kliko400 Now this was a very good Wrestlemania in my opinion, not the best that I watched of course but it was still very good & there were definitely some historic matches on the card.FIRST MATCH- MATT HARDY W/ SHANNON MOORE VS. REY MYSTERIO FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP What a better way to start Wrestlemania with the Cruiserweight Championship on the line. Great high-flying spots & great wrestling abilities by both men. Hardy retains his title after getting a roll-up on Mysterio using the ropes. 5/10SECOND MATCH- UNDERTAKER VS. BIG SHOW & A-TRAIN IN A 1-2 HANDICAP MATCH {It was supposed to be a tag team match with Nathan Jones teaming up with Undertaker, but he was knocked out on Heat by the F.B.I who were told by Big Show & A-Train} Not a bad handicap match, but could of been a bit better. Nathan Jones comes out & nails cool karate kicks on both A-Train & Big Show which gets Undertaker to do a Chokeslam on A-Train for the win. 4/10THIRD MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS. LOS GUERREROS {EDDIE & CHAVO GUERRERO} & CHRIS BENOIT & RHYNO IN A TRIPLE-THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Nice triple-threat tag team match which definitely reaches my expectations. All three teams brawl in the ring at one time. Benjmain & Haas get the hard fought victory in this triple-threat tag team match to retain their tag team titles. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- VICTORIA W/ STEVEN RICHARDS VS. JAZZ VS. TRISH STRATUS IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP I'm not really a big fan of Diva matches, but this match was good, really. It was better than the triple-threat match last year at Wrestlemania X8. Trish Stratus gets the win & nails a Stratusfaction on Victoria for the victory to become the new WWE Women's Champion. 5/10FIFTH MATCH- SHAWN MICHAELS VS. CHRIS JERICHO The feud between these two men finally reaches here at Wrestlemania where they both face each other one on one. It was a good match with both men giving everything they got to pull out a Wrestlemania classic. It was pretty long but it was good. Michaels wins after a roll-up on Jericho. After the match a frustrated Jericho attacks Shawn Michaels before leaving the ring. 5/10SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H W/ RIC FLAIR VS. BOOKER T FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP I liked this match as both Booker T & HHH put a very nice World Title Championship match that they could possibly do. Both men who knocked each other down, get up just in time for HHH to nail a Pedigree on Booker T for the win to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. 5/10SEVENTH MATCH- Hollywood HULK HOGAN VS. VINCE MCMAHON IN A STREET FIGHT MATCH Every Wrestlemania match that Vince McMahon is in is definitely good, because he always gets beaten up, bashed & bloody by whoever he is versing. This match was brutal but it was still good. Hogan wins after a Leg Drop on McMahon {Who was busted open during the match} & gets the win after a 3 count as Hulkamania goes wild here at Wrestlemania. 5/10EIGHT MATCH- ROCK VS. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN This is the third time these two men go one on one against each other at Wrestlemania. Their match at Wrestlemania X7 was really good, but this one was okay even though a bit sloppy & slow at times. After Stone Cold breaks out of 2 Rock Bottoms, he fails to break out the third Rock Bottom which Rock nails on him for the 3 count as Rock has finally beat Stone Cold here at Wrestlemania. 4/10NINTH MATCH- KURT ANGLE VS. BROCK LESNAR FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Wow, these two men definitely blow the roof off the arena when they stepped in the ring to go one on one against each other. Both men tried some technical holds & some moves. Lesnar fights out of Angle's holds & nails a second F-5 in the match. Lesnar goes up on top & goes to nail the Shooting Star Press but misses which makes his head bleed a bit. Both men get up as Lesnar finally nails an F-5 on Angle for the win to become the new WWE Champion here at Wrestlemania XIX. What a match, this is definitely the match of the night & probably a Match Of The Year Candidate. After the match both men shake each other hands in respect as both these two men has pulled out a historical match at Wrestlemania. 6/10This was a really good Wrestlemania. Way better than last year's in my opinion {Wrestlemania X8 was last year's Wrestlemania}.Overall: I'll give it 8/10 & a B+

