Format:DVD
WM 19 didn't have it, WM 20 didn't have it, but last night, in front of 21,000 plus fans, John Cena and Batista defeated JBL and HHH to become champs of their own brands. This was an awsome ppv, the crowd was electric all night and the matches, several especially were worth it [Except the sumo match in my opinion]

Eddie Guerreroe vs. Rey Mysterio: What a great way to kick off the show, two of the best Latino wrestlers in WWE history use high flying and fast paced action to start it off. Rey wins again and Eddie shows a little teasing of turning on Rey, but then shakes his hand in a great match. 8.5/10

Edge vs Kane vs Benoit vs Jericho vs Christian vs. Shelton B.
Ladder Match
#1 contendership:

Wow, wow, wow. Just a famous match that people will remember for years to come. The things these guys did to each other took guts and preserverance. Shelton giving Edge the T-Bone suplex off a ladder, Benoit giving Kane a headbutt off a ladder.

Shelton running up the side of a ladder that was laying on another ladder to throw Jericho off was phenominal. Then Edge and Christian gave a modified conchairto to Kane with ladders, followed by Shelton jumping out of the ring to land on at least 5 other guys, Tomko included.

Edge wins after hitting Benoit with a chair and taking him out. Benoit's arm suffered the most after Kane gave him several arm crunches with a ladder on it. Truly a great match. 10/10

Randy Orton vs. Undertaker
Legend vs. Legend Killer.

Its official, 13-0 is now the new record that the Undertaker has. A great match again, with Randy reversing a chokeslam into a RKO, then his dad interfering, but the Undertaker prevailing was a great exciting match.

I saw a lot of signs that said 12-1 over the past few weeks, but let me just say no one can beat the Undertaker at a WM, just get used to that! 9/10

Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme
Women's championship:

I can't say this was great, but props to Christy to actually going out there with not much experience in front of millions of people and actually trying to be good. As you could tell, Trish wins to continue her streak.

I had a feeling Lita might have been a big factor, but she just mostly glared at Trish the entire time. 6/10

Eugene/Hassan/Hogan segment:
Just to pass the time and give the Hulkster to pump up the crowd. Eugene came out and started talking about his favorite moment [When midgets attacked King Kong Bundy] Then Hassan came out to beat up Eugene and make a WM moment of his own.

Then Hogan to the rescue, cleaning house and posing in front of a televised American flag. Funny, and memorable stuff.

Kurt Angle vs. HBK:

30 minutes of pure enjoyment and captivating action. All the near falls made the crowd shout and yell like crazy. A bad spot when HBK tried to jump on Angle through an announce table, but the table didn't break.

Lots of chain wrestling, near falls, a great sweet chin music by HBK, and a moonsault gone bad, followed by chemistry and drama made this the greatest match on the card!

Other than that, this is definately the match of the year, hell the match of the decade! Angle wins after making HBK tap out, only becoming the third man to make him tap. [The first was Jericho, the second Benoit] 11/10

Piper's Pit
Stone Cold Steve Austin as Guest:
Didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. Some good trading of words by both men, with Piper making fun of the crowd with the what chants. Then Carlito of all people comes out and makes fun of them.

Piper gets beat up by Carlito by about 10 seconds as Austin watched, then Austin and Piper beat up Carlito. They celebrate with beers and then Austin stuns Piper. Some funny stuff, would have made a great Raw also!

Sumo Match: Why, why, WHY was this match on so late in the card? I certainly didn't want to see two big men in practically no clothing fight after one of the greatest one on one matches in history, or after the awsome ladder match. Anyway Akebono wins and Big Show falls to the outside of the ring. 5/10

WWE Championship
JBL vs. John Cena:

The streak is over! We have a new Smackdown champion! The match was also a disappointment, only 15 minutes, maybe even less long. Cena hits the FU out of nowhere and pins JBL. I am not complaining though. Good match, for the ending, not great. 7/10

World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. HHH

Motorhead played HHH's music as he entered from a trap door in the stage. Motorhead wasn't as good as they were from WM 17, but the entrance was still cool.

