10)Undertaker vs. Triple H

Here are the results with a review:

Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho def. William Regal

A good opener for a Wrestlemania with a unexpected ending with a small lionsault by Y2J to get the three. Overall ***

APA & Tazz def. RTC

Not a very good match that was slow. It had a nice ending with a huge clothsline on Goodfather to get the three. Every man takes a beating, also Steven Richards gets ddt'd by Jackie. **

Kane def. Raven & Big Show for the Hardcore Title

A great, huge Hardcore match with a huge ending when Kane leaped off the stage and legdropped Big Show for the 3. A huge frenzy back stage and there is no way I could give this match less than *****

Eddie Gurrero def. Test for the European Title

A decent match with a bad ending when Malenko was distracting the ref and Saturn threw the European Title to Eddie and Eddie nailed him to get the 3. ***

Kurt Angle def. Chris Beniot

A great pure wrestling match that deserves more than five stars except for the ending where Angle got a roll up and held the tights to get the 3. **** 1/2

Chyna def. Ivory

A short, bad match that should have been on Raw or something because this was short! The only reason the match went on is because Chyna lifted up Ivory and did a gorilla press slam to get the 3. **

Shane McMahon def. Vince McMahon

An awesome street fight and even better because Trish turned on Vince and slapped him in the face! The best street fight I have ever seen! MUST SEE! *****

Edge & Christian def. Hardy Boyz & Dudley Boyz in TLC 2

Another awesome match that is a MUST SEE. Rhyno was a huge difference maker in this match! I shouldn't spoil you with the details but let me say this, Matt & Bubba Ray's carrer almost came to an end. *****

Iron Shiek won the Gimmic battle royal

A decent match with all the old superstars with a gimmic. The eliminations were as quick a a snap though! At the end of the match Sgt. Slaughter had the Cobra Clutch on Shiek. ***

Undertaker def. Triple H

A awesome brawl after the ref got knocked out by the Undertaker. They took it to the place where Moterhead played Triple H's them song. The ending came when HHH was punching UT on the middle rope and UT lifted him up for the last ride and finally got the 3. *****

Stone Cold def. The Rock for the WWE Championship

A great brawl but who the heck made it No Disqualification match!? Anothe super match until the end where Austin murdered The Rock with the chair until Rock finally gave it up. Shame on you Austin! *****

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Possibly one of the best WWF events ever.
Review: I did have a long review for this show, but then I noticed that the maximum is 1,000 words, so here is the extremely shortened review:

Chris Jericho vs. William Regal: An alright match, but Jericho is capable of so much more. 5/10

The Right To Censor vs. Tazz and the A.P.A.: You really don't expect that great of a match when it features these guys in it. My assumptions are correct and the match isn't that good.1/10

Raven vs. Kane vs. Big Show: A pretty good match that featured lots of nice bumps from Raven. 5/10

Eddie Guerrero vs. Test: A suprisingly good match.6/10

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: When you get both Angle and Benoit in the same ring, you know you're in for a mat classic and an awesome match. They did just that here.8.5/10

Ivory vs. Chyna: The worst match of the night as Chyna basically just squashed Ivory.0/10

Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon: 7/10

The Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz: 10/10

Gimmick Battle Royal: Good for nostalgic purposes, but otherwise it was pretty rushed. 1.5/10

Undertaker vs. HHH: 4.5/10

Steve Austin vs. The Rock: 9.5/10

As you can tell by my summary above, this is an awesome PPV event and is strongly reccomended. Not only can it be considered one of the best WrestleMania's, but it can also be considered as one of the best WWF events ever as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST SPORTS EVENT EVER!
Review: Excitement is once again in the air in Houston, Texas - and yes there is a problem as Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock battle it out for the WWF Gold once again - with the usual Vince McMahon interference, but I won't spoil the aftermath for those of you who haven't seen it!

