wrestlingsitewebmaster Match one pitted Rey Mysterio against his friend and partner, Eddie Guerrero. To be honest this was a minor disappointment. Although one angle was seriously botched, Rey's adjusting of his mask, was distracting to the viewers then it was too him.Next up was the brilliant ladder match which consisted of Kane, Chris Jericho, Edge, Christian, Chris Benoit and the all improving Shelton Benjamin. The match contained less suicidal bumps then Wrestlemania 17 TLC match, but it was a huge enjoyable effort. Edge won the bout.Then Eugene (whom no one cared about) came down to talk about his favourite wrestlemania moment, which sent everyone to sleep. The relief came when Muhammad Hassan came to the ring with Daivari. They attacked poor Eugene, when all of a sudden Hulk Hogan came down and beat the crap out of the two villains. However Hogan did not check on Eugene and he posed for a couple of minutes, which seemed like 5 hours.In match number 3 , The Legend Killer - Randy Orton battled The Undertaker, in a surprisingly good encounter. Taker won when he Tombstoned Orton. Next up was the poor Women's encounter between Christy Hemme and Trish Stratus. This was poor and even though Trish tried to get the best out of Christy, it wasn't good enough. Trish won when she hit the chick kick.Then perhaps the best match of the night, Kurt Angle battled Shawn Michaels. This was excellent and even though these two men aren't in their prime, they showed everyone that age isn't important. Angle won when he made HBk tap to the ankle lock. Then unfortunately, the event goes down hill. The Big Show battles Japanese sumo wrestler Akebono, in a crap sumo match. Akebono won (obviously) when he threw Show out of the ring.Next up John 'Bradshaw' Leyfield battled John Cena in a poor match. Cena hit the F-U on Bradshaw to win the WWE title. However the fans knew that Cena was going to win, and it seemed like someone won a raffle as opposed to winning the title.Then in the main event, Triple H battled Batista in an average match. The match went on for 22 minutes, which was probably long enough in Dave Batista's eyes. Batista won when he power bombed HHH and lifted the World Heavyweight Championship up, but no one cared! Overall 7/10

BigSmoke64 Now readers of Raw Magazine will now I copied that. It was truly are historic PPV and one of my favourite Mania's. It is probably the best one since WM17. Here is a breakdown Match by Match. Match One: Tag Champ vs. Tag Champ: Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio: Both men made really good entrances. The match was lighting quick and if you blinked you would have missed something. Great opener. 9/10 Winner: Rey Mysterio after a 619 Match Two: Money In The Bank Ladder Match: This and the Michaels/Angle match were probably the best of the night. Amazing moves and as guest the young star Shelton Benjamin stole the show. Chris Benoit was so close to getting the case but then Edge hit his arm with a chair and he went to the floor clutching his shoulder/arm. Edge then claimed the Ladder and won. Winner: Edge, 10/10 Match Three: Legend vs. Legend Killer: Undertaker vs. Randy Orton: This was good for a UT match. I am a big UT fan but his moves are not original and its the same rountine every match. When WWE made this match one gimmick was going to be ruined. If UT won Randy Orton's legend killer gimmick would be ruined but if UT lost it would be the end of his WM streak. Taker won after Randy attempted a Tombstone but Taker reversed it and delivered his own Tombstone. Winner: Undertaker after a tombstone. 8.5/10 Wrestlemania Moment: Eugene was talking to the crowd when Muhammad Hassain and Khorsow Divari came out. Eugene got locked in the Camal Clutch but out comes...... Mr. Wrestlemania Hollywood Hulk Hogan. He beats up Hassain and Divari and does his pose just for old times sake. Match Four: Womens Championship Match: Champion Trish Stratus vs. Challenger Christy Hemme: Hemme did well for her first match. It's a shame however there are more talented wrestlers such as Jazz and Victoria who are now at mid-card status just because of Christy. Someone ponited out Trish is the Triple H of the Women's division. That is right. Winner: Trish by a Chick Kick, 7/10 Match Five: HBK vs. Kurt Angle: Wow! This was probably the greatest pure wrestling match of all time. No weapons just pure wrestling. Great performances from both men. Kurt Angle wins by an Ankle Lock. Winner: Kurt Angle Pipers Pit with Stone Cold: Piper welcomes Stone Cold with a slap. Austin returns and the the insults began. Next minute Carlito comes out with his apple talking about who's cool and who's not. Then Piper spits in Carlito's face and Carltio gets Stunnered and then Piper does. Match Six: Sumo Match: Akebono vs. The Big Show: Two fat men wearing thongs. Not my cup of tea. Time to go and get a coffee. Winner: Akebono, 2/10 Match Seven: WWE Championship: John Cena vs. JBL Champion: Short match for a Title Match. Good though I like some matches short and sweet. Well done to both men and JBL gave a good performance knowing that he was going to loose. Winner and new WWE Champion: John Cena. 8/10 Match Eight: Raw Championship Match: Triple H Champion vs. Batista Champion: What a match! Great performances by both men. Lots of bloodshed and a devasting Batista bomb for the win. Winner and new champion: Batista Great event I could watch it over and over again. A+

