DVD Reviews of WWE: WrestleMania 22
DVD Review: WRESTLEMANIA
Summary: 4 Stars
WrestleMania, the show of shows, the card of cards with the match of matches. Not so much this year, but with some true exceptions. So yea, let's get into it.
Kane and Big Show vs Carlito and Masters - First match of the night, and not a bad one aside from Kane and Show winning, which was a ridiculous decision. Apparently WWE is gonna try and turn Carlito face, which is wrestling talk for theyre gonna make him a good guy. So Kane and Show win this tag team championship match only to lose the titles to the Spirit Squad the following night on Raw. I'm a Carlito fan, so I don't think to much of this match altogether, but it's not a bad match considering. 4 out of 10 stars.
Money In The Bank Ladder Match - RVD vs Benjamin vs Finlay vs Ric Flair vs Lashley vs Matt Hardy. Some good spots in this match from Benjamin RVD and Hardy. See this is the match I would've had Carlito in, win or lose, it was a goof of a decision to not book Carlito in this one AND have him job to Kane and Show. Anywho, a reasonably exciting outing, especially since everyone's favorite wrestler Rob....Van....DAM!... wins after pushing Benjamin and Hardy off a ladder and out of the ring. Hardy takes the bump hard, but Shelton being mr. athletic fanagled his way down. 7 stars out of 10.
JBL vs Chris Benoit - U.S. Title match between two good talents. Benoit is apparently mr. popularity now, and JBL is the king of heel promos. This alone sets up an interesting premise, but then the match starts. Not so hot. Until JBL starts to make fun of the late Eddie Guerrero. I did not like this, but no denying it made the match more interesting. So what happens is Benoit locks in his Crippler Crossface finisher, but it gets reversed and JBL holds onto the ropes to win the US Title. Benoit makes his usual "I got cheated" face after the match as JBL gloats back up the aisle way with his manager. 5 out of 10 stars
Edge vs Mick Foley - Hardcore match. VI-O-LENCE. Folks, this is a good one. imo, not as good as Foley vs Orton, but just by a tad. This ones got thumbtacks, barbed wire, flaming tables, the whole shabang. Weirdly enough I don't remember if there were chairs in this match, but theres a good chance. Both guys are bloody, even Edge's manager is a little bloody after tasting the barbed wire, but Edge wins via the Spear to end all Spears. 8 out of 10 stars
Booker T and Sharmell vs Boogeyman - As you'll prolly hear from everyone else who wrote a review, this match isn't even worth mentioning. 0 entertainment value and just a horrible match to be put on a WrestleMania card. Booker T is another guy who shoulda been in the Money in the Bank match instead of Lashley or Flair, as Booker T is one of WWE's total package wrestlers who is squandered, and this match is a fine example. Guys got mic skills, can put on a great match against all most any wrestler, can get heel heat without using cheap heat, and is also one of the top 3 heels on Smackdown, and the guy knows ring psychology. But alas, they made him and his wife face a worm eating moron in the worst match of the night. 0 out of 10 stars.
Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James - Women's Title match. Here you have two of the best Women's wrestlers in all of North America in Trish and Mickie James. and they deliver in perhaps the best Female's match in WrestleMania history. a few botches, but still very entertaining. The crowd turns on Trish half-way through and starts booing all of her moves. Which is the start of Chicago's skewed cheers for the night. Don't get confused as this isn't a matter of Trish sucking or not being hot, but today's wrestling fans cannot STAND long title reigns, and by the time of this match, Trish was Women's champ for a little over a year. Anyways, Mickie wins after the Mick Kick. 8 out of 10 stars
Undertaker vs Mark Henry - Casket match. Filler match. The ONLY reason this match even happened is to continue Undertaker's little WrestleMania streak. The guy never jobs anyways, but especially not at WM. And this is the case as Taker manages to pick up the huge Mark Henry and tombstone him, and roll him in the casket in a subpar match. funny instance where Taker tries going for his Last Ride powerbomb, but can't pick him all the way up. Cole still tries to sell it, but anyone who knows knows it was just a powerbomb. I don't care much for Taker, and this match was just........ nuff said. However there was one instance where Taker went Old School and launches himself over the top rope over the casket and onto Henry which was pretty cool. Personally, I'd like to see Taker vs Batista at a WM, and we might've seen it at this one had Batista gotten surgery when he was supposed to instead of being a glory hog. 4 out of 10 stars.
