Reviewed on 2008-06-21 The Best Wrestlemania In Years When you look at the card on paper you see Vince McMahon vs HBK, Mick Foley vs Edge Hardcore Match, Micki James vs Trish Stratus & Mark Henry vs Undertaker. You see this card and you expect to be disapointed but you're sorely wrong as these where the best matches on the card. Here is a match by match review of the show in no particular order as i'm doing it from memory so bear with me. Big Show & Kane vs Carlito vs Chris Masters. 3/5 This match had potential but it let me down the only real high point of the match was that Carlito was in it. 6 Man Money In The Bank Ladder Match. RVD vs Shelton vs Ric Flair vs Matt Hardy vs Finlay vs Lashley. 5/5 Amazing match and like always Ric, RVD & Shelton didn't let us down but the other 3 guys really were terrible in the match but it still deserves its 5 stars Undertaker vs Mark Henry Casket Match. 3/5 very slow match that i honestly expected to be worse but Undertaker delivered a great Wrestlemania match as usual. Boogeyman vs Booker T. 0/5 The worst match on the card, i am a big fan of Booker's and even he didn't deliver in this match which was a real disapointment in my book. Mick Foley vs Edge Hardcore Match. 6/5 This was definately the show stealer and shows that Mick Foley is still the hardcore legend and it proved that Edge will still go to any lengths to capture the eyes of the fans. Mickie James vs Trish Stratus Womens Championship. 5/5 Amazing match that also was one of the best matches on the card it was more the storytelling than the wrestling and Mickie had the crowd on her side to no surprise. Vince McMahon vs Shawn Michaels Street Fight. 5/5 Incredible match that showed us the old Shawn Michaels and showed us why we love him and Vince really perfomed amazingly in this match. Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton World Championship. 5/5 This match was waaaaaayyyyy too short but for the time that these 3 men where in the ring they seriously delivered an incredible match. John Cena vs Triple H WWE Championship. 5/5 This was a great match and the atmosphere was incredible and i like most of the fans where 100% behind HHH winning but all in all this was an amazing match. This was an incredible PPV and the best Wrestlemania since WM17 so i seriously recommend you check this out because it was worth the PPV price so it will really be worth the DVD price.

Reviewed on 2008-05-10 Well worth the money Overall this is a very good set and good wrestlemania. This set has a very good wrestlemania an ok saturday nights main event and a great hall of fame induction ceremony. this isnt the best wrestlemania but it is very good one because it has so many solid matches. 18 man intrerpromotional battle royal: a ok match but nothing special or great to watch a few times 4/10 now time for wrestlemania world tag titles bigshow & kane vs chris masters & carlito: pretty solid tag match it has good action and comedy spots it is short but still a good opener that gets the crowd even more into the event 7/10 mitb ric flair vs rvd vs shelton benjamin vs matt hardy vs finlay vs lashley: great match and maybe the best mitb match ever but maybe wrestlemania 24's the match is good and moves along very well and shelton steals the show in this match 9/10 US title chris benoit vs jbl: the match is decent but a little over good the ending is a little bad but the match is pretty solid 6.5/10 Hardcore match Mick foley vs edge: now this match is great maybe the greatst hardcore match in the history of north american pro wrestling ok that is a little to far it is the best wwe has to offer though and it is a very great one 10/10 boogeyman vs booker & sharmell: boring and the funny part can't save it 2/10 wwe title trish stratus vs mickie james: great match very good to watch many times this helps make it a very good ppv and wrestlemania 8.5/10 casket match undertaker vs mark henry: i enjoy it many times it is ok and really picks up at the end and becomes a good match not great but good 7.5/10 no holds barred match hbk vs mr mcmahon: this is the match of the year to pwi which i believe is right it is the best match good story telling and a very good harcore match good interfence and a great ending one heck of a match 10/10 world heavyweight title kurt angle vs randy orton vs rey mysterio: the match is good but way to short they could have had a showstealer if it would have been 20 min i mean come on world title wrestlemania not good for that 7/10 pillow fight no rating wwe title john cena vs hhh: now this is a main event this match is great it has back and forth action and what it is missing is made up by one of the best crowds ever this nite had the best crowd this isnt the best match the action is pretty good great opening and the finish is better than the one with shawn as hhh acts like he is still in it a little while 9.5/10

