whoa! This match was a wild one, and an unintentional street fight. Best match of the night? By far. 10/10
Wwe Championship Match
The Rock vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin: After seeing WrestleMania 15, I knew this would be a good one. It was made into a "street fight" at the last minute, and that made it even better. It was a great match, but the shocker comes at the end of the match, and it still shocks me every time I see it. 10/10
What an event. All the wrestlers did great jobs in, and out, of the ring, and made this one of the best ever, though not as good as WrestleMania 3. Altogether, I give it a 9.5/10
Movie Review: Best Wrestlemania of All Time!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Wrestlemania was absolutely amazing! I've never seen anything quite like it, ever in Wrestling. If you haven't seen this, it's a must. The best matches were the incredible street fight between Shane McMahon and his father Vince, TLC 2, Kurt Angle VS. Chris Benoit, HHH VS. Taker', and the positively unbelievable main event between Stone Cold and The Rock. Here's a short runthrough of each of those 5 matches;Shane VS. Vince: HOLY FLYING MONKEYS OF GOD! Shane is one of the most suicidal wrestlers I've ever seen. I mean, c'mon. Time and time again he'll risk his life for the fans, by flying from heights sometimes reaching all the way up to 30 feet. If given more time in the ring, he could become the next Mick Foley. But considering Mick's current physical condition right now, maybe that's not such a bad thing. But onto the match. Lets see, Mick Foley was the special guest referee. In the beginning we don't see all too much to make a fan want to watch this match time and time again. But when Linda Mcmahon, Trish, and the aforementioned hardcore legend himself, MICK FOLEY start getting involved, it gets very entertaining. Then Shane proves the point that I expressed above by executing the amazing VAN TERMINATOR on his father to end the match. I tend to wonder how much time Shane spent at RVD's house to learn that move, and speaking of Rob Van Dam, when in the hell is he gonna be signed to a WWFE contract to come to the WWF or work in the new WCW!?
TLC 2: TLC matches.....they've become somewhat of a novelty in the WWF and other places, such a ECW. But despite all this, when the Hardy's, E&C, and the Dudleys get together for these, you can always expect something amazing, and that's what we got. Unfortunately, this and the Smackdown TLC 3 match we recently saw are probably gonna be some of the last matches of this type we'll see between these 3 teams, because it seems that by the end of the year, they will all be broken up.
Kurt Angle VS. Chris Benoit: Very very good technical wrestling match. The beginning was actually very much in an amateur style. After that, it slowely got kinda boring, but still an exceptional match, and highly recommended just for those first few minutes in the beginning.
The Game VS. The Man Who owns The Yard: Who knew that Taker had this in him? I honestly had no idea. Or maybe it was just the fact that HHH was carrying him the whole way. Some definetly awesome spots, including Taker' choke slamming HHH off this small piece of scaffolding onto the arena floor. Plus there's HHH hitting Taker with a sledgehammer in the middle of a "Last Ride" Powerbomb. Definetly a very good matchup, worth the price of the tape. But then agan, there's quite a few matches on here that were worth the price of this tape. That's the reason why I'm calling it, THE GREATEST WWF EVENT OF ALL TIME!
Stone Cold 3:16 VS. The Rock: Excellent main event. Probably the match of the show. It's worth seeing just for the ending where Vince teams with SCSA. Some great wrestling from both involved. We also get to see Stone Cold go back to his roots for just one night by using the Million Dollar Dream which was his finisher back when he was just Steve Austin, no Stone Cold. So yeah, definetly reason enough to get this PPV.
Overall, the best wrestlemania of all time, and one of the best wrestling shows of all time period. If you don't go and buy this right now it just means that you're wicked stupid and have no appreciation for good wrestling.
