Summary: One of the worst
Review: I don't know what others think, but in my opinion the WWE has been going downhill for many years. I mean the amount of build up for the matches at Wrestlemania XX was slowly diminished as the matches began. c'mon, lesnar and goldberg was pathetic and kane and undertaker was a joke. Barely any of the matches lived up to expectations. How in the hell is Eddy Guerrero still champion. There is no way that eddy guerrero or benoit can carry the company like austin or hogan did in the past. Wrestlemania was once an event where legends like Bret Hart, Hogan, Macho Man performed in classics that are remembered to this day. Unless you truly enjoyed the event, it would be better to just rent the dvd. Hopefully vince will one day release the previous wrestlemanias on dvd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It all begins.....again
Review: This was the best ppv of all time and in my opinion the greatest wrestlemania ever it had every ingredient that a wrestlemania needs!

U.S. Championship
Big Show(c) vs John Cena
great opener and probably the best match in both of these guys careers 8.5/10

World Tag Team Championships
Booker T & RVD(c) vs Jindrak & Cade vs La Resistance vs Dudley Boyz
solid action from Booker T & RVD and Dudleys is what kept this one from being a dud better than the smackdown tag match though

7/10

Chris Jericho vs Christian
excellent match i knew what would happen but the ending was still SHOCKING however i give it 9/10

Rock 'N' Sock Connection vs Evolution
foley and ortons feud and the return of the rock is what made this match a classic 9.5/10

Evening Gown Match
Sable & Torrie vs Stacy & Miss Jackie
WOW!!!!!! these women are so hot i think we were all winners in this match 100/10

Cruiserweight Open
solid and high flying action from all the cruiserweights made this match pretty good but the ending kind of put it down still it gets 7/10

Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar guest ref Stone Cold Steve Austin
the madison square garden crowd is what killed this match so much hype and the crowd starts booing both of them austin still kept it going pretty well though 7/10

WWE Tag Team Championships
Rikishi & Scotty Too Hotty(c) vs Basham Brothers vs SPWGTT vs APA
if there was a worst match of the night this would probably be it still rikishi puttin the stink face on them was hilarious
6.5/10

Womens Championship
Victoria(c) vs Molly
Hilarious match with a hilarious ending 8/10

WWE Championship
Eddie Guerrero(c) vs Kurt Angle
great match with great performance from both competitors the crowd was really into eddie and the ending was very clever 9/10

Undertaker vs Kane
Taker finally returns and with revenge on his mind this was a tie for match of the night the look on kanes face and undertakers entrance makes this match unforgettable 10/10

World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H(c) vs Shawn Micheals vs Chris Benoit
other tie for match of the night all three men were amazing there was so much blood and violence in the match and it will probably be rembered as one of the greatest mania matches ever!!!!!! 10/10

Overall an amazing ppv i recommend this to anybody and i will definitely buy it when it comes out!!!!!

Summary: The Worst Wrestlemania of All Time
Review: I can't believe that J.r. and all of the other announcers and wrestlers of both RAW and Smackdown were calling this the greatest Wrestlemania of all time. Wrestlemania X8 was better than this one. Although the buildup and the hype was there and there was a reason for almost every match (excluding the 2 Fatal 4 Way Tag Matches) the matches didn't pull through. All of the matches that should've been some of the greatest matches of all time (Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar, Undertaker vs. Kane) lasted for about 5 minutes. It made me feel like I was watching Smackdown or RAW and paying $50 to see it live. Anyways here is a list of all the matches and my rating for them:

John Cena vs. Big Show (U.S. Title): 2/5 a very mediocre match. The only good thing is that Cena won

RVD and Booker T vs. The Dudley's vs. Cade and Jindrak vs. La Resistance: 1/5 Boring!!! Can someone please tell me why Cade and Jindrak are on the card at WRESTLEMANIA!!!

Jericho vs. Christian: 4/5 a pretty good match with lots of buildup and emotion going into it the ending is extremely surprising too

Cruiserweight Open: 3/5 it would've been better if it was longer than 5 minutes

Rock and Foley vs. Evolution: 2/5 probably The Rock and Foley's worst Wrestlemania match. This is another match that could have been 10 times better if they would have actually taken the time to slow it down and make it last more than 5 minutes

Lesnar vs. Goldberg: 1/5 the most disapointing match I've ever seen. Austin didn't even get involved. Probably the most half-assed match I've ever seen.

