The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania

Sure this is disappointing and sure the match card did not live up to its hype but by golly it is not the worst wrestlemania ever! Match #1- MITB Ladder match- Probably the least of my favorite MITB matches but it was still a great way to start the show particularly from Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin's performances. 8/10 Match #2- A diva battle royal match to declare wrestlemania queen or something like that- Abmysal 0/10 Match #3- Chris Jericho vs. Legends Stemaboat,Piper and Snuka- This put me back into the show. Ricky Steamboat looked tremendous.WOW! 7.5/10 Match #4- Extreme Rules match- Hardy vs. Hardy- While it lacked surprises, it sure did deliver some shock and AWE moments. The Hardy that won deserved to win. 7.5/10 Match #5- Intercontinental Title match- JBL vs. Mysterio- Like last years ECW title match I cannot rate it. However, JBL was hilarious and Mysterio had an awesome outfit.

Mtch #6- Undertaker vs. HBK- This is the greatest wrestlemania match ever and one of the greatest wrestling matches ever to see again and again. You will be literally on your for feet the entire time and I was just exhausted after this match. Wish I can rate it 100/10 but of course 10/10.

Match #7- 3 Way World Heavyweight Title match- Edge vs. Big Show vs. Cena- Very good triple threat title match 7/10.

Match #8- WWE title match HHH vs. Orton- I've read reviews for this match and it wasn't horrible it was just not the right way to end the show and I agree Taker vs. HBK should have ended the show but this wasn't a complete waste of time. It has its moments but this main event is far from great and it is the least favorite main event since Wrestlemania 21. But overall over decent match. 6/10.

The performances of Taker and HBK obviously saved the show but other reviews said it was one of the worst wrestlemanias of all time-I absolutely don't agree with that. This is a very solid show saved from being decent. OVERALL: 7/10

'WrestleMania 25' is supposed to be a grand affair, a brand which has been the most prominent affair in the history of WWE. But sadly the event doesn't live up to its mark.... Minus HBK vs Undertaker, no other match makes you go wow!! WM 25 could've been the best event ever, but sadly it joins the league of events like 'Summer Slam', 'Royal Rumble' and 'Survivor Series', not WM.

Things which left a mark: HBK vs Undertaker. The-duo once again proved that they are the true legends of WWE, delivering a fantastic match. Easily, The best WrestleMania in recent times. The Showstopper and The Deadman deserve a standing ovation for their contribution in WWE. Mickey Rourke's cameo was entertaining, knocking Y2J down.

The disappointments: Everything else. The Money In The Bank match was plain mediocre. Y2J vs The Legends was good, not great. The match reminded me of RAW. Triple H vs Randy Orton was a yawn. The built up for the match was instigating, but the result was narrow. Santina winning miss WM was unintentionally funny. Jeff vs Matt was boring, ditto for the other matches.

Being a hardcore fan of WWE since childhood, I expected a lot from WM 25, but sadly it didn't reach my expectation. HBK vs Undertaker, will surely be remembered as one of the greatest matches of WWE history. The performers didn't disappoint, the event did.