Other highlights: the ladder match repeating the ongoing battle of Edge & Christian against the Dudley Boyz. The Undertaker vs. Triple H. match-up is one of the best matches ever. Chyna returns to take on Ivory for the Women's Championship. Plus a Battle Royal featuring a surprise return of all of the old-time WWF Wrestlers; Sgt. Slaughter, Iron Sheik, and many others.

GREAT EVENT! BUY IT NOW!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still The Greatest
Review: This is the all time greatest PPV ever made. The story lines were well made and the matches were amazing. It was the last of its kind. The last of the greatest era in wwf or wwe history.

Matches:

1. Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Willam Regal
Jericho saves the match because lets face it Regal is a show killer. Good match not the best but great ending. ***

2. 6 man tag: APA & Tazz vs. Right To Censor
Short and sweet. Tazz gets his butt kicked in this one but it has another great ending. ***

3. Triple threat Hardcore Title: Raven vs. Kane vs. Big Show
Amazing Hardcore title match. Gets the show started. Most of the match is back stage so you can't really hear the crowd. People go through glass, walls and off the stage in this one. *****

4. European Title: Test vs. Eddie Guerrero
More of a Raw or Smackdown match but is worth the watch. ***

5. Single match: Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
Amazing technical wrestling in this one. Slow start but serves its purpose. Almost a perfect match lasting the right amount of time. *****

6. Womens Title: Chyna vs. Ivory
Lasted about 1 minute. Very short which is nice. **

7. Gimick Battle Royal:
Alot of old wrestlers in this one. Fast match the entrances lasted longer than the match. Funny to listen to the special guest anouncers talk. **

8. Street Fight: Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon /Mick Foley= Ref
Awsome street fight. Great father vs. son match With amazing spots and a great story line. Shane flies in this one. *****

9. T.L.C. Tag titles: Dudleys vs. Hardeys vs. Edge & Christian
Just as good as the first if not better. Spike, Lita, Rhyno get involved in this one. Great ladder and tabble action. *****

10. Single match: Triple H vs. Undertaker
One of the greatest matches of all time best match on the PPV. Ref is out cold most of the match so there is sledge hammers, steel chairs and 15 foot high choke slams in this one. *****

11. No DQ WWF Championship: Rock vs. Austin
2nd best match Stole the show with a screw job ending. The no DQ makes it even better with ring bells and steel chairs.*****

All in all an amzing PPV Over all *****

Rating: 5 stars

Phenomenal and has one of the most controversal endings in wrestling history
(5/5)

Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon
Fantastic entertainment, great performances in a match is wasn't going to watch

Triple H and Taker give their best Mania performances, one hell of a slobberknocker and (in my opinion) the best match of the night
(5/5)

TLC2
Dudley Boyz vs. Edge and Christian vs. Hardy Boyz
Wow, what can i say...? wow. This is amazing, one of the best, if not the very best, tag match ever.
(5/5)

(3/5)

Chris Jericho vs. William Regal
Nothing special, but not a bad match
(3/5)

Ivory vs. Chyna
Pointless. But everyone needs a quick tea-break, coffee-break, cigarette break (???) at some stage, don't they?

Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane
One of the best Hardcore matches i ever saw
(4/5)

Test vs. Eddie Guerrero

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good WrestleMania
Review: This one was probably the most intense WrestleMania since 1997 with WrestleMania 13 (though WM 13 is still the most violent in my view). Well, let's get to the matches:

IC Championship:
Chris Jericho (Champion) vs. William Regal - A slow but still interesting match. Decent mat psychology with Regal.

6-man tag team match:
APA and Tazz vs. Right to Censor - Nothing spetacular but was kept short and sweet. Big pop for Bradshaw from the crowd since he's from the state of Texas.

Triple-Threat Hardcore Championship Match:
Raven (Champion) vs. Kane vs. Big Show - Not the best hardcore match but it had its moments, especially when Kane throws Raven through a window!

