Good story, Not enough for a whole film
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
One of the very strong wrestlemanias and a rare wrestlemania ..there were no crap matches.1. Matt Hardy Vs Rey Mysterio7/10 Very good cruserweight action even though Matt hardy isn't a cruserweight.2. Undertaker and Nathan Jones vs Big Show and Albert6/10 Not great, but good limp biz kit performed which made it a bit better, a train doesn't deserve to be in a wrestlemania match with undertaker.3. Victoria Vs Trish Vs Jazz WOMENS TITLE7.5/10 Once again proof Trish is the best diva of all time .looks moves charisma she has it, this was the best womens title match I've ever seen, i don't usually care for the title but i did in this match, the crowd were so into it that the end result was greeted to an enormous cheer from the sacofield crowd, who were awesome all night.4. Charlie Haas and Benjamin vs Los Guerreros Vs Benoit and Rhyno WWE TAG TITLE7/10 Good tag team match normally these tag matches with 3 or more teams tend to suck but this didn't,Benjamin was impressive as was Benoit.5. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho8.5/10 Its Jericho and hbk so obviously your gonna get a blockbuster ,super match with great crowd pleasing ..look out for Jericho's hbk type flip up ...crowd were into it all the way as they were the whole pay per view except for one match which we will get to.6. Triple H Vs Booker T 5/10 Not a very good rivalry ..booker t hasn't got enough fan acclaim to be main eventing against trips at wrestlemania..the result was the most predictable in wrestling history....an average match which the crowd mulled over. NOT GOOD FOR RAW7. Hulk Hogan Vs Vince STREET FIGHT8/10 considering both men are over 50 this was a very good match... the will to bleed was great , the crowd were well into it .sylvain Grenier came out to add some nice toppings....then a SHOCK SHOCK RETURN..watch to see it ...overall a classic street fight from the two men who made wwe what it is today.8. Steve Austin Vs The Rock8/10 Not as amazing as their wm17 encounter but obviously it was still awesome as its rock Austin ..these two click like a mouse..fabulous match..the usual false finishes which add excitement.. crowd was 50 50 which added to the spectacle ...top match9. Brock Lesnar Vs Kurt Angle7.5/10 Not as good as i thought it would be but nevertheless miles better then hhh booker, angle as USUAL performs well lesnar who i always hated up till this match was impressive...plus lesnar almost dies
This was very good. It had the Wrestlemania feel about it.The first match was disappointing as Matt Hardy faced Rey Mysterio. Surprisingly Rey stared at the ceiling but what was most surprising was that the match was only booked for 6 minutes long. The match didn't stand a chance.Next up The Undertaker battled A-Train and The Big Show in a handicap match, which was supposed to be a tag match putting Taker and Nathan Jones together. This was forgettable. Then Victoria, Trish Stratus and Jazz have a triple threat battle, which was OK at the very best.Then Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas put their tag team gold on the line as they defend their titles against Los Guerrero's and Chris Benoit and Rhyno. This was a very good match. Next up two of the best wrestlers on the Raw roster battle it out as Shawn Michaels takes on Chris Jericho in a fine match. It was like watching an older Shawn battling a younger Shawn (Jericho) HBK won.Then Triple H puts his World Heavyweight title on the line as he defends it against Booker T. This was good, and even though Triple H won, I was surprised by the finish, A clean pedigree. I repeat again A CLEAN PEDIGREE! Nope no Flair interfearing! Next up Hulk Hogan battles Vince McMahon in a street fight. This was shocking because 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper returned and turned heel on Hogan. But this was a very good match.Next up 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin battles The Rock. This was OK but there have been more better battles putting these two men together. Rock wins after 3 Rock Bottoms.Next up wrestling fans get their dreams come true as Kurt Angle puts his gold on the line as he defends it against Brock Lesnar. This was excellent but Lesnar nearly killed himself when attempting his shooting star press. Lesnar wins when he F5's Angle.Very good!
This year will be Wrestle mania's 20th anniversary as it all started in 1983, 20 yrs later in 2003 it's still going strong. So far Wrestle Mania has a total of 19 wrestle mania's, next year in 2004 Will be WrestleMania XX (Wrestle mania 20) this will be the 20th video when it comes out in 2004.
This year's WrestleMania was, overall, an impressive affair with 2 excellent matches, a few good ones and only one bad one. Here are the matches on the card (w/ MATCH RESULT SPOILERS).MATCH 1- Matt Hardy vs Rey Mysterio (for the Cruiserweight championship). Good, but short opening match. It's unfortunate that it just goes over 5 minutes, but those are 5 action-packed minutes! Good high-flying (as usual) from Mysterio and Hardy's offense is unique as always (nice Side effect out of the corner.) Matt pulls out a surprising win, reversing a victory roll into a pin. Again, a bit disappointing that it's only about the length of a SmackDown! match. Good though. (7.5)MATCH 2- The Undertaker vs Big Show & Albert. Ugh. As expected, this was the worst one on the card- it's not 100% crap (Taker's fujiwara armbar and jujigatame made it interesting at least). However, as soon as Show & Albert go on the offensive, the match nosedives! 'Taker wins anyhow w/ the Tombstone on Albert. (4)MATCH 3- Trish Stratus vs Jazz vs Victoria (for the Women's title). Pretty good- the end was a bit crap, but the action was good throughout. Nice modified Michinoku driver by Jazz. Trish wins anyway w/ a high roundhouse kick to Victoria. Weak ending. (6)MATCH 4- Team Angle vs Los Guerreros vs Rhyno & Benoit (for the SmackDown! tag titles). Not as good as I expected, but still good nonetheless. The end was also a bit frustrating- Benamin pins Chavo after a Gore. It's good for heel heat, but it's still a bit irritating. (7)MATCH 5- Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho. This was the match I was most looking forward to, and it delivered in a big way! Great action for 20+ minutes and a number of near-finishes (which I always like). Despite falling victim to the Walls, the Lionsault and his own Sweet Chin Music, HBK wins, pinning Jericho w/ a rolling clutch pinning combination. Jericho gets the last laugh, suckering in Michaels after the match with a false display of sportsmanship, then hitting a low blow on his idol. Great match. (9)MATCH 6- Triple H vs Booker T (for the RAW world title). Not a bad match- Triple H executes a mean Indian deathlock and Booker's Scissors kick (which usually is a poor finisher in my view) looks brilliant in this match. Anyhow after plenty more action (including a nice Spinebuster by Triple H and Booker's rolling hangover) Triple H retains w/ the Pedigree. (6.5)MATCH 7- Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon. Better than I expected. Vince's ladder spot shocked me, so too did the appearance of a former Intercontinental champion in one of the worst run-ins EVER! Hogan wins this bloody affair w/ 3 legdrops in succession. (6)MATCH 8- The Rock vs Stone Cold. Also good. The near-finishes towards the end really add to it, with both men using their own, and each other's finishers. It takes The Rock 3 Rock bottoms (the last one is particularly good) to finish off Austin and get the 3 count. Rock finally gets his well-deserved WM win over Austin (who gets a lukewarm crowd reaction it seems). (7)MATCH 9- Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle (for the SmackDown! undisputed title). Great match throughout. Excellent action and a spot that made me absolutely cringe! (The last time I had a cringe-worthy moment like that was when Shane McMahon was belly-to-belly suplexed on his head at King Of The Ring '01!) Lesnar's shooting star press (where he starts nicely, but clatters his head off the mat) was nasty! Amazingly he still manages to complete the match, pinning Angle after a third F-5. Brilliant performance by both men and a terrific main event. (8.5)I definitely believe that this year's WrestleMania outdid last year's. As I said, impressive.
