Summary: Easily the greatest WrestleMania ever!
Review: WrestleMania XX, live from Madison Square Garden in New York City, was by far one of the greatest WWE events of all time. For five full hours, wrestling fans all over the world were able to witness history unfold before their eyes on a night that marked the end of one era, and the beginning of a new one. Everything from the matches to the special appearences were awesome, and as a fan who was at MSG that night, I can honestly say that not a single person left the Garden dissapointed. I have watched every single WrestleMania live since 1985, and I can honestly say that this years twentieth anniversary spectacular not only lived up to all the hype, it far surpassed it.
Here are some of the biggest highlights of the event:

- John Cena defeats the Big Show for U.S. Championship, Cena's first title win in the WWE.
- Christian pulls the upset by pinning Chris Jericho. Afterwards, Trish Stratus betrays Y2J and joins forces with Christian.
- The Rock 'n Sock Connection lose to Evolution. The victory further puts over Evolution, while ensuring that the Randy Orton/Mick Foley rivalry is far from over.
- The 2004 WWE Hall of Fame inductees were presented to the sold-out crowd.
- In the first-ever Playboy Evening Gown match, Torrie Wilson and Sable beat Stacy Kiebler & Miss Jackie. Although as any guy who saw this match can tell you, there really were no losers!
- Goldberg defeated Brock Lesnar. It was both of their last nights with the company, and every single fan at MSG knew it. After the match, special referee Stone Cold Steve Austin stunned both of them right out of the WWE.
- Jesse 'the Body' Ventura announced that he may run for President in 2008, and special guest Donald Trump pledged his full support to him if he actually does.
- Victoria retained the Woman's Championship against Molly Holly. As part of a pre-match stipulation, Molly had to shave her head completely bald.
- Eddie Guerrero defeated Kurt Angle to retain the WWE Championship. One of the best matches of the night.
- In my personal favorite moment of the night, The Undertaker returned to the WWE as the classic 'Dead Man' character. He had one of the best entrances I have ever seen, complete with his original music, smoke/fog, thunder, bells, the torch-carrying Druids, and even his original manager Paul Bearer. Best of all, Taker went on to extend his WrestleMania win streak to 12-0 by defeating his own brother Kane. A great overall moment.
- Chris Benoit achieved his life-long dream by winning the World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat match against Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Easily the best match of the night. Afterwards, WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero came to the ring to congratulate his pal Chris on his huge victory. The show ended with both of them raising eachothers arms in the middle of the ring.

I highly recommend that wrestling fans of all types purchase this DVD as soon as it comes out.

Summary: lackluster, yet great
Review: its hard to say how i felt about wmxx. there was a lot of hype, as there is with every wm. i, personally, as a fan of wrestling, loved this event because of eddie and benoit reigning supreme. it was good to see "true" champions at wrestlemania. i am glad hhh had enough [courage] to drop the belt at the biggest event. nothing taken away from hhh, as he is a great mat wrestler, but if you want to "start again" is there a better way than having two of the absolute BEST in the business win (or retain) the titles? these two have deserved it for A LONG TIME, and seeing them embrace in the ring afterwards is reason enough to buy the dvd. there were some other highlights of the night, as well as some major disappointments. i mean c'mon, undertaker... a dead cowboy? he should just come out as mark callahan (ala mick foley) and end his career on a high note. i was in tears as he entered, one because he came back, two because i was so upset. other than that wmxx didnt live up to expectations. it was good, but if you want to start again, start here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where it all begins again
Review: People are putting down WM20 a lot, and its not right if u ask me. Behind WMX7, and perhaps WM19, this was the best WM put on by the WWE. WM20 had its share of downfalls, but overall the show is a big thumbs up. Here are the reasons why:
The Rock and Sock vs Evolution, Y2J vs Christian, Eddie vs Angle, and HHH vs HBK vs Benoit were very very solid matches.
Lesnar vs Goldberg was a terrible match, but yet it was memorable because of the crowd. This match will go down asn one of the craziest matches ever in WM history just for that reason alone.
The Undertakers return was phenomenal. The entire atmosphere, the crowd... everything was great about it.
Besides this, Cena vs Show was watchable, and the Cruiserwieght Open had some really good spots. The rest of the card was nothing to be talked about (The 2 tag title matches, and the 2 womens matches)
But overall, this is definitely one of the greatest Wrestlemanias of all time, hands down. Just for the Undertaker's return, and one of the most memorable endings in Wrestlemania history with Benoit finally capturing the world title, this DVD is worth it. There are set to be some really good extras as well, but as far as the event goes itself it was one to be remembered. And the main event which was the 3way title match between HHH/HBK/Benoit will be remembered as one of the best main events in Wrestlemania history.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WRESTLEMANIA XX-WHERE THE WWE DID IT AGAIN!
Review: Wrestlemania XX was titled "WHERE IT ALL BEGINS...AGAIN". The WWE did it all over again. Sure some of the matches were great but most were let downs. Sure there was some funny and exciting moments, but the negatiives are way more noticable than the positives.

