Rating: Summary: WWE Wresltemania XIX Review: OMG!!! One of the best ever!Cruiserweight Championship- Matt Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio Pretty good match considering Matt's gimmick change. Bad ending but overall good hearty cruiserweight action! 6.5 /10 Handicap Match- Undertaker vs. A-Train & Big Show Awesome match with a great effort by Big Evil. Nathan Jones interferes (to help Undertaker) with a huge Tae Kwon Do Spinning Back Kick and knocks A-Train to Chinatown! 7.5 /10 Women's Championship Triple Threat Match- Victoia w/ Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz Typical Women's Match, short but sweet, okay action and a few good spingboard moves. Not the best on the card...3/10 Triple Threat WWE Tag Team Championships- Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. Los Guerreros vs. Rhyno & Benoit Awesome technical match with a good mixture of power, luchador (high-flying) and submission moves. Great Tag Match 8/10 Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho Spectacular Match!!! Awe inspiring moves by both men. The right man wins in this match...Jericho...just kidding, this match belongs to Michaels 9/10 World Heavyweight Championship Match- Triple H vs. Booker T Both competitors pulled out every trick in thier bag including an Indian Death Lock (a gruesome leg binding submission move) by Triple H, and a Huston Hang Over (a rare 1 and a half rotation flip with a leg drop at the end) by Booker T. Triple H retains. 8/10 Street Fight- Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon A bloody warfare with many chair shots and bone shattering manuevers on the outside. A massive "slobber knocker" with a huge leg drop onto the comentary table (delivered by Vince off a 12 ft. ladder onto Hogan). 6/10 Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock A surprisingly boring match with a Stunner here, and a Rock Bottom there but not nearly as good as there Wrestlemania X-7 match. Rock wins and settles the score between the two of them. 4.5/10 WWE Championship Match- Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle 1 word describes this match...WOW!!! A tremendous effort by Lesnar & Angle. After two F-5's and a Shooting Star Press that almost ends Lesnar's career as we know it, Kurt Angle loses his title to the 295 lb. "manster". 10/10 AMAZING!
Rating: Summary: A Solid Event, But... Review: Wrestlemania XIX was a solid ppv, but as a Wrestlemania it was sub par. Wrestlemania has to have something that distinguishes itself from all other ppvs and while Wrestlemania XIX didn't have a bad match on the card there was nothing really spectacular about them either. Matt Hardy w/Shannon Moore vs. Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight Championship-A solid opener and kudos to the WWE for not going with the obvious outcome. However,as much as I like Matt Hardy this match seemed to just delay the inevitable outcome of Rey beating Matt and allowed them to drag out their feud for the next few months. Rey winning at Wrestlemania would have made this a better match, but whatever. A solid match in itself I give it 7 out of 10 stars. Undertaker vs. The Big Show and A-Train-This was originaly supposed to be a tag team match with Nathan Jones, but mercifully he was set up by the FBI(E-C-Dub,well sort of) and taken out by the Big Show and A-Train. Being that his is Wrestlemania the Undertaker puts on another solid match. Nothing Special, but still a very good match. I give this one 7 out of 10 as well. Victoria w/Steven Richards vs Trish Stratus vs.Jazz for the Women's Championship-I'm not a big fan of women's wrestling matches. They're entertaining, but as a wrestling fan I sometimes cringe as to how much time they are given. With that said this was at least entertaining. Trish is a decent wrestler and Victoria isn't bad either. I've never been a big Jazz fan, but that's a different story. Good to see Steven Richards on Wrestlemania. Overall, 5 out of 10. Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros vs. Chris Benoit and Rhyno in a Triple Threat for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Los Guerreros rule. Team Angle(now The World's Greatest Tag Team) rule and Benoit and Rhyno rule. Benoit, Rhyno, and Eddie Guerrero make their return to Wrestlemania(all three last appeared at Wrestlemania X7) and Chavo Guerrero and Team Angle make their Wrestlemania debut. This was a great tag team match. Good to see one of the programs still putting on good tag team matches(I miss the days of Edge/Christian,the Hardyz,and the Dudleyz). The match was fast paced and it's good to see the "rookies" come away with the belts. I give it an 8 out of 10. