DVD Note: There are also many "Easter Eggs" hidden around the discs.

This event was hyped up so so so much that i don't thik it could have ever lived up to it. And it didn't. BUT, it gave us some spectacular matches, including a great triple threat and a hell of a WWE title match.

UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Big Show (c) v. Jon Cena ***1/2
Great opening match. Cena just looks so so so excited to be there. Big Show preforms well in losing his title.

WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
RVD/Booker T (c) v. The Dudley Boyz v. La Resistance v. Jindrak/Cade **
Again, tag team wrestling has gone to hell. I'd really like to see just two teams go at it for once. Enough of this stuff. Fast paced, but it puts me to sleep.

Christian v. Chris Jericho ****
Besides the title matches, this was by far the match of the night. Jericho was his usual brilliant self, but it was Christian who stole the show in this one. He's probobly the most underrated star in the WWE right now. He's moving up fast and earned a well-deserved mania victory. Not a dull moment with one hell of a twist in the end.

Rock n Sock v. Evolution ****
Another good match. Not the greatest in terms of wrestling, but by FAR the most purely entertaining match of the night. Rock and Flair are hysterical together. Foley is just oozing with class and puts over Orton. Orton does his part too. Very fun match.

PLAYBOY EVENING GOWN MATCH
Sable/Torrie v. Stacy/ Miss Jackie *
Matt Hardy was left off of the card for this. Awful

CRUSERWEIGHT OPEN **1/2
I'm not a big big fan of Cruserweights, but I was excited for this match and a little let down. I thought it was going to More of a battle royal type thing or at least the format they had with Chavo mixed in insted of at the end. Not bad though. Billy Kidman impresses big time.

Brock Lesnar v. Bill Goldberg **
Stone Cold shouldn't have been involved in this to begin with. Brock announcing he was leaving and Goldberg almost def. leaving really put the crowd on edge. They really rode both of these guys bigtime. The match was just bad all the way down. Circumstance and poor booking killed this match. Biggest dissapointment of the night by a long shot.

WWE Tag Team Titles
Scotty/ Rikishi(c) v. APA v. The Bashams v. TWGTT **
TWGTT really put on a cool show here. Again nothing to get excited about though. Typical tag team bore fest.

WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP
Molly Holly v. Victoria(c) **1/2
I'm not the greatest fan of women's wrestling, but lemme tell ya, these girls can put together a hell of a match. For women this was outstanding. The hair stipulation also added to it. I enjoyed it.

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Eddie Guererro(c) v. Kurt Angle *****
Thrilling match. Technical materpeice. Great Ending. I knew this would be good going in, but this match really blew me away. Loved every second of it.

The Undertaker v. Kane ***
Super hyped match. A great return for the dead man, it's just this match was SO predictable. The two worked a little slow, but for entertainment value alone, I'll give this an extra star.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Triple H(c) v. Shawn Michaels v. Chris Benoit *****
Off the charts. Second best mania main event I have ever seen besides the Rock and SCSA at WM17... Still, a phenominal match with an AMAZING spot on the table, good use of the outside area... what impressed me is that we didn't see any weapons used. They put together such and incredibly entertaining match and the ending is appropriate. Benoit was way way way overdue for the moment, but then again, that's what made it so special. Best ending to a wrestlemania ever.

Overall this was an excellent event. It was a little over-hyped though. Most off the matches were completly rushed as well, but they were still good. Here are the matches.

1. John Cena vs. The Big Show 8/10
A really good opener, but no 10/10 because it went a little to slow, but you can't really expect the Big Show to go fast. The ending is amazing when John Cena does the FU on the Big Show to get the victory. John Cena also became the new WWE United States Champion that night.

2. Rob Van Dam and Booker T vs. Rene Dupree and Robert Conway vs. Mark Jindrak and Garrison Cade vs. D-Von and Bubba Ray Dudley 7/10
This was a pretty good match, and it was entertaining. The problem was that it went kind of slow until the last few minutes. Booker T was literally in the ring the whole time until almost the end when it started going crazy. Rob Van Dam hits a five star frog splash on Rob Conway to get the victory and to retain.

3. Christian vs. Chris Jericho 9/10
A really good match. Good wrestling finally came from both men here. I was really impressed with Christian because I did not think he could do it. The ending is really suprising when Trish comes to the ring and makes it look like she is helping Jericho, when she is really not. Trish slaps Jericho REALLY HARD and then Christian some neat move. Christian and Trish walk away together and then kiss, while Jericho looks on from the ring looking furious. Big suprise to me. Good match do not skip.

4. Randy Orton, Batista, and Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley and The Rock (Handicap Match) 10/10
An excellent match. Its kind of hard to explain everything that happened but some of the good parts was when The Rock punched Ric Flair really hard in the mouth because he said WHOOO! to him. Another kind of funny part was when Batista or somebody (I think Randy) swung Mick and he hit the steps. I was suprised Mick even got up. Dissapointing ending when Mick Foley took out Mr. Socko but when he did thta, Orton came and did the RKO on him. The Rock and Mick look sad, but then they shake hands. Another good match, DO NOT SKIP.

