Summary: Again, a great DVD package!
Review: If you know all about the event, then you don't need to know my thoughts on the matches. But what you might want to know before purchasing the DVD is information about the extra features.Not surprisingly, the WWF gives you another great buy, putting 7 hours of footage on two DVDs. The first disc ends with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Scott Hall, and its extra features include WWF SuperStar comments on their favorite WrestleMania memories (Edge, Jericho, Slaughter, Triple H, Angle) and some exclusive interviews (Vince McMahon on Byte This, and post-match comments by Angle, RVD, and DDP). The second DVD features the last four matches and the highlight video. Its features are more unexpected. In addition to more post-match comments (Trish Stratus, Maven), it includes the Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior match from SkyDome's WrestleMania VI (with a foreword by Edge). Also, it has great interviews on RAW with The Rock and Hollywood Hogan (one where they set the match, another on the night after the event). All in all, they aren't the extra features that I would expect to see. There isn't a big section for "History Packages," or matches from Heat (ala Rikishi, Scotty, Albert versus Test, Lance Storm, Mr. Perfect). But the extra features they do provide are full-length instead of just highlights, like on last year's WrestleMania X-Seven disc. Regardless where you would place this event in the WrestleMania legacy, the DVD ranks up with WrestleMania X-Seven as one of the best packaged DVD releases. If you only buy one pay-per-view, it seems as though the WWF will make sure that WrestleMania is the best bet, year after year!

Summary: One for the history books
Review: Wrestlemania 18... Not the best Wrestlemania ever, but really entertaining. I am very happy with the extra features on these disc. Here's the matches on the PPV card, before I do anything else. IC title match: William Regal vs. Rob Van Dam European title match: DDP vs. Christian Hardcore title match: Maven vs. Goldust Kane vs. Kurt Angle Ric Flair vs. The Undertaker 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall Tag team title match: Billy & Chuck vs. The Hardyz vs. The Dudleyz vs. APA The Rock vs. Hollywood Hogan Women's title match: Jazz vs. Lita vs. Trish Stratus (why was this AFTER the headlining event?!) Undisputed title match: Chris Jericho vs. Triple H Overall, a good card. But it doesn't matter how good the card is if the event (is boring), right? Well, the event is a fun event to watch, one of the best matches is RVD vs. William Regal, a very enjoyable match. I love the extra features! A brief list of the extras... "Byte This" w/Vince McMahon

More postmatch comments I have not seen so many features on a wrestling disc! The event is a 2-disc long event. I love this disc. It's worth it if you're a WWE/NWA-TNA/wrestling fan. Drowning Pool and Saliva performs, too. But the crowd is dead before and after the performances.

Summary: Just didn't feel as WRESTLEMANIA!!! as it should have done
Review: Wresltemania X8 (2002) IC Title - William Regal V Rob Van Dam
This was a decent opener. Regal tires to cheat with the bras knucks but fails. The end is cool with RVD winning. 6/10 European Title - DDP V Christian
Quite a boring match really. The crowd weren't very into it either. 5/10 Hardcore Title - Goldust V Maven
Just as the match picks up, Spike runs in and pins Maven to win the title. Troughout the night there are various title changes backstage. They should have just had a hardcore battle royal instead. 7/10 Kurt Angle V Kane
Considering there were no titles on the line, no stipulations, and a pretty crap storyline, these 2 put on a good match. 7/10 No DQ Match - Ric Flair V Undertaker
This was a cool match, involving various weapons. There's also a fair amount of blood. The end is cool, with Undertaker using the tombstone piledriver to put his WM record to 10-0! 8/10 Edge V Booker T
There was nothing very speical about this match and the storyline was a joke (something about a Japanese shampoo advert!) At least the right man won. 6/10 Stone Cold V Scott Hall with Kevin Nash
This could have been far better because it was at a point when Stone Cold was having problems with WWE. They still deliver a very solid match though, and the end is good. 8/10 Tag Team Titles - Billy & Chuck V Hardys V Dudleys V APA
This was a good match, including a table breaking. The action is fast and entertaining, and the crowd seemed into it. The real bad point was the end with Billy & Chuck retaining to make the whole match pretty pointless. 8/10 The Rock V Hulk Hogan
This should have been the main event. I know the Title match should be the main event of Wrestlemania really, but this is what everyone came to see. They match was good, but what was really great was the atmosphere. The noise from the crowd was phenominal, and there was a massive mixed reaction with chants of Rocky and Hogan at the same time! The ending is also good - so good that I won't tell you what it was! 8/10 Women's Title - Lita V Trish V Jazz
God knows what possesed WWE to put this on after Rock and Hogan. It made the ladies look bad, even though it wans't that bad considering it was a womens match. On top of that Jazz wins, instead of Trish who was in her home coutry. 4/10 WWE Title - Chris Jericho V Triple H
It's a shame they didn't make Rock/Hogan the main event, and have this just before it because people were restless by now. They had come to see Rock/Hogan and they'd seen it. They put on a good match though, including a chair and the announce table. The ending with the title going to Triple H rounded off the show well too. 8/10 Overall
Had this been any other PPV, like Judgement Day or No Mercy or something, it would have been great. However, this was supposed to Wrestlemania, and it just didn't feel like it, especially compared to the previous year's Wresltemania X7, which is still the best event ever. 4/5

