Summary: Best WrestleMania to Date
Review: The time before WrestleMania X-Seven was a very prosperous time for WWF/E. Their three main superstars: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and The Rock and even Kurt Angle were in their prime, physically and in popularity. WWF/E dominated the wrestling business, as it did the past few years since the era of "Attitude" was ushered in. But the company's domination of the American wrestling industry was cemented as ECW had folded in January of that year and WCW, WWF's greatest competitor had been bought out by McMahon. WrestleMania X-Seven was a triumphant culmination of its splendor and the card reflected that, as this was the most balanced card ever for WrestleMania, or for that matter, a WWF/E pay-per-view. Top to bottom, this was the finest hour or four hours, to be correct, McMahon and company had. A rundown of the matches:1. WWF Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho (Champion) vs. William Regal. A solid opener with fairly good ring psychology but with a fairly cold crowd, as well. (3/5) 2. Right To Censor vs. APA & Tazz. Effective warm-up match with a reasonable duration of 5 minutes of a match of this calibre. (3/5) 3. WWF Hardcore Championship: Raven (Champion) vs. Big Show vs. Kane. Nicely paced match with your typical WWF-hardcore spots. (3/5) 4. WWF European Championship: Test (Champion) vs. Eddie Guerrero. One of the lowest points of the card. Eddie Guerrero is one of the best lucha technicians in the industry today, but Test, who is more of a Kevin Nash clone hasn't lived up to his potential because he basically doesn't have much potential. Not exactly a terrible bout, but it wasn't exactly a really good one either. (2.5/5) 5. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit. Greco-Roman style mat wrestling to start the match off, with entertaining exchanges between the two. The fight picks the pace up without losing its technical precision. (5/5) 6. WWF Women's Championship: Ivory (Champion) vs. Chyna. Basically a yawner, but like most women's matches, it's just a span of a few minutes. (2/5) 7. Father/Son Street Fight: Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon. Good buildup leading up to this match. For the most part, it's a match to satisfy storyline marks, especially after Shane's top-rope flying elbow drop through the Spanish announcing table bump. Shane O'Mac rips off Rob Van Dam, even before he arrived in the WWF, by nailing The Whole F'n Show's patented Van Terminator to finish off Vince. (4/5) 8. Tables, Ladders, Chairs II for the WWF Tag Team Championship: Dudley Boyz (Champions) vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian. A repeat of their Summerslam 2000 match with a few good twists, involving Spike Dudley, Lita, and Rhyno gaining some run-ins. Much like its precursor, lots of hardcore spots, with Edge's spear off a 20 foot ladder to a dangling Jeff Hardy onto the canvas, as the highlight bump of this match, in my book. Personally, I would've wanted to see either the Dudleyz or Hardyz win instead of Edge & Christian, but E & C's victory just cements their place as one of the best tag teams the company had, reminiscent of The Rockers (Shawn Michaels/Marty Janetty). (5/5) 9. Gimmick Battle Royal. Amusing and nostalgic match which added a humorous, charming touch to this edition of WrestleMania. There's a lot more pageantry in the entrances, which lasted for a little over ten minutes, compared to the match itself which clocked in about well, by my count, less than two minutes. Short and sweet, especially if you are a long-time wrestling fan. (4/5) 10. Triple H vs. Undertaker. Although the storyline hype wasn't as astronomical as the main event, this match was very well promoted. Taker is looking to be undefeated in WrestleManias while seeking revenge against the greatest heel of all time, Triple H, in his hometown of Houston, in the biggest spectacle in all of sports entertainment. Yadda yadda yadda... This was Taker's most inspired outing of 2001, with The Game's prime wrestling psychology carrying it. It had a certain street fight element which was beneficial for Taker's performance. It hasn't been said a lot but Trips was classy for jobbing to Taker. (5/5) 11. WWF Championship: The Rock (Champion) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hands down, the most anticipated championship rematch in the WWF's history. JR & The King did excellent work behind the mic to make this championship match that much more dramatic. The match itself wasn't of course, a technical mark's dream match, but nonetheless it was an exciting bloodbath with many near-falls. Much like the previous year, X7 breaks tradition by having a heel, or in this case a face turned heel, win the championship. (5/5) In short, WrestleMania X7 arguably goes down as the greatest WrestleMania or to push the ante, the greatest pay-per-view in the company's history. But on the downside, WWF/E had declined into rougher times after so much articulation and effort into this pay-per-view. In retrospect, this edition of WrestleMania was wrestling at its peak, with a rather bittersweet feel to it.

