WrestleMania XX

...but not much did.

This was barely an above average Wrestlemania, in my opinion, and pales greatly in comparison to both its preceding and succeeding Wrestlemanias (XIX and XXI). The opening matches were obvious card fillers, other than the surprisingly entertaining US Championship match. The Women's Title match was interesting, and the image of Molly Holly getting her head shaved will be forever remembered.

The main events were also interesting. The Guerrero vs. Angle match for the WWE Title was a bit under-hyped (for a good reason) and, surprising turn-out nonetheless, could've been saved for a later time. Not Wrestlemania XX. As much as I love Eddie and miss him, he wasn't really the best WWE champion I've seen. The Triple Threat Match was excellent, a great choice for the main event, and what I believe is this Wrestlemania's savior from being just mediocre.

The Goldberg vs. Lesnar match was simply horrifying. The last match for these two in the WWE seeing as how both wanted out quickly (Lesnar felt he could do better, and Bill just didn't care for the programming). However, the idea of these super-superstars colliding was one of the many "dream match" entries you'd find on all the blogs all across the internet. The two of them didn't seem to care much for the business anymore, and seemed bored going into the match, not caring about how much the fans thought of it. The only thing that saved this match was the always electrifying Stone Cold Steve Austin as guest referee.

Overall, Wrestlemania XX was probably the last great over-hyped Wrestlemania that the WWE is going to give us. Many people believe that Wrestlemania XXIV was over-hyped, I disagree, only the Big Show vs. Mayweather was over-hyped. Anyways, I'd have to say that the WWE is descending in quality and controversy week by week, and with these latest episodes of Raw that I've seen, Vince knows it.

Oh boy does he know it.

Ill keep this short because I'm in a rush,but most of the matches were the material of a regular show,Smackdown right now is a waste of time and space but as for the most recent wrestlemania,there's one match 1 have a very, VERY bad opinion on,no,not an opinion,a FACT.

Needless to say,the match in question is the one Between Brock Lesnar,And Bill Goldberg,This could easily have been the greatest match in WWE history,forget that goddamn Hulk hogan,hes far too slow,here you have two huge powerhouses,Great athletes,Lesnar Being a wrestling champion(easily the best in the world,in any weight,admitted by even kurt angle)

What we get,while waiting for a monumental performance,is a series of shoulder barges,two spears,and F-5 and a Jackhammer....The match was pathetic..Lesnar was capable for so much more,as was goldberg.

As for the Triple threat main event Between C.benoit HBK and TripleH ,this was an entertaining matchup,Nice moves,and NO interference(Its so boring now)

ALL in all,not bad.

Wrestlemania XX can't be considered as one of the best wrestlemania's that the wwe has put on, but it's safe to say that it's better than most of the ppvs that wwe has been roting our minds with. It was watchble.

John Cena vs Big Show. Us title Everybody knew that Cena was gonna be US champ. But it's was a ok, just to see cena.

3/5

Raw 4 way tag-team match Ok match with a few good moves. Still, can't deny that it was pretty boring. Plus, Booker T and RVD don't make a good tag-team. They're much better as singles wrestler.

2/5

Christian vs Chris Jericho Well worked but stupid ending. Months of working on this fued and booking a match between these 2 guys just to turn trih heel. Isn't that just plain stupid.

3/5

Rock 'n' sock vs Evolution Having Rock 'n' Sock losing to evolution really piss me off. A damn good tag-team having to lose to one of the stupidest stable in the history of wrestling. But, to my amazement, it was a pretty good match.

4/5

Playboy evening gown match The only reason i watch the match is just to kill time and to see 4 babes strip each other. I still can't give myself to put a rating of this match.

Open cruiserweight match Expected this to be good, but it sucked.

1/5

Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar Expected this one to be good aswell. How the hell did it turn to one sucky match? Well, the only good parts were when the whole crowd at MSG chanted "You sold out" and when austin give both Brock and Goldy stunners.

1/5

Smackdown 4 way tag-team match

Is it just me or do the tag team matches at WMXX really bore me. Same rating with the raw 4 way tag-team match.

Victoria vs Molly Holly I actually wanted Molly to win this match but in the end, it was vicotria going out of WMXX with the womans title. Good match with a sweet ending. Molly gettign her head shaven really shocked the crap out of me.

3/5

Eddie Guerrero v Angle

Despites angle's weak heel turn, it was a great match. I actually thought that Angle would win this cos i thought that the wwe dosen't have the faith to put the wwe chapionship title on somebody like eddie for a long period.

4/5

Undertaker vs Kane

Takers return was sweet. I don't care weather other wwe fans think that takers return was dissapointing, it was awesome. I really looked forward to this match. Decent match.

3/5

Triple threat match

I actually thought that this was gonna be a bad match where Trips would retain the title. Thanks to this match, i lost $10 betting that HHH would win. Can easily be said as one of the best match in the card. Benoit has worked hard for the company and he totally deserves winning the heavyweight title at WMXX.