This year the grandest stage of them all (Wrestlemania) went to Houston, Texas where the most classic Wrestlemania in history took place. The opening match was the Money In The Bank Ladder Match which featured Mark Henry,Kane,Christian,CM Punk,Finlay,Shelton Benjamin and MVP, definitely one of the highlights of the night when CM Punk stepped out the winner for the 2nd time. The next match featuring Intercontinental Champion JBL and the No.1 Contender Rey Mysterio,before Mysterio could even warm up JBL leveled Mysterio with a giant boot. Everyone thought it was over, but it wasn't Mysterio got up hit the 619 and splashed JBL to pick up the 21 second win and his first Intercontinental title win. After the shocking victory JBL grabbed a mic. and said the shocking and rare words.......'I QUIT!!!!'.The next contest was an intense contest between former WWE champion Jeff Hardy and his brother and former ECW Champion Matt Hardy which started 3 months earlier at the Royal Rumble. The contest wasted little time in brutal violence as both men quickly took it to the EXTREME....with tables, ladders, chairs (OH MY) both brother punished each other until Matt Hardy hit a twist of fate with Jeff tangled in a steel chair to pick up the win. Next was the 3-on-1 handicap match between Y2J(Chris Jericho) and Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper and Ricky Steamboat, the match started with the legends ripping Y2J apart but Piper and Snuka were quickly eliminated for the match then it was Steamboats time to shine. As he hit a huge combination of moves involving a cross body, DDT, missile dropkick and several suplexes. Minutes later Y2J hit a codebreaker and picked up the win.The next contest was 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels looking to end the 16-0 streak of THE UNDERTAKER who at that time had never been able to beat Shawn Michaels one-on-one. Both men entered the ring and pushed each other to the limit Taker' powered out of several submissions and hit Michaels with several blows all over the body Michaels did whatever he could to avoid Taker' but nothing worked. The action intensified as Taker' leaped out of the ring onto his neck giving Michaels some momentum Taker' hit a last ride and a tombstone but Michaels shockingly kicked out,Taker' then caught Michaels in mid - air and hit a 2nd Tombstone for the win.The World title match a triple threat match featuring Edge, John Cena and THE BIG SHOW! All 3 men immediately took each other to the limit with everything in there arsenal but at the end Cena FU'ed both men at once to pick up a huge win and his 2nd World Heavyweight Title. The next and final contest featured a match 5 years in the making with 2 former friends and partners WWE Champion Triple H and the No.1 Contender Randy Orton in a completely personal rivalry. The match started unusually with Orton hitting the RKO and Triple H hitting the Pedigree, Triple H and Orton quickly took each other to the limit. Minutes later Triple H hit Orton with a punt and then a quick Pedigree to win and retain his WWE Championship.

WrestleMania 25 (The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania) was a spectacular event that truly captured the grandeur and excitement of WWE's biggest stage. With an electrifying atmosphere, iconic matches, and unforgettable moments, this show lived up to its legendary status!

The absolute show-stealer of the night was The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels. This match is often regarded as one of the greatest in WrestleMania history, with flawless storytelling, jaw-dropping near falls, and an emotional rollercoaster that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Two legends at their very best!

The Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship featuring Edge, John Cena, and Big Show brought high-energy action and impressive moments, especially Cena's incredible display of strength.

Randy Orton vs. Triple H for the WWE Championship carried a deeply personal storyline, making for a compelling main event filled with intensity and emotion.

The event also featured the return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, celebrating his Hall of Fame induction with an epic beer bash, giving longtime fans a nostalgic moment to remember.

From top to bottom, WrestleMania 25 was a fitting tribute to 25 years of greatness, with a mix of classic rivalries, technical masterpieces, and the grand spectacle that defines WWE's biggest night.

I don't care what the fed' are trying to call the show. It's "Wrestlemania 25" and it's the 24th anniversary of Wrestlemania because that's how the English language and time works.

This show came from the Reliant Stadium, in Houston, Texas, in April of 2009. The cards consists of an 8 Man 'Money in the Bank' ladder match. A Miss Wrestlemania battle royal. Chris Jericho against Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat and Roddy Piper. Matt Hardy against Jeff Hardy. JBL against Rey Mysterio. The Undertaker against Shawn Michaels, Edge vs John Cena vs The Big Show and Triple H vs Randy Orton.

The show consists of one all time classic, a couple of other solid matches, some decent moments and a lot of rubbish.

The money in the Bank ladder match kicks us off strong. With Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston and CM Punk providing various high spots and Kane and Mark Henry spotting for others. It's full of big moments, obviously and is a great start. Mercifully, Kid Rocks concert isn't on the DVD, so instead we se the Diva's already in the ring for their battle royal. This is probably one of the lowest points that womens wrestling would be at, and that it's won by a man in drag shows how little value these women had at this point. Jericho vs. The Legends would have been fine, had it just been him versus Ricky Steamboat, the other two add nothing - nor does Flair on the outside or the post-match business with Mickey Rourke.

The Hardy's battle was better and had a really good ending. JBL vs Rey was over quickly and would be the last the universe would see of JBL for a few years. The first Undertaker vs. Shawn Michael's match is an undisputed classic, full of false finishes and kick outs that I can't believe, even though I've seen the match several times before. The Cena triple threat is OK, but the ending is poor and the HHH vs Randy Orton match is fine, but struggles to follow that Michaels / Taker match - as anything would.

The blu ray version also includes Raw and Smackdown from before the show, as well as the Dark match, which was a lumberjack tag titles match.

The classic match and the high spots in some of the others makes this a show that you would just about recommend.
