Summary: The best wrestlemania yet
Review: With the excitment of the upcoming Wrestlemania XX, why not get a quick appatiser by buying one of the best wrestlemanias in my eyes. It has some of those most awesome all inspiring matches ever seen in wrestling history including: Undertaker vs. HHH, TLC 2 and Rock vs. Stonecold Steve Austin for the world heavyweight title. This is simply spectacular.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Wrestlemania Ever
Review: Brief Introduction

To start, I must say that this is by far the best WWE/WWF event, best Wrestlemania, and best Sports Entertainment event of all time. When my brother and I first viewed this, we were fairly new to the wrestling world, and by the end we were in shock. In this review, I will express points of each match that we particularly liked, however, I will not give any spoilers as to who won the match except in a couple places.

Matches:

Match 1:
Intercontinental Championship Match
Chris Jericho VS. William Regal

As soon as the great entrance to this Wrestlemania ended,which, in all honesty, was good enough to give us chills; going all through the greatest moments, this was the first match that greated us, and at the time, though it was the first match, it was one of the greatest we had ever seen. As soon as the match began, it became obvious that the match would be good, but we had no clue how good. It had a good back story to it, and was able to freshen up the rivalry. (8/10)

Match 2:
APA and Tazz VS. Right to Censor with Stephen Richards

Right to Censor is one of the most annoying groups in wrestling and it was good to see them get into a fight with someone who can hold there own. This match was very fun to watch because APA is always great, and Tazz had one of his best matches. There is a reason they call him the Suplex Machine. (7/10)

Match 3:
Hardcore Championship
Kane VS. Raven VS. Big Show
This match was actually quite funny and entertaining, going all around backstage, using some very creative ways to hurt each other. I can't say much about this match because I ran long on the first two, but it was very fun to watch!(9/10)

Match 4:
Test VS. Eddie Gurrero
European Championship

This was probably my least favorite match at Wrestlemania 17, but that's not saying much, it is definitely worth the time to watch. It couldn't really compare to the other matches, but Eddie was fun to watch of course, and had a good story line going in. I did not like all the outside interference and I must say I didn't think it was very fair. (5/10)

Match 5:
Kurt Angle VS. Chris Benoit

Very good technical match, lacking in some places, but still very entertaining...these two have great chemistry and Kurt was funny. (8/10)

Match 6:
Chyna VS. Ivory
Women's Championship

I said I wouldn't give away any matches, and if you don't want to know, don't read on. Chyna completely dominated this match and if I didn't say who won, there wouldn't be much to say. Very short match. (6/10)

Macth 7:
Vince McMahon VS. Shane McMahon Guest Ref: Mick Foley Street Fight

Great match, lots of action, and great story line. Very controversial story...very good match, very entertaining to watch father and son fight it out, GREAT match, one of the best. (10/10)

Match 8:
TLC Match Edge and Christian VS. Hardyz VS. Dudleys
Tag Team Titles

What can you say about TLC? It was GREAT. Very entertaining and some very creative ideas by whoever put together this match. Looked like a car wreck after the match, and the Hardyz dare-devil style added greatly. (10/10)

Match 9:
Gimick Battle Royal

It was great to see some of the oldies back into the ring, announced by Mean Gean Okerland and Bobby the Brain, it was very fun to watch! (8/10)

Match 10:
Undertaker VS. Triple H

Undetaker is by far our favorite wrestler, and again put on a show at Wrestlemania. Most fans will know who won, since 'Taker has never lost at Wrestlemania, and it went out of the ring in this match. Very fun match to watch take place. Hardcore matchup, ref knocked out through most of match (10/10)

Match 11:
The Rock VS. Stone Cold Steve Austin

One of the greatest matches, many two-counts, even after special manuvers. This was a GREAT match, though it had a dissapointing ending after such a hard fought match. The best match at Wretlemania 17, if not of all time, except for the ending. (12/10)

Conclusion:
This is the best Wrestlemania of all time, and would reccomend it to anyone who says they are a WWE/WWF fan!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Last Show of WWE's Golden Age
Review: What a slobberknocker! Wrestlemania X-Seven was hot from top to bottom. Everything from the action to the twists to the raucous Houston fans helped make this show one of the greatest of them all. I also even recount being blown away by the elaborate stage set and lighting the first time I watched this. Boy, the WWE really knows how to put on a show. Here are the matches:

Chris Jericho vs. William Regal was a satisfying opener, but I wish it got more time. What ever happened to Regal? I miss him. The six man tag match was good for what it was but thankfully kept short. The Hardcore Title brawl was entertaining, especially when Raven takes his bumps. Guerrero vs. Test was your standard match, nothing too special. Now here's when the night gets good...Angle vs. Benoit was one of the best of the night. A great technical clinic with a nice swerve at the end. Okay, I was wrong...next, Chyna vs. Ivory was a dud, but after this throwaway it heats up. Shane O'Mac vs. Vinnie Mac couldn't tell a better story. The insertion of Linda Mac helped generate extra drama and the whole match was exciting. TLC II, just a feast for the eyes, enough said. The Gimmick Battle Royal was just great. You might as well just buy this ppv just to watch the (old) Iron Sheik and (old) Sgt. Slaughter go at it one more time. Triple H vs. Undertaker was surprisingly solid. One of my favorites of the night being that I'm a huge UT fan. The out-of-ring brawling made most of this match. And finally, (arguably) the greatest Wrestlemania main event of all time...Rock vs. Austin was just perfect all around. I hadn't felt so tense watching a Wrestlemania main event since watching Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 12. Just a stunning end, albeit a temporary end, to a legendary feud.

You won't be disappointed with Wrestlemania X-Seven. If you don't own this, you certainly need to!

Summary: A Memorable Wrestlemania
Review: I was there at the Astrodome the night of April 1, 2001 and it was a night I will never forget. I have been to several WWE events the past 15 years and nothing topped the experience of Wrestlemania X-Seven. The event was just awesome and I hope they have another Wrestlemania here someday. I even bought the DVD right away and have watched the many memorable moments over and over again. Nobody does pay per view like the WWE. This show had it all. My favorites were the TLC match, the Undertaker and Triple H match, and the Austin and Rock match. The crowd was so into the Austin and Rock match it was deafening...it reminded me of the response of the Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant bout back at Wrestlemania 3. If not the very best, definitely one of them. If I had to choose 3 WWE shows on my shelf to keep, this would be there. Don't hesitate, just buy it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Wrestlemania 17 Good but wasnt the best
Review: I personally believe that this event was good but it damn not no 5 stars and damn sure not the best wrestlemania of all time. i saw it like 5 times. and when i ordered it on ppv i was kinda disappointed on how the matches went. this is good but i was disappointed with the rock and austin match. it was good but it was bret vs austin all over again. i was disappointed bout alot of stuff on this event if you ask me the best match that stole the show was the benoit and angle match. if those want to know the besy wrestlemania of all time is in my book wrestlemania 14.

Summary: The Second Greatest Pay-Per-View of All-Time, Easily
Review: NOTE: THIS IS THE VHS REVIEW

There is no doubt, Wrestlemania X-Seven is the greatest Granddaddy of Them All. Just six days after WCW's last television program, and right before the Invasion, the worst (up to that time) and most disappointing storyline ever, this was the WWE at its peak, and in hindsight, was truly the end of the Attitude Era. What a way for the Attitude Era to end!

Here are the list of matches, with my star ratings (up/down to *****, DUD means zero stars) and some comments on each of them as well...

Pre-Heat: X-Factor (X-Pac and Justin Credible) v. Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) - Can't rate this match, because I didn't see it, since I saw the VHS version. I do know that X-Pac should have been put into a better match, though. (Winner: n/a)

Opener - IC title: Chris Jericho (C) v. William Regal - Decent opener, but Jericho was wasted because he should have been put into one of the main events. Sure, Regal's a fine technical wrestler, but he's nowhere near Jericho's league. **1/2 (Winner: Jericho)

Tazz and APA (Faarooq & Bradshaw) v. Right To Censor (Bull Buchanon, Val Venis, and Goodfather) - Unfortunately, the best wrestler in RTC, Steven Richards, didn't wrestle. Instead, I had to see BB and Goodfather. I was not impressed. DUD (Winner: I don't even remember)

Hardcore title: Raven (C) v. Kane v. Big Show - What a disgrace to Raven's abilities! He deserves better than Kane and Big Slow, who should NOT have been on this show. Hindsight says that Raven should have gone up against Rhyno, Tajiri, X-Pac, Guerrero, Jerry Lynn, or even Jericho. Fairly entertaining brawl though, due to of course, Raven. ** (Winner: Kane)

