WrestleMania XXX (2014)
Very good show
Stage looked great, atmosphere was great, the opening segment with the three legends was great, truly felt like the 30th anniversary with that opening segment, the card for this show on paper was good, but felt a little bit lacking, luckily mostly all the matches delivered in my opinion, making this card much more fondly remembered and rightfully so as the execution for the most part was well done . For the opening match Bryan vs hhh match was great, the shield match was suprisingly decent despite its length, The Andre match was also decent and enjoyed the body slam spot with cesaro, Cena and wyatt had a decent match with more focus on in ring psychology which was smart in my opinion as it freshened things up. Taker vs Lesnar as a match was BAD, the streak ending was a great moment, whether you think it should have ended or not (I didn't mind that it ended) it's just Ashame the match itself wasn't any good, I know taker had a concussion etc bit still, a disappointing final streak match, the ending with the streak was a great, shocking ahe heartbreaking moment. The divas match never stood a chance, a perfectly fine match but nothing I liked as a match overall. Still nice to see the divas get a main spot on the show despite its placement on said show. Main event with Bryan, Batista and Randy was a very good match, and bryans win is a great end to the show.
Overall a very good show but not great as people say, but definitely one of the better manias in recent memory, a very good show that managed to feel quite fitting for the big 30th edition of the grandest stage of them all that it was built up as.
Best Match: Daniel Bryan vs Triple H
Worst Match: Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar.
WrestleMania X-Seven (2001)
Definitely the best Wrestlemania of all time and possibly the best wrestling event ever put on tv
Yeah this show is fantastic on this show we had 4 great matches?? Like what??? The quality of this whole show was excellent, we had a little bit of everything.
Opening match with regal and Jericho was pretty good, a pretty solid way to open up mania
The apa match was actually decent despite its length.
The hardcore triple threat was actually very good, lots of fun and well put together in a chaotic sort of way but it totally works with what they where going for.
Eddie and test was...ok? Not bad or nothing but pretty dull, Eddie is so talented we all know that and test moves around really good for a big man but for me this didn't click, but not bad, just didn't like it.
Benoit and angle was great, pure mat wrestling while telling a story and throw in the coolest moves from both mens movesets, great match and my favourite one they ever had together to be honest.
Chyna and ivory was ok but nothing special, didn't like it overall although ivory is very entertaining.
Shane Vs vince was pretty good, was a brawl and was entertaining and the spot with Linda is brilliant, pretty good match.
TLC 2 was the match of the night, which is saying ALOT great match, best tlc match I've ever seen to be honest, everyone played there part brilliantly.
The gimmick battle royal was decent, i actually liked it and found it fairly entertaining while some glimpses of legends with some spirit left from there hay day which wasn't that long ago for most of them (which was good)
Undertaker vs Triple H was a great match, pace was fast and intense, both men looking great ,some really good wrestling via hitting big and powerful moves and the brawling was very very well done which I'm glad to say, it was also appropriate for this feud, stuff in the crowd was busy but great, loved the chokeslam, and the brawl on top of the scaffold, also loved when taker jumped off the scaffold, even when they got back to the ring, intense final moments of the match, great match and the best triple h and undertaker match I've seen, certainly there best mania match in my opinion.
Rock and Austin put on a great match, honestly this could have been match of the night but tlc 2 beat it out, the build up promo for this was brilliant, really made it feel like this huge main event because it was! The commentary sold it brilliantly, big fight feel from the entrances and the crowd where hyped for this! The match itself, a mixture of in ring wrestling action and fast paced brawling with brutal weapon shots! Both men work great together, the strikes and wrestling moves they all feel brutal and with so much passion and energy, loved the in ring stuff aswell as the outside stuff the chair shots all feel brutal (because they where!) it all came together to make a great match, the hype was justified, the match was great, not the best austin match I've seen (bret at ss96 or mania 13) but it's probably the best rock match I've seen. The ending is a little underwhelming and obviously wasn't very smart business wise but we can't say it didn't leave an impact, despite how he was booked afterwards, this heel turn isn't inherently bad, if it was booked better afterwards, still didn't ruin the match for me or the event as a whole.
Fantastic wrestling show, brilliantly paced, all the great matches all felt different angle and benoit was pure mat wrestling, tlc 2 was a spectacle full of brutal bumps and well put together tag team moves, taker and hhh was a brawl with some high paced action in the ring and eventually spilling out into the crowd! Austin and rock was the blood feud (literally) over the most important thing the title! Blending high paced wrestling action mainly strikes with some moves that all looked great with brawling and storytelling both men putting all there energy and heart into it and the match looks all the better for it in terms of the action. Not to Mention you got your high flying (Jericho) hardcore (triple threat hardcore) and comedy (gimmick battle royal) there was something pretty much for everyone, it was an amazing show overall.
WrestleMania XXIV (2008)
Great Wrestlemania show top to bottom overall
This was a great wrestlemania , the stadium, the atmosphere and the stage all set this up for the great show it was.
The matches pretty much all delivered we had 3 great matches in my opinion on this card, we had the money in the bank ladder match which was great, the undertaker main eventing against edge in one of the best streak matches, great stuff overall and the best match on the show ric flair vs Shawn Michaels, never expected that to be the last match but yeah, it was a great match and the best retirement match for a wrestler I've ever seen (mania 26s match with Shawn is great too but this is a little better)
The opener Belfast brawl was pretty good, fun and brutal. The umaga vs Batista match was decent, triple threat wwe title match was pretty good too and surprisingly the big show vs mayweather match was actually pretty good too.
The lumberjack match and the ECW title match where both OK but nothing I liked but nothing bad or show ruining either. Stuff with the hall of fame was great as always
Run through
Best Match: Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
Worst Match: Playboy Lumberjack Match Ashley and Maria vs Beth Phoniex and Melina.
