WrestleMania XX

My thought on this wrestlemania was as follows:

the best i have every seen, that might not be much coming from a 2 year wrestling fan but of the 2 iv'e seen, this was the best. My favorite match(other than the evening gown match of course) was the undertaker making his return to the industry. I personally prefer his new look, besides the fact that he used to be a biker and now he's a dead biker(weird)

But over all I would give Wrestlemaina XX a 8/10. Sorry all yal critics I disagree

Ill keep this short because I'm in a rush,but most of the matches were the material of a regular show,Smackdown right now is a waste of time and space but as for the most recent wrestlemania,there's one match 1 have a very, VERY bad opinion on,no,not an opinion,a FACT.

Needless to say,the match in question is the one Between Brock Lesnar,And Bill Goldberg,This could easily have been the greatest match in WWE history,forget that goddamn Hulk hogan,hes far too slow,here you have two huge powerhouses,Great athletes,Lesnar Being a wrestling champion(easily the best in the world,in any weight,admitted by even kurt angle)

What we get,while waiting for a monumental performance,is a series of shoulder barges,two spears,and F-5 and a Jackhammer....The match was pathetic..Lesnar was capable for so much more,as was goldberg.

As for the Triple threat main event Between C.benoit HBK and TripleH ,this was an entertaining matchup,Nice moves,and NO interference(Its so boring now)

ALL in all,not bad.

I got WrestleMania XX as a Christmas gift, and it was pretty good. It's not the best WM, but it's up there (WrestleManias 17 and 19 were better). Here are my thoughts on the matches:

Contains Spoilers:

WWE United States Championship: Big Show Vs. John Cena

Big Show gave the doctor of thugonomics a couple of good shots, but Cena managed to beat him after 2 FUs. The first one Show kicked out of, but John hit the 2nd one after striking Show w/ one of his Word Life brass knuckles. 4/5

World Tag Team Championship: Fatal Four Way Match: Rob Van Dam/Booker T Vs. Dudley Boyz Vs. Garrison Cade/Mark Jindrak Vs. La Resistance

Decent match, with Booker and RVD retaining the gold. 3/5

Chris Jericho Vs. Christian

Great match between the former friends. The CLB wins after Trish interferes and accidentally hits Jericho, allowing Christian to roll up Y2J for the 3 count. This would be the start of Trish's heel run. 4/5

2-3 Handicap Tag Team Match: The Rock and Mick Foley Vs. Evolution (Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and Batista)

The Rock returns to the ring to team up with Rock and Sock tag team partner Mick Foley. While the Rock electrified the crowd w/ the People's Elbow (and adding in his version of Flair's strut for good measure), he and Foley lose after Randy hits the RKO on Foley (who tried to use Socko). 5/5

Playboy Evening Gown Match: Sable and Torrie Wilson Vs. Stacy Keibler and Miss Jackie

The Raw and SmackDown! divas never cease to amaze me. Even though the 4 of them don't really wrestle, I loved the match. Instead of having to defeat each other by tearing off their gowns, Sable suggests that they all take their gowns off and wrestle without them (in lingerie). All of the divas are all for it, except Miss Jackie, who had to have hers torn off by Torrie and Sable. After a few near falls (some very nice roll ups), Torrie pins Miss Jackie, giving her and Sable the win. 5/5

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Open: Chavo Guerrero Vs. Jamie Noble Vs. Funaki Vs. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Rey Mysterio Vs. Nunzio Vs. Tajiri Vs. Shannon Moore Vs. Billy Kidman

A pretty fast-paced match, but I think it was over too quick. Chavo ends up retaining the title after his dad helps him pin Rey Mysterio. 3/5

Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar: Special Guest Referee: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin It's not as bad as some people have said. Sure they didn't do much for a moment, but they started to battle later. Goldberg wins after a Spear and Jackhammer. Austin then stuns Lesnar and Goldberg. 4/5

WWE Tag Team Championship: Fatal Four Way Match: Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi Vs. APA Vs. Basham Brothers Vs. Benjamin/Haas

Same comments as Raw match, the champions retain their titles. 3/5

WWE Women's Championship: Victoria Vs. Molly Holly

If Molly loses this, she gets her head shaved. Molly tries to use Victoria's Widow's Peak, but Victoria counters w/ a backslide pin, thus winning the match. Molly tries to escape from Victoria, but it's to no avail. Molly got what she deserved. A very close shave, you could say. lol 4/5

WWE Championship Match: Eddie Guerrero Vs. Kurt Angle

A great match. Eddie and Kurt pulled out all of their best moves in this one. I thought the match was over when Eddie hit the frog splash. Unfortunately, Kurt kicked out. Eddie would retain his title after cheating (unlacing his boot) and rolling up Kurt. 5/5

Undertaker Vs. Kane

Not their best match, but close. It was also a little rushed. Taker's new look is okay, but I prefer his 1999 Deadman look. Kane would fall to the Taker after getting the Tombstone. 3/5

World Heavyweight Championship: Triple Threat Match: Triple H Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Shawn Michaels

These 3 are some of the best superstars in the WWE today, although I'm not a fan of H-Boy. There were times when 2 of the men would briefly team up (HHH and HBK suplex Benoit through an announce table), but still it was every man for himself. The 3 men gave all they had in this match, and eventually Benoit would win after putting the Crossface on H-Boy, making him tap out. After the match, Eddie would come out and embrace his friend for his victory. 5/5

Ah, Wrestlemania XX. It certainly got it's share of hype, but I really don't think it lived up to it. It just didn't have that feeling of true blue greatness. But hey, it was still a great show and I really enjoyed it. Get the special DVD if you can, the extras definitely make it worth the money.