European Championship Match:
Test (Champion) vs. Eddie Guerrero - Surprisingly good match. Eddie is a great worker but this is one of the better matches for Test.

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - The beginning of their classic series of matches that they have had since this one. This was their best bout until the recent Royal Rumble 2003!

Women's Championship Match:
Ivory (Champion) vs. Chyna - Dreadful match that was kept mercifully short! The only real stinker of the card.

Street Fight:
Shane McMahan vs. Vince McMahan with Mick Foley as ref - Very good match! Shane could be the predecessor to Mick Foley in terms of hardcore wrestling! Vince did a good job as well.

TLC II match:
Hardy Boyz vs. Edge and Christian vs. Dudley Boyz (Champions) - More brutal than their previous TLC encounter at SummerSlam 2000. Not as fast paced as that one but definitely more brutal!

Gimmick Battle Royal - Not a great match but it wasn't meant to be. It was for entertainment and it did deliver that.

Triple H vs. Undertaker - Possibly the best Undertaker bout at WM other than his match with Ric Flair the following year at WM 18!

WWF Championship Match;
The Rock (Champion) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - Probably the most violent WWF/WWE Championship match ever and my favorite Austin/Rock match! Though I am a Rock fan, I do respect "Stone Cold" and this was probably his greatest match Vs. "The Great One." The other two WM encounters were great as well but this one is their best out of the three in my opinion!

Great DVD overall!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hands Down, The Best Wrestlemania of ALL Time!!!
Review: When the event "Wrestlemania" comes to mind, one thinks, spectacle. It's supposed to be the greatest wrestling show of the year, and even though some WM's were really bad, there were also some really good ones. Wrestlemania 17 is by far, the best Wrestlemania of all time. The card is extremely solid and loaded with great matches and it occured during the WWE's purchase of the old WCW. The event still holds a special place in my heart and even after almost three years, I still find it to be the greatest show, let alone Wrestlemania of all time. Below is a list of the matches and how I would rate them on a scale of 5 stars.

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
How can a ppv with Angle/Benoit not be great. Of course, this is well before Angle and Benoit had all their historic matches and it is not as good as their performance at the 2003 Royal Rumble, but the match is amazingly good. ***3/4

WWE Women's championship
Ivory vs. Chyna
Not much of a match. It was basically a beatdown and the revenge of Chyna. Most noteworthy thing is how hot Chyna looks. Match was about *1/2

Hardcore Championship
Kane vs Raven vs Big Show
Really good hardcore match. These three pretty much took a tour of the arena. Really rough hardcore match, with some really good spots. ***

European Championship
Test vs Eddie Guerrero
Pretty average match, since their styles don't really mix. Not bad though, since Eddie is awesome. **1/2

TLC 2
Hardy Boyz vs E & C vs Dudley Boyz
Unbelievable!! If this weren't a WM packed with great matches, these 6 men would've stole the show. They took some real hard bumps. A must see for any WWE fan. As J.R would say, the match looks like a car wreck. Awesome match. *****

6 man tag
APA and Tazz vs RTC
Not a really great match, but not bad either. Average match. **1/2

Intercontinental championship match
Chris Jericho vs William Regal
Good choice for an opener. Jericho is really over here, and he would end up getting a big push during the year's end. Good match by these two as they really pumped up the crowd and gave them a taste of things to come during that night. ***1/4

Gimmick Battle Royal
Not much of a match, but personally, I really liked the idea of having a gimmick battle royal. I got to see some superstars that I hadn't seen in years. Sgt Slaughter, the Iron Sheik, and the goon, just to name a few. It wasn't really a wrestling match, more like a brawl, bit since it was a nice innovative idea, I'll give it **1/2

No DQ
Triple-H vs Undertaker
This match was incredible. I know what you're thinking, Triple-H is slow and the Undertaker sucks. But believe me, this match was incredible. You have to see this match to know how good it was. It was some good wrestling, brawling and some great psychology all packed into one match. While it wasn't the most technical match I've seen, I know that it's one of the best. And that's why it deserves *****

