Customer Reviews
one of the best
Some of my fellow reviewers have stated this is the best wrestlemania of them all,they arent far of the mark in all fairness,this has a great card and lives up to the expectations of that card,i aint gonna say its nailed on perfection but i rate this event highly.
The tagline was mania goes hollywood as that was the location of the event,plenty of promos were shot with a homage to films with WWE stars playing roles and this built up the interest levels to feverish highs,the promos all feature on this three disc boxset so dont panic.
The event started off with a bomb with eddie guerrero going up against rey mysterio,this feud in some ways at this point had run its course but this match was mint and the feud went all the way to summerslam on the back of this great performance from both men and yes this was only the beginning.
Next up was a six man ladder match for money in the bank title opportunity to be used anytime within the follwing twelve months,this was a superb match,didnt last too long and was just great and engaging and everyone played their part,everyone.
After a brief time for hulk hogan to come out and whip the crowd into a frenzy we got a great match between the undertaker and randy orton that was again very good,the match changed and shifted accordingly and in the end the outcome although expected was good.
Next up was the ladies match that didnt move blow back anyones hair with its quality really,trish fough christy hemme in a pretty low key match that smacked of filler yet again,oh no.
But,wait a second,an order of majestic heights was about to be restored when kurt angle went up against shawn michaels in a match that many cite to be one of the best of all time and they have a point in saying that,what a contest,what a show,what further proof could you need of the brilliance that the wwe has when all the stars are alligned and the heavens get involved,brilliant.
Next up was a fun pipers pit,not world class or anything but fun with piper interviewing stonecold and carlito coming out to say hello,we then get a match that had some hype but wasnt that great but then again that depends on whether sumo wrestling ticks all your boxes,this was a contest between big show and sumo legend akebono,not my cup of tea really.
Next up we have a title match between the champ JBL and john cena,this is a quick enough match but is high enough in quality even if the ending didnt entirely convince me,that showcased the quality of both athletes.
Finally after the hall of fame ceremony,we get the world title match between triple H and his once evolution partner batista,this was a great match,simple as that really,triple h does not do average very often and he doesnt do it here,batista busts his gut here giving his all in making a match worthy of the occasion,a great all round wrestlemania when you think about it,well done.
WWE Wrestlemania 21 goes Hollywood!
1)Eddie Gurrero vs Rey Mysterio- Good start to kick things off at wrestlemania. A lot of action form these two wrestlers with high flying moves such as 619, monkey flip corkscrew, over the ropes and others. A few submission moves and reveres/counters. It started off well but in the it went slightly slow in the middle of the match but it got better near the end with many near pin falls from both superstars.
Overall rating: 7/10
2)Money in the Bank Ladder Match 1- Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit vs Christian vs Shelton Benjamin vs Edge vs Kane- This was a very good match indeed for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship in the next 12 months. A lot of action in this match form everyone. Amazing athletisism involved, a lot of different fighting techniques and moves and also a lot of ladder activtiy. A flying headbut from Chris Benoit to Kane from the top of a ladder also.
Overall rating:8.5/10
3)Lengend vs Legend Killer- Undertaker vs Randy Orton- Again a good match with counters, reverses, suplexes, body slams and more. It inviolved interference from Cowboy Bob Orton and that was when evryone thought the winning streak was over but no. A chockslam was revered by Randy Orton into an RKO and the Undertaker still kicked out finally eneding it with 13-0 with a reverse move into a tombstone Pieldriver. R.I.P Randy Orton.
Overall Rating:8/10
