Movie Review: The Greatest Wrestlemaina Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Jerico vs William Regal- what a way to start of the show with a good match. Jerico did a great job with this match but Regal held his own in this match. 7/10
APA & Tazz vs Val Venis Godfather and Bull Buchanean- Not evevn worth watching,a point less match that should have not been part of the show. 2/10
Raven vs Kane vs Big Show Hardcore Tittle Match- good hardcore match that had everything. Started in the ring then went to the back and that back to the area. Raven got throwen it to a glass window and Kane was driving a golf cart, it was great. 9/10
Eddie vs Test- okay match,eddie to me carryed the match and that waht made the match. Saturn and Dean came to help and this was an okay match 6/10
Chris Benito vs Kurt Angle- great wrestling match with to best wrestlers in the business and they should it this night and was a great match. Everything I expected and then some and it was worth it. 10/10
China vs Ivory- no,no,no,no, no point to this match it was not even that long and there was no point to this match. 0/10
Shane Mcmahon vs Vince McMahon- WOW great match by these two, all sorts of good bumbs in this match. Shane really put on all the stops in this match. Shane diving from the top of the rope in to the table. And I'll leave you with Shane going from one end of the ring to the other. (so buy this DVD) 10/10
TLC Match Hardy Boyz vs Edge & Christain vs Dudley Boyz- Another great match just as good as the first one. These guys work well together and do well in this match. Great momments in this match with Jeff Hardy doing the swanton bomb to bubba ray on the table. 10/10
Gimmick Battle Royal- it was entertaing to see all the old wrestlers there it was funny. 6/10
HHH vs The Undertaker- Taker returnes to his home town for a really good match. They go in to the crowd and fight and this match was very surprizing to me cause these to don't work that ofton together but they did a good job in this match. 10/10
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock- Best Match of the night and the greatest match these two have ever had. great stoyline behind this match and it was a great match with a great ending. The best ending to to a PPV that i have seen in a long time. These two guys work hard in this macth and they bth did well in this macth. 10/10
Movie Review: Wrestlemania X-Seven, None Better!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is, in my opinion THE BEST WWF pay-per view. I have every one since January 1998. My only grudge against it is that it is poorley laid out! 8 matches on the 1st and 3 on the 2nd disk with a few extras on each. Now if you think that that is because they couldn't fit all the matches on one DVD with all the extras on the other, your wrong. They put the entire envent without the extras on a VHS, a DVD can hold a lot more! Anyway here is how I rate these matches:Intercontinental Title: Chris Jericho vs. William Regal: *** 3/4 Extremly entertaining, should have been further into the event though.
The RTC vs. The Acolytes and Tazz: ** 1/2 Tazz needs to be pushed, bad. He is one of the most charismatic and good wrestlers in the WWF.
Hardcore Title: Raven vs. The Big Show vs. Kane: *** 1/2 This match should have been much further into the show, not just because of the quality but because of the 2 former WWF Champs! (Big Show and Kane)
European Title: Test vs. Eddie Guerrero: ***. A solid match that was exactly what I expected.
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: **** 1/2 A great WRESTLING match. Also check out their awesome 30-Minute Ultimate Submission match at Backlash 2K1!
Women's Title: Ivory vs. Chyna: * I gave this match a 1 cuz it was so 1-sided and the outcome was very predictable. I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm glad it was kept short.
Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon: ****. Whenever Shane O-Mac is in a PPV, you can bet your A$$ that you will not be disapointed, his Summerslam '99 bump along with a 20 foot dropkick is included!
Tag Team Titles: TLC II: The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian: *****. I still agree that TLC 1 was unbeatable, the only new huge bump that happened was a spear of a 20 foot ladder in mid-air. I'm not saying that that is boring! I'm just saying that they did every same move that they did in TLC 1. Good to See again though!
Gimmick Battle Royal: ??? This match was simply to keep Wrestlemania about the legends and this is what the match did. (It also provided some comic relife!)
Triple H vs. The Undertaker: **** Both men proved that even though Rock and Austin may have been in the main event. They derserve to be in it too! (Although I like single main events better.)
WWF Title: The Rock vs. Steve Austin: ***** Even better than their Wrestlemania 15 match, EXCELLENT WAR! (Except for Austin's heel change)
Movie Review: ...of all time...
Summary: 5 Stars
The three words "of all time" get thrown around a lot in this day and age, and I am not innocent of constantly uttering them myself, in effect watering down their significance. But when I say that Wrestlemania X7 is the greatest Wrestlemania -- even greatest PPV -- OF ALL TIME, I am not exaggerating. Everything from the opening montage to the post-main event celebration was electric live on PPV and none of that electricity is lost on DVD.This was a Wrestlemania that WWF needed to succeed, what with the failure of the previous year's Wrestlemania 2000. The WWF attained that success with X7, in everything from the card to live attendance to PPV buys. Most of the matches had well built storylines and were just great matches in themselves. Another treat was the Gimmick Battle Royal featuring special appearances by the always-welcome Bobby Heenan and Mean Gene.
One aspect to this PPV that made it such a success was the diversity of the card. Wrestlemania 2000 was bogged down in tag team matches, triple threats and unproven wrestlers. X7, however, had something for everyone. Technical wrestling fans will drool over Benoit vs. Angle for years to come. Hardcore fans love the TLC II match. Fans of the over-the-top storylines were into the father vs. son match. And fans of the industry's top two stars at the time, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, will always remember fondly their main event that night on April Fool's day in 2001.
The DVD extras aren't much, but what do you need with extras when the PPV event itself gives you one hell of a show? Even with all of the positives on this show, there are some negatives. In the aformentioned father vs. son match, fans did not react well to Shane's WCW allegiance and this slightly took away from the impact of his win over Vince, although it was more Linda McMahon's win than Shane's. Also, some of the other matches just didn't click for whatever reason. Although a very decent opener, Regal vs. Jericho was a bit off, as the latter was going 100MPH and Regal just didn't seem to be in key that night. Chyna vs. Ivory was an atypical squash match akin to those we used to see on WWF Superstars in the late 80's. But one of the greatest advantages DVD has over VHS is the ability to go to the next scene instantaneously at the press of a button.
Wrestlemania is WWF(E) and pro wrestling at its best. Get this DVD.

The Houston Astrodome was electrifying all night long and with a historic father/son rivalry, a TLC match that defined the laws of gravity, Wrestlemania X7 is the ultimate PPV to get if you are a fan of the WWF.Below I have listed the matches in order:

Wrestlemania X7 will go down in history as one of the greatest PPV's of all time. Every match was a slobbernocker and the fans were into each one. Many titles changed hands, and there was much brutality in the TLC 2, Undertaker vs. Triple H, and the triple threat hardcore match. But none of these messure up to the main event, possibly the biggest main event ever, was exhilirating and stunning. If your ready for a hell of a fun DVD and the most shocking ending in history then get WRESTLEMANIA X7 now!