Street Fight w/ special referee: Mick Foley
Vince McMahon vs Shane McMahon
What a brawl. Father and son put together a great street fight. Not the best match of the night, maybe not even the roughest, but certainly, the most emotional. ***1/2

WWE Championship match
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock
Good choice for the main event and a really, really good match too. These guys gave it their all, but one man who wasn't involved in the match turned out to be a huge factor in it. I won't spoil the ending, but all I can say is, great booking. ****1/4

Wrestlemania 17, in my opinion, IS and will always be the greatest WM of all time. Two Wrestlemania's later, the WWE still hasn't topped this event, and I don't think they ever will. Some great matches along with a great ending to a great show.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Biggest 'Mania of them all!
Review: Overview:
The biggest show of the year of the year for the World Wrestling Federation, Wrestlemania, nearly always delivers when it comes to providing a memorable spectacle. The 2001 edition of Wrestlemania, number seventeen (or as the WWF likes to spell it X-Seven), was arguably one of the greatest Wrestlemania's, nay wrestling cards of the modern era.

The Card:

Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho (C) vs. William Regal
A solid opening match, nothing overly amazing, but that is the purpose of the first match. 8/10

The APA and Tazz vs. The Right To Censor
Nothing wrong with this match, with some great displays of athleticism from the big men in parts. 7/10

Hardcore Championship: Raven (C) vs. Kane vs. The Big Show
The WWF's version of hardcore can be described as 'gimmicky', especially when compared with the brand of entertainment that ECW once produced. However this match did entertain, with some great spots that elicit a chuckle. 7.5/10

European Championship: Eddie Guerrero (C) vs. Test
Good match that shows why Guerrero, should at least, be on his way to great things, like a world title. Ruined only somewhat, for the wrestling purists, by the constant outside interference. 8/10

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
Great match by two excellent in ring performers, this would the first of several great matches between the two. The ending was a letdown somewhat, but was done in order to further the feud between these two for the next PPV event. 9/10

Women's Championship: Chyna (C) vs. Ivory
This match was kept short and to the point with the expected result. 5/10

Street Fight: Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon with Mick Foley as Special Guest Referee
While technically not a great match this one delivered in respect its strong story-telling and several unbelievable spots by Shane McMahon. The presence of Foley was a bonus as well. 8.5/10

Tag Team Championship - TLC II Match: Dudley Boyz (C) vs. Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz
Absolute spot-fest galore in this one, amazing match, enough said. 10/10

Gimmick Battle Royal
The 'classic' faces and gimmicks of yester-year return to remind many of a time of wrestling that many are trying hard to forget. Used well as an 'intermission' between TLC II and the two big matches of the night. (For simplicity the names of the competitors have not being listed). 5/10

Triple H vs. The Undertaker
No titles on the line in this one, a well built up match that amazed with action both in and out of the ring. 9.5/10

WWF Championship: The Rock (C) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
The two biggest names of the attitude era go one on one in what would prove to be a great struggle. The crowd was hot throughout this match and helped add to the emotion. The quality of the ending though is something that is still debated. 10/10

DVD Extras:
The extras are somewhat disappointing, given that most are simply taken from within the actual Wrestlemania broadcast itself, such as segments on Axxess and the grudge histories that lead up to the respective matches. The best feature is, arguably, the re-cap of what occurred the next night on Monday night 'Raw Is War'. 3.5/10

Overall:
This was the last great show of the attitude era. After this event, as is well known, the quality of the WWF, later WWE, product began to sour somewhat to what we have today. Watching this DVD in retrospect helps bring back memories of a time when wrestling was at the forefront of pop-culture. While a lack of the back-story leading into these matches takes the shine of the event somewhat (this PPV had arguably the greatest build up to an event ever, especially the main event for which anticipation was at absolute fever-pitch), the point is not lost that this was simply a great wresting show. Highly Recommended.