Playboy Evening Gown Match: 1/5 match [stinked] but the (...), that was the only good part

Victoria vs. Molly Holly: 1/5 no comment

Too Cool vs. APA vs. The Bashams vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team: 1/5 slightly better than the Raw match not much though

Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle: 2/5 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY EDDIE GUERRERO IS THE WWE CHAMPION!!!

Undertaker vs. Kane: 3/5 only cool part was Taker's entrance, other than that it was just another average match. Another 5 minuter.

HHH vs. Chris Beniot vs. HBK: 4/5 The best match of the night but an extremely mediocre main event for Wrestlemania. Triple Threat Matches never seem to work the way they should. The mathc would have been better if it was just Micheals and HHH. It also would have been better if Beniot wouldn't have (...).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Did not live up to the hype!!!
Review: Everyone was chanting and raving about the biggest event Wrestlemania 20. I wanted to see it so bad. i paid 20 bucks to pitch in watching it at mai friends house. This was a good ppv for an average ppv like summerslam, unforgiven, etc. but not for wrestlemania, untop of that WMXX. Big mistake, this was the worst direction the WWE went.

Here are some notes on some matches!

HHH vs. Benoit vs. HBK - awesome match, no negative

Guerrero vs. angle- decent, except the ending was bad

Undertaker vs. kane- taker was a big dissapointment

Brock vs. Goldberg -too short, with more talk then ever, boring

Jericho vs. Christian- good match, liked it allot

rock and foley vs. evolution - if only rock and foley teamed up with hogan it would've been allot better

torrie and sable vs. stacy and jackie -t & a, thats about it

molly vs. victoria - good women's match

the fatal four way tag team matches were a joke and so was the cruiserweight open (should of been a battle royal)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Once again the WWE hit and miss at Mania
Review: Im a huge mania fan I own all of the videos/DVDs, and after a few bad recent manias(anything after X7) I really thought this one would live up to the hype, I was wrong. On paper quite a few of the matches looked really good, but really the only one out of the 13 that lived up to that was the Triple Threat Match Feat. Benoit, HBK and HHH. All the other talent put on a pretty average show. The best part of the show for me was Lesnar and Goldberg stinking up MSG. I knew Goldberg didn't care much for the sport but I didnt see Lesnar Leaving so soon. Also another downer was the huge return of the Deadman The Undertaker, oh no wait hes just died his hair black and looks exactly the same as he did 6 months ago. For me after watching this I felt like I just wasted 5 hours

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Wrestlemania Gone Bad And Boring
Review: Wrestlemania used to be packed with stars like Vanna White, Mike Tyson and Liberace. There used to be grand entrances for the wrestlers as if they were kings. The best wrestlers on earth used to be there and every match was terrific, worthy of being a main event on any card anywhere. I bought the PPV because I have never missed a Wrestlemania, but boy way I disappointed. The only "star" from outside of wrestling was Donald Trump, who was interviewed for about a minute or so. He didn't say anything interesting. He was just sitting there in the audience. There was no rock band this time. The wrestlers did not come out in full force with their royal following, like I used to love. I found myself not caring about the wrestlers that were there, despite watching the weekly TV shows. I wanted to see Hulk Hogan and Brett Hart. I wanted big names in huge matches with serious consequences. I wanted retirement matches, steel cage matches, table matches, hardcore matches. One girl got her head shaved when she lost, but none of the men seemed to have anything on the line in this PPV and it showed. We did not see their best efforts. Most of the wrestlers used the same exact moves and holds as all the others. I found myself not caring how most matches ended. What a departure this was from previous years, when I had the family gathered around me and we cheered and booed and thought our lives depended on the outcomes of the matches. We used to feel a part of Wrestlemania. When I saw a match, I felt like I was wrestling for the championship. This time I just felt like I was wasting $49.95 plus tax on a PPV that never delivered on anything. So the Undertaker returned....so what? He didn't really DO anything when he returned. I am from El Paso and am an eddie Guerrerro fan, but even his match never came close to delivering on the hype. Personally, I think that ever since the wrestlers were divided to go to either Smackdown or RAW, things went downhill very fast. I miss the idea that any wrestler can take on any wrestler any time. That unpredictability was fun. Treating it as two different "brands" of entertainment really sucks. Right after Wrestlemania XX ended, I told my girlfriend that I just may have to retire from watching the WWE. It just isn't very good anymore. The people at the top don't seem to care. They make so much money every time they hype a Pay Per View that, I guess, they have no incentive to put on a decent show. Give me an iron-man match, followed by a retirement match, followed by a cage match, hardcore match, superstar celebrities, a surprise musical appearance by KISS, remember to show real people having fun and make gigantic matches that people will care about, then wow us with surprise matches featuring great wrestlers of the past that we long to see again. None of this happened at Wrestlemania XX. It was lame, brain-dead, and, despite the fact that I paid $49.95 for the PPV, I started wondering what else might be on TV.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Event but not Perfect
Review: I loved this event but the reason I did NOT give it 5 Stars was because of the Goldberg and LEsnar match. Austin was the star of the match and he wasn't even wrestling. They have a stare down for close to 5 minutes. Through the match you hear crowd chants of "Boring", "this match sucks", and "You Sold Out". The one match I was actually looking forward to the most was a waste of space.

