Featured reviews
Money In The Bank Ladder Match - As expected it was amazing. Great match with some memorable moments. 9/10
Hall Of Fame - Eddie, we miss you!
Chris Benoit vs JBL - Benoit deserves more than. It wasn't bad, it was rather solid but forgettable. 5.5/10
Edge vs Mick Foley - Foley never stop to amaze and this is no exception. Edge is the future of the WWE (a deserving main eventer compared to the likes of Cena). Brutal encounter with a great finish. + Lita is hot. 8.5/10
Booker T vs The Boogeyman - Boogeyman can't wrestle. Nowadays WWE tend to go for guys with some popular character or commercial attributes instead of real athletes ...that's why WWE has jumped the shark for me...Booker T deserves more. Had its funny moments tho. 2/10 (for the fun)
Trish Stratus vs Mickie James -Good match and Trish was hot as always. Mickie is weird, meaning the girl is doing a good job. 6/10
The Undertaker vs Mark Henry - Not the best Undertaker WM match. Not bad but not great. Taker did his job while Mark Henry was pretty average. Being big and Strong don't necessarily mean you are a good wrestler..WWE has forgot that. Good match by Taker. 6.5/10
HBK vs Vince McMahon - Vince and Shane Mcmahon has always impressed me in matches...this is not exception. Great match with some unforgettable moments. Exactly what i was expecting. 8.5/10
World Heavyweight Championship - Kurt Angle(c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton This not being the main event is literally a screw job! WWE has lost the sense of Main events! 3 great athletes with Angle at his best. It was great to see Angle getting cheered and Rey booed! Finally fans cheering for real athlete, the deserving one. However the match was too short...still great tho. 8/10
Lingerie Pillow Fight - They are all hot. Unrated.
WWE Championship -SHAME!! Complete sell out. The worst thing is that WWE can't stop screwing fans like that and continued to get worst and worst afterward, the main reason I've quit watching. So we get an amazing triple threat before while this is the main event?? You gotta be kidding me. Everybody knew this would never match the triple threat. The ONLY good thing is that Cena was rightfully getting booed. These fans were amazing. The ending was ridiculous...HHH taping out? Give me a break. WWE wants to make an Hogan out of Cena. It got worst afterward..ruined the WWE. I can't believe this main event. We've got Bret hard vs. Michaels, Austin vs. Rock, Austin vs. Michaels, Benoit vs. Austin vs. Michaels and now we got this??????? Even HHH couldn't save it. That was terrible. 1.5/10 (1.5 for the fans booing Cena)
I thought the Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight title was good. The Cena vs. Triple H match was good also. I also like the Money in the Bank match especially knowing that RVD won. The Mickie James vs. Trish match wasn't to bad, neither was the Vince vs. Shawn Michaels match. The Edge vs. Mick Foley match was good.
Some of the disappointing or bad matches was the Boogyman vs. Booker T match. The match was boring. The casket match between Undertaker and Mark Henry wasn't really that good. I did expect it to be good but it wasn't. The World tag- team match was OK, but could have been better. The Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle match was hot, but was boring as hell.
1)Carlito/Chris Masters vs Kane/Big Show
World Tag Team Titles decent match up...good way to kick things off but a little short 7.5/10
2)Money in the Bank
better than last years and Shelton did another cool stunt...great performance by Finally and Lashely and Matt tried hard and Flair never gave up and RVD was just outstanding and won 10/10
3)Chris Benoit vs JBL
United States Title not a bad match...very decent close of being great but decent 7.0/10
4)Edge vs Mick Foley
Hardcore Match awesome match up Foley still has it and Edge damn cant believe the ending o well at least we know Foley still can fight. 10/10
5)Booker T vs Boogeyman
you call this Wrestlemania Teddy Long? 4/10
6)Mickie Jane vs Trish Stratus
Women's Championship
wow what a womens match.....best womens match i seen in years 8/10
7)Undertaker vs Mark Henry
Casket Match decent enough...I really hate Mark henry this could been a lot better if he wasn't Undertaker's opponent why he getting a push he cant fight he too slow. 6/10
8)Shawn Michaels vs Vince McMahan
No Hold's Barred
WOW, WOW, WOW what a match...entertaining and exciting sure Vince barely did anything but nice to see Shawn doing his thing we never seen in a long time....SUCK IT VInce thats what u get for messing wit the showstopper.10/10!!!
9)Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton
World Heavyweight Championship
awesome match but too short and I hate that Rey is the champion now come on??? is this a joke?? 8.5/10
10)Torrie vs Candice Michelle
Langerine Pillow Fight
what? is? this? after a title match 4/10
11)HHH vs John Cena
WWE Title very shocking from the fans... I mean the fans were into this match like crazy..just like Hogan/Rock... but damn I know there some Cena haters out there but didn't have to chant F** YOU Cena he didn't do anything he works out hes very busy..I'm a Cena fan and I was pulling for Cena in this match.Cuz he my favorite no matter what but no respect to HHH I like HHH i really do but I'm in Cena's chain gang but anyways this was perfect way to end the show....the match and the crowd..great main event hope they fight again soon.10/10!!!
Overall:Tremendious PPV 10/10 I def recommend this for a collection and for a WWE fan cause this was just plain great!!!

- Alternate versionsWWE cut out the scene of Mickie James grabbing Trish Stratus' crotch for the DVD release, as Vince McMahon was reportedly very angry with that moment. Mickie was the Heel going into the match and she garnered a Face reaction against the top star of the division, suggesting that she might be more popular than Trish Stratus, and no one else was allowed to be more popular than Trish Stratus.