Summary: The Greatest Pay-Per-View of all time
Review: From a creative and entertainment standpoint, this show was probably the peak of the wrestling boom. Fans of all styles will be satiated. For fans of extreme high flying wrestlers, the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match ("TLC") between the Dudleys, Hardyz, and Edge and Christian is the best of its kind, and will have you questioning the sanity of all the participants. Many heartstopping moments and insane falls from high places. For fans of mat wrestling, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit put on a four-star clinic. If you like streetfights, the Vince McMahon/Shane McMahon bout was simply awesome, as Shane executes a move at the end I didn't think he had the balls to try. This much was much better than most people expected. Finally, the Main Event between "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock is truly something to behold. I would probably rank it as one of my top five favorite matches of all time. The crowd was into it, there were many "false finishes" and the ending is especially a "twist" given the previous three years of WWF storylines. All in all, this show probably has the greatest collection of matches you will find on a single pay-per-view event. Buy it now!

Summary: WM review
Review: This was the best Wrestlemania in years. Chris Jericho vs. William Regal - Awesome opener, **** (out of 5) RTC vs. APA/Tazz - Ok match, wasn't given that much time but awesome finish, *** Kane v. Raven v. Big Show - awesome hardcore contest, these three fought all the way around the arena - **** Test v. Eddie Guerrero - ok match, Eddie is one of my favorite wrestlers *** 1/2 Kurt Angle v. Chris Benoit - Benoit and Angle stole the show here, one of the most underated wrestlemania matches of all time ***** Chyna v. Ivory - total squash, pointless match * 1/2 Vince v. Shane - great match, great wrestlemania moment with Linda hitting Vince in the gonads ****1/2 TLC 2 - WOW! What a match, not as good as the first two tlc matches but still great ***** Gimmick Battle Royal - Goog nostalgia match, the real fun was in the participants entrances *** HHH v. The Undertaker - awesome street fight, bump of the night was Triple H's fall off that production set **** 1/2 Stone Cold v. The Rock - Unbeleivable match, tons of blood was spilled, great match, unpredictable screwjob - ***** Overall it was an awesome event, best wrestlemania ever a must have!

Summary: Very Good Wrestlemania
Review: This was a very good wrestlemania, but the only problem was austin turned heel. Some say that was cool, but others like me hated it. It started the what chant so now no one can talk. It had it other moments to though. If it was so good then why are they out of stock or can't they sell it because it has wwf in it. I need that answered quickly because I want to buy it.

Summary: XVII - Greatest Ever
Review: Not even a dud like the women's championship could bring this event down a full notch. WM XVII was the best of them all, capped by so many great performances. Angle-Benoit marked the first of their many awesome encounters. Vince-Shane was loaded with drama. TLC II was bumps-galore. I loved the gimmick battle royal, especially for the nostalgic feeling of the entrances. Taker-HHH was a nice surprise with an excellent story, one of my favorite matches of the night. And then there's Austin-Rock II: an incredible match with an infamous twist. Austin played his role perfectly as you could clearly see him gradually turning heel as the match progressed all the way to the climactic ending. Rock wrestled equally well, AND took SIXTEEN chairshots! I just watched Wrestlemania XIX and it was also very solid. I'd say it beats XIV for 4th best behind XVII, III, and X. Can't wait for WM XX next year in MSG, New York.

Summary: Can 2 bad matches bring it down from ***** Yes it can
Review: This by far was the greatest offering from the WWE (then WWF) in the last 5 years in my opinion with everyone doing their extra part, Bradshaw cut ... of a promo before his match but was to short from being anything great, Jericho and Regal was easily a ***1/2 match, the Euro title proves that eddie can carry pretty much anybody to a *** match, the TLC match was a ***** clasic as expected and the main event was awesome with the SIXTEEN chair shots to the rock, the Taker/HHH match was what I think Takers last great match in the WWE, Raven/Show and Kane went all out giving a great hardcore matchup with a hellava lot of action, Vince and shane was a awesome brawl with great buildup and Shane being Foley 2k2 is just cool to see, the Gimmick Battle Royale was very funny with Brain and Genes commentary in there, The angle/benoit match was one of the first in a line of many aesome matches. so I guess the PPV should get ***** right? Oh ya there is still the Chyna/Ivory "match" I don't think 1 minute squashes should be in a wrestlemania so that match brought it down a half star by itself and the 6 man tag brought it down another half star so I guess if they kept the right to censor out of 'Mania then it would of been a complete ***** spectatular, but they were so it's not

