This years Wrestlemania 21 was good, but i reckon last year's was probably a little bit better.First match- Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio This wasn't really bad, a good test of strength between these two Tag Champions. Rey Mysterio wins after a hurricana roll-up on Eddie for the 3 count. 4/10Second match- Money In The Bank Ladder match, Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane vs. Edge vs. Christian This was definitely the best match of the night. A lot of high-flying moves from the ladders & also suicidal moves as well especially from the ever entertaining Chris Benoit. Edge wins after knocking Benoit from the ladder then getting the briefcase to win the whole match. 7/10Third match- Randy Orton vs. Undertaker This was also a enjoyable match, i wanted Orton to win but Undertaker just had to pull out a victory after delivering a Tombstone on Orton to get the pin fall & keep his Wrestlemania streak even more. 5/10Fourth match- Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme for the WWE Women's Championship Pretty boring this match was, mostly like other Diva matches. Trish wins after a Chick Kick to retain her title. 2/10Fifth match- Sumo match, Akebobo vs. Big Show One word, boring. This match was not entertaining, Akebono the Sumo Grand Champion threw Big Show out to win. 2/10Sixth match- Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels This match was also the second best match of the night, so many great moves being applied & both men gave it all to give their best Wrestlemania match ever. I think they did. Kurt Angle wins after making Shawn Michaels tap out to the Ankle Lock in what was like a 30 minute match. 6/10Seventh match- JBL vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship Good match between these two, i do reckon in my opinion that this match should of been a little bit longer but it was still good. John Cena nails a F-U on JBL to capture the WWE Championship & end JBL's 9 month reign as WWE Champion. 5/10Eigth & final match of the night-Batista vs. Triple H for the WWE Championship Great bout between these two former best friends & Evolution members. Both men tested out each other in the main event & also gave a good match to the fans. But not better than last year's Wrestlemania main event. Batista captures his first World Title when he nails a Powerbomb on the bloody Triple H to defeat his former best friend & mentor. 5/10Overall: This was a good Wrestlemania but not better than last year's. I'll give it 8/10 & B+.
... View MoreRey Mysterio def. Eddie Guerrero Tag Team champions battled it out in an entertaining opener which got the crowd going. Great match but it could have been better and they deserved longer. Also there was one seriously botched move. Also Rey was adjusting his mask every minute which did get annoying. MATCH SCORE - (out of 10) 7Edge def. Chris Benoit, Shelton Benjamin, Christian, Chris Jericho and Kane in a money in the bank ladder match This was the match that gave Edge his money in the bank contract and then his WWE Title at New Year's Revolution. This match was extremely entertaining. Shelton Benjamin gets my VIP of the match. MATCH SCORE - 9SEGMENT - Eugene came out and spoke about midgets for a while before being interrupted by Muhammad Hassan and Daivari. Hassan then spoke about not having a match and not being able to have a Wrestlemania moment. He then said he was going to make one. Hassan and Daivari started beating up Eugene then Hassan applied the camel clutch on Eugene before HULK HOGAN came to the ring and beat up Hassan and Daivari. Nice segment. SEGMENT SCORE - 7.5Undertaker def. Randy Orton Better than expected match. Both men did a great job and the run in of "Cowboy" Bob Orton worked well. Undertaker won and improved his Wrestlemania record to 13-0 MATCH SCORE - 8Trish Stratus def. Christy Hemme to retain the Womens Championship Trish tried hard to make this match good but it didn't work. Luckily it didn't last long. I don't think anyone was paying attention to the wrestling, rather the divas themselves. MATCH SCORE - 5Kurt Angle def. Shawn Michaels Match of the night. What a great match. MATCH SCORE - 9.5PIPER'S PIT WITH SPECIAL GUEST STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN Austin and Piper argued. Carlito came and trash talked both of them. He then attacked Piper, Austin laughes then helped Piper. The predictably Austin stunned Carlito, drank beer with Piper and the Stunned Piper as well. SEGMENT SCORE - 7Akebono def. Big Show in a Sumo Match What a great sumo match. This was so cool to watch. NOT. This was pure crap and what was so far a great pay per view go down a level. MATCH SCORE - 1John Cena def. JBL to win the WWE Championship This match was okay. Cena won. It's funny because when Cena won the crowd went nuts, when he lost the title to Edge the crowd went nuts and there was no heel turn. MATCH SCORE - 6Batista def. Triple H to win the World Heavyweight Championship Triple H carried Batista well here. This match was good. MATCH SCORE - 7TOTAL SCORE - 60/10GRADE - B
... View MoreIn terms of a wrestlemania this scores an average 6 out of 10 even though Cena won title(I'm A HUGE CENA FAN)In terms of a pay per view in the year 2005 it was probably one of the stronger ones. heres a rundown MATCH ORDER MITE BE A BIT WRONG1. Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero6.5/10 Would have been a great match if not for mysterio and his mask he spent the whole match fiddling with his mask, but still an acceptable beginning.2. Edge Vs Benjamin Vs Jericho Vs Benoit Vs Kane Vs Christian MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH7.5/10 I have to admit i thought this match was over rated still very good but not the best ladder match you'll see...Benjamin was amazing in the match but it was far too short for my liking.3. Undertaker Vs Randy Orton7/10 Good match considering taker is finished, I'm a huge Orton fan so my analysis may be biased. Good match Bob Ortons involvement made the match better as false endings were created, Orton hits one of the best rko's your ever gonna see.4. Christy Vs Trish(WOMENS CHAMP) womens title match3/10 Both looked great, but poor match in terms of excitement and quality , christy isn't a wrestler so I'm not gonna slate her off like others choose to do ,she makes an effort which is good enough but she shouldn't be facing a legend like TRISH.5. Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels9/10 This match made wrestlemania 21 ..an amazing match between the two best athletes in wwe today, angle is so good some fans even turn on hbk and back angle, which is saying something because as far as I'm concerned the Hollywood crowd were awful , they really couldn't be bothered with anything didn't help the event. anyway back to match ,great match great moves, hbk's injury selling is great as usual , bit of a surprising ending which made it even better TOP TOP MATCH!!!6. Pipers Pit AUSTIN GUEST3/10 pointless, nothing meaningful said..carlito comes out ,,,crowd show there poorness again by giving Austin a dry ovation when he deserves one of high quality.7. Akebono Vs Big Show SUMO MATCH2/10 awful spent half the time wiping themselves with powder, sumo match lasted bout 4 seconds max, both r looking awfully disgusting in nappy type clothing.8. JOHN CENA Vs J.B.L (WWE CHAMP) WWe championship match8/10 For me ...for everyone else probably 4/10 Great match for me because cena won, but really it was awful, jbl virtually punched and kicked cena the whole way thru ,crowd didn't help by being lazy and just sitting in silence, but it was slightly understandable cus the match was so poor, anti climatic finish to not just the match but the whole rivalry. Iv seen a lot better.9. Batista Vs Triple H (WORLD CHAMP) world championship match5.5/10 I hate Batista, so seeing him win annoyed me, ridiculous match because Triple H beat the crap out of Batista for whole match but by the end with Hunter busted open made it seem like Batista had given him a real rollicking, when really triple h carried Batista the whole way through, average match seen a lot better but it was better then the JBL Cena match.
