Summary: Icon vs. Icon
Review: A truly epic event. Hogan vs. Rock is the BEST match of all time bard none. Also, the entire undercard including the three co-main events are awesome. Great from top to bottom. This is the best WM ever! Bar none. Purchase it now.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: STINKFEST 18
Review: This was probably the worst wrestlemania of all time. Watching a Hogan match has got to be the worst punishment in the world. Punch, Kick, Scoop Slam. That about sums up Hogan's moves in the match. Triple H had to sell his leg injury the whole match, which made his match with Jericho look horrible compared to there other matches. Don't waste your money on buying this ppv, go out and rent it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: Of course, anything other than a home run would have been a letdown after WrestleMania X-Seven. But even standing alone, WM X8 was a bit of a letdown.
To clear something up, the best match of the night was NOT Rock vs. Hogan. Indeed, that match was also a five-star effort, but a truly epic match requires outstanding efforts on both wrestler's parts, not just one (read: The Rock carried Hogan). By this definition, the Taker-Flair street fight ranked as the best match of the night. Truly a great story told by two of the greatest of all time.
The main event was disappointly shirt, but still an exemplary match. This match also told a great story (who can't see the drama in Jericho's "break HHH's knee" effort?), and involved a truly satisfying moment as HHH pedigree'd Stephanie.
Austin vs. Hall was also a good (but not great) match, but also disappointingly short. The same goes for the rest of the show - there were no out-and-out duds, but no classics either.
Thus far, however, WrestleMania X8 is the best WWF Pay-Per-View of the year. For that alone, it should be worth your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best WrestleManias
Review: RVD vs William Regal: Good Solid Match. RVD takes a nasty bump 4/5

DDP vs Christian: Good short match: 4/5

Harcore Title: Entertaining but not nearly as good as WM17 2/5

Kane vs Kurt Angle: Neither Kane or Kurts best match. 3/5 because kane and Kurt are 2 of my favorite wrestlers

Ric Flair vs Undertaker: A whole lot better then i expected. Great match from Taker. One of his best in a while. Same goes for Flair 5/5

Edge vs Booker T: Good match between 2 up and comers 4/5

Stone Cold vs Scott Hall: Ok match could mave been good but 2 short 3/5

Tag Titles: Good Tag Match. I was suprised that Biily and Chuck reatined the titles 4/5

Rock vs Hogan: Best Match of the night. Tons of emotion. At the end i thought The Rock was going to cry. 5/5

Jazz vs Trish vs Lita: Better then average Women match. Trish looked like she got hurt really bad 3/5

HHH vs Jericho: One of the worst Maina main events, but still an ok match. I was just hoping that Triple h turned heel and joined Steph o well 3/5

Overall i though it had to be one of the top 5 best WrestleMainas

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An okay WrestleMania
Review: This WrestleMania is worth the money to buy but not the best ppv of all time(As it was supposed to be.)
1. Intercontinental Championship
RVD VS William Regal(Champion) This was a good match except RVD didn't go all out for 'Mania
2.European Championship
ddp(Champion) VS Christian-This was a solid match with some big spots
3.Hardore Championship
Maven(Champion) VS Goldust-They weren't even in most of the match. Best part with this is Hurricane swooping in and hitting Spike.
4.Kurt Angle VS Kane- A great match from start to finish but the ending is silly
5.Ric Flair VS Undertaker- Another awesome match but Flair messes up the steal pipe shot to Taker's head. But one of the best matches in the night
6. Booker T VS Edge-this was good but it ended a little early
7. Stone Cold Steve Austin VS Scott Hall(and Nash)-This match was also super. Austin gives Hall a WrestleMania Stunner.
8."Hollywood" Hulk Hogan VS The Rock-This match stole the show. As said in another review Hogan showed one more exciting match of his career. Rock and Hogan both were great.
9.Tag-Team Championship Fatal Four Way.
Dudleys VS Hardy's VS APA VS Billy and Chucky(Champions)-This wasn't as good as suspected but is was an alright WM tag-team match
10.Women's Championship Triple Threat
Trish VS Lita VS Jazz(Champion)-It was alright but seeing Trish's puppies would have been better
11.WWF Undisputed Championship
Triple H VS Chris Jericho(w/ Stephanie)- I felt like the whole fued was with HHH and Stephanie. Jericho deserves better. But it was a little drug out but it was a good WM finish.