Shawn Michaels vs Mr. McMahon - No Holds Barred. I'll level with ya, this match happened because Vince wanted to make up for Austin vs Hogan not happening. And boy did he. If you wanna see a man just get beaten beyond of the point of getting the [...] kicked out of him, watch this match. Chairshots, smashed tables, ladder jumps, trash cans hits, all from the former Heartbreak Kid, i say former becuz hes what like 42 now. but on top of this colossal job, Michaels even takes time out of the match to handcuff and cane Vince's son with a Singapore Cane. Vince is bloody after the beatdown of the night when he gets superkicked and pinned. 6 out of 10 star match
KURT ANGLE vs Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio - WHT Match. On one hand it's good to see Kurt Angle go into WM with a main event title again, becuz Kurt Angle is another Total Package wrestler. On the other, they end Angle's title reign to put over a charity case. And you'll hear it from the crowd if you buy this dvd. Angle is tooooootally the favorite and deservedly so, as we all know how much Kurt Angle rules and it comes off again as Angle dominates this match with his barrage of suplexes and the dreaded Angle Slam. And even makes both Rey and Orton tap out during the match, only to get jipped on both accounts. This match runs about 9 minutes with Rey pinning Orton after the 619 and the West Coast Pop. Also Orton gets in an RKO on Angle at one point in the match. 7 out of 10 star match.
Candice Michelle vs Torrie Wilson - Playboy Pillow Fight. Don't let the name fool you, there is no nudity in this match as the old looking Torrie Wilson beats Candice Michelle with a rollup. This rivals Booker vs Boogeyman in the worst match of the night category. 0.5 out of 10 stars.
John Cena vs Triple H - WWE Championship. The main event for the richest and most prestigous prize in all of Professional Wrestling. If you've been a wrestler who became a household name, you've held this title. Hogan, Andre The Giant, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, to Kurt Angle, Bret Hitman Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, to Macho Man Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho and soon, R...V...D. And now.... John Cena. Good hype leading into this match and the match TOOOOOOOTALLY delivers. In case you didn't already know, Chicago is an ECW town, and it really comes through. Two over the top and oddly good entrances from Triple H and Cena set up the final hype before the match. Now Cena gets booed somethin' fierce in this one. The crowd is about 50/50 but obviously boo's ring way louder than cheers. The crowd rips into Cena with FU Cena chants, but with no abbreviation, and Cena Sucks chants vs the ongoing Let's Go Cena chants. The match on it's own is good, but the crowd turns this match into a must see. As the evil talent squashing Triple H plays to the crowd, and Cena does his best to shrug it off and make it seem like this is the first time this has happened. Just a really fun match to watch, way better than last year's Cena vs JBL and HHH vs Batista main events. Now I know alot of ppl out there don't like Cena, but cheering Triple H? That suprised me. I knew Cena would walk out of WM with the title and I wasn't disappointed as I knew WWE wouldn't put over a bad guy with the nickname "the King of Kings" in the main event on the biggest stage in all of wrestling. not THIS year anyways, as HHH debuted his King of Kings moniker just two months before. Backlash, well that's another story, I think HHH will walk out of Backlash with the title, but on this night, at the Granddaddy of em all with the Title of all Titles on the line, Cena defeated Triple H with the STFU submission move in a match that just ruled. 9.5 out of 10 stars.
Overall a 6 or 7 star WrestleMania. Not the best WM of all time, but by no means the worst. Near Future predictions, HHH wins the title at Backlash, RVD wins it at ECW One Night Stand, then drops it back to HHH, becuz HHH has issues with burying talent, at either Vengeance or the final Raw before the July SmackDown ppv. And then Cena wins it back at SummerSlam in Boston a month before his movie comes out. How do I know this? Because I know wrestling :)
