Summary: Wrestlemania XIX Good PPV
Review: This was a solid event in my view, but I don't think it measures up to the last two Wrestlemanias. Something was just lacking. The lineup looked very promising on paper, and while all of the matches were solid, nothing spectacular went down and the matches ranged from average to very good, but no serious stand outs resulted from the card like in previous years. However, this is maybe the best PPV the WWE has put since Summerslam of last year. Some of the highlights include the opening match, Taker's Wrestlemania streak on the line, a well-wrestled women's match, Shawn Michaels putting on another show, Booker T showing why he, and not Trips, should be holding the Heavyweight Title, the surprisingly entertaining Hogan-Vince fight, Rock and Austin 3, and the satisfying WWE Championship bout between Brock and Angle. While not great, still a decent event that should reassure hardcore fans that WWE still can put on a spectacle.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not upto the standard of previous Wrestlemanias!
Review: This event was a bit disappointing. Sure, there were some good matches like Rock-Austin, Hogan-McMahon and Shawn-Jericho, but what this event really lacked was the star power - two big stars clashing in a fierce rivalry that makes an event a classic. The rivalries leading upto this event were low-key, and as a result the anticipation was somewhat muted. Don't get me wrong, this event is fun to watch, but once you've seen it, you are not going to watch it again and again. Not worth buying - just rent it if you can. I would recommend Backlash instead which was much better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wrestlemanie XIX
Review: Wrestlemania XIX was good but not that good but at least it was better than last years which bored ... me, we start with

Rey Mysterio vs. Matt Hardy (Cruiserweight Title)
Not a good first match at all it was slow, sloppy and boring. Matt Hardy being the champ is not a good thing at all he doesn't stand for what a cruiser weight should be. What could have been a great debut for Mysterio turned out to be sad *1/2

A-Train & Big Show vs. Undertaker
Its stupid to see taker kick both A-Train and Big Shows ... I mean come on a bit of realism never hurt anybody. It just shows how big takers ego is that he wont even sell to these to **1/2

Trish vs. Victoria vs. Jazz (Women's Title)
Not that bad for these three **1/2

Team Angle vs Rhyno & Benoit vs Los Guerreros (Tag Titles)
Huge disappointment what could have been a classic turned out to be to short. It was pretty much like a short version of there matches on Smackdown ***

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho
Great match with some ok wrestling to start out with had some nice spots but it was nothing mind blowing the only downside to the match was that it got a bit slow at times ****

Triple H vs Booker T (World Heavyweight Title)
Ok match nothing that good it's what you would expect from these to ***

Hulk Hogan v Vince McMahon (Street Fight)
I surprisingly enjoyed this match quite cool to see Vince jump of the ladder, with a leg drop threw the announcers table, straight onto Hogan and seeing Piper return didn't get me jumping out of my seat why they need to bring him back for I don't no. Then at the end of the match Shane comes out down to the ring and does nothing they should bring him back I mean it was always fun seeing him kill himself, good effort ***

The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
This match isn't as good as there other to probably because it didn't have any stipulations in it still it was very entertaining seeing The Rock act like an idiot ***1/4

Brock Lesnar v Kurt Angle (WWE Championship)
And now the match that I've have been looking forward to has arrived and it was everything i had hoped for and more it had Mat wrestling Technical wrestling none stop action great intensity and it had a buggered up finish that could have ended brocks career when he went for a shooting star press and landed on his head ouch. It was certainly one of the greatest main events at a Wrestlemania ever with a well deserved ***** if you don't like this match you can kiss my ass.

This Wrestlemania is definitely worth checking out just skip the first for matches and you'll love it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Still Not the Best Wrestlemania Ever
Review: Don't get me wrong, it wasn't horrible. As a matter of fact, it was a solid event. Just not Wrestlemania X-7 caliber. Though some of the buildup was good, the PPV still lacked in a lot of ways.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Matt Hardy-Version 1 vs. Rey Mysterio

Why did they make Kidman drop the belt to Hardy at No Way Out? Kidman vs. Mysterio would have been a classic seeing as how they have faced each other in the defunct WCW. Anyway, unnecessary interference and Mysterio carried the entire match. Horrible ending. **3/4 stars.