... View MoreAs I mentioned on the WrestleMania XX boards, WM's 17 and 19 were better than this one, but it was still worth the price.Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Mysterio: A great match between the 2 Tag Team title co-holders. I think that a move or 2 was botched, but a good match with Rey winning with a roll-up. 4/5 Money In the Bank Ladder Match: Chris Jericho Vs. Shelton Benjamin Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Kane Vs. Edge Vs. Christian: A lot of risk-taking moves in this one. What would you expect in a ladder match? Edge and Christian knock out Kane w/ a Ladder Duet (as Jerry "The King" Lawler called it), Benoit hits Kane w/ a headbutt off the ladder, Shelton runs up a fallen ladder and clotheslines Jericho, Shelton T-Bone suplexes Edge off a ladder, and Kane wounds Benoit's right arm by hitting it between a ladder. Benoit almost wins until Edge hits his injured arm w/ a chair, causing him to fall off, withering in pain. Edge climbs the ladder and retrieves the briefcase. 5/5 Legend Vs. Legend Killer: Randy Orton Vs. Undertaker: Undertaker's entrance was just as good as WM 20's. This time, he (almost) literally glides to the ring! I personally wanted Randy to win this. Some people in the audience even had 12-1 signs. The match highlights include Taker's usual Old School and vintage leg drop off the apron (onto his opponent's head), interference by Randy's dad, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, a dragon sleeper submission reversed into a DDT, and a chokeslam reversed into an RKO. In the end, Randy tries to Tombstone Taker, but it's reversed into a Tombstone by Taker. Taker's streak at WM is intact at 13-0. 4/5 WWE Women's Championship: Trish Stratus (c) Vs. Christy Hemme:Personally, I think that Christy did pretty well for her first title match. I was hoping (since Lita was training Christy) that Christy would shock us w/ a moonsault or a snap DDT, but it didn't happen. A few good roll ups here and there (and a Twist Of Fate) by Christy, but in the end, the Female Triple H retains w/ a Chick Kick. 3.5/5Kurt Angle Vs. Shawn Michaels: Possibly one of the best matches of the night. The fight went back and forth between the two. Kurt does an Angle Slam from the turnbuckle, a failed moonsault, and reverses an attempted Sweet Chin Music into an ankle lock, while Shawn attempts an elbow drop, and hits Angle w/ a springboard moonsault onto an announce table, but the table doesn't break. In the end, Kurt wins after making Shawn tap out to the ankle lock. 5/5Sumo Match: Akebono Vs. Big Show: It wasn't exactly my cup of tea seeing Show in a sumo outfit, but the match was good. Short and sweet, with Show actually lifting Akebono up, but Show is tossed out of the ring. Akebono wins. 3/5 WWE Championship Match: John "Bradshaw" Layfield (c) Vs. John Cena: JBL makes his best entrance yet, with a police motorcade escorting him to the ring and "In JBL We Trust" 100 dollar bills (w/ JBL's face on them) falling from the ceiling. JBL actually carries the Doctor Of Thuganomics through most of the match. Cena makes a late comeback in the end of the match and ends up winning the WWE title!!! WTF was WWE thinking!? They let JBL beat everyone else over the past 9+ months, but let him lose in a 12 minute match!? I was actually rooting for JBL. Well, JBL can always get the belt back in the future. 4/5 (minus a point since Cena won) World Heavyweight Championship Match: Triple H (c) Vs. Batista: This is a little better than the JBL/Cena match since I like Batista more than Cena. Like the Angle/Michaels match, this goes back and forth. Flair even interferes a few times. WHOOOOOOO!! LOL Anyway, after reversing an attempted Pedigree on the steel steps, Batista busts H-Boy open catapulting him into the ring post. H-Boy hits a low blow on Batista while the ref deals w/ Flair. He goes for another Pedigree, but Batista is too strong and forces his arms free. Dave then nails a bloody H-Boy to the mat w/ a piledriver-esquire move. H-Boy's 10th World Heavyweight Title reign comes to an end after Batista hits him w/ a Batista-bomb for the 3-count. Batista celebrates in the ring as pyro goes off around the ceiling. Your winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion, Batista!!! 5/5
