Rating: Summary: could we except more than that? Review: This wrestlemania was by far one of the poorest technicly ive ever seen the entire show was completly made by ironic match and a complete disaster called lesnar goldberg ,dont forget the very desapointing appearance of the undertaker with his dead man "bad ass look" whatever...who do u think we are Vince? we dont want this "ù^% anymore ,and u want to perform 12 ppv a year ? dont make me laugh... event the world title was bad compared to good old 90's time not even a match was worthy ,The rock did a good perf and he made his first appearance in 1 year... i dont want to say anything else but Bret Hart was right staying home... The show level was like the other of the year quite good and ...there is too many "fake wrestlers" take a look at the cruiserweight open match a real joke ...dragon sliding..nunzio 10 pounds and kidman a giant fighting little gremlins... Can we have back Austin or Bret or some other real wrestlers ... i miss you wrestlemania 10 or 12...
Rating: Summary: Worst Mania EVER!(...) Review: With Wrestlemania 20 being hyped for a year, you think WWE would go out of their way to give the fans the best event of all time. On the contrary, this PPV was just plain boring. The return of the "Dead Man" Vs. Kane: Nice new hat and Coat Taker. Where was the dead man we all were waiting to see? This match was a squash, niether wreslter looked good. *(...) Golberg Vs. Lesnar: I think this match was one of the best all night, not because of the wrestling, but the fans were so into letting these two have it. I would say it was the best crowd reaction since Hogan Vs. The Rock at WM18. *(...)1/2 Triple threat- HBK Vs. HHH Vs. Benoit: The only match that lived up to the hype. Great Wrestling, Great story told throughout the entire match. (...)priceless. *(...) There were a lot of other matches during the 5 hour event, none realy worth watching or recapping. Overall, p1$(...) poor PPV. Do not buy this Wrestlemania!(...)

Rating: Summary: The goods outweigh the bads in my opinion Review: Though some matches did not live up to the hype (Brock vs Goldberg, Kane vs Undertaker). I truly believe the good points outweighed the bad. We had two awesome title matches, the WWE Title Eddie (c) vs Angle, and the main event for the World Heavyweight Championship HHH (c) vs HBK vs Benoit. This night we would see Benoit finally getting his way past due title reign, Undertaker returning as the Deadman like everyone has been wanting for years. New stars rising like Orton and Cena. Also the entertaining handicap match with Evolution vs Rock N' Sock connection. The chemistry between Flair and the Rock alone in this match made me proud to be a wrestling fan. While I would give the event itself 3 1/2 stars out of five. I gave this five stars because the DVD is incredible. The packaging is extrodinary, including 3 discs total with over 4 hours of entertaining bonus features. Over 8 hours total, which is well worth the price. Even if you did not like the event, the bonus features alone make this disc worth buying and it belongs in every wrestling fans collection.
Rating: Summary: This is a review of the WM XX Extras Review: I have already reviewed the card in another entry. This one is on the extras. Disc 2 contains a match from Sunday Night Heat that aired the night of WrestleMania. It also has footage of the WWF Hall Of Fame ceremony as well as pre-match and post-match comments from John Cena, Christian, RVD, Booker T., Molly and others. Disc 3 is the one that makes this a keeper! WWE Films presents "The Mania Of WrestleMania." It is a look back at WrestleMania 19 narrated by none other than Jesse "The Body" Ventura! This mini documentary will both amaze and entertain but some of the details (particularly behind the Rock/Austin match) will shock you! Also, "The Ten Best WrestleMania Matches" special is on here too. It was narrated by "Nature Boy" Ric Flair! Also, WrestleMania trivia, photos and gallery are featured as well! The card itself isn't that great but the extras mentioned, particularly on disc 3, MORE THAN MADE UP FOR IT! Get this set just for those specials alone!