ChrisTreborn Am a great fan of WWF from the beginning. Now I watch every episode of its event on TEN Sports channel. I was blown away when I heard WWE decided to set their main event of the 2005 WrestleMania 21 in Hollywood, making a tag line "WWE goes Hollywood". I was dying for that larger than life event; but what I got was an ordinary weekend wrestling episode.WrestleMania 21 (Spoilers******) This is my first comment on a WWF/WWE entertainment program, I am hoping it will stand as right as I enjoyed. So here it goes, Continuing from 2005 Royal Rumble, the winner Batista has to fight against his former team member HHH for the World Heavy Weight Title in this event; making it as the main High Light of WrestleMania 21.Plus adding spice to the event we have 7 following matches. First time in WrestleMania History, fight between a tag team members >> Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Misteryio <<. Then getting the agreement for next World Heavy Weight Championship Contender, six people have to fight for their destiny in the Suitcase Ladder Match were the participants are >> Shelton Benjamin Vs. Christian Vs. Edge Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Kane <<. And the angry males like me for the cooling of minds a Divas Fight was set for finding the next Women Championship Winner. Followed with the Stupid Young Boy's dream to beat the Dead Man >> Randy Orton Vs. The Undertaker <<. Then the fight with real life Wrestler Vs fancy Wrestler >> Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle Vs. HBK Shawn Michaels <<. Same generic followed, this time in a Sumo style between two big ones, >> Big Show Vs. Aakimodo <<. Then comes the match to find the Champion of Smackdown >> John Cena Vs. JBL <<. Ending with World Heavy Weight match, we can see some celebrities in the viewer's side like Adam Sandler, C.S.I babe..etc,etc.It was supposed to be the best WrestleMania but it failed to deliver the expected excitement. With minor appearance of old stars like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Piper with surprise cameo of new faces like Mohammad, Eugene and Carlito Cool, the show was weak to suppress the die hard fans like me.In my opinion first mistake was its Ring settings, it has no big expensive ring as I expected. The ring looked ordinary were the slanted path way was the worst part of the building. Second comes the matches. All the matches except the Six Man Ladder match were average or below worst average! The first match Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Misteryio has nothing new, nothing fresh except Misteriyo appeared in new cutting mask and new tight fit T-Shirt which has the picture of his back tattoo. The match between the chicks was too quick and short, it did not deliver the glamour/nudity which every fan expected. I liked Trish Stratus's attitude, I liked her approach to satisfy the meat loving fans even though she appeared in shirt and strapped pant. The match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels was great at the last moments. Kurt Angle did an outstanding performance; I was surprised to see him lifting the Heart Break Kid whole upwards to the backside with his only left hand! Sumo match between real life Sumo championship winner Aakimodo and the WWE big superstar Big Show was fun at a different aspect. Yahe, seeing those fat men in semi-nude was funny, really. And I knew that winner would be Aakimodo, 'cause in Sumo/Asian wrestling there is no faking; they worship the truth in every athletic martial form. The fight between John Cena and JBL was below average, I have seen it a thousand times in Smackdown episodes, shame for them for not bringing something new to a WrestleMania match.The Worst match was between Randy Orton and Undertaker, it sucked, it sucked a lot. From the beginning Undertaker's arrival to the ring in a tiny dolly was silly and sucked me lot. Then after the match started none of the wrestlers rise up to expected levels. Randy sucked in each and every minute while Undertaker failed to show his anger. Before WrestleMania Undertaker made a death message to Orton by slamming Durphy's head in Steel Platform by his