Summary: Over-Hyped WrestleMania
Review: WrestleMania X8 was one of the most over-hyped Manias of all time. Not saying that all WrestleManias are not hyped before the event starts, but the way X8 was hyped is an insult to the latest and greatest WrestleManias. (X7, 2000, XX and XIX) You see, X8 suffers from the fact that it's the WM after X7, the greatest event of wrestling in history, so it'd be near impossible to come near it, especially considering that X8 used guys that shouldn't be in the spotlight anymore, for example Hogan and Trips (Not saying that HHH should be retired, but c'mon, a mainevent with a guy with a bad leg who beats an up and coming, and more deserving and talented wrestler?) and that X8's main attraction was the Hogan/Rock bout.... more on that later. Here's the list of the card, along with a small review: 1.RVD vs. Regal- IC Title
Fair match, a little slow and some fairly entertaining moves, but the bottom line is, the styles don't complement eachother and it was a fairly boring opener. C+ 2.DDP vs. Christian- Euro Title
A surprising match whch isn't bad, but the way this match was under-hyped makes the match look worse than what it was. No real memorable details, but worth watching once. Why Christian is so underrated is beyond me... he has great ring psychology and mic skills. B- 3.Goldust vs. Maven- Hardcore Title
This match is like a cracker with no dip... maybe even half a cracker with no dip. Gimmicky finish. C--- 4.Kane vs. Kurt Angle
Why Kane was even in a WM is beyond me- and why Kurt's talents are wasted with Kane is also mind-blowingly stupid. Kane makes Kurt look boring. C+ 5.Ric Flair vs. Undertaker
One of the better matches on the card. Too bad that both men are slow and that the match is mainly a squash match, but the heavy blood flow and the fact that it's two legends is entertaining either way. B 6.Edge vs. Booker
Bad storyline leading up to WM, and fairly sloppy match to end it. This will make you think- why wasn't the Kurt/Edge hair vs. hair match here instead of Judgment Day? B- 7.Austin vs. Hall
Good match, but more worthy of an average PPV, not WM. Not pushed to its potential. B- 8.Four Team Elimination Match- Tag Titles
By now your brain should've been wiped of entertainment, and you won't remember anything from this match. Why did a temporary team win? C+ 9.Rock vs. Hogan
The match of the decade/millenium/whatever made this card what it is. Kinda in-a-way. This match is an average bout with no real surprises. Kicking out of finishing moves excite you? Then give this match an A, but realistically this match was overhyped and predictable and the storylines leading up to it was lame. At least the crowd kept the match exciting. Kind of anyway... C+ 10.Lita vs. Jazz vs. Trish- Women's Title
Who cares? It's just a filler between the Rock/Hogan match and HHH/Jericho match. skip it. No grade needed. 11.Jericho vs. Trips- Undisputed Title
One of the worst matches on the card. What a WM Mainevent shouldn't be. The storyline was more in the shadow of the HHH/Steph feud, and the match was slow and Toronto just didn't give a damn about it. The rematch with both men at Judgment Day in Hell in the Cell is 10 times better. Jericho didn't wrestle to his potential and HHH was in no shape to be there. C- Worth missing out on.

