Match #8: (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match for the Tag Titles)
Dudley Boyz v Hardy Boyz v Edge & Christian
Lots and lots of crazy bumbs were performed in this match, such as Jeff Hardy giving Rhyno a Swanton off a 20-foot ladder through a table. Jeff eventually got Speared by Edge 20-foot in the air, and then Rhyno pushed Matt Hardy and Bubba Ray off a ladder through 4 tables! E+C then climbed the ladder and got the belts for the victory. *****

Match #11: (WWF Championship Match) The Rock v Stone Cold Steve Austin
A physically intense battle between the two top men in the Federation. The Rock and Austin were both busted open with shots from the ring bell. Rock hit the People's Elbow on Austin, but Vince McMahon came out and pulled the People's Champ off of Stone Cold. Austin then hit the Rock Bottom on the Brahma Bull for a two-count. A stunner was countered, and then Vince nailed Rock in the face with a steel chair, but the Great One kicked out.

Movie Review: Best WrestleMania
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me go through the matches and I'll sum them all up at the end:
1. Chris Jericho def. William Regal to Retain his IC Title - Basic opener. Acually, it wasn't too bad, but nothing real memorable. Rating: 7/10
2. Tazz and Acolytes def. Right To Censor in a 6 man tag - The only real problem was because this match was way too short. I would have liked to see Farrooq get involved, but wasn't. Still nothing too bad, but definetly needed about 5 minutes more. Rating: 6/10 (for the time)
3. Kane def. The Big Show and Raven in a Hardcore Match - Awesome hardcore match. Had everything in it, from Kane throwing Raven through a glass window, golf carts, walls broken down by the 2 monsters, etc. Watch this match and you will see how good it is. Ending rocks too!! Rating: 9.5/10
4. Eddy Guerrero def. Test to win the European Championship - pretty basic match with these 2. Eddy rocks today and Test is gone from WWF so I don't know about this one. Rating: 7/10 (for Eddy being there :D)
5. Kurt Angle def. Chris Benoit - easily one of the top ten matches of all time at Mania events. Probably the best technical wrestling I've seen in a while. Rating: 10/10
6. Chyna def. Ivory to win the Women's Championship - pretty much a walk in the park for Chyna, pinning Ivory in 2 minutes with Ivory getting no offense in. Rating: 5/10
7. Shane McMahon def. Vince McMahon in the 'McMahon' Street Fight - AWESOME buildup to this match. Shane buying WCW right at the last RAW before Mania definetly added more heat to this match. Great spots from Shane with a Van Terminator and another spanish announce table drop. Rating: 10/10
8. Edge and Christian def. The Hardy's and Dudleys in a TLC match to win the Tag Team Championships - a contendor for the match of the night, but I know there are several matches of the night in this event. Watch this match and you will never ever forget it. All I'm giving away is that Edge speared Jeff from the top of the ladder. Rating: 10/10
9. The Iron Shiek wins the Gimmick Battle Royal - I don't know why everyone's saying this was such a bad match. It really wasnt, as this doesn't happen every pay-per-view. Let the old, retired people have some fun in a match, huh? Rating: 6/10 (was a bit boring though)
10. Undertaker def. Triple H - Taker is now 9-0 at WrestleMania's!! The match got very good at the camera area when Triple H got chokeslammed about 15 feet below! Watch this match, and really good buildup to it. Rating: 10/10
11. Stone Cold def. The Rock in a No DQ match to win the WWF Championship - awesome 28 minute match. Not one minute was wasted in this. Very intense match all of the 28 minutes. HUGE suprise/shocker at the end of the match is when Vince comes down and helps Austin win the belt. Quite possibly the match of the year. Rating: 11/10 (that was intentional, meaning this is one of my favorite matches in the WWF)
Extras aren't too much:
Next night on RAW with Triple H/Austin/Vince/Rock
Fan Axxess
Triple H/Undertaker at Fan Axxess
Some more but the other extras are forgettable
All in all, possibly the best WrestleMania ever. It featured everything with huge brawls, hardcore wresting, good technical wrestling, etc. Buy this event on DVD (right now!)so you can get the extras!!

