Summary: I was at Safeco... MANIA RULED!!!
Review: WOW, I was live at Mania and it was awesome. These are the true ratings from a true fan
Opener
Matt Hardy Vs. Rey Mysterio
I was PUMPED for this one and I got... a big dissapointment. The match was under 7 minutes long. This should have 12-15. Matt won with feet on ropes. *1/2
Undertaker Vs. Big Show and A-Train. Supertaker kicks ass, comes out to Rollin (live proformance)and actually has a great big man match. Taker wins after our FAVORITE Aussie kicks the Show and Taker tombstones the Train. **3/4
Womans Title
Victoria Vs. Jazz Vs. Trish
Pretty good match, with Trish winning with the chick kick. I wanted Victoria to win though. **1/4
Team Angle v. Rhyno and Benoit v. Los Guerreros
A really dissapointing 8 minutes long. Eddie and Benoit are main eventers, Rhyno is almost there, Chavo is so underrated and Team Angle has great matches. This needed 40 minutes. Ok match though **
So far reading the review, you must be thinking, whats so great about this Wrestlemania... well the 5 main events will tell us why
HBK Vs. Y2J
Oh my God, this match was breathtaking. It was so intense live, and although CJ needed the win more, Safeco field erupted throughout the match. HBK is still the showstoppa ****3/4
World Title
HHH Vs. Booker T
Pretty good match, but as usual HHH wins, Book and HHH work well and had a good match, but (sadly) HHH won with the petigree. ***
20 Years in the Making
Vince McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan
Hulk and Vince pulled out all the stops. A ladder legdrop thru the table by Vince, the evil French referee (now Grenier in La Resistance) gets shut down, Roddy Piper gets Roudy, HHH promises to lose the title, Hogan does three legdrops and Safeco erupts again. Ok so HHH didnt say have anything to do with this match, but I was on a roll! *** for the match ***** for the Mania moment
Austin Vs. Rock III
Wow, this one never gets old. These two had an awesome match, which was very exiting live. Rock wins with a rock bottom, I mean two rock bottoms, never mind 2 friggin rock bottom's! ****
Kurt Angle v. Brock Lesnar
Angle had a severly hurt neck going into this and treated this match like it was his last, leaving nothing behind. Brock did a shooting star press on his head. Kurt kicked out of the F5. Brokc won with his 3rd F5. ****1/4
WOW, the undercard was dissapointing, except Undertaker. The main events all lived up and Wrestlemania kicked serious a$$
The DVD has 2hrs of extras, including Goldbergs debut, etc.
BUY IT NOW, cause i said so

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent PPV!!!! a must have
Review: Was this the best Wrestlemania ever? No, it wasn't (check out 3 and X-Seven)Was this still a great event? NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! HBK vs. JERICHO was smart technical at its best. HHH vs. BOOKER T gave an entertaining match especially with Ric Flair at ringside. HOGAN vs. MCMAHON was a well done street fight with enough surprises to keep any wrestling fan intrigued. AUSTIN vs. THE ROCK III wasn't as good as their past two Wrestlemania headliners (especially X-Seven) but was still entertaining and was probably a respectful farewell to Austin who continues to prove that he is one of if not the toughest SOB to grace the ring. LESNAR vs. ANGLE in my opinion was brilliant. To see a guy Brock's size do the moves he can do and roll on the mat like a featherweight is mind boggling. So what if he missed the shooting star press, it made the match more memorable. It took guts to do what he did.

Overall, this show was awesome and is a great purchase. If anybody says that X8 was better, then they were probably beaten over the head with a hammer when the wrote the review. Do yourself a favor and buy this DVD.

Summary: No long time wrestling fans in here XIV- NOT! Best=earlier
Review: Real fans of pro wrestling entertainment respect the wrestling and not just the hardcore aspect of the business. Wrestlemania 14 was the last good one. Sure, there have been memorable matches at all the pay-per-views but consistent good cards were the earlier ones. You can't make a Wrestlemania good on only 1 good match, it takes several. The overall view of a pay-per-view is what happens during the whole thing, not just part of it. Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar was a good match, maybe 1 other (2 max more) were good. The rest were pretty mediocre. WrestleMania 2000 had the tag team elimination ladder match and the fatal 4 way, the rest wasn't all that. Wrestlemania 15 had the first Rock vs. Austin, that was only good one there. The second Austin/Rock at WM 15 and the TLC were the only good ones there. Overall, this years Wrestlemania 19 was disappointing. Of course, hasn't most of what WWE has given its real and true fans who have watched a long time- all lately that has been happening has been boring, not just Wrestlemania 19

Summary: WRESTLEMANIA X8 WAS MUCH BETTER
Review: This wrestlemania was good but not as great as wrestlemania x8.Who ever said this wrestlemania was the best their probably on drugs or somethin cause there was some really boring mathes.The best matches on the card were HOGAN VS.VINCE,AUSTIN VS.ROCK,HBK VS.JERICHO,BROCK VS.KURT ANGLE.Most of the card was solid but there was some very dull matches that made wrestlemania x9 not as good as wrestlemania x8.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Wrestlemania I've ever seen!
Review: Wrestlemania XIX was one of the most excellent PPV's the WWE had to offer. Tha card from top to bottom was phenominal. One of the best matches I enjoyed was the match between Hogan v. McMahon. *****