Summary: The one and only Wrestlemania 18
Review: March 17, 2002 The one and only Wrestlemania 18. Live from the Skydome in Toronto, Canada. At this Wrestlemania an Icon took on an Icon, a man came back from injury to the grand stage, 6 of the 7 WWF championships were on the line, 11 huge blockbuster matches were signed, a record crowd of 68,237 (second largest in Wrestlemania history) was at hand, there were musical performances by Drowning Pool and Saliva, and a event on one will every forget took place at Wrestlemania 18. 1. WWF Intercontinental championship: William Regal (c) vs. Rob Van Dam; RVD won in a great opener to set the stage for the rest of the event.7/10
2. WWF European Championship: Diamond Dallas Page (c) vs. Christian; DDP won in a good match. It was nothing special but it was still fun to see. 6/10
3. WWF Hardcore Championship: Goldust vs. Maven (c); In a odd turn of events Spike Dudley became champion and during the event The Hurricane beat Spike, Mighty Molly beat Hurricane, Christian beat Mighty Molly, and Maven became champion a second time by beating Christian. 8/10
4. Kane vs. Kurt Angle; It was a awsome match, and both men did a great job. Although at the end Kane had his shoulder of the mat but the referee still counted to 3. 9/10
5. Ric Flair vs. Undertaker; Great match, I always love to see Flair get his ass kicked. Undertaker goes 10 and 0 at Wrestlemania. 10/10
6. Edge vs. Booker T: Good match, but should have been the opener. Edge wins in a match to the end. 7/10
7. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall with Kevin Nash; Great story line for this match, but it turned out to be Stone Cold beating the hell out of both men with out any trouble. Yes Stone Cold wins! 8/10
8. Four-Team Elimination Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship: Billy and Chuck vs. the Hardy Boyz vs. the APA vs. the Dudley Boyz; Yes there was a table and it was broken. Good fast action, but Billy and Chuck are able to keep the gold. 8/10
9. The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan; Did it live up to the hype? Well I think it could have been better. It was possibly the best match of the event, but I still felt like it shold have been longer. The Rock pulled off a great win in a excellent match. 9/10
10. Triple-Threat Match for the WWF Women's Championship: Jazz (c) vs. Lita vs. Trish Stratus; Normal women's action, should have been sooner in the event. Trish Stratus wins the title and proves that she can fight. 6/10
11. Undisputed WWF Championship: Chris Jericho (c) with Stephanie McMahon vs. Triple H; Great match and finally the Spanish announce table is broken. After coming back from injury Triple H becomes champion once again.10/10
One of the best Wrestlemanias of all time this event was off th chart good. 10/10

Summary: WWE Wrestlemania X8
Review: IC Title
Regal vs. RVD 7/10
This was a good match 2 different styles. I liked RVD kicking the Brass Knuckles off Regal's hand and his 5 star frog splash!!! European Title
DDP vs. Christian 8/10
This was a very fast paced match. It was funny when Christian lost and lost his temper. Hardcore Title
Maven vs. Goldust 5/10
This was ok. It went all over the place and in the end Maven walked away with the Hardcore Title. Kane vs. Kurt Angle 7/10
This match was good. A little sloppy at times but Kane should have won. No DQ
Ric Flair vs. Undertaker 8/10
This was a great match Ric Flair's second Wrestlemania. There was a lot of blood. Good spot with Arn Anderson. Undertaker made his record at Wrestlemania 10-0 Edge vs. Booker T 8/10
Great match but a little short. Edge was so funny doing the spin-a-rooni. Austin vs. Scott Hall 9/10
Another great match Scott Hall and Austin can really put on a great match. WWE Tag Titles Fatal 4 Way
APA vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Billy & Chuck 6/10
The match had some high points. The Hardyz were the best they should have won. Rock vs. Hulk Hogan 10/10
WOW! This was an amazing match. In this match when Hogan wrestled it was almost like he turned back the hands of time and he was back in his prime. The Rock is already in his prime and as usual was great. Women's Title
Trish vs. Jazz vs. Lita 6/10
Good match but I liked the Triple Threat match at Wrestlemania XIX better. Undisputed Title HHH vs. Y2J 7/10
This was a great match. Y2J was doing some smart wrestling by using HHH's quad injury to his advantage. What a great ending with HHH winning the title!!! This a must have for any WWE fan!!!