Here are the results with a review:
Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho def. William Regal
A good opener for a Wrestlemania with a unexpected ending with a small lionsault by Y2J to get the three. Overall ***
APA & Tazz def. RTC
Not a very good match that was slow. It had a nice ending with a huge clothsline on Goodfather to get the three. Every man takes a beating, also Steven Richards gets ddt'd by Jackie. **
Kane def. Raven & Big Show for the Hardcore Title
A great, huge Hardcore match with a huge ending when Kane leaped off the stage and legdropped Big Show for the 3. A huge frenzy back stage and there is no way I could give this match less than *****
Eddie Gurrero def. Test for the European Title
A decent match with a bad ending when Malenko was distracting the ref and Saturn threw the European Title to Eddie and Eddie nailed him to get the 3. ***
Kurt Angle def. Chris Beniot
A great pure wrestling match that deserves more than five stars except for the ending where Angle got a roll up and held the tights to get the 3. **** 1/2
Chyna def. Ivory
A short, bad match that should have been on Raw or something because this was short! The only reason the match went on is because Chyna lifted up Ivory and did a gorilla press slam to get the 3. **
Shane McMahon def. Vince McMahon
An awesome street fight and even better because Trish turned on Vince and slapped him in the face! The best street fight I have ever seen! MUST SEE! *****
Edge & Christian def. Hardy Boyz & Dudley Boyz in TLC 2
Another awesome match that is a MUST SEE. Rhyno was a huge difference maker in this match! I shouldn't spoil you with the details but let me say this, Matt & Bubba Ray's carrer almost came to an end. *****
Iron Shiek won the Gimmic battle royal
A decent match with all the old superstars with a gimmic. The eliminations were as quick a a snap though! At the end of the match Sgt. Slaughter had the Cobra Clutch on Shiek. ***
Undertaker def. Triple H
A awesome brawl after the ref got knocked out by the Undertaker. They took it to the place where Moterhead played Triple H's them song. The ending came when HHH was punching UT on the middle rope and UT lifted him up for the last ride and finally got the 3. *****
Stone Cold def. The Rock for the WWE Championship
A great brawl but who the heck made it No Disqualification match!? Anothe super match until the end where Austin murdered The Rock with the chair until Rock finally gave it up. Shame on you Austin! *****
Movie Review: April 2001 Houston Astrodome Houston, Texas
Summary: 5 Stars
Best wrestling PPV ever? That was the heavily debated question after this PPV. If it wasn't the best ever, it was darn near close. Wrestlemania 17 is a 2 disc set. Disc 1 and part of 2 contains the matches and the rest of 2 is extras.
1. Chris Jericho vs. William Regal (Intercontinental Championship)
These two built up quite the comical fued before this match. Good match. Good way to open up the show. (7.5/10)
2. APA & Tazz vs. Right To Censor
Nothing really happened in this match. Right To Censor is horrible. (5/10)
3. Kane vs. Raven vs. Big Show (Hardcore Championship - Triple Threat)
Very entertaining match that went all over the arena. Good bumps taken by Raven (thrown through glass, hit by a golf cart). Very good finish to the match as all 3 men take good bumps. (8.5/10)
4. Test vs. Eddie Guerrero (European Championship)
Surprisingly entertaining match from Test. The match is pretty short. (7.5/10)
5. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
Another technical classic between these two. Starts up as a pure wrestling match. This was actually voted as the 10th best Wrestlemania match by WWE superstars before Wrestlemania 20. These two have such great chemistry together. Bad ending. (9/10)
6. Chyna vs. Ivory (WWF Womens Championship)
Who cares? (1/10)
7. Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon w/Mick Foley as Special Guest Referee (Street Fight)
Very, very exciting match. The crowd was into this match from the beginning. Amazing. Crazy bumps taken by both men. Shane jumps off the top rope through an announce table, and also delivers a Van Daminator to Vince with the use of a trash can. There are many surprising twists and turns that occur during this match. (9.5/10)
8. Edge & Christian vs. Hardy's vs. Dudley's (Tag Team Championship - TLC)
One of the best matches of the year, although it is not exciting as TLC I. It is still great in its own right. Spike Dudley, Rhyno, and Lita all make appearances in this match. To many crazy spots and bumps to note. Watch for the Edge spear off the ladder on Jeff hanging from the belt. Maybe the best move ever. (9.5/10)
9. Gimmick Battle Royal
This match featured past WWF superstars. Good nostalgia. (8/10)
10. Triple H vs. Undertaker
This match was not a Street Fight, but turned into one when the ref gets knocked out. The match spills into the crowd. Triple H takes a good bump getting choke slammed off a scaffold. Very exciting ending. (9/10)
11. The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWF Title - No DQ)
Great match. Match of the year in my opinion. These two really went at it. There is a lot of blood, reversals, and close falls. Great finish, although very surprsing. Great match. (10/10)
The extras on disc 2 are the normal interviews, superstar moments, and RAW the next night.
I definately recommend picking this up, although it is very hard to find and expensive. Definately one if not the best PPV ever.
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