The Big Show vs John Cena(U.S. Title)- Good opening match, and it was cool to see Cena pick up a major title victory. 3.5/5

RVD & Booker T vs. La Resistance vs. Garrison Cade & Mark Gindrak vs. The Dudley Boyz(World Tag Team Titles)-Could of been a lot better but it was a decent match with some high spots. 3/5

Christian vs. Chris Jericho- Great match. One of the best of the night. Great ending that you must see! 4/5

Evolution vs. Rock n' Sock- Good Tag Team match. Better than what I was expecting. One of the highs of this event with great wrestling, filled with funny moments and a great ending. 4/5

Torrie Wilson & Sable vs. Miss Jackie & Stacy(Playboy Evening Gound Match)-Not a good match at all. It just wasted time and built suspense and wait for the coming matches. 1/5

Cruiserweight Battle Royal- An ok match. There was not that many high spots and a very prdictable match. 2/5

Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar w/Stone Cold as ref- worst match that I have seen in a long time. This match was only saved by Stone Cold at the ending but not even Stone Cold could make this match a good one. 0.5/5

Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi vs the Basham Brothers, APA, and the Self-Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team (WWE Tag Team Championship)- Another 4-way tag match. Not much to say about it when you already saw the exact same match earlier in the night. 2.5/5

Victoria vs. Molly Holly(Womens Championship)- Short match and not that much entertaining. Even after the match when Molly had to shave her head it still was not that entertaining. 1.5/5

Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero(WWE Title)-The WWE finally had a Wrestlemania type match. This was a great match filled with many high spots and exciting action. The ending is very unpredictable. 4.5/5

The Undertaker vs.Kane-In my opinion the most anticipated moment of the night. The Undertaker's return. It was awesome with the druids and Paul Bearer. Then when he came out it was a let down. He is still the American Badass with the same attire just different music. The match was short and should of been longer but it was still one of my favorite moments of the night.4/5

Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs.Chris Benoit(World Title)-Best match of the night. Blood,sweat, and tears were involved in this match. This was well woth the wait. One of the best Triple-Threat matches of all time. 5/5

Overall the WWE had a chance to hit a Grand Slam, but they didn't. They had numerous oppurtunities to make this event the best of all time, but they did not.

Good-Undertaker and Paul Bearer's Return
Trish's heel turn
Benoit wins the title
Lesnar and Goldberg Get Stunned for there lackluster performance
The New York Crowd was awesome and spoke there minds (i.e. The Lesnar vs. Goldberg Match)

Bad-Lesnar vs.Goldberg
Lackluster tag team title matches
Cruiserweight Battle Royal
Playboy Evening Gound Match
Kane vs. The Undertaker was too short

Final Rating 3/5
I recomend Wrestlemania XIV,X-Seven, and XIX if you want the best that the WWE has to offer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as good as past Wrestlemanias
Review: Not as good as past Wrestlemanias, but close....

Match Listing:
U.S. Title: John Cena vs Big Slow (I mean show)...pretty good match, I personally think John Cena is GOD...so I'm automatically gonna rate this match high...WORD LIFE (5/5 stars)

RAW Fatal Four Way: Meh...nothing too great....hey, at least it was better then the Smackdown one! which doesn't say much....(3/5 stars)

Jericho vs. Christian: Pretty good match. Even though I predicted the ending, it was still cool. How can the WWE have a REALLY hot girl turn heel? Please, someone answer that for me. (4/5 stars)

Rock n Sock vs. Evolution: Man, how can people give this bad ratings? You had 3 of the greatest champions in WWE history (Rock, Flair, Foley) ... and then you had Orton and Batista...well...3/5 ain't bad...Plus! I know everyone wanted to see the second most...electrifying move in sports entertainment today! The Flair elbow!!! Don't lie to yourself...I know you wanted to! (5/5 stars)

Evening Gown Match: everyone wins (4/5 stars)

Cruiserweight Open: AWESOME match, Billy Kidman kicked ass, and good spots by everyone. Could have been longer though, and Rey Rey shoulda won (5/5 stars)