I WOULD BUY THIS DVD/VIDEO!!!!! Maybe just for Hulk

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Wrestlemania EVER!, but a disappointing DVD
Review: This is simply the best Wrestlemania of all time. Period. The simple fact of seeing Hulkamania rise again was very emotional. Every single WWF fan MUST own this PPV. The card was good (except for the Austin vs. nWo match). and the crowd reaction was simply amazing. And that's a good thing!

The bad thing is that this DVD is a dissapointment. Wreslemania 2000 came in a 2-disc set including Wrestlemania history, the Spanish commentary (very funny) and other extras. Wrestlemania X-Seven also came in a 2-disc set with a few extras (but no Spanish commentary). This DVD has no extras, at least they should include the Raw after Wrestlemania, exclusive interviews with the wrestlers, the WWF Desire clips and the Spanish commentary...I give 5 stars just for the PPV alone. It is worth the purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WWF WRESTLEMANIA X-8
Review: Wrestlemania 18 was deffanatley one for the ages.Not only it leaved up to its hype it went way beyond it with some classic matches and one phenomenal match.Wrestlemania 18 was held in Toronto Canada in the Skydome.

-It kicked off with an AWESOME intro where they wrestlers discuss there thoughts and feelings of Wrestlemania.

-Rob Van Dam vs Wlliam Regal (I.C title)
GOOD opener with RVD showing his stuff.Regal wasnt to bad aswell and they both got the Toronto crowd HYPED, RVD takes a nasty suplex where he landed on the back of the head but does get back up and manages to leave Canada as the Intercontinental Champion.

-Christian interview

-DDP vs Christian (European Title)
A very competitive match up that was entertaining.Christian chucks another tantrum in front of his people and DDP keeps his title.

-Rock interview (hilarious)

-Goldust vs Maven (hardcore title)
Nothing different from what we see on Raw or smackdown.Spike takes advantage of the 24/7 rule and becomes the Hardcore Champ.

-Drowning Pool sings while watching the HHH/Y2J fued.

-Hardcore match 2: Spike, Crash, Hurricane Helms and Al Snow have a tiny brawl(if that) backstage and Helms is now the Champ.

-Kurt Angle vs Kane
Athletism vs Strength.Angle takes control as he smacked Kane with the ring bell before the match.This match was what you'd expect from these two, hard hitting and alot of suplexes.One overhead belly to belly suplex stands out which was from the top rope and looked pretty good.

-Hurricane Helms hides with the Hardcore title in the Godfathers ho's locker room. (funny)

-Intense rivalry of of Undertaker and Ric Flair.

-Ric Flair vs Undertaker (No DQ)
Awesome and surprising match thats starts off with brawling in and out of the ring, nothing was fancy bout this match as it was a smash mouth in your face one sided slobberknocker.This was very entertaining, i give credit to both men who worked incredibly hard during the match.Ends with Flair bloodied and Undertakers Wrestlemania streak now at 10-0.

-Booker-t interview

-Booker-t vs Edge
Nice obvation for Edges home coming.Edge has picked up his game in singles matches and shows it off at Wrestlemania.Also nice match for Booker-t for his first Wrestlemania.The match starts off fast and ends with Edge leaving Canada as a winner.

-Hardcore match 3:Mighty Molly is now hardcore champion after hitting Hurricane Helms in the back of the head with a frying pan.

-Stone Cold Steve Austin & Scott Hall rivalry

-Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Scott Hall
Austin enter the ring with an obvation as Hall enters with Kevin Nash.The match was nothing special at all whihc is a shame.This 1 on 1 match soon turned into a handicap match and two refs are attacked but the two stunners did the job and Austin celebrates his Wrestlemania victory with a few cold ones in front of the Canadian audience.

-A look at WWF Axxcess

-Dudley Boyz vs Hardy Boyz vs APA vs Billy and Chuck(Four way ellimination tag titles)
I was looking foward to this match but it didnt deliver.These teams can do alot better.APA starts off the match showing there strength and Billy gets a HUGE clothesline right before APA gets elliminated.The match gets surprisingly slow, Devon wakes tthe crows up as he gets smashed through a table on the outside of the ring.Now it comes down to Hardyz and Billy and Chuck and when it is all over Billy and Chuck are still the Champ.

-Hardcore match 4: A hilarious title change when Christian slams a door in Molly Holly's face and takes the Hardcore title from her.

