Summary: it's amazing...
Review: Wow, just by watching the introduction to the PPV you know this one is going to be amazing. The people are screaming their throats out, and you can feel the greatness of the WWF. All matches are great, but my favorites are Benoit vrs. Angle, the TLC2, HHH vrs. Undertaker, Reagal vrs. Jericho (to short though), and the main event, this one is just breathtaking, the Rock and Austing gave everything in this one, surprising ending, exellent PPV. It's a must have.

Summary: pretty good
Review: This was a not bad PPV overall. True, there aren't any over-hyped, popular WCW stars (Sting, Goldberg.. etc etc..) but, it is well worth owning.But the real action is at streetbrawls.com Never, in my long wrestling-watching life, would I thought I would ever see WCW/ECW vs the WWF. The RVD (Rob Van Dam) vs. Jeff Hardy match is a classic if you ask me. The bra and panties tag match too! >=) Two of many reasons to own this one of a kind.

Summary: Wrestlemania X-7: The Playground for The Immortals
Review: Wrestlemania. The greatest sports entertainment event. The only ppv that's three months in the making. The 2001 version (WM 17) could possibly be the greatest ppv ever. It's the best of my collection for sure. Never have I seen intensity and athletic ability in wrestling then here.The DVD format of course have some extras you should know about. It's a 2-disc format that split up in a weird way. The event is more or less cut in half between the DVDs. The first eight matches are on DVD 1, the last 3 DVD 2. A far cry from last years Wrestlemania 2-disc. But who cares? Here are the extras: Play It Now: Plays the first 8 matches (DVD 1) or last 3 (DVD 2)as seen live on ppv.
Pick A Fight: Pick a match of your own choosing
Flashbacks: How two wrestlers came to WM
Extra Stuff:
DVD 1: A Benoit interviw, extra match (Grandmaster Sexay & Blackman vs. X-Factor), and video clips of the WWF visiting Ft. Hood and WWF Axxess.
DVD 2: Bushwacker Interview, a WWF New York Clip, the Triple H/Undertaker incident, The Highlight video (usually shows a recap of ppv) and what happened the next night on RAW The first two features are standard. The flashbacks and extra stuff are pretty cool. Unfortunately, the next night on RAW just shows the night in short, edited clips. I would like to see the whole main event of RAW, just like on TV. But enough about the features. You want the matches: 1)Jericho vs. Regal: Intercontinental champ match. These two are good wrestlers but I personally think they lack chemistry, at least in the ring. They tried though and made an okay match. 3.5 stars out of 5. 2) APA & Tazz vs. RTC: An okay match that I think was the best you get from the six. Not to say the six men are not good. Just not in a six-man, brawl-style match. Didn't have a nice flow they usually have in singles (Tazz, Venis) or Tag (APA or Buchanan/Goodfather). 3 stars. 3) Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane: Hardcore champ match. This was pretty hardcore. I rather enjoy the Raven strategy: hit hard, run hard. Showed he's pretty smart. Good pshychology of showing Kane's and Big Show's ability to hurt somebody. Check this match out if you wanna see an interfere-free, first fall wins hardcore match. 4 stars. 4) Test vs. Guerrero: European Champ match. A quailty matched that was well-paced, nice thought out and gave us a pretty cool new move (Tilt-the-whirl to powerbomb. Trust me. It's cool). The match did something Regal and Jericho didn't: show two different wrestlign styles clashing together. Test with his power and strength against Guerrero's speed and technical superiority. 4.5 stars. 5) Angle vs. Benoit: Ever hear the phrase 'For every hold, there's a counter-hold'. Add 'For every counterhold, there's another counter-hold', and you can explain this match. I didn't think you could reverse the anklelock or the crossface, but you can as shown in this match. The technical ability of these two really show off here. Too bad it was slow to start and had a bad ending. 4.5 stars. 6) Ivory vs. Chyna: Women's Champ match. Short and to the point. This match served only to give Chyna revenge and to show her superiority. Nothing more. I have nothign against women's wrestling in WWF but please actually wrestle. I don't like seeing one-sided matches, though annoying Ivory getting pounding is entertaining. 3 stars. 7) Shane vs. Vince: Street Fight w/ Mick Foley as Special Ref. Two non-trained athletes fighting it out = boring right? WRONG! The intesity, excitement and athletic ability (mostly Shane) of these two made this match just as good as the main event. I couldn't believe Shane doing two crazy bumps or Vince's willingness to take one of those bumps. 5 stars. 8) Dudleys vs. Hardyz vs. Edge & Christian: TLC 2! Tables were broke, ladders were climbed, and chair were dented with head prints. Does it get better? Yes. Yes indeed. This mtach was better then the first TLC match because this had different better spots that were well chereographed and timed well. Also, it never looked like they were setting up a spot. Very cool match. 5 stars. Side note: The PPV is split here to disc 2 9) Gimmick Battle Royal: Go over the top to be eliminated. Do you want the whole list of wrestlers? Well, okay: Nikolai Volkoff (The Russian wrestler), Kamala (He rubs stuff on his belly), Kimchee (Kamala's trainer), Iron Sheik (Hated villian in old school WWF), Sgt. Slaughter (Loved wrestlers in his time), Repo Man (Funny gimmick), Earthquake (Big fat guy who sat on you), Gobbledy Gooker (I can't explain), The Goon (Hockey goon), Tugboat (See 'Eathquake'), One Man Gang (Big fat guy who didn't sit on you), Hillbilly Jim (Don't go messing with a country boy), Brother Love ('Taker first manager), Doink (He's a clown), Duke Droese (He's a garbage man), Micheal Hayes (A freebird?), Jim Cornette (The best darn manager ever. . .next to The Brain), The Bushwhackers (You're very deprived if you haven't seen these two). Fun for what it was. 4 stars. 10) Triple H vs. Undertaker: A great match that was overshadowed by the other 5 star matches. I bet you next year, not many people will remember this match. It's too bad. This was excellent. Watch 'Taker chokeslam Triple H 'straight to hell'. It's so cool! 5 stars. 11) The Rock vs. Steve Austin: WWF Champ match. Never before has a match been so personal, so intense, and so wonderfully down that it makes you cheer, boos, and makes you angry at the end of it all. Most of all, it entertains like entertains like no other. This is a match for all ages. It was brutal yet technical, chaotic yet orderly. The pace was perfect and the crowd just made it even better. Watch teh build-up to it and you get even more into it. The storyline wa perfect shown during the match. Stone Cold constantly showed he would do anything to win the belt. The Rock showed he wouldn't give the belt up without a fight. The end will shock you, anger you, and then entertain you. You almost believe that this wrestlign storyline is real!!! 5 stars b/c that's how far my rankings go. Great main event. Great mid-cards. So many 5 stars in one ppv and I rarely give up 5 stars. A must have for any wrestling fan.

