The greatest WrestleMania of all time.

10

By Coen68, Feb 13, 2007

This WrestleMania will go down as one of the best WrestleManias of all time. They made the match card very well. History is made at WrestleMania. Shawn Michaels jumps off the huge ladder right through the table and on the trash can that had Mr. McMahon's head inside. The Undertaker becomes 14-0, extending his impressive undefeated streak. Rey Mysterio's dream comes true by capturing the World Heavyweight Championship. John Cena retains his WWE Championship by making Triple H tap out. The Money In The Bank ladder match was very exciting. Rob Van Dam does the Five Star Frogsplash off the ladder. Greatest WrestleMania ever.moreless

The biggest Pay-Per-View in the WWE....and it lived up to all of the hype.

10

By lightning_kf, Dec 19, 2006

I have always loved WrestleMania. It seems the best of the best happens from this particular PPV...and this one was no exception.

Kane and Big Show retain the World Tag Team titles against Carlito and Chris Masters. The better tag defense between the two of them since the other teams on Raw were rather weak. 7/10

This Money In The Bank Ladder Match wasn't as good as last year's, but it was great nonetheless. Best moments of the match would always be Shelton Benjamin's athleticism involving ladders and Rob Van Dam. And RVD won, which is even better. 8.5/10

JBL and Chris Benoit was all right. I just didn't like the fact that Benoit lost. 7.5/10

Mick Foley and Edge delivered one hell of a hardcore match. Ashamed Edge won cause I hate him, but the match was great. Something you would see in an ECW match, not the WWE's version of "hardcore." 9/10

Booker T and Sharmelle Vs Boogeyman? What the hell is that doing on a WrestleMania event? Poor. Even worse, Booker lost. Boogeyman, my tail. Booker deserves better than this. 1/10

Trish and Mickie was a surprising match. Trish was getting booed by the fans, yet they cheered everything Mickie did. Note: Mickie was supposed to be the heel. Shows you how backwards the roles were, huh? But still, a great match with 2 women that can wrestle. 7.5/10

14 wins at WrestleMania for The Undertaker after stuffing the "World's Fattest Man" Mark Henry in a casket. The match was short, but the win and ending was worth it. 7/10

Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon was one-sided, yet the beating McMahon got along with J.R's commentary made this a rather funny match to watch. Moment of the match was that flying elbow off of that HUGE ladder. Unbelievable. 7.5/10

SmackDown's main event at WrestleMania. It was fast paced, just like Mysterio and a lot of intensity, just like Angle. Orton was just a fill-in. In the end, Mysterio became the NEW World Heavyweight Champion. Good for him. I wanted him or Angle to win anyways, not Randy Orton. 8.5/10

The Women's Championship maych was worthy of being called a great match. Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson in a Playboy Pillow Fight match is not. This crap should NOT be in a WWE ring. Nothing but two talentless bimbos wasting time on a Pay-Per-View. -10/10

The main event and match of the event. For the first time ever, Triple H and John Cena in the ring at WrestleMania for the WWE championship. The match was superb, the fan reaction was amazing and the ending was a shocker: HHH tapping out to Cena. During the whole match, the cameramen were good enough to show us the reaction of several fans. It was amazing. A "match of the year" candidate for sure. 10/10

So there you have it. Another perfect WrestleMania from the WWE. Next year's WrestleMania is going to return to Michigan after 2 decades in an outdoor arena. What will happen at WrestleMania 23? We will have to see.moreless

bit better than last year but still not as good as those of old

8.2

By cybercontroller, Sep 23, 2006

Last year had half a good card but ended with 2 very lackluster title matches. This year had good matches throughout but none really great. I supposed I'd put Edge/Foley as my fav of the night. I was expecting greatness from Angle/Orton/Rey & it was very good but seemed short. Guess they had to make room for Cena/HHH, too bad as I thought they could have been as good as Benoit/Michaels/HHH of 2 years ago. Money in the Bank wasn't as good as last year's but I'm happy RVD finally gets his shot, long overdue. Taker had another good run thru, at least he's letting it seem his opponent could win. The woman's champ match was better this year due to there being an angle to it other than who's sexier. But then comes the waste of time Playboy Pillow Fight match in which no pillows were used. Nice looking girls to be sure but I can watch the real Playboy channel for that, give the other matches more time instead!!!moreless

Wrestlemania 22, The 21st Time that the WWE title has been defended at wrestlemania, it was awesome!!!!!!!!

9.5

By eddie_gus_145, Sep 13, 2006

Big Time! That's Exactly what I thought of Wresltemania 22, even though the men/women who left wrestlemania 22 with gold have lost it in under 5 months,( Women's, World Heavyweight, WWE, World Tag team, United States ) I enjoyed all of the matches, especially The Playboy Evening Gown Match LOL, anyway, I thought it was special when Rey Mysterio won The World Title, and Chavo and Vickie Guerrero came out to congratulate Rey, and when P.O.D sang his theme song, kind of how Motorhead Sang Triple H's last year, I also liked The Money in The Bank Match, i was kind of pulling for Matt Hardy to win it though, all in all, it was amazing.moreless
