Whether WrestleMania XIX goes down as the best WrestleMania ever will be for historians to decide, but the 2003 battle in Seattle certainly was notable for two of the biggest grudge matches to hit the WWE in many a moon. Billed as "20 years in the making," WWE mogul Mr. McMahon tried to put an end to Hulkamania in a street fight against the legenday Hogan. Despite all the accolades, the championship belts, and the movie career, one thing the Rock had never done is beat prodigal son Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania, and he was ready to pull out all the stops--including an unprecedented three Rock Bottoms--to do it. For all the hype, however, don't ignore the other events of the evening. For example, there was the actual WWE Championship to be decided, and Kurt Angle tried to prove he doesn't suck by taking on Brock Lesnar, and the loser headed straight from the ring to the hospital. There was a surprise ending in the World Heavyweight Championship Match between Triple H and Booker T, and the technically superb Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho match turned out to be the best of the night. Throw in Limp Bizkit, the Miller Lite catfight girls, and tons of bonus features, and you've got a six-hour extravaganza for the ages. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Best WrestleMania--- Ever!, April 15, 2003

By	J. Inman (Lodi, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a very solid show. There were fireworks in the beginning. I was there.

Cruiserweight Championship:
Matt Hardy V.1(Champion) w/ Shannon Moore vs. Rey Mysterio
This match was surprisingly short, but good. Shannon Moore carried the entire affair. ***

Undertaker vs. A-Train and Big Show
Not as horrible, horrible, waste of time as I suspected. Nathan Jones kicked Big Show, and all was made right. Undertaker really put A-Train in his place. ***

Women's Championship:
Victoria (Champion) w/ Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz
This match, while not stratusfying, was the best women's match I've seen. Disappointing ending, but what're you gonna do (not let Felina debut, that's for darned sure). Steven bops himself on the head. ****

WWE Tag Team Championship:
Team Angle (Champions) vs. Los Guerreros vs. Chris Benoit & Rhyno
Thank God for you, Team Angle. You do NOT suck. Neither does Eddie and Chavo's new entrance video. ***1/2

"HBK" Shawn Michaels vs. "Y2J" Chris Jericho
Best match of the night. A Macho Man vs. Ricky Steamboat, if ever there was one, aside from the original. For this not to be nominated for match of the year would be sodomy, plain and simple. *****

Limp Bizkit Concert ***

Catfight: Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler vs. Catfight Girls
Very entertaining until screwjob ending. **** (for entertainment and sheer technical mastery)

World Championship:
Triple H (Champion) w/ Ric Flair vs. Booker T
Good match, but with a pace similar to something out of WrestleMania 6 or 7. Cool Houston Hangover, but not much following except a pedigree. ***

Street Fight:
Vince McMahon vs. Hulk Hogan
Much better than anticipated, with some cool high spots and excellent geriatric bumps. Roddy Piper shocked the world by making his triumphant return, only to bop Hogan on the head. ****1/2

The Rock vs. Stone Cold
Better than WreslteMania XV, not as good as X-7. Stone Cold was clearly mentally and physically, well, not there. Surprising ending that seemed rather anti-climactic. ****

WWE Championship:
Kurt Angle (Champion) vs. Brock Lesnar
Very good match (considering the champ had a broken neck) with some excellent spots. Brock misses a shooting star press and bops himself on the head. ****1/2

In conclusion, it was the best WrestleMania in years, with many celebrities, many surprises, and many people getting bopped on the head.

4.0 out of 5 stars WrestleMania XIX, November 6, 2003

By	Jason Bingum (Cali) - See all my reviews

This was one of the best WrestleManias i've ever viewed. Most of the card was solid and the DVD itself is packed with some great extras.

SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT Extra
* RVD & Kane v. Lance Storm & Cheif Morley - Tag Titles

Should have replaced "Millerlite Catfight" segment during the actually show. Great match. Very intense action. Dudley Boyz even get involved and are a huge factor in the outcome.

* Matt Hardy v. Rey Mysterio - Cruiserweight Title

This was a very good opener. The only letdown was the crowd reactions and the finish.

* Undertaker & Nathan Jones v. Big Show & A-Train

Limp Bizkit plays The Undertaker to the ring. Events during Sunday Night Heat turn this into a handicap match. The Undertaker "is" this match. The Big Show and A-Train ride on his back the entire contest. Nonetheless, a surprisingly entertaining match with Nathan Jones saving the day in the end.

* Victoria v. Trish Stratus v. Jazz - Women's Title

This is by-far the greatest women's match ever, whether at a WrestleMania or any other show. All three women give their all and put on a damn good show with, sadly, a lackluster crowd reaction, which is what kills this match. Steven Richards' comedic antics spice this one up as well.

* Team Angle v. Los Guerreros v. Chris Benoit & Rhyno - Tag Titles

The best three-way tag match to ever take place so far. Great performances by Chavo and Eddie Guerrero, who gave the greatest show of athletisism in the bout. Nice chaotic climax to end this one.

* Shawn Michaels v. Chris Jericho

Excellent contest. Shawn Michaels had an unbelievable entrance. Michaels not only pulled out some old tricks, but revealed some new ones. Chris Jericho also stole the show. Couldn't have asked for more from these two atheletes, with a post-match encounter that will leave any HBK fan with a sour taste in their mouth (shame on you Jericho).

*WrestleMania Catfight
Millerlite Catfight Girls v. Torrie Wilson v. Stacy Keibler

Horrible gimmick match. Yes, the clevage (or what little bit there is..) is there. But..not only is it pointless. But we end up seeing Jonathan Coachman in his underwear and nothing close to the billing. oh well. Only bad spot of the night.

* Triple H v. Booker T - World Title

Great match. Triple H pulled out all the stops. Booker T showed why he deserved to be in a WrestleMania title match. Overall, Booker T stole the show with a throwback to his old Harlem Heat days (you'll just have to watch to find out). Would have been a perfect match had we seen Triple H pull out the 'ol sledge hammer and even more so, had we seen the man who really deserved to win walk out with the gold.

* Hulk Hogan v. Vince McMahon - Street Fight

Awesome match-up. This is where the crowd was the loudest the whole night. Just how any street fight should be. Bloody and violent. A shocking return by one of Hogan and Vince's old nemesis'. Unbelievable ending.

* Stonecold Steve Austin v. The Rock

One of the best match-ups of the night. The crowd is really into this one as well. Lots of nearfalls. This one will keep you on your toes until the very end...and what an end it was to an excellent feud. Nothing as shocking as X-7, where Austin turned heel, though. But still incredible.

* Kurt Angle v. Brock Lesnar - Championship Title

Best match on the card. When watching this, just keep in mind that Kurt Angle is wrestling with a broken neck and you'll realize why. Brock Lesnar proves that he's more than just a "power-based" wrestler. There is no point in this match where you will want to stop and grab a snack or fast foward. The entire match is solid. Great performance by both men.

All in all a top notch show. Great DVD. This WrestleMania alone could very well convert a non-fan into a hardcore fan. Not the best. Maybe not even in the top five. But definetely one of the best Mania's of all-time. Limp Bizkit's performance is amazing even if you're not a fan of their music. Ashanti's rendition of America the Beautiful at the beginning of the show is missing from the DVD (what's up with that?). The DVD extras are great, but it would have been nice if they would have included an extra historical match or two from prior Mania's. For example, the first two Austin/Rock encounters. Otherwise, an excellent DVD.