Summary: Best Wrestlemania ever
Review: Wrestlemania 17 is easily the best Wrestlemania ever. The only negative thing I can say about it is that Jericho/Regal is too short. Rock VS Austin was an awesome 30 minutes plus match that did a great job at turning Austin into the amazing heel we see every monday and thursday. Angle VS Benoit was a technical masterpiece, like you'd expect. HHH VS Undertaker was much better than expected and was probably a ***.5 match. Shane VS Vince was also way better than it had any right to be. Lots of drama plus Shane uncorked his "Van-Terminator" (Or is it Van-Shaneinator?) TLC II was a fun spotfest that included many innovative ladder spots. The Hardys, E+C, and Dudleys almost killed eachother but had a great match in the process. No other wrestlemania is this good. Although the DVD features are nothing exciting, the real draw is the card itself. If you like good wrestling, it goes no better than Wrestlemania 17.

Summary: This review is not a ripoff of Scott Keith
Review: This is the best Wrestlemania ever. I mean it. It's ALL GOOD. Jericho v. Regal was a decent opener, not show stealing or even a great match for either guy, but hey, it's the opener. RTC's big tag match wasn't bad either and it was over quick. The hardcore match was really funny and Raven took quite a beating. Kane's stage dive was awesome. Test v. Guererro was fast paced and exciting (despite Test getting stuck.) Benoit v. Angle was SO awesome it's hard to describe. It was like seeing Bret Hart reborn. I hope they do more old-school wrestling in the future. Chyna v. Ivory...well, I guess SOMETHING has to be lousy. Lita's a better top woman to have around. The street fight was a big mess, and I mean that in a great way. It was loaded, Shane put on his flying shoes, and did the Van Terminator, which was AMAZING. The TLC match was crazy. Note to ECW: THIS is how you do a spotfest garbage match. The battle royal was funny, but the guys didn't get to showcase their talent. I'd have loved to see a big mass brawl with everyone hitting their finishes. At least Vince is acknowledging his bad ideas. Everyone I was watching it with thought Pete Rose was going to be the Gooker and would challenge Kane for his title. It's kind of sad seeing that tradition skip a year. HHH v. Undertaker was as good as you'll get from Hollywood Hulk 'Taker, and it was solid and the TOMBSTONE returned, baby! Rock v. Austin was one of the craziest smashmouth matches I've ever seen, and it rocked ... despite its lame finish. There wasn't a lot of sports entertainment BS or T&A, which is kind of a shame because it's amusing to have around. Best Wrestlemania ever, buy it!

Summary: Best Wrestlemania of all time, hands down; so so DVD
Review: This was one of the only wrestling events that I watched that actually had me cheering on my feet. I lost my voice at the event! Arguably one of the best Wrestlemanias, this event marks the turning point for the industry, as it was the first pay-per-view that featured the newly purchased WCW, once considered the WWF's rivals. It also brought back many workers who had left the federation, which was unparralleled as the WWF used to wipe all memory of a worker away once the quit or were fired. For old-school fans, this was definately a treat. The main event also began one of the most heated, conterversial and interesting agnles ever - the heel turn of one of the most famous wrestlers ever, Stone Cold Steve Austin. If I had a complaint, I'd say the DVD was a little skimpy on the extras. What they call extras are actually segments FROM the event itself, which is a blatant misadvertisement. Otherwise, great event to have!

Summary: The Return of the Iron Sheik
Review: Yeah, okay, so the Iron Sheik only had a small part, as he took place in the "Gimmick" Battle Royal, but this is just one of the eleven matches that made up one of the best Wrestlemanias of all time. This DVD is packed with lots of wrestling action, and the sound is absolutely superb. The best match of the night had to be Triple H vs. Undertaker. These two took the fighting to a new level and they fought all over the arena. The ending of that match was unbelievable. The McMahon vs. McMahon match with Mick Foley as the referee was also awesome. Not only did Linda McMahon get up out of the wheelchair to slap Vince, but Shane-O-Mac literaly flew from one end of the ring to the other to slam a garbage can into his father's face. Other hilights include the Triple Threat match for the Hardcore Championship between Raven, Big Show, and Kane. It was amazing when Kane ran over Raven's leg with a golf cart. Yes, I am still talking about wrestling! The main event featured the Rock against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, in what had to be the most unexpected turn of the year. This great match lasted quite a while, as both men gave their all, ending the spectacular card nicely. This was a great Wrestlemania, and an even better DVD. This is a must for any fan of the WWF, and that's the bottom line!
