This was one of the worst Wrestlemania's I've seen. It just didn't stand out at all, really. Card wise, I thought it was going to be pretty good, but every match just seemed to fall short.Chris Benoit vs. MVP One of the better matches. Benoit carried it. I just didn't think MVP was that great, but Benoit saved this match. Kane vs. Khali Wow, these two guys don't mix. Or maybe it's Khali and any other person alive don't mix. Awful match.Melina vs. Ashley I'm not a fan of female wrestling.ECW Originals vs. New Breed I was excited about this match, until I saw it. Really, Really disappointing.Edge vs. CM Punk vs. King Booker vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Finlay vs. Randy Orton Absolutely the worst MITB match so far. Just a major let down, to many people in the ring at the same time. It just didn't live up.Bobby Lashley vs. Umaga O.K. not extremely impressive, but not the worst of the night.Batista vs. Undertaker This was maybe the best match of the night. Very, very, very nice to see something good for a change. John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels I really feel like this match deserved to be last. People make a case for Batista vs. Undertaker, but this match was just as good. I am starting to get sick of seeing Cena win every match though. It's getting a little old. Now, I have to say, I feel this match is the best of the night, but I'm a huge Shawn Michaels fan, so I'm a little biased. Batista vs. 'Taker may have been better, but I'm biased, so...sorry. The last two were undoubtedly the best matches of the night and most everything else really came up short.
... View MoreYou know, every once in a while you get that one Wrestling event that beats everything you have seen in the past few years. I mean, Wrestlemania 21 was OK, Wrestlemania 22 was just not up to Wrestlemania standards, and then Wrestlemania 23 came along from Ford Field Detroit. I had my reservations about it. First off, half of the matches on the card did not have good enough build up to them or not a good enough story behind them. However the show was opened with an amazing Money in the Bank match, most notably Jeff Hardys jump off the ladder onto Edge lying on the ladder outside the ring, simply amazing. Khali vs. Kane was everything we expected it to be- rubbish! Then there was a wildcard match that really surprised me. The US title match between Benoit and MVP was simply brilliant for good technical wrestling and applauds to MVP for one brilliant performance. And then there was the World Heavyweight Championship match. This was another match i did not have high expectations for, generally because i'm not a huge fan of the Undertaker but we all new he was going to win it. However i have never been more glad to be proved wrong. The match was an incredible roller coaster ride. And i really have to hand it to Batista for one hell of a show and watch out for his powerslam through the announcers table. Sadly that will be the last time the Animal holds the title, but you've really gotta give it up for him!I'll keep my review of the next match short and sweet, ECW originals Vs The New Breed. Again, rubbish!And then the Battle of the Billionaires. Sadly this match was the one that i was most excited for and didn't quite live up to the hype in my view, but still awesome all the same with a few twists that not even i expected.The Lumberjill match for the Womens title was great on the eyes but sadly not long enough, but oh well.Then my biggest surprise of the evening in the Main Event. Yerse i am one of those weird John Cena fans and not even i know why i am, i just like him. Anyway, this match again i didn't feel had enough build up or hype to it even though there was a fairly good story behind it. First off, HBK's entrance was awesome, watch out for it, and John Cena's entrance was simply brilliant. The match itself had me on the edge of my seat cos i really had no idea who was gunna win it, and it was just brilliant, i have never seen Cena and Shawn wrestle so well and this one was truly a matter of heart and wills and who wanted to win it most and i am glad to say that The Champ is still here!So really overall, one of the best Wrestlemania's in recent memory and you really must look out for the amazing entrance stage and the fireworks and screen effects and light and sound for the entrances, truly spectacular. Really, you have to see this Wrestlemania, simply amazing!
... View MoreAll the main matches lived up to the hype and then some. MITB3 was outstanding. Including Hardy's leg drop from the ladder putting Edge through the table. Taker/Batista was great as well. Finally, Batista showed and performed better than the average "roid head" he is. Hair vs. Hair was also good. Thanks for adding the "Coast to Coast" by Shane O' Mac, it made the match that much better. And finally, HBK/Cena had some excellent bumps in their match including the pile driver on to the steps by HBK which busted Cena wide open. Overall 8 out 10, right up there with WM17 and WM22, two of the highest rated WMs on this site. As for the under cards: Beniot/MVP 5 out 10; Khali/Kane 1 out 10 (Wrestlecrap.com here we come!); Lumberjill match 3 out 10; ECW match 4 out 10 (kinda stunk); Pre-wrestlemania tag-team lumberjack match- 5 out of 10 (only because of the Nature Boy! WOOOOOOOOOOO!)
... View MoreMoney in the bank 2 start off... was a surprise. Jeffs leap AMAZING... all the finishers going around didn't like and the ending was predictable... Kennedy.Kane V khali... why? main highlight Kane scoop slamming kahli.. shades of mania 3. khali wins with a choke bomb MVP V Benoit: i was actually enjoying this match but the finish ruined it. i was pulling for MVP but then it just ended suddenly after Benoit hit the head but of the top.Undertaker V Batista: was expecting a crappy slug fest but i was really impressed.. great match with the dead man going 15-0 originals v new breed: was short but exciting... RVD wins with a 5-STAR Lashley V Umaga: nothing to great.. Austin made the match fun :D lashley gets the win after a stunner from Austin and then spearing umaga. BALD GOES VINCE!! Austin then stunner's TRUMP :O Ashley v Melina: great toilet break :) HBK V cena: TOP MATCH!! cena wins with an stfu.. great counters all over the ring... match had me on my feet!!
