WrestleMania 21 Reviews:
A pretty good Wrestlemania with lots of extras
2009-09-09 - This was the first WM I watched on DVD. And I liked it! It's pretty good. I love the Hollywood theme cos the mock movie trailers are great. But more about that later.

Let's have a rundown:

The show opened with Lilian Garcia singing "America The Beautiful." I'm not American, but Lilian sung the song gorgeously.

Then we get a really cool intro video with Stone Cold Steve Austin starring as a gladiator.

Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero
These two have had many, many matches together and this is yet another good one. Although this one loses some points due to the fact Rey kept adjusting his mask every 10 seconds, and it was slower then other matches they've had. But it was an awesome way to open the show, with a pure wrestling match. (3.5/5)

Here we had a confrontation between JBL (who had Orlando Jordan with him) and Triple H (who was accompanied by Ric Flair), Raw and SD's respective champions. They mocked one another, and said that they'd be champion at the end of the night. This amuses me because ironically neither of them were champion by the end of WM because both John Cena & Batista beat them. I loved Ric's little "woo!" to JBL at the end xD

Money In The Bank Match
Edge vs Chris Jericho vs Shelton Benjamin vs Chris Benoit vs Christian (w/ Tyson Tomko) vs Kane
The first MITB match, and one of the best. This is a match full of amazing moments, and every man gets a chance to shine. But I think the real star was Shelton, the man pulled some death-dying moves during the match. I loved how during Kane's entrance the ladders were on fire, and how everybody else attacked him before he even got to the ring. The only downer here was that Edge won when Chris Benoit was so close to the briefcase. But overall, a fantastic match. (4.5/5)

After MITB, Eugene came out to the ring and said how excited he was to be at Wrestlemania, and that his favourite WM moment involved King Kong Bundy & midgets. Muhammed Hassan & Daivari came out to ruin the fun. Hassan yelled at Eugene, asking why he thought he was angry. Eugene amusingly replied "You don't like midgets!" which cracked me up. Hassan got mad and said that he didn't like being left out of WM, then he and Daivari attacked Eugene. This brought out Hulk Hogan to the rescue, who disposed of both men. I'm not a fan of Hogan, but it was good to see Hassan & Daivari get beaten up.

The Undertaker vs Randy Orton
This match was pretty good, but started a little slow for me. Randy's Dad, Cowboy Bob Orton makes an appearance but gets beaten up for his troubles. The ending sequence was fantastic, especially when Randy tried to do the Tombstone but Taker reversed it. Good wrestling on display from both men, but ultimately it was 13-0 to Taker at WM. (3.5/5)

WWE Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (champion) vs Christy Hemme (w/ Lita)
The first title match of the night, and frankly, it wasn't good. I admired Christy's determination and enthusiasm to learn how to wrestle (and she looked hot), but it was way too soon for her to be in a title match, especially at WM! Trish kept the pace going and pulled some alright moves out of Christy, while Lita provided drama at ringside. Trish won, and retained the title. (2.5/5)

Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle
Match of the night! I've never been a big fan of Angle, but he impressed me here. And of course Shawn is one of my all time favourite wrestlers, and he lives up to his Mr Wrestlemania name. A great back and forth match, with a good amount of mat wrestling and high flying moves (mostly from Shawn). There were so many moments where either could have won, but Angle pulled it out in the end, and made Shawn tap out after a excruitatingly long time in the Ankle Lock. (5/5)

Next we had a look at one of the Wrestlemania 21 movie parodies. This one was the Basic Instant parody, which was very funny. Stacy Keibler starred as the criminal, with Chris Benoit, Christian and Chris Jericho as the interrogators. Stacy was really hot, and the bit when Christian said "I love you" cracked me up. There's also some funny aftermath with Mae Young and the Fabulous Moolah which causes the boys to throw up. Very funny stuff.

Next we had Rowdy Roddy Piper hosting a special edition of Piper's Pit. The special guest was everybody's favourite Hall Of Famer, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold & Roddy traded insults and lines until Carlito interrupted and tried to be funny. In the end, Stone Cold stuns both Carlito & Piper and has a beer bash.