European title: Test (C) v. Eddie Guerrero - Guerrero carried Test to his second-best match ever, only worse than Test/Shane @ Summerslam 1999. Once again, hindsight says that Guerrero should have faced a better opponent, perhaps as European champion against Jericho in a unification match, or defend the title against X-Pac or Raven. Perhaps it should have been against his fellow Radical, Dean Malenko, who sadly didn't wrestle on this show. *** (Winner: Eddie Guerrero)

Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle - What a way to begin one of the greatest feuds of all-time! This match was awesome until its lame ending, which prevented it from being a Match of the Decade candidate. A must-see for any true wrestling fan! ****1/4 (Winner: Kurt Angle)

Women's title: Ivory (C) v. Chyna - Ivory deserved better than to be squashed like this. Sure, this took up only five minutes, but I'll never get those five minutes back. -*** (Winner: Chyna)

Street Fight - Vince McMahon v. Shane McMahon (Special ref: Mick Foley) - Very entertaining match! I can't think of a bigger surprise than this match. All of the outside activities and spots were nice touches. Surprise of the night! ***1/2 (Winner: Shane McMahon)

Tag titles - TLC II: Dudleyz (C) v. Hardyz v. Edge & Christian - Easy Match of the Decade candidate. The best match between these three teams, and one of the greatest feuds of all-time at its peak. Nice outfit by Lita, also. ***** (Winner: Edge & Christian)

Gimmick Battle Royal - The only good thing about this garbage is that it had Mean Gene Okerlund and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan commentating. I won't bother listing all of the "wrestlers" in this drek. Instead of seeing matches from Malenko, Steven Richards, Hardcore Holly, X-Pac, Jerry Lynn, Rhyno, Saturn, Crash Holly, Steve Blackman, or Rikishi, we got this. The commentating earns 1/2* for this. -****1/2 (Winner: Iron Shiek)

Undertaker v. Triple H - An entertaining brawl, but Triple H deserved better than to be fed to a has-been Undertaker, who I'm actually a HUGE fan of. I wouldn't have minded seeing a Last Man Standing rematch between HHH and Jericho. Anyways, it was decent, and a nice breather before the main event. *** (Winner: Undertaker)

Main event - WWE title - No DQ: The Rock (C) v. Stone Cold Steve Austin - The best match these two ever had with each other, and the peak of this top ten all-time feud. Unfortunately, it had a terrible ending, thus knocking 1/4* off. I wish they'd had done the Austin-McMahon turn on RAW the night after. But I appreciate what I did see, and that's one of the greatest brawls of all-time, and a Top Ten Matches of the Decade candidate. ****3/4 (Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin)

Well, what a great WrestleMania this was! Three memorable matches, and only two stinkeroos. Any show that contains a ****1/4, a *****, and a ****3/4 easily gets an extremely high thumbs up from me!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Of The Best PPV's Ever!!![.]
Review: Wrestlemania X7 is one of the best PPV's you will ever see. It was held in April of 2001 at the Houston Astrodome in Houston, Texas. The DVD is a two disk set. I will rank and review the matches for you based on a ten point scale.

