WWE - Wrestlemania 18

Summary: up and down
Review: the best match of the night was flair vs taker and hogen vs rock the worst match of the night was obviously the undisputed title match between triple h and jericho every time jericho and triple h is in the same ring wrestling the match stinks no wonder they didn't give jericho a rematch for the title because the match blew. anouther thing i like was the hardcore title changeing hands like 8 times just to end up in the same hands as it came in with. i was at wrestlemania X8 i thought it was the best wrestlemania i saw the main event should of been hogan vs the rock but of course there gonna put the championship last match but i guess they learned there leason on X9 putting the austin vs the rock last instead of triple h vs booker t or angle vs lesner and i also have the wrestlemania X8 dvd and i watch at least once a month

Summary: Slightly Underrated
Review: Intercontinental Championship
William Regal vs. Rob Van Dam
Peak of RVD's popularity. Solid opener with Regal laying on some innovative moves on RVD. They worked well together.

European Championship
Diamond Dallas Page vs. Christian
This was really DDP's last hurrah. This match is underrated. Lots of good counters at the end. Good match.

Hardcore Championship
Maven vs. Goldust
I wanted to like this but it just isn't good. An embarassing blown spot by Maven. Nice touch with the dueling trash can lids but this is more fitting for sunday night heat than the showcase of the immortals. Skidmark.

Kane vs. Kurt Angle
I liked this match. I don't think these two ever went one on one before and after this. Not bad at all. The finish would make you think there was gonna be a rematch but Kane went away for a while. Decent match.

Ric Flair vs. Undertaker
Almost match of the night. Great build up and psychology by both men. Flair gets beaten for a long time. A cameo by Arn Anderson seals the deal for this being a great match.

Edge vs. Booker T
Pretty good match considering the angle was a shampoo commercial! You watch these two and realize that they should be onto bigger and better things.

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall
Dream match of sorts. It's good but at only 9 minutes feels pretty rushed when you consider the participants.

Four Team Elimination match for the Tag Team Championship
Billy & Chuck vs. APA vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz
Not that good. Should've been two teams.

The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Wow! The crowd IS the match. Two icons finally! Technical aspect is poor but the energy and history going at it is unsurpassed! Any fan worth their salt has seen and/or owns this match.

Triple Threat for the Women's Title
Jazz vs. Lita vs. Trish Stratus
Crap

Undisputed Championship
Chris Jericho vs. Triple H
Stephanie did ruin the aura of the main event. The match itself is really good. The crowd was out of it which is too bad. Better than the average WM main event.

Summary: Greatest Interview in History!
Review: Let's get started shall we!

Show opens with an awesome performance of "Superstar" by Saliva. All Wrestlemanias should be kicked off like this.

Match #1 RVD vs. William Regal(c) for the Intercontinental Championship: Great opening match! Short, but sweet! RVD wins the belt at his first Wrestlemania! 7/10

Lilian interviews Christian...what a tool!

Match #2 DDP(c) vs. Christian for the European Championship: Another good match. DDP still has it and it shows here! Now he is on TNA and Christian is Captain Charisma still chasing belittling titles. But a good match! DDP retains with a Diamond Cutter! 7/10

Coach interviews The Rock...lame!

Match #3 Goldust vs. Maven(c) for the Hardcore Championship: AWESOME! Maven and Goldust crack eachothers skulls with gold trash can lids, and Spike Dudley runs in and pins Maven for the win! 9/10 This title continued to change hands for the rest of the night, which was sweet!!!

Drowning Pool has great performance of "Tear Away" to lead into the UDC match! Only bad thing about this was that they didn't show the story leading into the match later in the night.

Backstage Spike and Crash brawl, then Al Snow comes in with a golf cart! Finally Hurricane runs in and pins Spike and is the new Hardcore Champion!

Match #4 Kurt Angle vs. Kane: Another AWESOME match! Kane and Kurt put on great performances here. Kurt cheats to get the pin while holding the ropes for leverage! 8/10

Hurricane has a run in with the Godfather and his hoes...

Match #5 No DQ match Ric Flair vs. The Undertaker: The match of the night by far. Flair is the greatest of all time, and eventhough I hate the Undertaker, he was great here too. Even after a lead pipe to the skull and a spinebuster by Arn Anderson, UT nails the Tombstone on Flair. This match was almost 30 minutes! Great commentary by JR and King here too! 100000/10

Michael Cole interviews Booker T, this basically makes Booker look like a total idiot, but it was funny!!!

Match #6 Edge vs. Booker T: Prolly the worst match of the night. It was a result of a lame feud and bad chemistry by these guys. Both of these guys deserve much better then this. Edge wins in front of his hometown!!! 5/10

Coach tries to interview Hurricane when Mighty Molly comes in. Tricks Hurricane and clocks his brain in with a frying pan. Molly is the new HC Champ.

Match #7 Stone Cold vs. Scott Hall: Stone Cold gets the biggest pop I've ever seen!!! Crowd reaction to his entrance was insane!!! This would have been a match of the night, if it had somebody getting busted open! Despite Nash's constant interference, Austin nails 2 huge Stunners on Hall to finish him off! 8/10

Highlights from WWF Fan AXXess...