-Rivalry of Rock & Hulk Hogan

-Hulk Hogan vs The Rock
Wrestlings past vs Wrestlings future it is like Ali vs Tyson.Both enormous icons in the buisness makes this one of the most anticipated matches in Wrestling history.The crowd was so into this like ive never seen, every move was a standing obvatian.Everyone was behind Hogan, at one point they chanted Rocky Sucks.This match was so intense and full of oh's & ah's.The last five minutes was off the page intense and the whole match was emotional and is one for the ages as everyfan was on there feet and The Rock beat Hogan with two rockbottoms, a people elbow and a show of respect which included a handshake we will see at many wrestlemania's a head of us.If you didnt watch it live PPV or in the stands, you dont know what you missed.

-Wrestlemania has set a new Skydome record of 68,237 people

-Trish vs Jazz vs Lita (womans title)
I was looking foward to this match as all three girls have great skill.Trish and Lita had a slug fest but Jazz does a fishermans buster from the top rope to retain her title.In my view the match could have been better.

-Hardcore match 5: Maven steals the title from Christian and leaves Wrestlemania in a cab.

-HHH vs Jericho with Stephanie
UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
This match had little build up but i was still looking foward to it as they a both AWESOME wrestlers and if you look back at there match at Fully Loaded 2000 they had a classic last man standing match.
HHH starts things off with punches and clotheslines but the reziliant Jericho fights back.Doesnt take long till Jericho works on HHH's injured left leg and stephanie cheap shoting HHH numerous times.It soon moves outside where nice table break happens.The match ends quick as jericho and Stephanie gets a pedigree and HHH now holds the Undisputed Championship.
The match itself could have been better as these two have had better matches but the aftermath was good.

-Overall this Wrestlemania is one of the best and well deserves to be in any collection especially for the Undertaker/Flair affair and the phenomenal Rock/Hogan classic.There was some dissapointing matches such as the tag titles match and the main event.They should have put Rock/Hogan as main event.But all in all i got my money's worth and im shore you will to.If you enjoyed Wrestlemania 18 you should love Wrestlemania 17 and 14.

RECOMENDED

Summary: More bark than bite
Review: The real main event of the night was Hogan vs The Rock. This is the third time Hogan tried to pass the torch to the younger generation. First was the Ultimate Warrior, then Goldberg and now finally The Rock. Will The Rock be able to carry the torch where the others have failed? We'll have to wait and see.
As for the rest of the event, it was pretty good matches, but somehow they seemd almost thrown together at the last second. The NWO were pushed into this event, without even getting thier feet planted and making a name for themselves in the WWF. Another thing, in recent years, it appears the WWF is spending less and less when it comes to Wrestlemania. All of the bells and whistles are gone and 90% of the matches shown is pretty much the same thing they show on TV, other than the longer time schedule. Very little originality involved lately. The only matches that grabbed my attention was Rock vs Hogan, Austin vs Hall, Rob Van Damme and the womens match was pretty spectacular.
I personally did'nt like the billing of the Rock vs Hogan event as the battle for who's the greatest in history. At this point and time, it did'nt matter who won, Hogan is the true pioneer of modern wrestling. No one has brought wrestling out of obscurity more than Hulk Hogan. Not Andre the Giant, not Georgeous George, not even The Rock. This is something that cannot be decided in a single match, it about a legacy that started in the late 70's, to the first Wrestlemania, to where the popularity of the sport is now. For The Rock to surpass Hogan, his career not only has to last as long as his, but will he be able to say he changed wrestling forever as Hogan did? This is the legacy The Rock has to live up to and it may too tall of an order for anyone. Don't get me wrong, the Rock is great and extremely popular, but he's just beginning. If any of you doubt Hogan's legacy, why don't you listen to what the audience had to say when those two met in Wrestlemania 18.

Summary: Not as Good as Wrestlemania X- Seven but better than many
Review: WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT WRESTLEMANIA X-8. THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS THAT I FEEL THAT IT DID NOT TOP WRESTLEMANIA X-SEVEN. YOU CAN'T TOP TLC 2, UNDERTAKER VS. HHH OR AUSTIN ROCK AND EVEN A GIMMICK BATTLE ROYAL. BUT MARCH 17 2002 DID DELIVER. IN A PACKED TORONTO SKYDOME WERE A RECORD BREAKING (PREVIOSLY OWNED BY WRESTLEMANIA 6 WITH 67,667)68,237 TO SEE AN AWESOME EVENT!