5. Sable and Torrie Wilson vs. Miss Jackie and Stacy Keibler 6/10
Kinda bad. This match was REALLY SHORT, but it had like one or two good moves in it. You really can't expect much from women's match though. Mostly a guy match, so if you like these girls then wath it. If you really don't care watch it or skip it (mostly skip it).

6. Chavo Guererro vs. Nunzio vs. Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri vs. Akio vs. Funaki vs. Shannon Moore vs. Ultimo Dragon vs. Billy Kidman vs. Rey Mysterio (Crusierweight Open/Guantlet Match) 9/10
This match was pretty good, although it was kind of rushed. The match started of well with Ultimo Dragon vs. Shannon Moore until Jamie Noble started dominating. On one of Jamie Noble's pins, he pinned Funaki in 3 seconds! Jamie Noble was then later eliminated by Billy Kidman (I think) after Noble got Nunzio counted-out. Sadly, Akio never got to wrestle because he tried to help Tajiri when he was fighting Rey Mysterio, but Tajiri accidently missed Rey and spit that green stuff in Akio's face. Chavo gets the victory over Rey to retain with his father's help.

7. Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg 5/10
WORST MATCH OF THE NIGHT! Yes, this match was bad. I had hard time believing it too. I thought this match was going to be cool, but it really sucked. When both men came to the ring (including Steve Austin as referee) all they did was stare at each other. After a while they started pushing each other, and this lasted for about eight minutes with a few stares in between. The crowd even started chanting "THIS MATCH SUCKS!". Towards the last few minutes of the match, there was FINALLY some wrestling going on. Goldberg hit the Jackhammer (or whatever its called) on Lesnar to get the victory. At the end, Lesnar flicks the crowd and Austin off. Austin then stuns Lesnar. Goldberg came back to the ring and he and Austin started drinking beers together, until Austin stunned Goldberg too. Steve Austin carried the match bascially (even though he was only the ref). I kind of felt sorry for Lesnar and Goldberg though. Not worth your time really, so skip it.

8. Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin vs. Bradshaw and Faarooq vs. Doug and Danny Basham 8/10
This match was better than the tag team match earlier. It was better because it had at least different people come in at all times (except for Faarooq who never came in). In the match, I thought it was funny how the Basham kept tagging each other to keep Scotty from tagging Rikishi. Towards the end everything went crazy. Bradshaw and Faarooq could have been the new tag champs because Bradshaw hit that knockdown with his arm (the one they say is from "hell") on one of the Bashams. Bradshaw then tried to do the same on Rikishi, but Rikishi then did a Samoen Drop on Bradshaw. From there Rikishi went to the Basham lying on the floor and sat on him REALLY HARD. This enabled him and Scotty to get the victory and retain. Good match.

9. Molly Holly vs. Victoria 7/10
I was amazed thatthis match was pretty good. A lot of good moves here. Too short to explain anything though. Victoria gets the victory, and then Molly Holly gets her hair cut (turns bald). Molly tries to run, but she gets caught. This explains why Molly looks the way she does now. I actually felt bad Molly.

10. Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero 9/10
Excellent match. Eddie was in control most of the match, until almost the end when Kurt got Eddie's ankle. It looked like Eddie was going to lose, but not quite. Eddie outsmarted Kurt when Kurt had his ankle, and then he turned around while Eddie untied his boot making it look like it was hurt. When Kurt turned back around, he got Eddie ankle, but Eddie pushed him away and Kurt had his boot in his hand. Eddie then did a roll-up (with is feet on the ropes) on Kurt which got him the victory to retain.

11. Kane vs. The Undertaker 7/10
I was really dissapointed with this match. I say skip it because nothing much happenned here. The Undertaker gets the victory. The entances though are cool.

12. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit vs. Triple H 10/10
Good match. A lot action too explain, but the edning is a classic. Benoit gets the cross-face on Triple H and make him tap. Benoit then celebrates with Eddie Guerrero. DO NOT SKIP!, it is really good.

Many people thought this ppv was not very good, but personally i thought it was exceptional.

Interview w/ Eddie Guerrero from "Byte This"

Great DVD. Buy it at best buy for $24.99!

Wrestlemania XX will remain one of my favorite Wrestlemanias ever, primarily because the two main events, especially the Raw main event. Those two matches alone are worth buying this DVD.

Big Show (C) v. John Cena
This is a pretty poor match. Put it this way, the Big Show isnt a great wrestler, and Cena only looks good when he's put in there with someone whose very talented. Not a great way to start the show, but for some reason, Cena was pretty over with the crowd so it got them pumped for the rest of the event.