SusanAdebisi This has the grandeur of a proper mania building to a brilliant last half. Cruiserweight title - a good opener getting In as much as possible at a rapid pace. Nice contrast between Rey rey's agile cruiserweight zipping around and Hardy's light heavyweight mix of speed & power. Handicap match - Sadly the weakest match on the card great entrance though. Taker Is good and gets plenty of offence In, Albert Is plain annoying with all his shouting. The tombstone connects properly for a change usually the "victim" tucks his chin In leaving Inches between head & canvas - not A train who visibly gets dumped right on his bonce. Triple threat women's title - Not bad atall with a decent flow aided by the fact all 3 are technically sound. Victoria Is too fine & at the time was doing her psycho bint routine with the Tatu entrance. Trish worked damn hard but lets be honest for real Jazz would destroy both then some, Stevie's chair shot didn't help much either! Triple threat tag championship - very well booked & executed as expected Eddie & Beniot stand out through sheer Intensity. Chavo also looks good until flattened by the man beast. Shawn Michaels/Jericho - Honestly In the long run this match Is hugely underrated In my book on a par with Angle/Hbk 2 manias ahead There's too many counters/reversals to keep up with, many high spots & nearfalls/tap outs. Not a great HBK fan credit where It's due he's nigh on Invulnerable In this, boy can he do drama. Y2J Is even better, the angle that he "wants to be Michael's" Is played out brilliantly as he does EVERYTHING to succeed. Why bother as a cheap shot would have done, great sore loser ending.Heavyweight championship: HHH/Booker - Actually a good match as HHH has to up his tempo, Booker as always gives It all to make It look a genuine contest. He Is either a master seller or he legit can't physically stand by the end despite hitting a sick Houston Hangover. The build up bordered on the race card, certainly portraying Booker as unworthy. HHH plays a straight bat for the most part toning down the arrogance and Flair aside the cheating. Commentary on this Is hilarious (remember when Lawler was good) "Imagine being represented by a champion who's family portrait Is a courtroom sketch"! "I hang out with Booker T, we went to the mall - he tried to pay for everything with cigarettes". Wrong but funny.20 year hype street fight between two 50 somethings - Very watchable In parts lots of the red stuff, great taunt leg drop through the Spanish announce table - worse for poor "amigo" Hugo who like McMahon takes a flush chair-shot hands down. I'm not 11 anymore but surely hulking up now & then Is good for the soul!! Rock/Austin: Take 3 - the usual brawling start before SCSA takes control, Rock works the knee for a bit then fatally dons Austin's bullet proof jacket......and promptly gets served up. Finishers exchanged, a weak spine buster sets up you know what, missed 1st attempt soon rectified for an electrifying moment. Austin being the master of the middle finger no sells the tarted up elbow drop, as well as 2, yes 2 Rock bottom's before Rocky summons the spiritt of the Scorpion King apparently to deny Stone Cold a hat-trick at Wrestlemania. WWE Championship:Angle/Lesnar - some chain mat stuff to open up that Isn't received well. Angle then flicks a switch & becomes a suplex machine rolling Germans, snap, belly to back regular & Inside to out, + more I can't name. Lesnar for the beast he Is takes Angle's offence well & the 2 put together a good main event both kick out of the others respective finishers. After the 2nd F5 (huge pop) Kurt's done for....Brocks lurching towards the turnbuckle... You know the rest a hastily re-arranged climax sees a clearly shaken up Lesnar become the new champ. A high standard of action and many memorable moments ie what wrestlemania's meant to do even If only once a year. Austin/Rock are what made WWF so huge In the late 90's - their confrontations electric, their ongoing feud one of the greatest. Rocky drops the heel persona soon as the match Is done and looked genuinely sad to be walking away. And the shooting star that wasn't - a reminder these guys are seconds away from disaster.