1. CHRIS JERICHO (VS) WILLIAM REGAL (INTERCONTINENTAL)
Good opening match. The crowd was really into it. Jericho wins it with the Walls of Jericho to retain the title. (7/10)
2. RIGHT TO CENSOR (VS) APA & TAZZ
There were some decent spots in this match, but overall it was disappointing. Right To Censor wins it. (5.5/10)
3. KANE (VS) RAVEN (VS) BIG SHOW (TRIPLE THREAT/HARDCORE)
Good Hardcore match. Raven came in as the champ. Most of the matches takes place in the back. There are some good spots. Raven gets thrown through a window and gets hit by a golf cart. Big Show throws Kane through a wall. Kane throws Big Show off the stage and delivers an Elbow Drop from the stage. Kane gets the 1-2-3 to become new champ. (8/10)
4. EDDIE GUERRERO (VS) TEST (EUROPEAN)
This match could have been pretty good, but it wasn't that good. Eddie Guerrero wins it to become new champ. Disappointing match. (6/10)
5. KURT ANGLE (VS) CHRIS BENOIT
Very good match. These two always wrestle classics. It wasn't one of their better one-on-one matches, but it is still a very good match. A lot of close falls and submission. Kurt gets the pin for the 1-2-3. (8.5/10)
6. CHYNA (VS) IVORY (WOMEN's TITLE)
Chyna absolutely destroys Ivory in this match. She wins it to retain the title. (6/10)
7. SHANE McMAHON (VS) VINCE McMAHON (STREET FIGHT)
This was an amazing match. The crowd was so into it. The crowd was really into this match. It was filled with so much emotion. Trish, Stephanie, and Linda McMahon all make appearances in this match. There are some pretty crazy spots in this match. Shane jumps off the top rope and through an announce table. To end this match Shane delivers the first Van Terminator in the WWE with a trash can. He gets the 1-2-3. (9/10)
8. EDGE & CHRISTIAN (VS) HARDYS (VS) DUDLEYS (TLC/TAG TITLE)
Great match. I thought TLC I was better, but this one is still amazing. Most people think this was the best match, but I thought it was the second best match. There are so many great spots in this match. They are countless. Some of the highlights are Bubba Ray and Matt fall off a ladder in the ring and through four tables that were on the floor. Jeff does a Swanton off a ladder on the floor onto Rhyno and Spike that were on two tables. This match features one of the best moves that you will ever see. Jeff is swinging from the belt suspended above the ring and Edge is on a ladder. Edge jumps off and spears Jeff off the belt down 20 feet to the mat. Edge and Christian wins the belts with the help of Rhyno. (9.5/10)
9. GIMMICK BATTLE ROYAL
It was really cool to see all of these old wreslers. Very nostalgic. Iron Sheik wins it. Other participants were: Bushwackers, Doink, Duke Droese, Nikolai Volkoff, Tugboat, Earthquake, Gobbely Gooker, Hillbilly Jim, Brother Love, Sgt. Slaughter, Michael Hayes, One Man Gang, Kamala, Jim Cornette, and The Goon. (8/10)
10. THE UNDERTAKER (VS) TRIPLE H
This was a great match. It basically turned into a Street Fight. Referee Mike Cioda was knocked out for about 15 minutes. The match went all over the crowd. Undertaker chokeslams Triple H off the sound booth and then delivers and Elbow Drop to the floor. Eventually they get back to the ring. Triple H hits Undertaker in the head with a Sledgehammer. Undertaker wins it after giving Triple H the Last Ride off the top rope. Great match. (9/10)
11. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN (VS) THE ROCK (WORLD TITLE/NO DQ)
Great match. I thought it was the best match of the night. This is one of the most emotional matches you will ever see. There is everything in this match. This match is filled with a lot of blood and close falls. Vince comes out and helps Austin. Shocker!!![.] Stone Cold hits The Rock with a chair repeatedly, but The Rock kicks out. Finally, Austin hits him aobut 8 times. He gets the 1-2-3 to become new champ. Austin and Vince celebrate after the match.

EXTRAS
There are a lot of extras in this match. There are many favorite and greatest moments montages. There is an extra from the next night on RAW as the Two Man Power Trip is formed.

This PPV is amazing. There are so many highlight matches. I think Rock and Austin was the best match of the night, but there could have been three others. I strongly recommend this DVD. You will not be disappointed. It will be one of the best wrestling DVD's you will ever see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Wrestlemania!
Review: As a WWE fan for 13 years now, I'd say this pay per view ranks up there with the very best of them. As it progressed, the event just kept getting hotter and hotter ultimately finishing with arguably the most shocking moment in Wrestlemania history. Top to bottom the matches are extremely solid, maybe with the exception of the Women's Title match, but for the fans' sake, it was fortunately a very short dud. Wrestlemania X-7 probably marked the end of the WWE Attitude Era, and in effect, the last successful run the WWE had, and it went out with a bang.

While almost all of the matches are worth watching, some my favorite matches included Angle vs. Benoit, two of the best wrestlers of our time and it was a technical masterpiece. Vince vs. Shane told an emotional dramatic story where Vinnie Mac was well deserving of some kind of an Oscar for his performance here. TLC II was a bumpfest and all of the competitors deserve a standing O for simply putting their bodies on the line. Plus, I loved the Gimmick Battle Royal simply for its sentimental value, it was like watching an 80s-90s reunion. The brawl between Triple H and Undertaker was brutal and intense as I take my hat off to Trips for putting Taker over. And finally, I will never forget Austin vs. Rock for the WWE Title. The ending is absolutely shocking and what lead to it was tense, dramatic and suspenseful competition that only two icons like these two could carry out. In my view, Wrestlemania X-7 is the best Wrestlemania ever and will be hard to top. Well, let's hope Wrestlemania XX next year does just that.