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best WWE PPV EVER!
Review: Matches rated on the 5-star scale:
DUD: Pure crap
*: Ok, but didn't really go anywhere
**: average match
***: solid, good match
****: awesome match, and a serious match of the year contender
*****: absolutely fantastic, a candidate for greatest match ever.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Matt Hardy (c) w/ Shanon Moore vs. Rey Mysterio
Booking gets a lot of heat for giving this match only 5 minutes, but looking back it was a smart choice. Matt and Rey are great, but don't have very good chemistry, so their matches are best kept short. The match is very fast paced and Rey throws out a lot of high spots. It's a lot of fun to watch, but there isn't a whole lot of substance. **

Undertaker vs. A-Train & Big Show
Dropping Nathan from the match allowed this match to not suck and give it a "can Taker keep his streak intact?" feel, which is good. Match was nothing special, but not bad either. Good finish. *1/2

Womens Championship
Victoria (c) vs. Jazz vs. Trish Stratus
A really good womens match with a lot of action. **1/4

WWE Tag Team Championships
Team Angle (c) vs. Rhyno & Chris Benoit vs. Los Guerreros
Good match, but it should have gotten 5 more minutes and the finish was messed up. **1/2

Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
Absolutely awesome match, definitely the match of the year. Jericho did a great job working on the back and generally acting like a jack ass, while Michaels did a good job of selling (aside from his comebacks, which is excusable) and timed his comebacks well. The match also featured some pretty cool spots, like Jericho's one sweet chin music. The only complaint I have here is the wrong guy went over, but that doesn't take away from the actual match, which was fantastic. *****

World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H (c) vs. Booker T
The match is very good, but suffers from a dead crowd. A lot of back and forth early and then some good psychology with Triple H and Flair working on Booker's leg. ***1/4

Streetfight
20 Years in the making
Hulk Hogan vs. Vince Mcmahon
Surprisingly good stuff here. The match had some good psycology to start with Vince going after Hogan's arm, but they eventually leave the ring and it turns into a real streetfight with chairs and ladders being used. The match features some good brawling, some cool spots and a surprise appearance making it one of the most interesting matches all year. ****. After the match, Shane shows up and does nothing, but it was cool seeing him on TV anyway.

The Rock vs. Steve Austin (Part III)
Good brawl, with a bunch of near falls and a lot of intensity. Austin couldn't have asked for a better retirement match. Not only was the match good, but it put both guys over (meaning that he gets to say he did the right thing and jobbed and he wasn't even hurt by it), was the last chapter of a classic rivalry and it was on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania. ***1/2

9) WWE Championship
Kurt Angle (c) Vs Brock Lesnar
I thought this match would be a dissapointment considering most peoples expectations, but I have to admit, it definitely delivered. Great psycology, great flow and great story. ****3/4

All I can say about this show is "wow". Just an awesome show. This card boasts 3 ****+ matches, something no other show I have seen has, was well built up and had FIVE main events.

If you want to buy a WWE DVD and don't already have this, you should definitely pick this up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Battle in Seattle
Review: The nineteenth installment of Wrestlemania was an amazing PPV that truely raised the bar in terms of quality entertainment! After a dissapointing X-8, the WWE insured success by having five matches which could have headlined Wrestlemania alone:
Booker T vs HHH
After terrible fueds with Steiner ,RVD and Kane, HHH met his match against the former 5 time WcW champion - an enjoyable match which cemented Booker T's role as the new people's champ.
HBK vs Y2J
Shawn Micheals returned to his first Wrestlemaina in five years to battle a man many consider the next showstopper - Chris Jericho. A match of the year candidate that will have you on the end of your seat. Fantastic.
Hogan vs McMahon
This match nearly stole the show as these two veterans had a boodly battle, with more shocks than any other match could offer. Vinney Mac produced the "Wrestlemania moment" with his top of the ladder leg drop
Rock vs Austin
The final installement of a bitter fued that captured the imagination of the sports entertainment world. A surprising ending, but the bottom line is these two already reached their peak back at X7. Enjoyable, as ever.
Angle vs Lesnar
A mesmorising match that might not have taken place due to Angle's injury. Good to see a 'wrestling' match headlining this PPV. Brock proved he's got what it takes to become one of the greatest, Angle deserved his spot in the main event. I'm sure this is only the opening chapter of a fued that will contiue for years.

The undercard to this PPV produced a few surprises too. Many expected the cruiserweight or possibly the tag-team match to be the highlight of the night, it turned out the Undertaker handicap match and the Womens title match were both enjoyable and dramatic. Just proves - 'Taker is still the man at Wrestlemania.

Verdict - better than WM 15, 2000 and X8 but was still one match away from equalling X7