4/5

I didn't lived up to all the hype made about it, butit was decent and watchble, just to kill spare time. Hopefully next years Wrestlemania would be much better.

Ah, Wrestlemania XX. It certainly got it's share of hype, but I really don't think it lived up to it. It just didn't have that feeling of true blue greatness. But hey, it was still a great show and I really enjoyed it. Get the special DVD if you can, the extras definitely make it worth the money.

Opening Matches: Big Show vs. John Cena for the WWE US championship

An OK ''powerful heel vs underdog face'' match. Nothing special, really. But enjoyable.

6/10

World Tag Team championship- RVD & Booker T vs. Dudleyz vs. Cade & Jindrak vs. Renee Dupree & Rob Conway, La Resistance

Again, nothing special. It didn't have any type of drama or atmosphere to it since it was just a thrown up match. Booker cleans house after the match goes berserk and RVD gets the win on whoever, with a five star frog splash. I'm glad Dupree went to Smackdown! along with Jindrak.

6/10

Jericho vs. Christian

Pretty fun to watch match. Christian gets an upset pinfall after a Trish heel turn. It's an overall fun, good match to see. Fine performance by both men, and it's a great moment when Jericho has the Lion Tamer locked in on Christian, who drags himself out of the canvas and to the outside of the ring, however, Jericho doesn't let go of the hold. Pretty cool.

7.8/10

Mid Card:

Rock n Sock vs. Evolution's Ric Flair, Batista, and IC champion Randy Orton

This was an awesome match! Fun as hell. It's great to see the people's champion of today, Rock, imitating the people's champion of the past, Slick Ric Flair with the strut, and then the Nature Boy payed him back with his own version of the people's elbow, even though it doesn't connect. The ending was a huge upset, IMO. I mean, The Rock and Mick Foley come back once a year, and they lose?

8.7/10

Cruiserweight open- Tajiri vs. Akio vs. Shannon Moore vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Bill Kidman vs. Jamie Noble vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Nunzio vs. Funaki vs. Chavo Guerrero for the Cruiserweight championship

Pretty fun match. It should've been HUGE, but it ended up just being a fun little match to watch. Jamie Noble really should've won this, he was in the ring the longest, did a move that was risky as hell (senton to the outside of the ring), received a move that was risky as hell (Kidman SSP to the outside of the ring), and he was the only superstar to eliminate three other cruiserweights (Ultimo Dragon tapped to Pay Dirt, Nunzio got counted out and Funaki was rolled up into pinfall). In the end, Chavo retained thanks to the son of Gory Guerrero.

8/10

Lesnar vs. Goldberg with Austin as guest zebra

It was a fine match, IMO. The crowd gave Lesnar and Goldberg one hell of a spanking, especially to Lesnar. It was a pretty slow match, but it had it's moments, like Goldberg's kickout of the F-5, Goldberg's military press into a modified spear (absolutely awesome move, IMO), and the final jackhammer into pinfall by Bill (I'm a Goldberg fan).

7.5/10

WWE Tag Championship- Too Cool vs. APA vs. Basham Brothers vs. Haas & Benjamin

It was better than the World Tag Contest, since it was just overall a lot more fun. Haas and Benjamin do a lot of cool double team moves, I think Scotty was made to look way too strong for his own good, and Bradshaw does a pretty nice clothesline from hell. The finish was too simple though, Rikishi dropped his ass on whoever and got the pin after cleaning house.

6.9/10

Guerrero vs. Angle WWE Championship

Great match. Best match of the evening right up there with the RAW Triple Threat. Great technical wrestling, great power move spots, great tricky move spots... really awesome. And when Angle went for the German to the outside of the ring... that scared the s**t out of me! Eddie retains after a bit of lying, cheating and stealing.

9/10

Kane vs. Undertaker

A waste of time, IMO. It should've been pure, raw carnage. A true blue battle to the finish. The Undertaker gets buried alive, and this is his great revenge? Pinfall after a tombstone piledriver? Wasn't Kane the one that kicked out of 3 tombstones a few years ago?

5/10

World's Heavyweight Title Triple Threat

Awesome match. So much drama, so much technical wrestling, so much power, so much awe... really, really great. And Benoit finally gets the gold, at Mania, and I would have it no other way. You have to see it to believe it.

9.3/10

Overall show rating... 7.9/10. It really should've been wrestling greatness... but it wasn't. Nonetheless, a great show.

My thought on this wrestlemania was as follows:

the best i have every seen, that might not be much coming from a 2 year wrestling fan but of the 2 iv'e seen, this was the best. My favorite match(other than the evening gown match of course) was the undertaker making his return to the industry. I personally prefer his new look, besides the fact that he used to be a biker and now he's a dead biker(weird)

But over all I would give Wrestlemaina XX a 8/10. Sorry all yal critics I disagree