Reviewed on 2008-04-27 A Great Mania with Amazing Extras I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.) WWE Wrestlemania 22 This is one of my favorite events to watch. This DVD would have gotten 4 stars if it weren't for the amazing amount of extras on it. Although the event is generally good, it has its low and average points. I find the staging at this event to be superbly made. It really gives Wrestlemania 22 a good feel. The casing for this DVD is also great looking. WWE always does well with Wrestlemania's casing. -Disc 1- World Tag Team Championship Big Show & Kane(c) VS Carlito & Chris Masters This was an excellent choice for an opener to this event. There are some great comedy spots, high-flying spots, and power spots. This is one of the best normal tag matches I've ever seen. RATING- 9/10 Money in the Bank Ladder Match Ric Flair VS Rob Van Dam VS Shelton Benjamin VS Matt Hardy VS Finlay VS Bobby Lashley Money in the Bank started at WWE WrestleMania 21 and has really made a great impact on Wrestlemania each year since. This is a spotfest, but a good one. The matches progresses nicely. RVD is the star of this match. He even does a huge splash off the ladder. You will love this one. RATING- 8.5/10 United States Championship Chris Benoit(c) VS JBL The match was boring and not much happened in it. It is not terrible it is just average. RATING- 5.5/10 Hardcore Match Mick Foley VS Edge (Match of the DVD) This is a masterpiece of a match. Mick Foley wanted a Wrestlemania moment and he's got one now. Barbwire, chairs, cookie sheets, stairs, and even fire all come into play in this match. Both men take a beating and after this match are bloody messes. Mick has had some great Hardcore matches with Triple H (WWE Royal Rumble 2000) and Randy Orton (WWE Backlash 2004) recently, but this match is the best out of all of them. RATING- 10/10 Boogeyman VS Booker T & Sharmell The segments leading up to this match are funny and the match can be funny at times too. The problem is that this match took time away from other matches on the card. RATING- 4/10 WWE Women's Championship Match Trish Stratus(c) VS Mickie James This match is one of the best women's matches in a very long time. The ending is messed up and that takes away from the match, but it is still excellent. RATING- 8/10 Casket Match Undertaker VS Mark Henry The last 3 moves in this match are awesome. Everything else is boring and consists of punches mostly. The last three moves save this from being horrible though. Undertaker has had many better Wrestlemania matches, including against Triple H at WWE WrestleMania X-Seven and against Ric Flair at WWE WrestleMania X8. Undertaker has also had better casket matches, including against Heidenreich at WWE Royal Rumble 2005. RATING- 6.5/10 No Holds Barred Match Shawn Michaels VS Mr. McMahon McMahon gets the crap beat out of him for almost the entire match. JR's commentary is great in this match. There are many cool spots and it really feels like HBK is evolving during the match. I like the fact that McMahon doesn't try to make himself equal to HBK like at WWE WrestleMania XIX where Hogan and McMahon are set as equal opponents. RATING- 8.5/10 Extras Include- 18-Man Interpromotional Battle Royal The match is nothing special and doesn't have any high spots at all. This is just to warm the early crowd up. RATING- 3/10 Vignettes -Disc 2- World Heavyweight Championship Kurt Angle(c) VS Rey Mysterio VS Randy Orton Another reviewer related this match to something you would find on TNA Wrestling: The Best of the X Division Volume 1. I absolutely agree with him. This match was much too short but it was very fast paced and well done. Angle is the star of this match. The crowd is into Angle the entire match. RATING- 9/10 Playboy Pillow Fight Torrie Wilson VS Candice Michelle Even by Pillow Fight standards, this is horrible. Luckily, Candice has been working at her wrestling skills and has gotten better since this. RATING- 1/10 WWE Championship John Cena(c) VS Triple H The crowd is really into this match. They are booing Cena and cheering Triple H. Half the battle for entertainment is already won. Sadly, not much else happens in the match. There are a few near falls, but that is all. RATING- 7/10 Extras Include- Mick Foley Getting Stitches Rey Mysterio Celebration Wrestlemania Post Show (From WWE.com) John Cena Addresses the Chicago Fans (Raw-4/3/06) Saturday Night's Main Event (Full) Raw Main Event VS Smackdown Main Event Triple H & John Cena VS Kurt Angle/Rey Mysterio/Randy Orton This was a good, fast paced way to start off the show. There are a lot of finishers and expected turns. RATING-6/10 The Cutting Edge Edge & Lita with Special Guest Mick Foley Beer Drinking Contest Stone Cold VS JBL Trish Stratus & Mickie James VS Victoria & Candice Michelle This is just your average women's tag match that you see all the time. This is used more to push a Mickie/Stratus feud. RATING-4.5/10 Mark Henry/Undertaker Confrontation Street Fight Shawn Michaels VS Shane McMahon This is a great fight. It is even better than the match that HBK and Vince have at Wrestlemania. There is an insane ladder/table spot that sums up the entire match. RATING-9/10 -Disc 3- WWE Hall of Fame-Class of 2006 The Blackjacks Verne Gagne William "The Refrigerator" Perry Sensational Sherri Tony Atlas Gene Okerland Eddie Guerrero Bret "Hit Man" Hart

Reviewed on 2007-11-29 Awesome Since 2000, WWE has been on target with WrestleMaina. This years event featured alot of great moments to add to the list of WrestleMaina moments that people will never forget. The hardcore match between Foley and Edge was a sight to behold. I notice this PPV had alot of hardcore matches, something they should have kept up. Carlito & Chris Masters vs Kane & Big Show: Bad opener. Its funny how Kane and Big Show were called the most dominant tag team in the history of the WWE. They didnt have tag teams back them to wrestle and the tag team division right now is still a joke. Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair vs RVD vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy vs Lashley: Since 2000, WrestleMaina has always put in a ladder match because they know thats what people love. Money in the Bank has been the highlight of the past two Maina's and this is no expection. Short match with RVD winning. JBL vs Chris Benoit: Good match but the ending was typical JBL. Edge vs Mick Foley: This match stole the show. Mickie James vs Trish Stratus: Skip Mark Henry vs Undertaker: A decent match but it wasnt so great. Taker may have won 15 straight at WrestleMaina but some of the wins are over some pretty bad wrestlers. Shawn Michaels vs Mr McMahon: After two dismal matches, this is anther gem. McMahon may not be the greatest wrestler but he always puts on his best show. An excellent match. Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio: One of the best triple threats ive ever seen. Call me crazy but this match was really short and delivered in the time it was given. Awesome match. I hate to say it but since Eddie died, Rey seems to be getting a free pass. First winning the rumble and now the world title. Mysterio is a great wrestler but the way WWE packages world champions, he doesnt fit the bill. Funny as I go down the list of matches and realizs alot of the wrestlers aren't in WWE anymore. John Cena vs. Triple H: Amazing Triple H lost in the biggest main event of the year. Decent match but the Smackdown match was far better then this match. Excellent dvd. Alot of quality matches but a few that could have been left on Raw. Its a shame that WWE didnt put out WrestleMaina 23 the same way as this set. This set included the whole Saturday Night's Main Event show and the Hall of Fame ceremony. Maybe they'll do it for 24.
