Customer Reviews
great and thats that!
wrestlemania 15,the year 1999,live from Philadelphia,6 titles up for grabs in what was a great event let down by one or two matches but essentially a wrestemania great,if we all wear our honesty hats then we know that wrestlemania by that very term means it will be good and this is no exception.
The opening match kicked in with a bang,the now defunct hardcorfe title,meaning no rules folks,pitted the champ billy gunn againts hardcore holly and al snow.The match was fast as one would expect and certainly ruthless,this match didnt last long but the nature of it dictated it wouldnt,in the end the outcome was good and the three wrestlers could walk out with their pride intact.
The tag team title was up for grabs next,the holders owen hart and jeff jarrett fough d-lo brown and test,this match was short but it was clear that owen hart (rip) and jarrett were alot better than their rivals,test never impressed me much and he didnt do anything to change my mind here either,the champs were just great in what we saw here and this team should have went on to become legends but they didnt for various reasons.
A brawl for all match followed,a strange title for a match when it featured two men in a boxing match,wwe star at the time bart gunn against real life super heavyweight boxer butterbean,the match lasted 35 seconds or something like that so the hype wasnt really justified but this was real folks,make no mistakes on that one ,when you see the killer punch you will cower,decent enough then.
The next match was a bit futile,the winner would get chance to be guest referee in the title match between the rock and stone cold,this match pitted mankind against the big show of the corporation,it wsnt great,a little clumsy and stale in parts,the aftermath of the match was more exciting in truth and certainly that made up for it so my complaint ends now.
A fatal fourway match followed for the intercontiental championship followed,meaning that three men had to be eliminated for a winner to be called,the champ road dogg who was a star at the time,went up against goldust,ken shamrock and val venis.This match was good,plenty of individual battles and plenty to keep one interested,this was more like it and a good end to the match,little in the way of compromise,a well worked match.
kane and triple h were up next,this was a good match again with a twist at the end,this is one point that needs to be addressed,this wrestlemania dn its build up in particular was very focused on storyline,the event was packed with it,like a movie almost,this isnt a complaint,just a guideline,its hard to think of a year that had as many twists and turns in storyline that this but all do their job well,the match itself ends good and someone returns back to where they belong here.
next up was the standard womens title match,the holder sable against tori,not great,some good moves,the sable move was always well executed,noted for bringing nicole bass to the wwe for her stint there,she was a female bodybuilder with a mans head if im honest but a new story would follow her arrival,scary looking woman.
shane mcmahon then went up against x pac in defence of mcmahons european championship,this match was filled with sabotage and betrayal and also quality,shane is a fine athlete regardless of what others say,not the most natural looking wrestler by any means but he has talent and the contest is packed with action and near misses and the end may come as a shock for some.
Now,the following match was a bit poor and there havent been too many bad hell in a cell contests,and yes the undertaker does feature,he was at his most evil and twisted in this era and it was up to the big boss man to teach him some manners,in the end this wasnt that great,a few things looked poor,a mistake happened with handcuffs,i dont think that was planned,and the crowd lost interest,the end image is shocking,thats for sure but certainly this was poor enough and perhaps too much was given to the boss man who looked lost here aty times but the undertaker doesnt get off with some criticism,he too was average here.
The main event followed and deserves the praise of the night,what a contest,what entertainment,it had it all,atttitude,fans baying for one man then the next,classic moves,near falls,interference,it was so jam packed that my mind is ready to explode,a cracker ,so good that i watched it again once i finished it,and the outcome was spine tingling,well done to both men.
NOT GREAT
A few good matches. A great main event event. A bit of advise. Buy WrestleMania 16, 17 or 19 instead
good but not great
wrestlemania 15 is a good solid video but it lacks a real
killer match. the main event between austin and rock is the only good match the rest are a bit boring and are all build up. the hell and the cell match between bossman and undertaker was short and pointless there was no need for a five minute hell in the cell match and nothing shocking happened. all the way thourgh the match people were shouting "boring".the kane vs hhh match was ok but it had a good twist at the end. hardcore fans will still buy this video but if you are not one buy other wrestlemania video.
