WWE WrestleMania XIX Reviews:
One of the great WWE PPV's of all-time. 
2005-04-13 - -"Cruiserweight Championship match"
Matt Hardy vs Rey Mysterio: Wrestlemania 19 starts off with a great cruiserweight matchup that would steal the show on most nights, but this is'nt most nights so it has to share the spotlight with many other great matches. Every part of this match was near perfection and it was exciting for every minute it lasted.
10/10
-Undertaker and Nathan Jones vs Big Show and A-Train: This imeaditly turns into a 2 on 1 handicap match after Big Show and A-Train take out Jones backstage, which is fine by me cause I only really wanna watch Taker anyway. It turns out to be a surprisingly decent match with Taker unsurprisingly giving the best performance. Not a great match by any stretch, but worth a look.
7/10
-"Womens's Championship match"
Trish Stratus vs Victoria vs Jazz: Pretty good women's match, I never walked away from the TV when it was on so thats always a good sign.
7/10
-"WWE tag team Championship match"
Charlie Hass and Shelton Benjamin vs Eddie Gurrero and Chavo Gurrero vs Rhyno and Chris Benoit: Excellent triple-threat tag team Championship match, not a bad performacnce to be seen from either guy here. Another match that would probually be match of the night on alot of PPV's, but not tonight.
9.5/10
-Shawn Micheals vs Chris Jerchio: HBK's first Wrestlemania match in 5 years turns out to be yet another classic in a long line of classics. Jerchio and Micheals are on they're games from both the story telling side of the match and the execution side of things and they leave you wanting to see them go at it again and again when it's all said and done. Possibly the match of the night.
10/10
-"World Heavyweight Championship match"
Triple H vs Booker T: I hav'nt been a fan of Booker T since around 2001, when I thought he started slipping from his "5 time!" WCW Championship form. But he turns back the clock a few years in this match for the most part and pairs with Triple H to deliver a good title match with some exciting bumps. It was probually only the 6th or 7th best match on this PPV, but thats a compliment.
8.5/10
-"Street Fight"
Mr.McMahon vs Hulk Hogan: The match 20 years in the making and if Hulk loses he has to retire. This turns out to be a pretty brutal match and given that the average age of each guy in this is about 53 years old it was as good as anyone could realistically expect.
9/10
-Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Rock: This is Stone Cold's last match to this day, he was in the hospital the night before the match and he still delivers a vintage match vs The Great One. Rock plays the heel really well in this match and gets the crowd into it all the way threw. A very good ending to a very good rivalry.
9/10
"WWE Championship match"
Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle: Angle is schueled to have kneck surgery after this match, so obviously he's less than 100% heading into one of the most anticapted matches of the decade. But since this guy won an Olympic Gold Medal with a "broken freaking kneck", it should'nt come as a surprise that he's one half of another 10 star match. Some great moves are pulled off(or "attempted" to be pulled off in one brutal case)and these guys prove they may be the two most skilled wrestlers in the bussiness. A great main event for a great Wrestlemania.
10/10

Overall rating: 9/10
Wresltemania XIX will be remembered as one of the best ever
2004-08-12 - The specifics of the extras are extremely numerous. Suffice to say that they are somewhat interesting but overall really short and for a WWE DVD I expected a little bit better. Fortunatley the main attraction, the matches of Wresltemania XIX were outstanding. In my opinion as a top to bottom card only Wrestlemania X7 is in the same league by today's standards.
Heat: Lance Storm and Chief Morley vs Kane and RVD (World tag titles):
This match is in the extras section. Not bad at all for a heat match with the Dudley Boys ending up being the important part of the story. On any other show I would have been very upset this was on heat but except for the lame Catfight Girls bit I can't imagine bumping anything else to open up a spot. 7/10
Matt Hardy vs Rey Mysterio (Cruiserweight title):
My biggest comment on this match is it should have been longer. These 2 guys tore it up and I wish they could have done a lot more as both men have proven they can step it up in big match situations. Mysterio proves the golden rule that when you have a severe costume change you're bound to get beat but still a stellar opener. 8/10
Undertaker vs A-Train and Big Show:
Before the show this match was seen as a potential snoring fest but ended up being a great ride. Taker looked phenomenal physically and what's Wrestlemania without a Tombstone? 7.5/10
Victoria vs Trish vs Jazz (Wome's title):
For my money this is the BEST women's championship match in history. All 3 ladies pulled out their A game and the right woman got the win she should have had a year earlier. To this day I have not seen any of these ladies do a better personal performance in the ring. 8.5/10
Haas and Benjamin vs Los Guerreros vs Benoit and Rhyno (Tag Titles):
Benoit and Rhyno are both more suited to singles but hang in with the best 2 teams in the WWE at that time very well. Strong match where even though someone had to lose nobody really suffered from the match which is always a great sign. 8/10
Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho:
The ONLY thing wrong with this match was the proverbial torch should have been passed and was not. But my personal disagreement with that decision aside, this match may have stolen the show. On a card with several "10" matches this one might have just been the best. Simply breathtaking storytelling and flawless physical excecution. 10/10
Triple H vs Booker T (World Title):
This is the best match in the career of Booker T. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand and everyone was behind him. It would have been the perfect time for him to take the proverbial ball and run but alas it was not to be. The finish (not just because of who but how as well) was adequate but prevented this match from being in the same stratosphere as others on this card. Booker proves he belongs in the elite. 9/10
Hogan vs McMahon:
This is the match I thought had the potential to kill the great buildup of stellar matches I had just seen. Instead both guys met the challenge and had a slower but nonetheless memorable match. The blood, the surprizes and even the bumps were at a level I didn't think these guys had in them anymore. Huge props as 2 of wrestlings biggest icons show they still had the magic. 9.5/10
Stone Cold vs The Rock:
If this does end up being the very last match for Austin, he went out on top. These guys have had so many great matches to live up to and delivered in a big time way. They were able to take familiar elements and still create a unique match that had me yelling at the screen for at least the last 5min of the match if not more. It was physical and captivating and a fitting end to this historic rivalry and the career of the Rattlesnake. Rock cements his status as one of the greatest heels EVER.
Angle vs Lesnar:
Sweet. Merciful. Crap. These 2 guys give you every single ounce of their body and soul in this match. Angle does the entire match on a bad neck and still comes through with a match of the year performance personally. And Lesnar gets the job done in the face of his first Wrestlemania and knowing at any time he could cripple Angle. The storytelling is just fantastic and then there's the finish. Lesnar tries to create the greatest finish in Wrestlemania history and ends up nearly killing himself. When he attempted the shooting star I thought he might have killed himself or caused permanent paralysis. And yet even with the improv ending I would still put this match in the top 5 main events at Wrestlemania. 10/10
Almost everything right down to the order of the show just seemed to click. A few of the results seemed to make more political sense than business or wrestling sense but it is the only complaint I have on the show as a whole. Oh that and the whole deal with the Miller Lite Catfight girls who's time should have gone to Mysterio and Hardy. But you can't win em all. If you are even a moderate fan and you don't have this 2 disc set, what are you waiting for????? It doesn't get much better than this.