1. RVD VS. WILLIAM REGAL (IC TITLE) GOOD OPENING TO A WRESTLEMANIA. IT REALLY REMINDS ME OF THE JERICHO VS. REGAL MATCH FROM X-SEVEN. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS RVD IS THE FUTURE OF THE WWF. HE SURE REMINDS ME OF SHAWN MICHAELS. 4.5/5

2. DDP(EUROPENA CHAMP)VS CHRISTIAN NEED I SAY ANY MORE. OHH YEAH I LIKED HOW CHRISTIAN CRIED AT THE END. 1.5/5

3.MAVEN (HARDCORE CHAMP) VS. GOLDUST. IT WAS AN OK MATCH. DIDN'T SHOW ANY REAL TALENT. BUT A COMBINED OF 5 TITLE CHANGES THROUGH THE NIGHT. ALL COMBINED 3/5

4. KANE VS. ANGLE. THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT MATCH. IT SHOWCASED TWO EXCELLENT TALENTS AND THE "MACHINES" THE BIG RED AND THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE MACHINE. PROBABLY THE 4TH BEST MATCH OF THE NIGHT.5/5

5.FLAIR VS UNDERTAKER. 10-0. THAT IS ALL I NEED TO SAY. LIKE THERE WAS ANY DOUBT. VERY BLOODY AND PHYSICAL. BUT EVERY ONE KNEW THE TAKER WOULD TAKE IT. THE 3RD BEST MATCH JUST BECAUSE YOU WITNESS HISTORY AS THE FIRST PERSON BECOMES 10-0. 5/5

6. EDGE VS. BOOKER T WAS A GOOD MATCH. WAS A LOT BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. GREAT ATHLETISM BY BOTH YOUNG AND RISING STARS. 4/5

7. AUSTIN VS. HALL. AUSTIN'S WORST WRESTLEMANIA MATCH. EVEN WORST THAN AUSTIN VS. SAVIO VEGA. IF HALL THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD THAT HE IS A CRAZY RETARD. I'LL SAVE YOU TIME 1/5. (SHOULD OF BEEN AUSTIN VS. NASH)

8.hARDYZ VS DUDLEYZ VS. APA VS BILLY AND CHUCK (TAG CHAMPS) IT WAS NOT BETTER THAT THE PAST TWO TAG TITLE MATCHES AT WRESTLEMANIA BUT IT IS BETTER THAN MANY THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. WISHED THAT THE HARDYZ OFR THE DUDLEYZ OR EVEN THE APA WON BUT OH WELL. 3.5/5

9. ICON VS ICON, YOUNG LION VS THE OLD LION, PAST MEETS FUTURE HULK HOGAN VS. THE ROCK. I CAN SAY 1,000 WORDS ON THIS MATCH BUT ILL KEEP IT SHORT. THE BEST MATCH ON THE CARD AND ONE OF THE BEST OFF ALL TIME. HOGAN STILL HAS THE ABILITY TO KEEP UP WITH THE ROCK. EXCELLENT MATCH. THE BEST OF THE NIGHT. 100/5

10. LITA VS. TRISH VS. JAZZ(WOMENS CHAMP)I WISH I CAN SEE SOME MORE T AND A BUT ONE OF THE BEST WOMENS MATCHES OF ALL TIME (CONSIDERING THERE ARE NO GOOD WOMENS MATCHES) 4/5

11.HHH VS. CHRIS JERICHO W/STEPHANIE (WWF CHAMP) THE SECOND BEST MATCH OF THE NIGHT. IT LIVED UP TO WHAT I EXPECTED. HARDLY NO BIULD UP BETWEEN THE TWO MEN UNTIL THE LAST WEEK. ONLY BIULD UP BETWEEN HHH AND STEPHANIE. CONSIDERING HARDLY BIULD UP IT SURELY FELT PERSONAL. IT WAS A GREAT MATCH. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE GAME. 5/5

GOOD WRESTLEMANIA. 3RD OF ALL TIME BESIDES X-SEVEN AND WRESTLEMANIA XIV(DX RAIDED). IT WAS TRULY A SHOW TO SEE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wwf wrestlemania 18
Review: I like the ppv of wrestlemaina they could have done better in the main event. I think the main event should have been the THE ROCK vs HULK HOGAN. But i still like the main event because TRIPLE HHH is my favorite wrestler. this ppv will be the best that the wwf will do all year that will get 5 stars. this tape is worth it. i got the one on ppv ...but it was worth it so buy it.