finishing 'Last Ride' move. Watching that I expected a war from Undertaker but what I got was LAME FAKED SCRIPTED Fight. It sucked in all means.The best match was the 6 MAN LADDER MATCH. It was really thrilling, after a long period WWF/WWE showed an outstanding match which reminds me the late 80's-90's of Wrestling. Each and every micro second ROCKED! I don't have any prejudiced winner for this match, but watching and enjoying Kane's performance and mannerisms I was hoping for his success. I think he is the real life version of Jason Voorhees! But things went totally upside down when Edge took the last and the best shot of his carrier! Truly it's the Super match of WrestleMania XXI.By the way, last but not least, the main match HHH Vs Batista was simply OK, but not the best or the outstanding. Big fight of WrestleMania which includes Ric Flair with Triple H Vs. Batista doesn't have the 'near the edge experience'. I wanted an ultimate clash between Triple H and Batista. I wanted like this.. a lot of blood run, lot of destruction, a helper intruding fight, wrestle becomes a street fight that penetrates into the viewers, Batista's unseen failing chances and his unforgotten Damaged face!, with a last cutting edge finishing result. Neither the expectations comes true except HHH takes the courage to show his wounded forehead for the loosing of the World title.WrestleMania 21 = Lamed Mania Ever.

BunkhouseTito WrestleMania, live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California was a pretty good show but did not live up to it's tremendous hype. Some matches were pretty bad while others were surprisingly good along with one Match Of The Year candidate. Usually, WrestleMania not only features matches that are built up and you want to see, but also surprise appearances and celebrity guests. This one featured very little extras or surprises, although Hulk Hogan was involved in a nice little spot on the show with Muhammad Hassan and Daivari.Match Reviews. I'll keep them pretty short so I can fit them all on here.TAG CHAMPION VS TAG CHAMPION Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero This match, although very good, was highly disappointing. They seemed a little nervous, which is surprising because of the fact that Eddie was in the co-main event last year and came through with flying colors. Some good spots and some great moves from Rey looked good, but did not compare to their Halloween Havoc '97 match. Rey Mysterio wins by pin.MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH Edge vs Shelton Benjamin vs Kane vs Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho vs Christian This was a pretty good match. Insane moves were sprinkled through the match but due to the over abundance of wrestlers involved in this match, this led to a lot of over selling, especially by the monster, Kane. Overall, an entertaining match. Edge wins by grabbing the briefcase.LEGEND VS LEGEND KILLER Undertaker vs Randy Orton This match was much better than expected. Surprising, Undertaker can still put on a decent match. After some interference from Bob Orton Jr., who was recently inducted into the Hall Of Fame, Undertaker came back to keep his Wrestlemania streak intact at 13-0.WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Trish Stratus (C) vs Christy Hemme Pretty bad, even for the girls. Mostly due to Christy's inexperience I'm sure but I still enjoyed it. Stratus wins by pin.INTERPROMOTIONAL MATCH Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels This was the match that saved the show. It went about 25 minutes and it told a great story. All of their finishing moves were used and ended up stealing the show. The only thing that compares was the Piper's Pit with Steve Austin. Austin wins by submission.SUMO MATCH Akebono vs The Big Show Another horrible match which was all gimmick and hardly any entertainment. Basically, the same sumo matches Yokozuna used to do. Akebono wins to keep Big Show's WrestleMania streak intact at 0-6.WWE CHAMPIONSHIP John Cena vs JBL (C) Pretty basic match. The crowd was not really into this one. I think everyone knew who was winning and were just waiting for Cena to pin JBL. Big pop for Cena afterward. It was pretty cool seeing Cena win his first World Title.WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Batista vs Triple H (C) This was kept pretty short for the main event. Triple H carried Batista pretty well. Not much special here except for seeing Batista win his first World Title. Big pop for Batista afterward as well as he soaked up the cheers afterward.A show with this kind of hype pumped into it has little chance of living up to it. It was decent, but as I mentioned before, the only thing that I considered "WrestleMania worthy" was Angle vs Michaels and Piper's Pit. I give the show 7/10.
