Summary: A culture shock for 80's wrestling fans
Review: I was mainly a wrestling fan from 1984 to 1990. It had been about seven years since I'd watched a wrestling pay-per-view, but I heard so many good things about this Wrestlemania that I had to order it.

I remember when the ladder match was a revolutionary concept. Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels tore the house down with just a single ladder and great ring psychology. Yet somehow, even with five ladders, ten tables, and 87 chairs, the TLC match left me feeling rather bored, with the exception of the occasional ...moments where the participants risked death several times during the match. These nine guys were so worried about protecting themselves that they didn't seem to have any time to tell a story in the match, just "fall down, get up, set up the ladders and chairs, and do it again" ad nauseum.

That's not to say that there weren't any moments that I didn't like. Triple H/Undertaker had a rather interesting match, purists can find a lot of good things to say about Angle/Benoit, and the McMahon Civil War is a voyeurs dream come true. But the "Gimmick" Battle Royal summed up my feelings about this show best. It was great seeing some of these old timers again, but sad seeing how totally out of shape most of them had become. It made me feel kind of old and insecure, seeing how badly time has warped the memories of my youth. Like Thomas Wolfe says, you can't go home again.

If you're a modern day wrestling fan, ignore this review. It's not for you, because we're not on the same wavelength. But if you are another 80's wrestling fan refugee like me wanting to see what's become of the spectacle (and don't have access to RAW and Smackdown for some reason or other), let me just say that wrestling is totally different from your fan days, and you might be better off picking up a copy of Wrestlemania III, or Best of Wrestlemania so you can absorb the new product in a smaller dose.

Summary: The best Wrestlemania EVER.....no question!
Review: Wrestlemania 17 was easily the best Wrestlemania ever, without a doubt. I live in Texas and was lucky enough to be able to attend. It was awesome. The crowd was pumped the whole time. The section I was in was definitely the loudest in the Astrodome. The card was great. Here are the matches.

Intercontinental Title Match: Chris Jericho(c) vs. William Regal- Jericho won to retain the IC Title. It was a decent match. It was something to get the crowd pumped. Jericho's entrence is sweet.

Acolytes & Tazz vs. Val Venis, Bull Buchanan, & The Goodfather- The Acolytes & Tazz won. This was a pretty short match. It was the sleeper match of the night. There's one at every pay-per-view. Bradshaw was pumped. He got a good pop.

European Title Match: Test(c) vs. Eddie Guerrero- Eddie Guerrero won to capture the European Title. It was a pretty good match. Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko interfered, which cost Test the match. The Radicals got a lot of heat.

Hardcore Title Match: Raven(c) vs. Kane vs. The Big Show- Kane won to capture the Hardcore Title. This was the most entertaining match of the night. They fought all through the dome. At on point, Kane ran over Raven's leg with a golf cart. This match was great.

Women's Title Match: Ivory(c) vs. Chyna- Chyna won to capture the Women's Title. The Right to Censor was banned from ringside, which was very bad for Ivory. Chyna never gave her a chance.

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle- Kurt Angle won after he rolled Benoit up and held his tights. This match was awesome. It was the best actual "wrestling" match of the night. They put on a great match for the fans. They're both great technical wrestlers.

TLC 2 Tag Team Title Match: Dudley Boyz(c) vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian- Edge & Christian won with the help of Rhyno. This was the best match of the night. Rhyno, Spike Dudley, and Lita all got involved. Lita took out Spike, only to receive a 3D in return. Jeff Hardy placed Spike and Rhyno on two tables that were beside each other. Then he got that huge ladder he uses in all of the ladder matches and gave them a Swanton Bomb off of the top. Matt and D-Von's fall from the ladders to the four tables on the outside was amazing. There were many "Holy Sh*t chants, most from our section.

Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon w/Mick Foley as referee- Shane won after Linda came out of her trance and kicked him in the....well, you know where. Trish Stratus turned on Vince in this match and slapped him in the face, which started a brawl between her and Stephanie. Mick even beat the... out of Vince. Shane gave Vince the Van Terminator to win the match. He's the only person, other than Rob Van Dam, to ever be able to pull that off. Great match!