Opening Matches: Big Show vs. John Cena for the WWE US championship

An OK ''powerful heel vs underdog face'' match. Nothing special, really. But enjoyable.

6/10

World Tag Team championship- RVD & Booker T vs. Dudleyz vs. Cade & Jindrak vs. Renee Dupree & Rob Conway, La Resistance

Again, nothing special. It didn't have any type of drama or atmosphere to it since it was just a thrown up match. Booker cleans house after the match goes berserk and RVD gets the win on whoever, with a five star frog splash. I'm glad Dupree went to Smackdown! along with Jindrak.

6/10

Jericho vs. Christian

Pretty fun to watch match. Christian gets an upset pinfall after a Trish heel turn. It's an overall fun, good match to see. Fine performance by both men, and it's a great moment when Jericho has the Lion Tamer locked in on Christian, who drags himself out of the canvas and to the outside of the ring, however, Jericho doesn't let go of the hold. Pretty cool.

7.8/10

Mid Card:

Rock n Sock vs. Evolution's Ric Flair, Batista, and IC champion Randy Orton

This was an awesome match! Fun as hell. It's great to see the people's champion of today, Rock, imitating the people's champion of the past, Slick Ric Flair with the strut, and then the Nature Boy payed him back with his own version of the people's elbow, even though it doesn't connect. The ending was a huge upset, IMO. I mean, The Rock and Mick Foley come back once a year, and they lose?

8.7/10

Cruiserweight open- Tajiri vs. Akio vs. Shannon Moore vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Bill Kidman vs. Jamie Noble vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Nunzio vs. Funaki vs. Chavo Guerrero for the Cruiserweight championship

Pretty fun match. It should've been HUGE, but it ended up just being a fun little match to watch. Jamie Noble really should've won this, he was in the ring the longest, did a move that was risky as hell (senton to the outside of the ring), received a move that was risky as hell (Kidman SSP to the outside of the ring), and he was the only superstar to eliminate three other cruiserweights (Ultimo Dragon tapped to Pay Dirt, Nunzio got counted out and Funaki was rolled up into pinfall). In the end, Chavo retained thanks to the son of Gory Guerrero.

8/10

Lesnar vs. Goldberg with Austin as guest zebra

It was a fine match, IMO. The crowd gave Lesnar and Goldberg one hell of a spanking, especially to Lesnar. It was a pretty slow match, but it had it's moments, like Goldberg's kickout of the F-5, Goldberg's military press into a modified spear (absolutely awesome move, IMO), and the final jackhammer into pinfall by Bill (I'm a Goldberg fan).

7.5/10

WWE Tag Championship- Too Cool vs. APA vs. Basham Brothers vs. Haas & Benjamin

It was better than the World Tag Contest, since it was just overall a lot more fun. Haas and Benjamin do a lot of cool double team moves, I think Scotty was made to look way too strong for his own good, and Bradshaw does a pretty nice clothesline from hell. The finish was too simple though, Rikishi dropped his ass on whoever and got the pin after cleaning house.

6.9/10

Guerrero vs. Angle WWE Championship

Great match. Best match of the evening right up there with the RAW Triple Threat. Great technical wrestling, great power move spots, great tricky move spots... really awesome. And when Angle went for the German to the outside of the ring... that scared the s**t out of me! Eddie retains after a bit of lying, cheating and stealing.

9/10

Kane vs. Undertaker

A waste of time, IMO. It should've been pure, raw carnage. A true blue battle to the finish. The Undertaker gets buried alive, and this is his great revenge? Pinfall after a tombstone piledriver? Wasn't Kane the one that kicked out of 3 tombstones a few years ago?

5/10

World's Heavyweight Title Triple Threat

Awesome match. So much drama, so much technical wrestling, so much power, so much awe... really, really great. And Benoit finally gets the gold, at Mania, and I would have it no other way. You have to see it to believe it.

9.3/10

Overall show rating... 7.9/10. It really should've been wrestling greatness... but it wasn't. Nonetheless, a great show.

Wrestlemania was good but failed to live up to the hype

Match Reviews

**Spoliers**

John Cena vs Big Show: Decent opener crowd was into Cena and nice to see him pick up his first title at Wrestlemania XX 3/5

Raw Tag Title Match: Boring match with little to build up. A shame to see two talented performers like RVD and Booker T stuck in a tag title match 2/5

Chris Jericho vs Christian: One of the best matches of the night and the Trish heel turn was great too, too bad the feud dragged for many months after this 4/5

Evolution vs Rock and Foley: Good midcard match, nice to see The Rock and Foley back in action and Ric Flair's antics were hilarious, love the Nature Boy elbow!!! 3.5/5

Evening Gown Match: Good to look at but crappy wrestling 1/5

Lesnar vs Goldberg: Terrible match only thing that saved it was the New York City crowd telling the two how much their match sucked 1/5

Cruiserweight Championship: Some good action but it was far too short. Such a shame as the cruiserweights could steal the show if given the chance 3/5

Smackdown Tag Title Match: Same as the Raw title match but the crowd was totally dead for the entire match, Rikishi and Scotty are past their prime 2/5

Women's Championship: Decent women's match but Victoria and Molly could have had a much better match than this. Was shocked to see Molly get her head shaved!! 2/5

WWE Championship: Good match but not of Wrestlemania main event quality, nice to Eddie's title reign continue on longer though 4/5

Undertaker vs Kane: Undertaker's entrance was awesome but after that the match was was total borefest with the same boring big man moves, would have been nice to see Kane get the surprise win instead 2/5

World Heavyweight Championship: Awesome match, best of the night. Great to see Benoit get some credit for his hard work and even better to see HHH actually tap out cleanly!! 5/5