Rating: Summary: Hits in a big way, misses in a big way. Review: This event was hyped up so so so much that i don't thik it could have ever lived up to it. And it didn't. BUT, it gave us some spectacular matches, including a great triple threat and a hell of a WWE title match. UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Big Show (c) v. Jon Cena ***1/2 Great opening match. Cena just looks so so so excited to be there. Big Show preforms well in losing his title. WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP RVD/Booker T (c) v. The Dudley Boyz v. La Resistance v. Jindrak/Cade ** Again, tag team wrestling has gone to hell. I'd really like to see just two teams go at it for once. Enough of this stuff. Fast paced, but it puts me to sleep. Christian v. Chris Jericho **** Besides the title matches, this was by far the match of the night. Jericho was his usual brilliant self, but it was Christian who stole the show in this one. He's probobly the most underrated star in the WWE right now. He's moving up fast and earned a well-deserved mania victory. Not a dull moment with one hell of a twist in the end. Rock n Sock v. Evolution **** Another good match. Not the greatest in terms of wrestling, but by FAR the most purely entertaining match of the night. Rock and Flair are hysterical together. Foley is just oozing with class and puts over Orton. Orton does his part too. Very fun match. PLAYBOY EVENING GOWN MATCH Sable/Torrie v. Stacy/ Miss Jackie * Matt Hardy was left off of the card for this. Awful CRUSERWEIGHT OPEN **1/2 I'm not a big big fan of Cruserweights, but I was excited for this match and a little let down. I thought it was going to More of a battle royal type thing or at least the format they had with Chavo mixed in insted of at the end. Not bad though. Billy Kidman impresses big time. Brock Lesnar v. Bill Goldberg ** Stone Cold shouldn't have been involved in this to begin with. Brock announcing he was leaving and Goldberg almost def. leaving really put the crowd on edge. They really rode both of these guys bigtime. The match was just bad all the way down. Circumstance and poor booking killed this match. Biggest dissapointment of the night by a long shot. WWE Tag Team Titles Scotty/ Rikishi(c) v. APA v. The Bashams v. TWGTT ** TWGTT really put on a cool show here. Again nothing to get excited about though. Typical tag team bore fest. WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP Molly Holly v. Victoria(c) **1/2 I'm not the greatest fan of women's wrestling, but lemme tell ya, these girls can put together a hell of a match. For women this was outstanding. The hair stipulation also added to it. I enjoyed it. WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Eddie Guererro(c) v. Kurt Angle ***** Thrilling match. Technical materpeice. Great Ending. I knew this would be good going in, but this match really blew me away. Loved every second of it. The Undertaker v. Kane *** Super hyped match. A great return for the dead man, it's just this match was SO predictable. The two worked a little slow, but for entertainment value alone, I'll give this an extra star. WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Triple H(c) v. Shawn Michaels v. Chris Benoit ***** Off the charts. Second best mania main event I have ever seen besides the Rock and SCSA at WM17... Still, a phenominal match with an AMAZING spot on the table, good use of the outside area... what impressed me is that we didn't see any weapons used. They put together such and incredibly entertaining match and the ending is appropriate. Benoit was way way way overdue for the moment, but then again, that's what made it so special. Best ending to a wrestlemania ever.
Rating: Summary: Best WM Ever Review: WMXX was the most hyped Wrestlemania event in years, and it lived up to all the expectation. The DVD is great, featuring the best documentary I've ever seen, "The Mania of Wrestlemania", and the "Wrestlemania's 10 Greatest Matches" hosted by Ric Flair. On to the event itself: 1. John Cena vs. Big Show (c) for the U.S. Title Great way to kick of Wrestlemania. Cena, who had been a worthy title-holder for quite some time, finally gets his chance here. Big Show gets in most of the offense, and Cena finally defeats Big Show after hitting 2 FU's (with the help of some brass knucks). 7.5/10 2. RVD/Booker T(c) vs. La Resistance vs. The Dudleys vs. Garrison Cade/Mark Jindrak for the World Tag Titles Pretty good tag match, despite the fact that RVD and Booker T were a very unusual team to be tag champs. It was fast-paced except for when Rob Conway was in and kept doing boring submission manuevers. Finish sees RVD pinning Conway via the 5-Star Frog Splash. 7/10 3. Chris Jericho vs. Christian This match nearly rivaled Michaels vs. Jericho from the previous Wrestlemania. There was never a dull moment in this match, and Christian really showed how talented he is. Both men went all out, and the ending was very unexpected, as Christian rolls up Jericho following interference by Trish. 