Then they show my favourite of the parodies, the Taxi Driver trailer. This one is soooooo funny, I laugh everytime I see it. You see lots of WWE superstars saying the famous "You talking to me?" line, while some have problems. Big Show can't get his shot done as first he's too tall for the shot, then his jacket rips then he gets hit in the head with the microphone - then when they finally go to take it, he's cut off xD Batista also has problems as he doesn't understand the line, he asks the director the line but when the director says "You talking to me?" Batista misunderstands and thinks he's actually asking him that xDD Then at the end, Batista comes along and is asked why he's there and he finally replies "You talking to me?" xD It's hilarious, I can never get tired of this trailer, ever. Definitely watch this one!

Sumo Match
Big Show vs Akebono
What the heck was this? Big Show was wasted here, instead of giving him an actual match they put him in a silly sumo wrestling match that was only 5 minutes long. Akebono easily wins, although Big Show manages to lift him. They shake hands afterwards. Watch this once, and then skip it every other time. (1/5)

WWE Championship Match
JBL (champion) vs John Cena
I love John Cena to pieces, but this match wasn't good. It was slow, sloppy and John wins out of the blue. The only redeeming feature of this match was that it ended JBL's incredibly boring title reign, and give John main event status. Otherwise, this is a very disappointing match. I do like John's celebration after he wins, he's genuinely pleased to win. (2/5)

Then the 2005 WWE Hall Of Fame is introduced, with the WWE Divas accompanying them out. It was an awesome way to give them some recognition.

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H (champion) vs Batista
This match was much better then the WWE title, but it wasn't Triple H and Batista's best match together (their best match was Hell In A Cell at Vengeance 05 in my opinion). But still, I was thankful this was the last match instead of JBL/John. Motorhead played Triple H's entrance music, and I think they sounded terrible. The match itself was pretty good, Batista beat the snot out of Triple H towards the end of the match. Ric Flair gets involved, but that isn't enough to stop Batista, who wins the WHC. (3.5/5)

This 3 disc set is packed with extras, let's check them out:
Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood movie parodies

All the trailers they made, including the two shown on the show. The Taxi Driver parody is still my favourite, but they're all good. Highlights include Eddie Gurerro & Booker T as FBI agents (Eddie: "You know what they call Wrestlemania in France? Wrestlemania" xD), Kurt Angle with hair in a When Harry Met Sally parody, Eugene portraying Forrest Gump and William Regal shouting "Run, Eugene, run!" and Triple H putting on a pretty good Scottish accent for a Braveheart parody. There's also a behind the scenes video of the making of the parodies with some funny moments - including somebody yelling "You suck!" at Kurt Angle and Ric Flair falling off a horse.
There's three career highlight videos for Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle and The Undertaker. Taker's one showed all his previous Wrestlemania opponents and counted down from 12 to 1.
There's two videos on the media apperances leading up to WM, where the superstars meet fans and have fun, and also a acappella performance of Motorhead singing Triple H's theme tune, while Triple H nods along with them.
Then there's the pre-show battle royal where all the wrestlers who didn't get on the card participated in. It's a lot of fun and should have been on the main card instead of the Sumo match. There's many funny moments, but in the end Booker T wins.

Disc 3 contains the whole 2005 Hall Of Fame ceremony. Superstars inducted were Cowboy Bob Orton (inducted by his son Randy), Nikalai Volkoff (inducted by Jim Ross), Jimmy Hart (inducted by Jerry Lawler), the Iron Sheik (inducted by Sgt Slaughter), Paul Orndoff (inducted by Bobby Heenan), Roddy Piper (inducted by Ric Flair) and Hulk Hogan (inducted by Sylvester Stallone).
Highlights were the Iron Sheik's speech, everybody was laughing throughout it. Bobby Heenan also provided many laughs (especially when he said right after the Sheik finished, "I have no idea what he just said!"), while Ric Flair told some funny stories about Roddy Piper. And I have to admit, I'm not a huge Hogan fan, but I gained a lot of respect for him after hearing his induction speech.

