WrestleMania XIX

Almost.

The undercard was a blur; matches like the Cruiserweight Championship and the Smackdown Tag Triple Threat were such fast-paced spotfests that you didn't really realize how good they really were until they were finished. Even the so-called "plodding" big men worked out of their tights and kept the fans entertained.

Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson are two of the most beautiful women on the planet, and on the other end of the scale, Trish Stratus- who could VERY easily get by on her looks alone, especially the way she looked tonight- worked her butt off in putting on a great match with Victoria and Jazz.

The upper card had a distinctly longer and psychological feel about it, particularly the Chris Jericho -vs- Shawn Michaels match, which was probably the best match on the card and proved that as good as non-stop action is, wrestlers don't have to move at the speed of light to entertain the fans. This match was one of the more anticipated on the card, and both men delivered, not "having" but "building" a fantastic match that gripped the fans.

Triple H & Booker T worked a simple but effective match, the age old technique of the heel exploiting a face's injury working well. Triple H even broke out an old school Indian Deathlock which is well worth seeing.

Vince -vs- Hogan made you want to groan for the first few minutes, but when the action spilled outside of the ring the match was well-planned enough- from a huge high spot by Vince to some of the clever camera work employed to a familiar old face making a run-in- that the match turned out to be quite entertaining.

Rock and Austin, whilst pretty much exactly the same as their last two Wrestlemania encounters, needs to be appreciated for what it was: probably the last time we'll see two of the greatest rivals in wrestling history go head to head. With Austin's injuries and Rock's flourishing Hollywood career, this may very well be the case.

Finally, the main event of Brock Lesnar -vs- Kurt Angle. While this was a great match between probably the two best in the business at the moment, I don't think it quite lived up to it's expectations of a month ago. Considering Kurt Angle's neck injury and the more careful style of match that they had to employ as a result, the fans already knew this would be the case, so that isn't the reason the match fell short of the mark.

It was because _Brock_ fell short of the mark. And you'll know what I mean when you see it. It'll make you want to cry.

My first ever WWE PPV Show, first Wrestlemania show

There are a lot of great matches such as Hogan Vs Mr. Mcmahon, HBK vs Y2J, Triple H vs booker T, The Rock Vs Stone Cold and Kurt Angle Vs Brock Lasnar. All of those are my favorite matches.

This is Brock Lasnar first Wrestlemania.

This was very good. It had the Wrestlemania feel about it.

The first match was disappointing as Matt Hardy faced Rey Mysterio. Surprisingly Rey stared at the ceiling but what was most surprising was that the match was only booked for 6 minutes long. The match didn't stand a chance.

Next up The Undertaker battled A-Train and The Big Show in a handicap match, which was supposed to be a tag match putting Taker and Nathan Jones together. This was forgettable. Then Victoria, Trish Stratus and Jazz have a triple threat battle, which was OK at the very best.

Then Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas put their tag team gold on the line as they defend their titles against Los Guerrero's and Chris Benoit and Rhyno. This was a very good match. Next up two of the best wrestlers on the Raw roster battle it out as Shawn Michaels takes on Chris Jericho in a fine match. It was like watching an older Shawn battling a younger Shawn (Jericho) HBK won.

Then Triple H puts his World Heavyweight title on the line as he defends it against Booker T. This was good, and even though Triple H won, I was surprised by the finish, A clean pedigree. I repeat again A CLEAN PEDIGREE! Nope no Flair interfearing! Next up Hulk Hogan battles Vince McMahon in a street fight. This was shocking because 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper returned and turned heel on Hogan. But this was a very good match.

Next up 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin battles The Rock. This was OK but there have been more better battles putting these two men together. Rock wins after 3 Rock Bottoms.

Next up wrestling fans get their dreams come true as Kurt Angle puts his gold on the line as he defends it against Brock Lesnar. This was excellent but Lesnar nearly killed himself when attempting his shooting star press. Lesnar wins when he F5's Angle.

Very good!

WWE Wrestlemania XIX was the best I have personally ever seen. I have seen everyone, and none can compare. Shawn Michaels v. Chris Jericho was without a doubt the best match of the night, However Kurt Angle v. Brock Lesnar was close. Wrestlemania is truly a celebration of life, and entertainment at its best, buy Wrestlemania XIX, its worth every penny...and more so.

This years Wrestlemania was really good. The best matches of the night, in my opinion, was Shawn Michaels Vs Chris Jericho, Hogan and McMahon, Austin and Rock and Brock Lesner Vs Kurt Angle. In my opinion, the show stealers of the night were Hogan and McMahon and Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. I have never seen McMahon put up a fight like he did up against Hulk Hogan and in the Michaels, Jericho match, every time you thought that Michaels was going to tap, or Jericho was going to get pinned, those two just wouldn't give up, they just kept on going and going and going. Over all this was a good Pay Per View, except for the Triple H, Booker T, World Heavyweight Title match. It would be nice to see Triple H loose for once, or have him compete in a match without Flair in his corner by ringside, or have someone different compete against someone else for the title. Over all good Pay Per View.