Gimmick Battle Royal- The Iron Shiek won. "Mean" Gene and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan were the commentators for the match. They got great pops. The participants were: Sgt. Slaughter, Hillbilly Jim, Michael Hayes, Bushwacker Luke, Bushwacker Bush, Doink the Clown, Nikolai Volkoff, Iron Shiek, Earthquake, Typhoon, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese, Gobbledy Gooker, Kamala, Kimchee, One Man Gang, Brother Love, The Goon, and Repo Man. It was very funny.

Triple H vs. Undertaker- The Undertaker won. It was a great match. The two best parts of the match were when the Undertaker chokslammed Triple H off of a tower to the cement, and when the Undertaker gave Triple H the Tombstone. It was a vey good match.

World Title Match: The Rock(c) vs. Stone Cold- Stone Cold won to capture the World Title. This match was amazing. Both The Rock and Stone Cold kicked out of each other's finishing moves. The Rock gave Austin a Stunner and Stone Cold gave The Rock a Rock Bottom. The end saw Vince McMahon screw The Rock and HELP Austin win! Austin gave The Rock about fifteen chair shots. The crowd couldn't decide whether to cheer or boo Austin. It was absolutely shocking.

I definitely suggest that every wrestling fan buy this. It is worth every cent you pay for it.

Summary: You can't afford to miss this one!
Review: I just got this in the mail and have watched it several times already! lol. The World Title Match with Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock was one of the greatest of all time! Both on the top of their game that made the match even better. Undertaker Vs Triple H was another great one that saw Moterhead perform "The Game" Live! TLC2 was a spectacular match but the crowd didn't really get into the big bumps for some reason and that kinda put a damper on things. My only complaint about this DVD set is that it separates WrestleMania into two CDs so you can't just sit back and watch the entire thing but it's alright. I don't have cable so it was a real treat to see this for the first time and the price makes is even sweater

Summary: The Best WWF PPV in Years
Review: Wrestlemania X-SEVEN was in my view the best PPV I have seen in years. Regal V Jericho, TLC2, Raven v Big Show v Kane, the gimick battle royal; everything was pure gold. The main event was kick @ss, the match was excellent and the ending with Vince and Austin, WOW. When I was watching this event live in the UK I was up unitl past 5am, after the event I was like ... OH MY GOD...This is a DVD for every kind of WWF fan, old Hogan generation and New Austin Generation.

BEST PPV OF ALL TIME

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: one of the best mania's ever
Review: JERICHO VS. REGAL- this match was very average nothing spectacular about it.

RTC VS. APA/TAZZ- not a very good match, get something to drink during this one.

KANE VS. BIG SHOW VS. KANE- very entertaining match with alot of high spots, and a great ending.

TEST VS. EDDIE GUERRO-a fair match with good crowd reaction

BENOIT VS. ANGLE- great match, that featured get this, alot of mat wrestling, then shifted into a regular wrestling match, the ending is a bit screwy though.

Chyna vs. ivory- boring

TLC 2 match- great match with alot of high spots, people going through tables, chairshots, falling off ladders through tables, a great match.

gimmick battle royal-a bad match, but the introductions are good and got the crowd going.

Undertaker vs. hhh-not a bad match but not a great one, at first you though wow what a fall by hhh, because he was chokslamed off the stage,but then i noticed that he landed on a really coushined padding, they should of just painted a bullseye on the padding, of course nobody except maybe foley would want to take a bump like that.

ROCK VS. Austin-a much better match than i expected out of these two, lets face it austin can only do a stunner and and a forearm, and the rock, well he's a fairly good wrestler and one of my favs. the ending is unexpected and crappy for all you rock fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WWF WrestleMania X-Seven! The Grand-daddy of 'em all!
Review: What more can you say about any WrestleMania event? I always get a funny feeling in my stomach! They get me every time! These events have proven time and time again how masterful and entertaining wrestling can be! I really think that if Vince McMahon can top this next year with WrestleMania X-Eight, then WWF should become a religion. Oh, my God!

The opening match involving Chris Jericho defending the WWF Intercontinental Title was a great opener, involving some old-school wrestling techniques. Y2J overcomes the odds and retains his title following the Lionsault.