Overall, a fantastic DVD release from the WWE, jampacked with extras, and a pretty good WM. Overall, it rates at 4 stars.

It was good
2008-03-05 - The event was good. Considering how much I liked 22 and disliked 20, I expected something in the middle.


Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio
Classic match. WWE-style booking has been tossed aside for more high-impact style, faintly reminiscent of WCW's cruiserweight division, and becomes something spectacular. (10/10)


Money in the Bank
Edge vs Christian vs Shelton Benjamin vs NO ONE vs Kane vs Chris Jericho
Typical of these numerous man ladder matches, it was a spotfest, but an entertaining one at that. It had more time to spend than the one from Wrestlemania 22. Didn't exceed such things as, say, the Tables Ladders and Chairs matches between the Dudleys, Hardys, and Edge and Christian. (9/10)


Eugene comes out, Muhammed Hassan and Daivari come out to beat him up and complain that they weren't a part of Wrestlemania. Hulk Hogan comes out and beats them up, because Hulk Hogan is American, and they are not. Hassan comes from some crazy Arab country called "Detroit, Michigan" and Daivari is from an even crazier Persian country called "Minneapolis, Minnesota".


The Undertaker vs Randy Orton
Master of the Chinlock, stilted. mechanical. promos, and allegedly using a diva's gymbag as a toilet, Randy Orton against Undertaker. Orton wasn't going to win this match, and anyone who thought otherwise was clearly out of their mind. They put on a boring match saved only by... well, it wasn't saved. (4/10)


WWE Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (C) vs Christy Hemme
I don't remember this one. Which is both a good thing (it wasn't horrible) and a bad thing (it wasn't good). (4/10)


Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle
The build-up to this match was amazing. You would almost believe these two legitimately hate each other. And how does a man who hates another man attack him? Put him in a series of headlocks lasting just under 10 minutes nonstop. That's right. Aside from that abortion of restholds put on by Michaels, the match became a classic, and kept us on edge with its ending. (9/10)


Piper's Pit with Stone Cold Steve Austin. What the hell happened here. Apparently Austin was some sort of "rebel" in the WWE, and to sum it all up, Austin gives a stunner to Carlito and Roddy Piper.


Sumo Match
The Big Show vs Akebono
Big Show gets thrown the hell out of the ring and shows us a lot of his bare inner thighs. (3/10)


WWE Championship Match
John Bradshaw Layfield (C) vs John Cena
This was that match which started the infamous Cena period of nearly infinite title reigns and infinite title shots when he didn't have it. It is of my firm and unwaivering opinion that Cena is the worst thing to happen to wrestling since The Great Khali, Gobbledygooker, Katie Vick, Ed Ferrara's "Oklahoma", David Arquette, and Vince Russo after 1999.

This match had December 2 Dismember tendencies... specifically the match between Balls Mahoney and Matt Striker, in which Balls got maybe 4 offensive moves in, while Striker dominates him the entire match, and Balls suddenly wins out of nowhere.

In this same way, not only did JBL DOMINATE Cena virtually the ENTIRE match, but he actually impressed me, a hardened disillusioned smark, with some of the absolute BEST wrestling I've seen Layfield do in his ENTIRE career. This was a glorified squash match with a twist ending which sees Cena randomly catch JBL in a generic stuttering Fireman's Carry (also known as foo, or "FU") and win the title. (3/10)


World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H (C) vs Batista
Motorhead's Lemmy shows he cannot physically learn the lyrics to Triple H's theme music, in a repeat performance of their bombing of HHH's entrance at Wrestlemania X7.

The match, meanwhile, was classic Triple H and that monster heel Batista I came to love in late 2003. It was no classic match or purist dream, or even a brawl. It was a solid power match with heavy emphasis on strength, endurance, and muscles. Great way to drop a title, something Smackdown totally bombed with in the WWE championship match. (8/10)


Seriously... what was with the WWE Championship match? As much as I hate Cena, I have to say that the way they gave him the championship was the equivalent of Mikey Whipwreck winning the ECW Championship. They made Cena out to be the clumsy, trash-talking oaf who can't back up his words, and only won by accident.

Aside from that, and other things, it was a good event.
