Summary: The (Third) Greatest Wrestlemania of all time
Review: Matt Hardy vs Rey Mysterio: A good match. But it wasn't given enough time. Plus the finish was unclean. Plus their rematch was a lot better but it was also double the time. ** 1/2

Taker vs Atrain and Big Slow: Slow, boring, waste of time. Taker is way past his prime and can only be carried to a good match about once every 4 months if that. *

Trish vs Victoria vs Jazz: Three pretty good workers makes a decent match. Women's matches are never spectacular. So pretty good for a women's match means **

Team Angle vs Los Guerreros vs Benoit and Rhyno: All of these wrestlers are good workers. It was an entertaining match but it devestates me how Benoit and Eddie Guerrero are stuck in tag division when they can be so much more. Enjoyable but too short.
***

HBK vs Jericho: A Disputed match of the night. Jericho and Michaels have great chemistry and both of these guys are great in their own right. Jericho really should be main event and this match proves it. HBK still is a fantastic wrestler. **** 1/2

Booker T vs Triple H: I'm really upset that Booker didn't get a freaking rematch considering both Steiner and Nash got rematches, much less he should have gotten the title. Booker T is a fantastic character and a pretty decent worker, much better than Triple H. Booker doesn't have much left in him. And this is probably one of the best matches he put on in WWE. BOOO to HHH. ****

Hogan vs McMahon: Better than it had any right to be. A good brawl for what it's worth, with some decen storytelling. McMahon is still a horrible wrestler, and Hogan is still stuck in the 80's. ***

The Rock vs Austin part 3: A good match. Not as fantastic as the other two. But still has the epic feel behind it. Austin's last good match. *** 1/2

Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle part 1: This is the first epic to start one of the greatest series of matches in the year 2003. A really beautiful match. YOU MUST CHECK OUT: part 2 at Summerslam 2003 and part 3 The Ironman Match from September smackdown. ***** My MATCH OF THE NIGHT.

Really great PPV. Probably the best PPV all around of 2003.

Summary: Extremly Great Wrestlemania!
Review: Wrestlemania 19 ranks up there with some of the best Wrestlemania's ever.

Matt Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio-Cruierweight title- This match was okay. They shuold of given these two talented uperstars more than 5 minutes at a 4 hour ppv.

Undertaker vs. A-Train and The Big Show-It wasn't good, but it was better match then anyone expected. Undertaker won to continue his Wrestlemania undefeated streak.

Victria vs. Trish vs. Jazz- Women's title-Good ladys match. better then I expected it to be. Trish won!

Benoit/Rhyno vs. Guerreos vs. Team Angle-tag team titles- Not as good as it should have been, but it was still very solid. Although it should have gotten more time.

Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Micheals- Now this wasa great match! It had real wrestling and it had that wrestlemania feel to it. A True Classic!

HHH vs. Booker T-World Title- I was dissapointed that HHH won, but it was still a great match.

Vince Mcmahon vs. Hulk Hogan-Streetfight. Bloody match! I really enjoyed this match. One of my favorite wrestler of all time returned!

The Rock vs. Stone Cold- The weakest out of their three wrestlemania matches, but it was still the usual greatness from these two.

Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle-WWE championship-Amazing Match! it was a true wrestlemania classic title match!

Summary: WrestleMania XIX
Review: This was one of the best WrestleManias i've ever viewed. Most of the card was solid and the DVD itself is packed with some great extras.

SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT Extra
* RVD & Kane v. Lance Storm & Cheif Morley - Tag Titles

Should have replaced "Millerlite Catfight" segment during the actually show. Great match. Very intense action. Dudley Boyz even get involved and are a huge factor in the outcome.

* Matt Hardy v. Rey Mysterio - Cruiserweight Title

This was a very good opener. The only letdown was the crowd reactions and the finish.

* Undertaker & Nathan Jones v. Big Show & A-Train

Limp Bizkit plays The Undertaker to the ring. Events during Sunday Night Heat turn this into a handicap match. The Undertaker "is" this match. The Big Show and A-Train ride on his back the entire contest. Nonetheless, a surprisingly entertaining match with Nathan Jones saving the day in the end.

* Victoria v. Trish Stratus v. Jazz - Women's Title

This is by-far the greatest women's match ever, whether at a WrestleMania or any other show. All three women give their all and put on a damn good show with, sadly, a lackluster crowd reaction, which is what kills this match. Steven Richards' comedic antics spice this one up as well.

* Team Angle v. Los Guerreros v. Chris Benoit & Rhyno - Tag Titles

The best three-way tag match to ever take place so far. Great performances by Chavo and Eddie Guerrero, who gave the greatest show of athletisism in the bout. Nice chaotic climax to end this one.