In a huge Six-Man Tag Team Match, Tazz teams up with the Acolytes to face the lecturous Right To Censor (Bull Buchanan, Goodfather & Val Venis). Ol' White Socks didn't walk away with the victory in this one (Thank, God!), and I believe that this was one of the most entertaining Six-Man Tag Team Matches ever fought. I am glad that Bradshaw lived up to his speech about winning at WrestleMania, and did so after the Clothesline From Hell on the Goodfather.

Raven defended the WWF Hardcore Title against Kane and the Big Show. Poor Raven! No doubt a WrestleMania victory in retaining his Hardcore Title over these two monsters would have made him the happiest man alive, but sadly that was not the case. In what has to be considered a HARD grueling match down to the very CORE (No pun intended! Seriously!) this one brought comedy and carnage in true WrestleMania fashion! I loved it, especially the golf cart ride! Heh-heh! Kane wins the WWF Hardcore Title following a huge elbow drop from the stage pinning (surprisingly) the Big Show! Hard luck, Raven!

Eddie Guerrero challenged Test for the WWF European Title in a reasonable speed vs power match-up! In the end, after some interference by both of his Radical buddies, speed prevails after Eddie bashes Test with the title to win the title. Hope your proud of yourself, Eddie!

Kurt Angle was challenged by Chris Benoit in this match which surprisingly received no hype at all. No hype, obviously made these two determined to put on a true show stealer in the greatest form of wrestling ever witnessed. They turned a wrestling match into a pier-6 brawl. In the end, as expected, the "Olympic Hero" grabs the Rabid Wolverine's tights into a roll-up predicament to steal the win. Very entertaining match!

Ivory (motor-mouth) defends the WWF Women's Title, which she never deserved, against Chyna, the Ninth Wonder of the World, who has not surprisingly ever been the WWF Women's Champion. When you can beat men like Chyna can I'm sure you wouldn't be interested in the Women's Title! She is a former WWF Intercontinental Champion and coincidentally the first ever female Intercontinental Champion. Well done, Chyna! An expected victory in this short yet highly anticipated contest.

Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon in a Street Fight. Many surprises along the way in this one. Street Fight is at its ultimate best in this anything-goes affair. Vince's actions in recent months (the affair with Trish Stratus, keeping his wife heavily sedated, etc.) were all built up to this Street Fight at WrestleMania and both of the McMahon boys show us what they are made of. After one hell-of-a low blow from Linda, the WWF Chairman is left to the mercy of Mick Foley and Shane McMahon. He gets no mercy and after an unbelieveable drop-kick stunt from Shane involving a trash can, Vince is finally defeated.

TLC II - Dudley Boyz defend the Tag Team Titles (once again at WrestleMania) against Edge & Christian and the Hardy Boyz. Oh, my God! What a masterpiece of talent. Tables, Ladders & Chairs! Oh, my! No one would have ever thought that these 3 teams could capture the magic of the first TLC Match, but they beat all odds. With new accomplices Rhyno and Spike Dudley, and Lita getting into the fray, this one had a heart-stopping feel to it! I cannot wait for the next TLC! Edge & Christian prove again why they so reek of awesomeness by winning TLC again and becoming seven-time WWF Tag Team Champions, and who may I ask has ever done that before? Of course they couldn't have done it without a little help from Rhyno, they've just got friends in high places, really HIGH places (pun intended)!

Gimmick Battle Royal reunited legendary wrestlers, who are getting on a bit, but it is good to see the wrestlers you loved growing-up with. The Iron Sheik, who I have never heard of, wins this one last eliminating Hillbilly Jim. Sgt. Slaughter locks on the Cobra Clutch to his arch-nemesis in true sore-loser method.

Undertaker and Triple H. No stipulation added, nothing on the line, just two of the greatest wrestlers who have never met one-on-one on any Pay-Per-View before. Triple H, who retained his WWF Title last year at WrestleMania, which the Undertaker was absent from, gets his just-desserts in a classic match that turned into the second Street Fight of the night when the referee was intentionally beaten up. The Undertaker, the homeboy of Houston, shows the Game why he truly is an American Badass, after he takes Triple H for his first and Last Ride (another pun intended).