thehardyboyz2043 A great pay-per-view event and one of the best Wrestlemania's of all time, in my opinion. Now on to the match descriptions and comments.1. Cruiserweight Championship: Matt Hardy (Champion) vs. Rey Mysterio- This was a good opener, though it should've been about 4 minutes longer. Finish saw Hardy roll Rey up and use the ropes to retain. 7/102. Handicap Match: Undertaker vs. Big Show and A-Train-An all right match, really should've had 'Taker win by DQ instead of beating two big heels, but the match wasn't all bad. Nathan Jones run in at the end was nice, as was the Tombstone finish. Limp Bizkit doing Undertaker's intro. was awesome by the way. 6/103. Triple-Threat Women's Championship: Victoria (Champion) vs. Jazz vs. Trish Stratus-Not too bad actually, Victoria's actually a decent wrestler, though Jazz is and was clearly the better one here. Finish saw Trish hit a chick kick out of nowhere for the win. 7/104. Triple-Threat WWE Tag Team Championship: Team Angle (Champions) vs. Los Guerreros vs. Rhyno and Chris Benoit-A good though very short match, nothing really noteworthy though. 5/10.5. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho: Great back and forth wrestling contest, actually though Michaels was going to lose, and thought he should've. The finish was nice, a roll-up out of nowhere by Michaels. 10/106. Pillow Fight: Catfight girls vs. Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson-Purely pointless, could've used the time and added it to other matches. 0/10.7. World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H (Champion) vs. Booker T-Pretty good actually, Booker T proved he deserved the title and I wished he would've won, thought he did win, when he hit that sick Harlem Hangover off the top rope. At least the finish was clean, HHH hit a pedigree in the middle of the ring for the 1-2-3, to retain. 8/10.8. Street Fight: Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon-A hugely entertaining match, actually thought this was going to be a sluggish bout, but it stunned me. The leg drop off the ladder from Vince on Hogan was sick. Piper's return was a little weird. Finish came with three Hogan leg drops. 10/109. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock: A good match, and a good way to close out Austin's active wrestling career. Nice to see the Rock go over even though he left a month after this event. Finish came after a third rock bottom to Austin. 8/1010. WWE Championship: Kurt Angle (Champion) vs. Brock Lesnar-A great match, even with Kurt's neck hurting him like who knows what. Great back and forth exchanges, and the botched shooting star press by Brock, was one of the sickest landings I've ever seen in wrestling. Amazingly, Brock got back up, F-5'd Angle and won the title. Afterwards, Brock didn't look like he knew where he was. 10/10Overall I thought this was a great Wrestlemania, all the matches ranged from good to great, except for the Handicap and the Triple-Threat Tag match. 9/10.

Skrogz Almost.The undercard was a blur; matches like the Cruiserweight Championship and the Smackdown Tag Triple Threat were such fast-paced spotfests that you didn't really realize how good they really were until they were finished. Even the so-called "plodding" big men worked out of their tights and kept the fans entertained.Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson are two of the most beautiful women on the planet, and on the other end of the scale, Trish Stratus- who could VERY easily get by on her looks alone, especially the way she looked tonight- worked her butt off in putting on a great match with Victoria and Jazz.The upper card had a distinctly longer and psychological feel about it, particularly the Chris Jericho -vs- Shawn Michaels match, which was probably the best match on the card and proved that as good as non-stop action is, wrestlers don't have to move at the speed of light to entertain the fans. This match was one of the more anticipated on the card, and both men delivered, not "having" but "building" a fantastic match that gripped the fans.Triple H & Booker T worked a simple but effective match, the age old technique of the heel exploiting a face's injury working well. Triple H even broke out an old school Indian Deathlock which is well worth seeing.Vince -vs- Hogan made you want to groan for the first few minutes, but when the action spilled outside of the ring the match was well-planned enough- from a huge high spot by Vince to some of the clever camera work employed to a familiar old face making a run-in- that the match turned out to be quite entertaining.Rock and Austin, whilst pretty much exactly the same as their last two Wrestlemania encounters, needs to be appreciated for what it was: probably the last time we'll see two of the greatest rivals in wrestling history go head to head. With Austin's injuries and Rock's flourishing Hollywood career, this may very well be the case.Finally, the main event of Brock Lesnar -vs- Kurt Angle. While this was a great match between probably the two best in the business at the moment, I don't think it quite lived up to it's expectations of a month ago. Considering Kurt Angle's neck injury and the more careful style of match that they had to employ as a result, the fans already knew this would be the case, so that isn't the reason the match fell short of the mark. It was because _Brock_ fell short of the mark. And you'll know what I mean when you see it. It'll make you want to cry.