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho-People aren't exagerating when they say this was the match of the night. Shawn Michaels might not be what he used to be, but he's still better than a lot of the wrestlers out there and Chris jericho is really is good as he says he is. Doubt me? Check out some of his older matches to see what he can really do. I'm not talking about WCW matches either i'm talking about Benoit/Jericho in Japan circa 1995. Anyways, a good feud that started right after Armageddon in December and continued on through the Royal Rumble and No Way Out. Shawn Michaels showed that he could still "hang with the younger guys" and that the Showstopper lived. I give it a 10 out of 10. Booker T vs. Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship-Finally,the Five Time WCW Champion gets a shot at a belt he should have already won at least once. Both wrestlers pulled out all stops in a feud that seemed to come together too quickly. It is only the ending that keeps this match from being a 10 star match. As it is it's 8 out of 10. Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon the Street Fight 20 Years in the Making-Hogan's done a lot to make wrestling mainstream. However,he's not know for having technically sound matches. But this is Vince McMahon and all wrestling skills do not apply. This is a very entertaining match from top to bottom and it does have that only-at-Wrestlemania mystique. Vince pulled out all stops including a leg drop off a ladder onto Hogan who was laying on the spanish announce table and bringing back Rowdy Roddy Piper. However,none of it mattered as Hogan still came out on top. Like I said don't watch this match for the wrestling watch it for the entertainment value. 8 out of 10. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock Part 3-The Rock is the man. Love him or hate him The Rock is one of the few guys who can go away from wrestling and still come back at the top of his game better than he was before he left. The Rock and Austin always put on good matches at Wrestlemania and with this being the "Final Chapter" of their feud i'd expect no less. While this is not as good as their previous encounter at Wrestlemania X7 it is still an awesome match. Finally, The Rock gets what he should have gotten at Wrestlemania X7 and that's a victory over Austin. 8 out of 10. Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship-Like Angle/Benoit this is a purist's dream and a match that the WWE has been building up to since Lesnar came to the WWE. Unfortunately,Angle suffered a nearly career ending neck injury shortly before the ppv which seemingly put the match in jeopardy. During the match however their were no signs of injury by Angle as he and Lesnar put on one hell of a wrestling clinic. On any other ppv this would have been the match of the night, but this is Wrestlemania and for some reason, at least to me, this match lacked something. Maybe knowing that Angle would be leaving right afterwards to have surgery took something away from the outcome or perhaps it was the botched shooting star press by Lesnar, a move that would have distinguished the match. Overall,though a high impact wrestling match that was technically sound. 8 out of 10. Like I said Wrestlemania XIX is a good ppv, but as a Wrestlemania it lacks something. The dvd itself is awesome with lots of extras including Goldberg's debut the following night on RAW and lots of promotional spots and Wrestlemania flashbacks. If you're a WWE fan you should buy the dvd anyways, so go ahead and do it.
Rating: Summary: What a PPV! Review: Wow! Where Royal Rumble and No Way Out fell short, Wrestlemania 19 comes through in a pinch to give us what may be the greatest show of the year. I'd put it up there as one of the best Wrestlemanias ever. And although the DVD was expensive, it turned out to be worth every penny. No settling for VHS this time--this PPV meant more to me. It's at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington with 54,097 people in attendance--not that high compared to previous classic 'Manias, and the crowd just doesn't make enough noise, so it's up to you to get excited. First came a cruiserweight title match between Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio. It was a very good contest worthy of opening the show, but surprisingly short. Matt, using various tactics, managed to retain his belt this time. Then Limp Bizkit (why them in particular?) came out to perform "Rollin'", the old theme music of Undertaker. Sure enough, out came the Deadman on his motorcycle to take on Big Show and A-Train in a handicap match. I don't know why people are bashing this one; I really enjoyed it. Nathan Jones, Undertaker's previously injured partner, came out to settle the score at the end. Tombstone piledriver was great. After that we were treated to a triple-threat women's match, undoubtably the best wrestling match involving women I've ever seen in my life. However, the ridiculous pillow fight that would occur later involving Stacy Kiebler, Torrie Wilson, and the insipid Miller Lite Catfight Girls proved that all hope was lost. No matter. Another good match was the triple tag team bout for the tag titles, in which Team Angle somehow retained their prizes against Los Guerreros and Rhyno + Chris Benoit. Then came the later half of the show, and by far the best. Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho put on a wonderful match, only with Jericho still being an ass at the end. Too bad. Then there's Booker T challenging Triple H for that G.D. heavyweight title. Have Trips lose it already! He's had the belt long enough since Eric Bischoff gave it to him for some reason. A great match, and the ending is all too familiar, as you've probably heard by now. If I had to pick the best match of the night, though, it would be Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon in the street fight. Sure the entire story it's built on is ridiculous if you know anything at all about Hogan and Vince's relationship, but this was incredible. One reason not to let anyone under 10 watch this PPV: Vince's horrible, bloody face peering up over the ring apron from outside as he gets a pipe may seriously give them nightmares. McMahon also legdrops Hogan through the announce table, probably the best bump in the show. Roddy Piper interferes to take Hogan out. And still, Hulkamania runs wild! Incredible! The Rock and Steve Austin are next. It's probably not as thrilling as WM X-7, but still one hell of a confrontation, with Rock achieving his last dream with a pinfall over his rival at Wrestlemania! Any of the past 4 matches could have easily main-evented a regular PPV, but the grand stage is given to Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar: truly a great technical contest with outstanding moves all through. I don't know how Angle did it with his injury, or how Brock executed a Shooting Star Press. But somehow, it happens, my friends. Don't hesitate; buy this memorable PPV and enjoy it for yourself! Best PPV I ever watched!!

Rey Mysterio This was a great cruiserweight match unlike the one at No Way Out. I didn't like the ending but the match itself was awesome! 9/10 stars Undertaker def. Big Show & A-train This was much better than the match at No Way Out by far. It had a great ending with some boring parts in it. It also had Nathan Jones come back and did a huge heel kick on Big Show! 7.5/10 stars Women's Championship: Trish Stratus def. (c) Victoria & Jazz This was a good women's title match and it was funny when Stevan hit himself with a chair! It was much better than last years Wrestlemania's Women's Title match. For a womens match, 9/10 stars Tag Team Champions Team Angle def.Los Gurreros & Chris Beniot & Rhyno A great tag team match especialy because its a triple threat match. It was a little short but it had a lot of action! The ending was weird when Shelton snuck the pin on Chavo after Rhyno gored Chavo and was pulled out of the ring by Eddie. I'll give it 9/10 stars Shawn Micheals def. Chris Jericho This was one of the best matches of Wrestlemania ever! A long, technical, and some highflying action by both men. It also had a great ending! 10/10 stars World Heavyweight Champion Triple H def. Booker T. A good match but not too much offense by Booker T. It had a suprising ending and if you are a Triple H fan, ''which I am not'' this would be a great match 7/10 Street Fight: Hulk Hogan def. Vince McMahon This was a awesome street fight! Both men were a bloddy mess. Agreat performance by both men! Some parts were slow so I'll give it 9/10 stars Steve Austin def. The Rock WOW! Just about as good as their match at W.M. 17!This was my second favorite match of the night! Great match by both men with a lot of action! Their fued was bigger than ever! 10/10 stars WWE Championship: Brock Lesnar def.(c)Kurt Angle Another great match! Great moves by both men especialy when Brock hit an amazing Shooting Star Press! This match had the best ending of the night 10/10 stars! This is one of the best Wrestlemanias ever! It got 71.5/90 stars GREAT,GREAT ppv!
Rating: Summary: An Okay Wrestlemania Review: This show was definitely better than what I expected. If you look at all the other ppvs so far this year, Wrestlemania 19 is by far the best. But in comparison to other ppvs in recent years, it falls short. This is arguably the greatest ppv of the year, but not the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. I loved the main event with Angle and Lesnar because it was nice to see guys in that slot other than Austin, Rock, Undertaker or Triple H who always seem to be there. And credit to McMahon and Hogan for putting on an awesome street fight although I think those guys should have retired long ago. On the flip side, Matt Hardy and Rey Rey only given 5 minutes for their match? Oh well. Watch this Wrestlemania for its overall quality.