Match # 8 4 Corners Elimination match for the WWF Tag Team Championship The Hardyz vs. The Dudleyz vs. Billy & Chuck(c) vs. APA: Would have been awesome if Billy and Chuck didn't retain. APA or the Hardyz should have won. But a decent amount of action here. Billy and Chuck were a total disgrace and I'm glad that WWE has finally let them go! 6/10

Hulk tells Hall & Nash to not interfere, and to let him do this on his own. Then Hall & Nash still say they will be out there after Hogan leaves...

Molly is trying to find some sanctuary when an open dooor slams right into her cranium, knocking her out cold!!! It turns out to be Christian, and he pins her to become the new Hardcore Champ! Christian beat a woman!!! Very very FUNNY!!!

Huge story of how we got to Rock and Hogan...

Match #9 Icon vs. Icon The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan: We all know that almost everyone thinks this was one of the greatest matches in history! It was without a doubt a great match, and with the enormity of it, one of Wrestlemania's greatest ever! But in my opinion, it wasn't the match of this Wrestlemania. Ric and UT was just more action packed then this match, but this was a very very close second. Rock scores with the People's Elbow and picks up the pin on the Hulk. 10/10!!!

Hulk and Rock take care of the NWO after this, Hulk goes face and they both play majorly to the crowd!!!

Match #10 Lita vs. Trish vs. Jazz(c) for the WWF Women's Championship: Not great, but good for a womans match cause unlike most of the divas, these girls can actually wrestle! But that still doesn't stop Jazz from sucking as bad as she does! Shouldn't have been above Rock & Hulk! Jazz retains...6/10

Christian is about to get into a cab with his HC title when Maven sneaks up behind with a roll up. Maven is the new Hardcore Champion!!! He then steals Christian's cab and drives off, while Christian is left whining like a little baby!

Match #11 HHH vs. Chris Jericho(c) w/ Stephanie McMahon for the Undisputed Championship: I would just like to note that if Chris Benoit never got injured, he would be the UDC (and heel) in this match instead of Jericho. But don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Y2J fan, but Benoit is better we all know that. Anyways, not a long match. Only good part about it was when HHH pedigreed Stephanie! Drowning Pool opened for HHH as well. HHH beats Jericho and is the new UDC. I can't stand HHH so boring!!! 7/10

This is one of the best Wrestlemanias I have ever seen! Go get this!!! Has lots of great extras, including Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior from Wrestlemania 6.

Summary: WRESTLEMANIA 18!!
Review: This is #27 out of 130 greatest WWE DVD's. This PPV was incredible and I might move it up in the next couple of weeks. It was 3 matches worth mentioning.

Ric Flair vs. Undertaker was a massacre with Flair getting some shots in on Deadman in the No Holds Barred match. Taker still picks up the win and Flair loses control of RAW.

The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan was today's icon vs. yesterday's icon. I was really looking forward to this match and it was one of the best I've ever seen. The Rock picks up the win over Hogan.

Triple H vs. Chris Jericho was a match that wasn't to good and the only reason I'm reviewing it is because it is the Main Event. Triple H won the Rumble then the Title at Mania.

This DVD is a WrestleMania so you should go pick it up. This is the 2 best WrestleMania ever and WrestleMania 19 isn't to far away.

Summary: Wrestlemania X8
Review: This is one of the boringest wrestlemanias I have seen. I have seen every wrestlemania and own them all! This event was only built on one match which was Hogan vs. the Rock which is the best match on the card. Hall vs Stone Cold was one of the worst match that I have seen that involed stone cold. The mian event was weak too. Everybody knew that triple h was going to win.
All the matches on the card was terriable. This was the first wrestlemania that I didn't watch on pay-per-view, I waited for it to come out on dvd. If you haven't seen this one I suggest you rent it first. Everybody has a diffent taste.

Summary: I WOULD SAY ABOUT THE 6TH BEST WRESTLEMANIA OFF ALL TIME!
Review: THIS WAS A GREAT EVENT
THE OPENING MATCH UP WAS
WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
ROB VAN DAM VS. WILLIAM REGAL
THIS WAS A SHORT BUT VERY GOOD MATCH
RVD GOT PUNISHED WITH A LOAD OF CRIPLING SUPLEXES ONE WAS A GUT AND ELBOW SUPLEX WHICH SENT RVD ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND HE ALSO WRAPPED RVD'S OWN ARM AROUND HIS NECK HELD ONTO IT AND BROUGHT HIM DOWN WITH DEVASTATING IMPACT. A VERY GOOD OPENER IN MY OPINION AND THEY WAY THEY USED THE BRASS KNUCKS IN THE MATCH WAS JUST CLASSIC BECAUSE ALL YEAR REGAL HAD BEEN USIN GHT EKNUCKS TO WIN HIS MATCHES BUT AT MNAI IT WORKED TO RVD'S ADVANTAGE KICKING THE KNUCKS BACK INTO REGALS FACE AND HITTING THTE FROG SPLASH FOR THE WIN GREAT OPENER.