Goldberg/Lesnar: [Boring] good freakin night BORING match....Can we rate this 0 stars? HELL YEAH I AM! 0 stars for Brock and Goldberg.(...) goodbyeeee (0/5 stars)

Smackdown Fatal Four Way: oye....just not WMXX worthy (2/5)

Molly vs. Victoria for the Women's Title: Should have had Lita in it, cuz she rocks...but it was funny to see Molly's head shaved. HA HA! (3/5 stars)

WWE Title: AWESOME match, w/ a funny ending...Eddie's gotta lie, cheat, and steal baby! (5/5 stars)

Taker vs. Kane: With all the (...) hype the WWE was putting into this, you would THINK that Taker wouldn't come out lookin like a woman cowboy...where's the makeup and the OLD SCHOOL costume...seriously...it was a sweet entrance though...and a pretty good match, with the classic tombstone at the end. Plus, Kane's facial expressions pre-match were CLASSIC. (4/5 stars)

World Heavyweight Title Match: WOW....this is the match of the year (...) congrats to Benoit....(5/5 stars)

Overall, I'm giving this 4/5 stars....some of the matches (i.e. both of the tag title matches) could have been seen on Raw and Smackdown, but I was pretty happy thoughout it. I would have given it 5/5 if it wasnt' for the Brock/Goldberg match and NO HOGAN OR BRET HART!

Summary: WRESTLEMANIA
Review: Wrestlemania XX
Madison Square Garden
March 14, 2004

I knew that Wrestlemania XX could not live up to its hype. It was given way too much hype, but as long as you don't expect a masterpiece, WM XX turns out to still be the best Wrestlemania.

DVD Info:

- Top 10 Matches of Wrestlemania special (aired March 9th on Spike TV)
- WrestleMania History (photo gallery, factoids, official results) and WrestleMania trivia

Matches:

U.S. Championship
Big Show [c] vs. John Cena

This was a good way to start WM XX with Cena capturing the gold. This match was pretty good, I thought it should have been one of the last matches on the card. This was definitely not main-event material, but it still had me entertained. 7/10

Fatal Four-Way for the World Tag Team Championship
Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade vs. La Resistance vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Rob Van Dam & Booker T [c]

This match should have been an elimination match. This was not one of the best tag team matches, but the reigning champions, (RVD & Booker) made this match somewhat exciting. 6.5/10

Chris Jericho vs. Christian

This was a surprisingly good match. Although it was not even near the match between Y2J & HBK at last year's Wrestlemania, the ending made up for it. This was an entertaining match, and the ending shocked me a little. I was expecting Jericho & Christian to proclaim that they have been friends all along, but I was fooled. 8/10

Rock 'N Sock Connection vs. Evolution

This was a pretty good and.............funny match. This did not have the best technical wrestling, but it still kept me watching it. With Rock's recent return, i was a little dissapointed with the outcome. 7/10

First-Ever Playboy Evening Gown Match
Torrie Wilson & Sable vs. Stacy Keibler & Jackie Gayda

This was good, but not as good as I expected. Since this was Wrestlemania, I expected something better, but I can't really complain, considering all 4 of these women are hot no matter what. 7/10

Cruiswerweight Open-Cruiserweight Championship
Chavo Guerrero [c] vs Rey Mysterio vs Billy Kidman vs Jamie Noble vs Ultimo Dragon vs Funaki vs Akio vs Tajiri vs Shannon Moore vs Nunzio

This match was great. Although, it could have been even better if it was given more time. The ending was a bit sudden, but there was a lot of high-flyin' action throughout this contest. 8/10

Raw vs. Smackdown!
Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar

Biggest dissapointment of the night. However, it wasn't as bad as everyone has been saying. It was a little bit like the Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior match a while back, this had lots of strength tests. Even though this match was nothing spectacular, it was nice to see Lesnar get speared and jackhammered, Goldberg get F5'd, and Stone Cold Steve Austin stun both Lesnar & Goldberg. 5/10

Fatal Four-Way for the Tag Team Championship
Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty [c] vs. The Self-Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team vs. APA vs. Basham Brothers

Like I said before, I would have liked to see these tag matches be in elimination format. I don't really care for any of these wrestlers, but I thought TSPWGTT should have won. Okay match 6/10

Women's Championship
Victoria [c] vs. Molly Holly (if molly loses, she must have her head shaved)

This was an alright women's match. It was just like every other women's match. It wasn't as good as last year's triple-threat between Victoria, Stratus, & Jazz, but this was still ok. The best part was seeing Molly getting her head shaved.
5/10