Now every match was good but some were better than others. Matches of the night in my opinion are Eddie and Kurt, Main event Triple Threat Match, and Chris Jericho and Christian.

Cruiserweight open was good but too short. WAtch as ultiomo Dragon enters the ring he slips and it's very noticeable. He slips when he gets into the ring as well. Kidman almost broke his neck with his shooting star press.

Kane and undertaker was a 7 minute match. It was really based on Undertaker's return not the match itself. If you want to see these guys really go at it in a hard fought battle then check out Wrestlemania 14.

So check this out the dvd itself will be 3 discs. First two disc will have the matches, HAll of FAme footage,interviews,HEAt and the 3rd disc will have 10 greatest Wrestlemania matches and Mania of Wrestlemania documentary. GEt this dvd when it comes out. It is still a great WRestlemania.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You people are nuts
Review: First off, if you're going to bother to review things on here, make them coherent.

This was by far the best mania in the last decade top to bottom (with the possible exception of 17). Regardless of the fact that there weren't any 'big-name' acts performing (anyone cared about limp biscut or motorhead in the last 3 years...didn't think so), the production was quite nice, and the matches were a nice balance. Of course Brock and Goldberg sucked, but anyone who follows wrestling seriously knew that would happen. Eddy and Kurt was a wonderful display, with the correct person going over. Raw's main event was HHH's best match involving someone other than just Michaels since his match with Flair on Raw almost a year ago. The cruiser weights getting little time was dissapointing, but it makes sense given the long world title matches. Taker's new outfit was kinda lame, but seeing Paulbearer again was great. Overall, it's insane to give this event less than 4 stars, and it shows how far WWE has come since the debacle that was most of 2002-2003.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WM XX Where it All Begins For Chris Benoit & Eddie Guerrero!
Review: Wrestlemania XX Where it all Begins Again the most hyped and look forward to wrestlemania of all time does it live up to the hype build up being the 20th WM and in MSG? It does live up to being one of the best WM but falls short to living up to it's build mostly cause of Brock Lesner vs Goldburg which was a dream match everyone look forward to since Goldburg came back and it turn out to be an upset but not the wrost match for Goldburg, I look back at Starrcade 1998 in WCW the Nash vs Goldburg was hyped just like this at lest this had a fare ending to it unlike that match so i don't think this is a bad match for a Goldburg match but i would say this is a weak match for Brock since hes has classic 5 star matchs with Kurt Angle and Eddie, and soild ones with Undertaker and many other wwe superstars, The ending was pretty cool with Stone Cold that really helped get the people into it=o) Other then that match Wrestlemania XX is an awesome event that will go down an history i think, alot of great matchs the best being the Main event which i think is the second best WM main event of all time 1st being Bret Hart vs HBK at WM12 Awesome match with Chris Benoit make Triple H tape out for the first time i can remaber just awesome ending with all 3 guys giving it there all, Also Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Chapionship was great as well not a classic but very close to one great win for Eddie at the biggist Stage of them all, Finally Eddie and Benoit get there push and it happs at the biggest Wrestlemania, Also Undertaker returns against Kane in a solid match although it was awesome to see paul bear and unertaker coming out to his old music it was disspoiting to see undertakers ring attire being a take top other then that it was a wrestlemania moment i think, Also Rock&Sock vs Evloution in a very fun match that felt like a big WM match up and it deliverd but Sad ending if The rock and Mick foley one it would of been a WM moment it still is for Randy Orton but the fans wanted Rock&Sock to win and so did I:o) But still it was a great match and so was Y2J vs christian, And also John Cena vs Big Show for the US title in the 2nd best WM opener only to Bret vs Owen at WMX, Overall WMXX in my view is the best if not one of the best WMs yet.
Heres my rating from 1-10