9/10 4. Rock n' Sock vs. Evolution This was a really good tag match. Evolution, which is a great stable, put on their best match yet against The Rock and Mick Foley. It was great to see Rock and Foley in action again. Flair was entertaining as usual and Orton really became a major star after this one. The finish saw Orton delivering an RKO out of nowhere on Mick Foley. 8.5/10 5. Evening Gown Match- Jackie and Stacy vs. Sable and Trish Not a very good match, used strictly to please the male fans. I'm a male fan and I didn't really care for this one too much. Worst match of the evening. 3/10 6. Cruiserweight Open This was a sweet cruiserweight match, where all of the CWs got to display their talents on the grand stage. Billy Kidman hit a sick shooting star press on the outside, and Rey Mysterio was flying all over the place as usual. Finish sees Chavo Sr. helping Chavo get the pin on Mysterio. 8.5/10 7. Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar with Stone Cold as referee It was disappointing, but not completely horrible. I expected much better out of Lesnar. He goes from beating Kurt Angle in an amazing technical match to this. A very unnecessary slow start, but once they got going there were some pretty cool moments. Goldberg wins with a jackhammer, and he and Lesnar both receive stunners. 6/10 8. Scotty and Riskisi (c) vs. Bashams vs. TWGTT vs. The APA Not quite as good as RAW's tag match, but still a good match. TWGTT put on the best performance in this match. In the end, Rikishi crushed Doug Basham for the pin after a Clothesline from Hell from Bradshaw. 7/10 9. Molly Holly vs. Victoria (c) I'm not a big fan of women's wrestling at all, and this match really was no exception. Lackluster match with a rollup finish, and Molly getting her head shaved afterwards really wasn't all that great either. 5/10 10. Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero (c) for WWE Title I expected a good match, but I was shocked by this one. This match was AWESOME. Kurt wrestled a flawless match, and I was very impressed with Guerrero's use of technical moves. I was so impressed with Angle though that I was hoping he would win the match. In the end, Guerrero unties his boot, and it slips off as Angle goes for the ankle lock. Guerrero then uses a small package for the win. 10/10 11. Undertaker vs. Kane The most hyped match of the night. Unlike a lot of people, I thought Taker's return was better than expected. I got the chills when he came out. Most people say Kane got no offense in, but they must have not been paying attention to the match. Kane got in as much, if not MORE offense in than Taker, it just had little effect. Taker finishes him off with the Tombstone. 10/10...for the best return in WWE history. 12. Triple H (c) vs. Chris Benoit vs. HBK- World Heavyweight Championship Chris Benoit has been my favorite wrestler since I started watching wrestling. And now here he was, he had made it into the main event at Wrestlemania. 3 of the best of all time in the ring at the same time. This was truly a dream match. Every man gave it everything they had, and put on the most spectacular match I've ever seen. The finish came as the mighty Triple H tapped out to the crossface. Afterwards, Guerrero came out and congratulated Benoit, and the two men hugged. I admit it, that made me cry. 10/10
Rating: Summary: Simply a DVD great to own. Review: What a great DVD to own, bought it the first day it came out evntough I saw live when first aired. The packaging starting from the front cover and the inside folding backround is awesome. From watching wrestling for so many years, the intensity of this event at Madison Square Garden was spectactular, the crowd was just unbelivable. I enjoyed mostly every match, with an exeption of a few. The Crusierweight tournament was completly rushed, not very entertaining. The evening gown match was just to treat the men, pure entertainment nothing else. Although I felt it got critisized too much, Goldberg Vs. Lesnar was still a little dissapointing, both men did not show there best stuff, the crowd let them know too, since it was indeed the last match for both men for the company at unless otherwise.. The long stare down at first was not very fun to sit through. If you watch this match, you may like the crowd reaction more so than the actual wrestling. The ending was wierd, as Stone Cold shows he is a man. The ending to the Christian Vs. Jericho match was funny. Angle Vs. Guerrero was anice solid match, what wrestlemania should be all about. The main event was a classic, great way to close out the show. The extra are great, which include Pre and Post match Wrestler Comments. Many interesting notes from the previuos Wrestlemania'a, Ten Greatest matches, sevral sets of trivia questions, delted scenes, some hidden easter eggs, A phot gallery from all 19 prior Wrestlemani'a with results. Just a great 3-disc. WWE did a great job with everyting regarding Wrestlemania XX.