WWE Championship
Eddie Guerrero [c] vs. Kurt Angle

This was a very good match, not as good as Lesnar vs. Angle last year at WM 19. I was expecting Angle to win, but Guerrero won, giving this match a little suspense. Good technical wrestling. Although I like Guerrero, I would have liked to see Angle win. 8.5/10

The Dead Will Rise Again!
The Undertaker vs. Kane

I was slightly disappointed with this match. Taker's entrance was awesome, but entrances alone don't make matches live forever. Undertaker didn't look like I was hoping him to, but he was still somewhat "scary" looking. Pretty short match for such a long build-up. 7/10

Triple Threat for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H [c] vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit

This was by far, the best match of the night, and easily the best match of 2004. Very long, grueling match and wonderful performance from all three of these men. It was nice to see Chris Benoit finally win the title. 10/10

After the World Heavyweight Championship match, Guerrero came out to the ring and held Benoit's hand up in victory. This was a memorable moment and a good way to end Wrestlemania XX.

As I said at the top, this DVD will contain 3-discs. I have already pre-ordered this DVD from Best Buy, and I advise you to do the same. The DVD is $27.99 before tax and $29.95 w/tax.

Wrestlemania XX is a must-buy for a real WWE Fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent wrestlers = World Champions!!!, finally!
Review: Matches include:
Cena v Big Show. Passable however the 2 FUs were impressive and the crowd way hot for Cena. Great rap at the beginning of the match to get the crowd to jump start.

RVD and Booker v Dudleys v Jindrak and Cade v La Resistance. Terrible match and should have not been on the card. RVD and Booker look put together, Dudleys are stale as hell while the two other are not over in the slightest.

Jericho v Christian. A decent match with a shocking ending!. Trish as a heel will be interesting. This feus will contiue after Mania and will transform Jericho as a super-over face again.

Cruserweight Open, If given over 15 mins. would have been awesome considering the talent involved, they did the best they could in the limited time. Funny moment, Ultimo Dragon slipping in his entrance.

Rock and Foley v Evolution. Decent match, great exchanges between Rock and Flair. Rock is simply the most charismatic man in the histiry of wrestling and show why in the match. Flair can still go on occasion, and this was one of the occasion.

Goldberg v Lesnar. Dissapointing match, wrestlers did not care about the match and man the New York crowd let them know about it. However the negative crowd reactions made the match amusing. Good Bye Brock and Goldberg, judging by the reactions, wrestling fans won`t miss you!. These two ego maniacs legitimately passionate wrestlers like Benoit and Guerrero who appreciate being able to perform.

Torrie and Sable v Stacy and Jackie, terrible match, should only be featured assegemnt on the pre-show. Wrestling show should have wrestling matches, how do you think Lance Storm and Matt Hardy felt seeing this match. The two easily one of the most gifter wrestlers on the Rw brand and can`t find a space on the card.

Guerrero v Angle, technically good match. Mixed reaction for Angle made more entertaining. Two of the best technical wrestlers in the world will produce a great match, no doubt. Innovative ending to the match made it more special.

Victoria v Molly, only the ending is mildly ending. A nothing match.

Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty v APA v Bashams v WGTT, one excellent tag team + two god awful teams = disaster!. WGTT deserve better then this.

Undertaker v Kane, all the hype for the Undertaker to return in his old clothes with a hat. Extremely dissapointed with his return, not been Paul Bearer could make it entertaining. I was expecting the old outfit not the same outfit + a hat and overcoat. Once the bell rang, showed everyone why he should retire immediately.

Triple H v Michaels v Benoit, a phenomenal match, awesome crowd reaction for Benoit, one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time. Triple H was looking leaner and therefore was in better cardiovascular condition in the match. All three put there heart and soul in the match and will be remembered as a Wrestlemania moment in years to come.

Overall: The matches expected to rock did and the matches expected to suck did too. However, the matches that did rule makes up for the matches that did suck. Crowd reaction in MSG was dissapointing apart from the negative reaction for the Brock-Goldberg match and postive reaction for Triple Threat Match. Still a great Wrestlemania because of Jericho/Christian, Rock-Foley/Evolution, Guerrero/Angle, Triple H/HBK/Benoit and the disqust of the crowd for the Goldberg/Brock match.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I'm skepticle
Review: man this event was overly-hyped. a few matches were good but some were ... . BRock vs. Goldberg, the two big boys of RAW and SMACKDOWN!, that matched ... . It was kool to hear the crowd chanting "BORING!!" though ha. Undertaker's return ws cool though. I wont buy the dvd though.