Undertaker vs. Big Show and A-Train

I thought that this would be the event to witness the debut of 6'10" Nathan Jones. Obviously, we were all mistaken. Not a bad match, but very slow considering that you have almost a combined weight of 900 lbs in the ring. Decent ending. **1/2 stars.

Women's Championship:
Victoria vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz

Almost a rematch of the Triple Threat Match at last year's Wrestlemania. Some better spots in this contest, however the ending was pretty tame. **1/2 stars.

WWE Tag Team Championship:
Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros vs. Rhyno and Chris Benoit

If only Edge hadn't been injured. He would have possibly made this match a Match of the Year candidate. Decent match, not a great match as the commentators suggest, but okay. Good finish. **3/4 stars.

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho

The streak of not having any potential Match of the Year candidates at Wrestlemania is officially over in my opinion. X-8 didn't muster up a single one, but this was the match of the night. A highly anticipated matchup that did not disappoint. The fans were in this match, with each superstar receiving their own crowd support. Excellent ending. ****1/2 stars.

World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Booker T

Another great match, which showcased Booker T's talent and athletic ability. As a fan of both superstars, I was impressed. Didn't care for the ending, but does serve a purpose for a possible feud. **** stars.

Street Fight
Vince McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan

Again, a Hogan match is the most hyped for a PPV. Not a match I was looking forward to as I remember Hogan's "performance" at last year's event. This was better, but my goodness, did it ever take forever to actually turn into a Street Fight. When it finally became what the stipulation intended, the contest was fair. Some weak spots, but the ending was shocking. **1/2 stars.

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock

Not as great as their brutal and classic match at Wrestlemania X-7, but still pretty entertaining. The outcome was pretty predictable, but is necessary in the buildup for the upcoming PPV. ***1/2 stars.

WWE Championship
Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar

The PPV was at a four-star level, up until this match. This, in my opinion could have been just as brutal as the buildup especially if this had been made a No-DQ contest. An okay match was the end result. A five minute headlock display by Kurt Angle put me momentarily to sleep and the botched Shooting Star that every reviewer has talked about had me cringe, but at the match's conclusion, I wasn't satisfied. **3/4 stars.

A PPV, especially if it's a Wrestlemania should make you want to watch it again and again. But the only thing that I feel is watchable is HBK/Y2J and Booker T/Triple H. Still a solid event, but I am looking more towards Wrestlemania XX at Madison Square Garden. I have a feeling that that will be the best sports entertainment spectacle ever!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!!
Review: Best matches are

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho*****
A Great match. Lots of near falls. HBK won after a roll-up on Jericho.

Vince McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan-Street Fight *****
Vince hit a legdrop off a ladder through a table on hogan. Rowdy Roddy Piper returned and hit hogan with a lead pipe. Hogan hit 3 legdrops on Vince for the win.

the Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin **** 1/2
the Rock got the win after 3 Rock Bottoms. This is the third Austin vs. Rock match @ wrestlemania. Austin beat the rock @ WM 15 and 17. the Rock beat austin at this WM.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TWO WORDS BEST EVER
Review: This is one of the best WRESTLEMANIA ppv ever. You have Rey Mysterio vs Matt Hardy(champ) for the wwe cruiserweight tittle. Nathan Jones and Undertaker vs Big Show and A Train. Plus for the tag team tittle Chris Benoit and Rhyno vs Los Guerreros vs Team Angle(champs). Jazz vs Trish vs Victoria(champ) for the wwe womens champion. HHH(champ) vs Booker T for the WWE heviweight belt. Y2j vs HBK this is a really good match. Third time in history the rattlesnake sob Stone Cold vs The Hollywood boy The Rock (nickname Rockajabroni). For the WWE belt Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle(champ) This is really good match. Who created Hulkamania? Vince Mcmahon or Hulk. Well it was decided at Wrestlemania Hulk Hogan vs Vince. Will it be no chance in hell for the Hulkster? Or will it be no chance in hell for Vince Mcmahon. Plus Limp Bizket keeps on Rolleing and they sing the Wrestlemania XIX theme Crack Addick. Plus a catfight match. The Miller Light catfight girls vs eatch other vs Stacy Keibler vs Torrie Wilson on a bed!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wrestlemania XIX was the best EVER!!!
Review: This was the single greatest WM ever!!! Here are the matches.