John Cena vs Big Show (8)
Raw tag team championships (6)
Y2J vs Christian (8)
Rock&Sock vs Evlotion (8)
Sable&torrie vs Stacy&Jakie (for men that wanna see girls in there underware then(10)but for a wrestling match (5)

Goldburg vs Brock Lesner (6) (this is Brocks last match at lest for awhile that is im sure a good resone why it was not as good)
Cruiserwight open (7/) (alot of highlights in this match but was over too fast)
Smackdowns tag team match (6)
Molly vs Victory (4) (Seeing molly get her head shave is a WM moment i suppose.)

Eddie Vs Angle (9) (Awesome match!! not a classic but close)

Undetaker Vs Kane (7/) WM moment seeing Taker back with paul bear just ring attire was a let down match was still solid good win for Taker now 12-0 at WM thats awesome!!!)

Triple Threat World Championship match Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit vs Triple H (10) One of the best matchs I have ever seen theres only like 5 matchs that i think are wroth of a 10 and that is Bret vs HBK at WM12 1996 and HBK vs Razor Romon in a ladder match at Summerslam 1995 and Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle at Royal Rumble 2003 and Bret vs Owen at WMX 1994 and this triple threat Match at WMXX 2004 so thats saying alot about this match maybe not everyone will agree with me but thoughs are my favorit matchs and this match ranks 2nd place for me with HBK and Bret hart being number 1 this is a match that will be talked about for years a classic finally Benoit is the Champion after coming so close at Royal Rumble 2003 Benoit has one the Big one at the biggest event and biggest stage WMXX Awesome Match with a wrestlemania moment with Eddie and Benoit huging and celebrating in the Ring as it all begins for them finally!!!)

Overall i give WMXX a 9 out of 10

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 4 Great Matches, the rest S-U-C-K-E-D
Review: WrestleMania XX was an average pay-per-view at best. With only a handful of above-average matches. Here's my rundown of the top bouts that occured at the event. Keep in mind: I rate at a bust of five stars (*****).

1. World Heavyweight Championship:
Triple H [c] vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels
*****
-Incredible match. Jaw-dropping spots and excellent mat wrestling give this match a nod for M.O.T.Y. (Match of the Year). This match combined all the elements that make pro wrestling great: an electric crowd, 3 technically savvy workers putting on a tremendous show, and the crowning of a new (and deserving) World Heavyweight Champion.

2. WWE Championship:
Eddie Guerrero [c] vs. Kurt Angle
****1/2
-Another great bout. The mat work was superior to the triple-threat, but the World Heavyweight Championship made up for that flaw with lots and lots of blood that fueled the intense flow of the match. The reason this one doesn't get a perfect rating was the somewhat 'weak' looking finish. It wasn't that bad. ...

3. Two on Three Handicap Match:
The Rock and Sock Connection vs. Evolution
****
-Highly entertaining match. The Rock and Ric Flair put on a great show with little spots here and there. Foley and Orton looked suprisingly good (considering that Foley hasn't wrestled in four years). Batista seemed out of place. However, all five participants succeeded in providing a nice match to set up a Foley/Orton match down the line. The ending was beautiful and very spotaneous.

4. Chris Jericho vs. Christian
***1/2
-Nice match, the spots were well planned and the technical wrestling was off-the-page enthralling. The butterfly suplex spot was especially cool to see. The plot twist (in the Jericho/Trish storyline) at the end further cemented Jericho into a babyface role.

Well, that's the end....of the good matches. The rest were either mediocre or below-average. I recorded this on VHS and don't plan on buying the DVD set, regardless of how much extra crap WWE loads onto the disc set.

So only buy this DVD if you know what you're paying for: which is four great matches, eight stinkers, and a slew of ill-conceived vignettes.