Summary: The best I've ever seen
Review: I've seen four WWE pay-per-views to date, and this is by far the best.
Match 1: Jericho vs. Regal (IC title) - This is by no means a bad match, and it's a very good opener
Match 2: APA & Tazz against RTC.- Nothing really exciting, but it ended before I got bored
Match 3: Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane (Hardcore title) - By far the best hardcore match I've seen since 2000 Match 4: Test vs. Eddie Guerrero (European title) - A fairly good exchange between the two, but not much to get you on your feet Match 5: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit- Being a huge Angle fan, I loved this match. Both competitors showed off their amateur skills for a while, and then they got in to some WWF style fighting. As always, they bring out the best in each other. Match 6: Ivory vs. Chyna (women's title) - Without a doubt the worst match of the night. I found no redeemable qualities of this match. Match 7: Shane McMahon vs. Mr. McMahon- This wasn't as much of a match as it was a brawl, but never the less it was some good action that told the story well. On a side note, it was wierd how they both used the same music. Match 8: Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz T.L.C. II) - No question as to whether this is the best match of the night. Nothing shows desire like crashing through tables from 20 feet up.
Second Disc (DVD version): Match 9: Gimmick Battle Royal- As a fan since 2000, I hadn't known any of these guys, and it really was funny to think that these guys actually wrestled at one point. The action is slow at best, and its humor dies fast Match 10:Triple H vs. Undertaker- Another great match. With the ref out for about half an hour(WTF) this turned into a street fight. Match 11:The Rock vs. Austin ( WWF title) - Not a bad match, but it wasn't what I thought it'd be. It is worth it's weight in gold for it's shock value, though.This is truly the WWF at its best.
This is one DVD that never fails to impress.
DVD Extras- There aren't as many as you'd think. Most of what is on as "extras" are in fact part of the show. The only real extas are the match from heat , the highlights video, and the next night on raw.

Review: I'll list matches and give them stars.
1st- Y2J VS William Regal (***) Well it was cool but kinda short, but still fun to watch!
2nd- APA & Tazz VS RTC (**) Talk about short! Bradshaw's clothesline was pretty cool.
3rd- Raven VS Kane VS Big Show (****) I like this match because it was so brutal and you could see Raven at his best. He got crashed through the window by Kane!!
4th- Test VS Eddie Guerrero (**) Average match, I don't know why they put it in the Wrestlemania... it should be on the RAW or SmackDown card.
5th- Kurt Angle VS Chris Benoit (****) I loved this match cause I think Benoit is the best technician. I love every Angle-Benoit match because it's so interesting.
6th- Ivory VS Chyna (*) DUD!!! Ivory was completely defensless and whole match lasted like 1 minute 24 seconds!
7th- Shane McMahon VS Vince McMahon (****) here's the match I really enjoyed and Shane kicked butt there! Nice low blow there, Linda!
8th- Dudley Boyz VS Hardy Boyz VS Edge & Christian (****) super match! You even got to see Jeff performing Swanton Bomb through 2 tables, Rhyno's gore to Matt Hardy, Spike Dudley's Dudley Dog to Christian, Lita and Spear from top of the ladder!!!!
9th- Gimmick Battle Royal (**) If you like oldies, you'll enjoy this!
10th- Triple H VS Undertaker (****) cool match and 'Taker got smashed to head with sledgehammer during the Last Ride!! Beautiful Chokeslam there, 'Taker!
11th- The Rock VS Stone Cold Steve Austin (*****) The best match on the card!! I would give it more stars, if it wasn't for that crummy ending! Brutal match and Rock & Austin were bleeding more than anybody else in the WWE!! Most brutal match I have ever seen!!
DVD EXTRAS:
Flashbacks & Extra Stuff
Flashbacks: (how the feuds started)- Y2J & William Regal, Ivory & Chyna, Shane & Vince, Triple H & Undertaker, Stone Cold & The Rock.
Extra Stuff:
1st- Chris Benoit interview (**) too short!
2nd- Grand Master Sexay & Steve Blackman VS X-Pac, Justin Credible & Albert (****) funny match, I liked Grand Master talking to Blackman backstage!
3rd- Superstars at Ft.Hood (**) sigh... another live appearance
4th- WWF AXXESS in Houston (***) Boring, except the part where Taker attacked HHH!!
5th- Bushwhackers interview with Lilian Garcia (*) too freakin gross!!
6th- Old-Timers Pick Gimmick Match Winner (*)- God, why didn't they cut the boring stuff?!?!?!
7th- Triple H/ Undertaker incident @ WWF AXXESS (***) Nice beating there!
8th- Wrestlemania X7 Highlights video (***)- Nice music with it, but don't watch it before watching the whole Wrestlemania!!!! It'll spoil everything!!
9th- Next night on RAW IS WAR (**) Could have been better! Why? It was too short. If it was the whole show, I would give it 5 stars!
Of course we can't forget new feature "Pick A Fight"! You can watch any fight you want and you don't have to wait when you're fast-forwarding to your favorite match! (Mine was Rock VS SCSA! SCSA is the best wrestler in the world!!)
Buy this DVD you won't regret it, I promise!!