Cruiserweight Title
Matt Hardy v1.0 vs. Rey Mysterio
Great way to start the event. Good fast paced matchup. Matt gets the win by using the ropes. ****

Undertaker vs. Big Show and A-Train
Supposed to be a tag match but Taker's partner got taken out before the event started. Limp Bizkit plays Taker to the ring. Ok match but kinda boring. Taker gets the win after Nathan Jones shows up. ***

Women's Title
Victoria vs. Trish vs. Jazz
This was the best women's match I've ever seen. Victoria's [rear] slips out during the match. Trish wins after a Chick Kick. ****

WWE Tag Team Title
Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros vs. Rhyno & Chris Benoit
Great match but a little short. Two gores by Rhyno but Team Angle gets the win. ***1/2

Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
Match of the night. Best match of Y2J's career. Lots of near falls. Y2J hits the Sweet Chin Music on Michaels. HBK wins after a roll up. *****

World Heavyweight Title
HHH vs. Booker T.
Slow match but still good. HHH wins with a Pedigree out of nowhere. ***1/2

Street Fight
Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. McMahon
Awesome match lots of high spots. Roddy Piper shows up. McMahon hits a legdrop of a ladder. The ref from No Way Out tries to screw Hogan again. Doesn't work this time. Hogan wins. *****

The Rock vs. Stone Cold
Great match but not quite as good as their match from X7. Rock finally wins after three Rock Bottoms.*****

WWE Title
Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar
Kurt cannot have a bad match. This is a technical classic. Brock shows why he isn't a high flier by missing a Shooting Star Press and landing on his head. Brock wins after 3 F5's. *****

Overall the single greatest WM ever. Limp Bizkit does a great performance of the WM theme song Crack Addict. The extras are probably gonna be awesome as they always are with Wrestlemania. GET THIS DVD!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mostly 5 star matches
Review: Well, Wrestlemania has lost it's luster in recent years. This is one of the better ones in a while. The opening match was great. My only complaint was that it could have gone longer. Rey and Hardy tore it up. Limp Bizkit performed a theme that hasn't been used for a long while, and Undertaker didn't take Fred down, so I hated the next match already. Undertaker wins, surprise surprise. The next match was a really surprisingly good one. Trish has gotten some skills lately and Jazz and Victoria are both two of the best women wrestlers i've seen. Triple threat tag match, nothing special ok i guess. HBK Vs. Jericho was next, my personal faveorite match along with Angle vs. Lesner. One of my all time faves vs. one of the current best. Great match, nice change of pace from the brawls of earlier matches. The catfight, terriable can't even watch. Limp Bizkit provides another fast foreward moment. Booker T vs HHH, not bad, not great HHH wins again. Hogan vs. McMahon, good stuff thought it'd be boring but the street fight stipulation adds some excitement. Lesner Vs. Angle, wow i could say so much about this. Great stuff from these two, but what else would you expect from Kurt. Lesner impresses me. The shooting Star press was truly sick. I can't watch it without cringing. Great show of respecet at the end. Overall I'd rate this a 7/10-1 point off for A train and Big show, one for the catfight and one off for Limp Bizkit.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good, just not great
Review: How the Lesnar/Angle match can be viewed as good is puzzling me. Lesnar made a huge mistake (a sign of why he shouldn't have been in the main event in his first Wrestlemania) stopping their match from being an all-time classic.

Thank goodness for the DVD to skip the complete boredom of the Miller Lite Cat-Fight girls.

Overall the PPV was very good, and the extras will probably knock off your socks, just a shame that a couple downers that ruined a very good Wrestlemania XIX