WWE EUROPENA TITLE MATCH
CHRISTIAN VS. DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE
THIS WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD MATCH CHRISTIAN IS A GREAT YOUNG ATHLETE AND WILL BE WORLD CHAMP ONE DAY AND DDP IS WAY PAST HIS PRIME AND WAS IN HIS LATE 40'S AT THE TIME BUT IT CERTAINLY DIDNT SHOW IN THIS MATCH THEY USED SOEM GREAT MOVES AND IT SUMMED UP TO A SUPRISINGLY GOOD MATCH

WINNER SPIKE DUDLEY????
SPIKE CAME AND CAPITOLIZED ON MAVEN AND PINNED HIM FOR THE 3 COUNT. LATER IN THE NIGHT HURRICANE WON THE TITLE THEN MOLLY HOLLY PINNED HURRICANE AFTER HITTIN HIM WITH THE PAN. CHRISTIAN THEN PIUSHED A DOOR INTO MOLLY TO WIN THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP AND THEN MAVEN ROLLED UP CHRISTAIN INA SCHOOL BOY TO CLAIM THE BELT AS CHRISTIAN WAS GETTIN INTO HIS CAR!

KURT ANGLE VS. KANE
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST MATCHES ON THE CARD RUINED ONLY BY THE ENDING WHERE KANES SHOULDERS WHERE CLAERLY UP AND IT TOOK KURT ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET HIS FEET ON THE ROPES. THIS WAS WHERE KURT ANGLE WAS AT HIS BEST.

NO DISQUALIFACATION MATCH
NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR VS. THE UNDERTAKER
BY WATCHING THIS MATCH YOU WOULDNT THINK THAT RIC FALIR WAS 52 YEARS OLD HE GOT BUSTED LIKE A STUFFED PIG AS J.R SAID AND UNDERTAKER HIT THE PIGGETS SUPERPLEX IN CAPTIVATY ON FLAIR THIS WAS A GREAT MATCH AND MY SECON D FAVOURITE ON THE CARD.

EDGE VS. BOOKER T
THIS MATCH NEEDE TWO THINGS TO MAKE IT A GREAT MATCH MORE FAN SUPPORT AND A BETTRE FRICKIN STORYLINE WHICH WOULD HAVE GOT THEM FAN SUPPORT! I MEA WHO EVER HEARD OF A FEUD OVER A SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL A SIGN IN THE CROWD EVEN SAID THEY ARE FIGHTING OVER SHAMPOO WHICH I THOUGHT WAS VERY TRUE EVEN THOUGH THE MATCH ITSELF WAS PRETTY GOOD AND EDGE GOT THE WIN IN HIS HOMETOWN IN THE SAME ARENA HE ATTENDED TO SEE THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR BEAT HULK HOGAN AT WRESTLEMANIA 6.

SCOTT HALL VS. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN
I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE THIS MATCH I THOUGHT IT WAS QUITE ENTERTAINING ACTUALLY WHEN NASH GOT INVOLVED YEAH IT WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS SOME OF THE MATCHES ON THE CARD BUT IT WASNT THAT BAD INFACT IT WAS GOOD

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP FATAL FOURWAY MATCH
THE APA VS. BILLY AND CHCK VS. THE DUDLEYZ VS. THE HARDYZ
THIS WAS A MATCH I ENJOYED IT WAS A DECENT LENGTH. AND THE ELIMINATIONS WHERE VERY FAR APART SOT EHY SHOULD BE WE EVEN GOT TO SEE DVON GO THROUGH A TABLE BEIN PUSHED OF THE TOP ROPE THE ENDING WAS QUITE GOOD ALSO WITH JEFF KICKIN OUT OF A SHOT WIHT THE BELT AND THEN LOSING TO THEW FAMEASSER OR WAS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?

WWE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
HHH VS. JERICHO
ITS REALLY FUNNY THAT JERICHO IS MIN THE MAIN EVENT OF MNIA IN 2002 AND 2 YEARS LATER HE IS GOING TO BE IN A LADDER MATCH TONIGHT AGAINST CHRISTIAN AND IM SURE ITS GOIN TO BE A GREAT ONE YOUR PROPABLY SITTIN THERE IN THE FUTURE SAYING ITWAS GREAT BUT JERCIHO SHOULD BE IN THE WORLD TITLE PICTURE BEACUAE THEY PUT ON QUITE A GOOD MATCH HERE HHH GOT BACKDROPPED THROUGHT THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AND IT HINK THE CROWD WHERE A BIT TIRED AFTER THE HOGAN ROCK MATCH MAYBE THE BETTRE CHICE WOULD TO HAVE THIS EARLIER IN THE NIGHT LIKE MACHO V FLAIR AT MANIA ANYWAY HHH WINS THE BELT AFTER BEIN OUT OF ACTION FOR 8 MONTHS AND RETURNING