Rating: Summary: One of the greatest Wrestlemania's! Review: Here's my review, match by match... Matt Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio - Entertaining opener, high-flying action from two great superstars. (4/5) Taker vs. Show & A-Train - The crowd was firmly behind the Dead Man as usual, but his two opponents lost a little credibility by being man-handled so much. (3/5) WWE Tag Title Match - All six men done a great job. Good finish too - (4/5) Womens Title Match - OK match, but nothing of real interest. (2/5) HBK vs. Y2J - Match of the night! Michaels can still do what he does best and Jericho is a bright younger star. (5/5) HHH vs. Booker T - A little boring at first, but good when it got going. Booker should have won though. (4/5) Hogan vs. McMahon - Second best match of the night. Crowd was red hot for this one. (5/5) Rock vs. Stone Cold - Maybe not as good as their previous two efforts, but a great match none-the-less. Thank God Rock finally got the win! (4/5) Lesnar vs. Angle - Well wrestled match, but Hogan-McMahon felt more like the main event. (4/5)
Rating: Summary: Best Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania 10! Review: Each match is reviewed and rated out of 10: Mysterio vs. M Hardy: Entertaining match, nice high-flying moves from two good competitors, but the match was much too short. 7/10. Undertaker vs. A-Train & Big Show: Disappointing. Undertaker never fails to impress, but with Nathan Jones left out and the ever-moribund pair of the A-Train and Big Show, this match should have been left to Smackdown. 5/10. Trish vs. Jazz vs. Victoria: Solid match, perhaps a little hampered by the outcome. 6/10. Team Angle vs. Guerreros vs. Rhyno & Benoit. Solid match, perhaps a little short, and Benoit should have had a better match against a better opponent, but nonetheless quite good. 7/10. HBK vs. Jericho: Great match by two brilliant performers. Both gave it their all and it was a match worth remembering. 9/10. Triple H vs. Booker T: Good match - Triple H never fails to turn it on, and Booker T excelled. It was a shame that the outcome was so familiar. 8/10. Hogan vs. Vince McMahon: Slobberknocker! Extremely entertaining match, Vince was hilarious, and the Hulk did well. Will be remembered for Vince's maniacal, bloody face peering above the canvas! 10/10. Rock vs. Stone Cold: Classic match, with the two wrestling like they were never away. It didn't have the same 'feel' to their prior matches, but as a match itself, was excellent. 9/10. Angle vs. Brock: Brilliant match. A perfect main-event, neither let themselves down in what will be remembered as a classic match. 10/10. Overall, one of the best Wrestlemanias there has been, and I would judge that it was the best since Wrestlemania 10 back in 1994. Hopefully, next years Wrestlemania (number 20) will be better!
Rating: Summary: Greatest Wrestlemania of all time Review: I was at Wrestlemania 19, live in Seattle. I had really good seats. We were on the field but we could only see the guys come down the ramp well. I will review an rate every match out of 10. Sunday Night Heat Match- World tag team championship: Chief Morley and Lance Storm vs. Kane and Rob Van Dam. This was surprisingly a great match. Each men went out of there way to make it a great match. 8/10 WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Matt Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio A great opener it was to short. That was the only problem if it was longer I would give it a 10. 7/10 Undertaker vs. Big Show and A-Train I thought this would [be bad]. but it didn't. Every man did great. Good match. 8/10 WWE Womens Championship Triple Threat: Trish Stratus vs. Jazz vs. Victoria. This has to be the best womens match to date. It was great. I'm glad Trish won. shes so hot7/10 WWE Tag Team Championship Triple Threat: Team Angle vs. Los Guerrero's vs. Rhyno and Chris Benoit. I was a little dissapointted with this. I mean it was great but it was only 8 minutes long. It should have been like 15 to 20 minutes. 9/10 Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho Two Words. SHOW STEALER!!!!!!!! This was the best match on the card. I watch this match so many times. I hope it is the match of the year. 1000000/10 World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H. vs. Booker T. . I loved the houston hang over. This match was good just mad Booker T. lost. 8/10 Street Fight: Hulk Hogan vs. VInce Mcmahon. This was Fantastic. Hogan topped his performance from last years Wrestlemania. Vince was good too and a return that you gotta see. 100000/10 The Rock vs. Stone Cold This was a great match. Even though this is the only one that I have seen in their series. oh well 10/10 WWE Championship: Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar This was surprisingly awesome. I thought this would be a snoozer because Lesnar is not that athletic, and Kurt had a Broken Neck. Both men were great and remember when I said Lesnar is not that athletic. Well just watch this match because he does something insane. 100/10 overral it was the greatest it was the best wrestlemania and ppv to date. OVerall Score 10/10