The crowd erupted when Batista won. HHH got busted wide open, Ric Flair got spinebustered, and Batista is the new world champ. About twenty minutes of big man fighting, lots of struggle holds and knocking people down. Batista celebrated as the crowd went crazy. 9/10

This year's WM was definately worth it, especially for the Angle/HBK match, Orton/Undertaker match, the Ladder match, and the two world title matches just for the endings. I can't wait for May 10th!

I just got the DVD also and what a bunch of extras they have:

All nine parodys of the several of the most famous scenes in movie history.

When Harry met Sally
Taxi Driver
Pulp Fiction
Braveheart

These were the best ones [my opinion]

They also have the highlights of Kurt Angle, Shawn Michales, and the Undertaker. With HBK they showed how his Sweet Chin Music kick can be devastating. With Angle they showed the Ankle lock, and with the Undertaker, they showed all his 12 wins at WM going from 12 to 1 backwards.

The extra Battle Royal is a great thing to add to this DVD. Funny moment when 5 or 6 guys hold down Viscera when Scotty gives him the worm. Heidenreich rips open the padding on the top turnbuckle, and Akio gets face planted on the steel steps after being tossed out of the ring! Booker T wins for Smackdown 8.5/10

They also have when the WWE takes over Hollywood Boulevard with a ring and matches galore. Cena even stops traffic and gets in trouble with the cops. Finally, they have a two and a half hour induction ceremony of the Hall of Fame [But you guys already know that don't ya?]

This is a great DVD to add to your collection.

WrestleMania Goes Hollywood December 30, 2005
Format:DVD
Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero - Both men walked into this match as WWE Tag Team Championship partners while Rey came out in his traditional unique WrestleMania outfit that definitely represented his Mexican heritage being in Los Angeles. Both men did some back & forth wrestling with Eddie getting getting the upper hand by monkeyflipping Mysterio to the outside of the ring. Eddie tried various submission holds such as the surfboard & STF while also delivering various backbreakers & vertical suplexes while Rey relied on an aerial attack such as the corkscrew plancha over the top & later a seated senton. Both men knew each other so well that we got a bunch of sequences out counter & escaping each others holds in what was a great opening match for WrestleMania.
[Rey Mysterio: Life Behind The Mask]

Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kane vs. Edge vs. Christian - This was the first ever Money In The Bank match where the object of the match is to grab the briefcase at the top that contains a contract to challenge any World Champion whenever he sees fit in the next year. As expected with a multiman ladder match, chaos all over the place with everyone going after Kane on the ramp before the bell, everyone diving on top of everyone else on the outside, Benoit crossfacing anyone in sight, Benjamin splashing Edge in the corner on the ladder, everyone fighting on 3 ladders at once, Edge T-Bone'd off the ladder, and Benoit's headbutt off the ladder that caused him to bleed from the head. I was here LIVE & to quote Joey Styles "OH MY GOD!" The show-stealer here though was Shelton Benjamin as he looked like Spider Man with the majority of the moves he was pulling off involving the ladders. As a side note, watch Kane's intro because that was something to see with the ladders on fire.
[The Ladder Match]

Undertaker vs. Randy Orton - "The Legend Killer" was out to end the legend of Undertaker's streak as Orton kept trying to go for quick covers early to no avail. Both men would go on to exchange punches with Taker attempting his Dragon Sleeper submission that was countered into a DDT & later countering the chokeslam into an RKO as both men traded momentum causing Randy to resort to desperate tactics including an appearance from his father using his trademark cast on his arm before Orton's overconfidence at one point came back to haunt him & cost him the match. Orton came into this match with an injury that would eventually have him out of action throughout the spring & summer so this was as good as it could be taking that into consideration as they would go on to have better matches throughout the rest of the year.

Womens Champion Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme - Recently injured Lita was in Christy's corner but in a nutshell, Christy was only in this match as she was the WWE Playboy cover girl for this year but she wasn't good in the ring as Trish carried this match to the point where it's watchable but easily forgettable.

Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle - This was one of the most highly anticipated dream matches in history at that time. Shawn started this off with a slap in the face to Angle causing Kurt to get real aggressive with his amateur wrestling doing various takedowns & riding however Shawn showed a few amateur tricks of his own & even outwrestled Kurt. Kurt started to work over Shawn's back with an Angle Slam into the ringpost & many belly to belly suplexes including one attempt to do a german suplex off the ring apron onto the floor. Shawn had to resort to "desperate measures" to prevent that before performing his own crossbody dive onto Angle on an announce table. The matches got more aggressive & intense as it went on as Shawn was able to counter the anklelock various times while Angle delivered another Angle Slam off the top rope as both men came very close with the nearfalls & a very dramatic ending. A modern day classic encounter, period.
[Shawn Michaels: My Journey]

Sumo Match: Big Show vs. Akebono - For those who don't know who Akebono is, he's a real life sumo-wrestling champion in Japan who made an appearance on the recent WWE tour of Japan interacting with Show leading to this match. Outside of seeing Show in the sumo-thong, there was nothing special about this.

WWE Champion J.B.L. vs. John Cena - J.B.L. had a great entrance with the Presidential limo & police escort into the arena but it goes downhill from there as it was basically J.B.L. beating down Cena throughout the whole match only for Cena hits three strong moves, the F.U., and wins the match. This was definitely one of the worst WWE Championship matches in history & a horrible way (even foreshadowing on some people's opinions) to begin the first of many title reigns of John Cena & his beginning of being the top guy in the company.

World Champion Triple H vs. Batista - Motorhead performed Triple H to the ring while he also had Ric Flair in his corner. Batista showed his power advantage early with impactful moves like a high back body drop & powerslam causing Flair to keep getting involved for Triple H to get the advantage. Triple H proceeded to show why he's the "cerebral assassin" by focusing on Batista's back using the guardrail along with other moves like the suplex, backbreaker, and spinebuster. The action spilled over the floor where the steel steps came into play for both men to the point where Triple H was busted open as a result with Batista just continuing to just pound on his bleeding head. Flair again attempted to get involved only for Batista to take him out & continued to "unleash the animal" as he was able to power out of the pedigree & dominate his way to his first World Championship.
[Batista: Animal Unleashed]

Also on the show was Lillian Garcia signing "America The Beautiful", a special Piper's Pit featuring the return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Eugene making an appearance before being interrupted by Muhammed Hassan before he was interrupted by the WrestleMania return of Hulk Hogan.

DVD extras include the pre-show RAW vs. SmackDown battle royal, all of the "WrestleMania Goes Hollywood" movie parodies they did including outtakes, commercial spots for the main event matches, special career highlight features on Kurt Angle & Shawn Michaels & Undertaker, two "Confidential" pieces on the WrestleMania weekend & media appearances, and Motorhead doing a backstage "unplugged" performance.

Included as well is the COMPLETE Hall Of Fame ceremony they had the night before that Mean Gene Okerland hosted as Randy Orton induced his dad Cowboy Bob Orton, Jim Ross inducted Nikolai Volkoff, and Jerry Lawler inducted an emotional Jimmy Hart. The real highlights start were when Sgt. Slaughter inducted the Iron Sheik, who stole the whole show & had everyone laughing throughout his entire speech. Bobby Heenan inducted Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff but ripped into a loudmouth fan in the front row beforehand. Ric Flair sharing some "on the road" stories before inducting Roddy Piper. And Sylvester Stallone inducting Hulk Hogan with the crowd going crazy for the longest time.

This event definitely had it's highlights such as the classic encounter between Shawn & Kurt, a quality encounter between Mysterio & Guerrero in what turned out to be Eddie's last Mania match, the first ever Money In The Bank Ladder match, and the returns of legends such as Hogan & Piper & Austin. This PPV also did it's job in establishing the new faces & main eventers for the future in John Cena & Batista while also continuing Taker's streak. The only real low points were the disappointing WWE Title match (which they made up for with the "I Quit" match at Judgment Day), Sumo Match, and the divas match but overall was a enjoyable & quality WrestleMania (my first one I saw live).