* Shawn Michaels v. Chris Jericho

Excellent contest. Shawn Michaels had an unbelievable entrance. Michaels not only pulled out some old tricks, but revealed some new ones. Chris Jericho also stole the show. Couldn't have asked for more from these two atheletes, with a post-match encounter that will leave any HBK fan with a sour taste in their mouth (shame on you Jericho).

*WrestleMania Catfight
Millerlite Catfight Girls v. Torrie Wilson v. Stacy Keibler

Horrible gimmick match. Yes, the clevage (or what little bit there is..) is there. But..not only is it pointless. But we end up seeing Jonathan Coachman in his underwear and nothing close to the billing. oh well. Only bad spot of the night.

* Triple H v. Booker T - World Title

Great match. Triple H pulled out all the stops. Booker T showed why he deserved to be in a WrestleMania title match. Overall, Booker T stole the show with a throwback to his old Harlem Heat days (you'll just have to watch to find out). Would have been a perfect match had we seen Triple H pull out the 'ol sledge hammer and even more so, had we seen the man who really deserved to win walk out with the gold.

* Hulk Hogan v. Vince McMahon - Street Fight

Awesome match-up. This is where the crowd was the loudest the whole night. Just how any street fight should be. Bloody and violent. A shocking return by one of Hogan and Vince's old nemesis'. Unbelievable ending.

* Stonecold Steve Austin v. The Rock

One of the best match-ups of the night. The crowd is really into this one as well. Lots of nearfalls. This one will keep you on your toes until the very end...and what an end it was to an excellent feud. Nothing as shocking as X-7, where Austin turned heel, though. But still incredible.

* Kurt Angle v. Brock Lesnar - Championship Title

Best match on the card. When watching this, just keep in mind that Kurt Angle is wrestling with a broken neck and you'll realize why. Brock Lesnar proves that he's more than just a "power-based" wrestler. There is no point in this match where you will want to stop and grab a snack or fast foward. The entire match is solid. Great performance by both men.

All in all a top notch show. Great DVD. This WrestleMania alone could very well convert a non-fan into a hardcore fan. Not the best. Maybe not even in the top five. But definetely one of the best Mania's of all-time. Limp Bizkit's performance is amazing even if you're not a fan of their music. Ashanti's rendition of America the Beautiful at the beginning of the show is missing from the DVD (what's up with that?). The DVD extras are great, but it would have been nice if they would have included an extra historical match or two from prior Mania's. For example, the first two Austin/Rock encounters. Otherwise, an excellent DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not The Greatest WM but still pretty darn good!
Review: I hadn't seen the extras but I can comment on the card itself as I have seen it:

WWE Championship match: Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar - Two former amature wrestlers fighting for the WWE Title. That's very rare. One uses strength and technique to win (Angle) while the other is brute power with technical skills (Lesner). Very good match with a shocking and, quite frankly, scary ending!

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock - Not a bad match but definitely not as good as their first two WM encounters! The Rock, surprisingly, used more wrestling than he has in the past Vs. Austin at WM. Usually, they were all out brawls but this time Rocky used great psychology. Austin, while in great looking shape, isn't what he was even a year ago. Still, a good match.

Street Fight "20 Years in the Making": Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. McMahon - Surprisingly well done! Very entertaining match!

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Triple H vs. Booker T - I have not really brought myself to watch this whole match yet for personal reason. Suffice to say HHH should've lost!

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho - The best match at WM 19 without question! A classic WM match!

Triple-Threat WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin vs. Eddie Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit and Rhyno - Decent bout but could've been better.

Triple-Threat Women's Championship Match: Victoria with Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz - Surprisingly good. Jazz was great as always as was Victoria. Trish isn't that good of a wrestler though she is certainly better than she was 2 years ago. Hot outfit she wore for the match though! Got to give Trish that!

Undertaker & Nathan Jones vs. Big Show & A-Train - This was basically a two on one match. The best thing about this match was that they went back to "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit for this one! HALLELUAH THERE IS A GOD!

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match: Matt Hardy with Shannon Moore vs. Rey Mysterio - Good match up but WAAAAY too short!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Wrestlemania 19
Review: This was a great looking card from top to bottom, this is truley the greatest wrestlemania ever. The Rock showed why is the peoples champ as he layed out Austin, in a gruleying and intense battle, which will go down as the greatest fueds ever. HHH and Booker T went at it for all the marbles, and the game came out on top as usual. Now for the main event of the evening, Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle. This is my favorite match i have ever seen. The olyimpic gold medalist showed why he won with a freakin broken neck in 1996. He gave it all he got and then some. Brock the ncaa champion in the year of 98' is a magnificient all-round wrestler. This match has alot of great action. Lesnar's attempt at a ssp was wicked, Kurt was so far so its not his fault for missing.But yeah, wheater you are a harcore fan or a casual fan like me this is a must buy.