Stone Cold Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble 2001, earlier this year, eliminating Kane! The Rock won the WWF Title at No Way Out, after defeating Kurt Angle. RAW! Rock-Austin-WrestleMania! No two men have ever received legendary status like these two. The Rattlesnake and the People's Champion, although they have met before (WrestleMania XV, when Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Rock, who was a heel, to win the WWF Championship), the fans always wanted to know who the better man truly was in this sequel to WrestleMania XV. Did they find out who the better man was? Yes, they did! Did the better man win? No, he didn't! This was truly a masterpiece of wrestling! All hype that surrounded this match was worth the wait! It was an absolute treasure. But all expectations were false. Yes! This match was brutal! Yes! Both men sweat and bled for the title! No! A true champion didn't leave WrestleMania! In what has to be considered the greatest upset (in more ways than one) Stone Cold defeated The Rock, with the help of (brace yourself) Mr. McMahon! A man who has made Steve Austin's life hell and has tried to prevent him from ever being the WWF Champion screwed The Rock for the second consecutive WrestleMania giving the victory to the Rattlesnake. It was one hell of a job for Austin to win the title. A Stone Cold Stunner proved impossible to put The Rock away, a chair shot from Vince McMahon proved not enough, but after several chair shots from an outraged and determined Stone Cold, The Rock lost the WWF Title in a sickening occurence. What fans saw that night will keep worldwide watchers of the sport talking for years to come! Austin and McMahon, two long-time rivals, shook hands and it seemed now that after at least three years, Mr. McMahon finally had the WWF Champion he had always wanted in Stone Cold Steve Austin. With that, Stone Cold added insult to injury by blasting The Rock with what was his title belt and the two left the Reliant Astrodome leaving the fans in Houston and what was left of The Rock in total confusion. As the 67,000 in the Astrodome exited the arena themselves, one question was left on their minds: "Why, Stone Cold? Why"

WWF WrestleMania X-Seven is ultimately superb. I suggest you rent it, buy it on video and DVD as well! Anything that can get you to see it.

Summary: The greatest ppv ever? I think not
Review: Wrestlemania X-7 may have arguably been the most hyped ppv of all time. Now the only question was could it live up to the hype. I must say, not quite. I think everyone thinks this ppv is so great because everyone thinks this ppv is so great, not because it really is. 1: Jericho vs Regal, this one was good, not a bad choice for an opener, but I wished it was longer and more developed. Tazz vs. RTC: If your going to make a match on Wrestlemania, give it at least five minutes, c'mon. Good to see these guys make the card though. Kane vs. Big Show vs. Raven: This was sloppy and cheesy... But I loved it. A pretty good hardcore match but nothing to write home about. Test vs. Eddie Guerrero: A pretty good mid-card match, nothing great. Benoit vs. Angle: great technical match, but way overrated. Chyna vs. Ivory: Ugh! DUD if I ever saw one. Get Lita and Trish out there! Vince vs. Shane: Sweet as hell for non-wrestlers. Predictable but a classic none the less. TLC2: Sweet stunts, not quite as good as TLC though... It seemed like the same bumps only slightly changed. Gimmick Battle Royal: Waste of air time that could have gone to Angle/Benoit or Jericho/Regal. HHH vs. Undertaker: A good brawl, good effort by the deadman at his last WM. SCSA vs. Rock: That's it? I said. This can't be the best PPV ever because the main event was terrible. A double blade job and kicking out of finishers doesn't make a great ppv guys: you should know that. Very disapinting for the hype. Overall: Great show with a few lowpoints.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After 16, this is terrific!!
Review: They were hyping this one up for about 9 months, in part due to the poor fan response from 16. Needless to say this one surprised me and kicked me in the .... I love Steven Reagal, Beoit, Jericho, Angle, The Rock, and basically every other mofo on the PPV. The standout matches are Reagal vs. Jerico, Angle vs. Benoit, Rock Vs. Austin, Vince Vs Shane, and TLC 2(but why did all the ECW crackers and Lita have to get involved. When I heard about Austin Vs. Rock I knew the match would change to NHB and ,of course, Austin would somehow win because of his absence, but the outcome surprised me. This PPV has renewed my faith in the WWF!!!