Booker T & Rob Van Dam v. The Dudley Boys v. La Resistance v. Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade
This match was alright. The teams had good chemistry together, but Jindrak and Cade looked a little lost out there. The Dudleys and La Resistance are talented tag team wrestlers, and Booker and RVD always look good, so this is worth watching.

Christian v. Chris Jericho
This was a great match, with a nice surprise ending. Christian and Jericho are two very talented guys and I'm glad that they were given plenty of time for this match. This is the first really good match of the night.

Evolution v. the Rock & Sock Connection
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Neither the Rock nor Mick Foley had wrestled recently, but they looked great out there together. Batista was dominant as always, and Ric Flair was just fun to watch. Orton looked a little lost but he pulled it together half way through and helped out the match quite a bit.

Torrie Wilson & Sable v. Stacy Kiebler & Jackie Gayda, Playboy Evening Gown Match
If you want a wrestling match, skip this one. None of these four are good wrestlers. However, they are alot of fun to look at, so if you're in to that, go ahead and take a peek.

Cruiserweight Invitational: Chavo Guerrero v. Jamie Noble v. Funaki v. Ultimo Dragon v. Rey Mysterio v. Nunzio v. Tajiri v. Shannon Moore v. Billy Kidman
Yet again the cruiserweights are not given enough time. You have some tremendous talent in here, with the likes of Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Tajiri and Kidman, but this match just came off hurried and dull. Still fun to watch because these guys can perform some great moves, but not as good as it should have been.

Bill Goldberg v. Brock Lesnar, Special Guest Referee Steve Austin
I really didnt expect much from this one. Lesnar is an awful wrestler and Goldberg isnt all that much better. The most interesting part of this match was listening to the fans abuse Lesnar and Goldberg. Austin really made this match interesting. Both guys were leaving the company, and really the company was better off, especially without Lesnar. Worth a laugh, but not much to see here. It was nice to see someone beat the hell out of Lesnar, who is usually just allowed to dominate.

Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi v. the Basham Brothers v. the APA v. World's Greatest Tag Team
This match was a little better than the Raw version, given the incredible talent and skill that Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas possess. Scotty 2 Hotty and Ron Simmons both looked really good out there. Even the Bashams and JBL looked okay. Rikishi was fairly typical of his normal stuff, but this is worth watching.

Victoria v. Molly Holly
This was probably the end of the woman's division on Raw. It was one of the last good women's wrestling matches. These two are fairly decent, and although having Trish and Lita in there would have made it a very good match, this was still decent, although it was way too rushed.

Eddie Guerrero (C) v. Kurt Angle
This match was great. Eddie and Kurt are two amazingly talented wrestlers and they put on a hell of a show. The ending was especially great, and this match was just so much fun to watch.

Undertaker v. Kane
While this match wasnt quite as good as the Wrestlemania XIV version, it was still pretty good. It's nice to see the Deadman Gimmic back, but I think Undertaker was a little too dominating for this match to be taken seriously instead of just as another Undertaker beating.

Triple H (C) v. Chris Benoit v. Shawn Michaels
This is easily one of the greatest matches in Wrestlemania history. These three put on a tremendous contest, that went back and forth and sideways and seemed like it could end a thousand times but someone always made the save. A very exciting match, and definitely worth the cost of the whole DVD by itself.

Wrestlemania ended with one of the greatest moments in wrestling history, the two champions Guerrero and Benoit, standing in the middle of the ring celebrating. Benoit finally got the recognition he deserves, even though he may never get the title back again. But what a great time for professional wrestling. Guerrero and Benoit, two tremendous wrestlers, are the champions. Compare this to after Wrestlemania XXI where Batista and Cena were champions. Notice the difference?

Matches include:
Cena v Big Show. Passable however the 2 FUs were impressive and the crowd way hot for Cena. Great rap at the beginning of the match to get the crowd to jump start.

RVD and Booker v Dudleys v Jindrak and Cade v La Resistance. Terrible match and should have not been on the card. RVD and Booker look put together, Dudleys are stale as hell while the two other are not over in the slightest.

Jericho v Christian. A decent match with a shocking ending!. Trish as a heel will be interesting. This feus will contiue after Mania and will transform Jericho as a super-over face again.

Cruserweight Open, If given over 15 mins. would have been awesome considering the talent involved, they did the best they could in the limited time. Funny moment, Ultimo Dragon slipping in his entrance.

Rock and Foley v Evolution. Decent match, great exchanges between Rock and Flair. Rock is simply the most charismatic man in the histiry of wrestling and show why in the match. Flair can still go on occasion, and this was one of the occasion.

Goldberg v Lesnar. Dissapointing match, wrestlers did not care about the match and man the New York crowd let them know about it. However the negative crowd reactions made the match amusing. Good Bye Brock and Goldberg, judging by the reactions, wrestling fans won`t miss you!. These two ego maniacs legitimately passionate wrestlers like Benoit and Guerrero who appreciate being able to perform.

Torrie and Sable v Stacy and Jackie, terrible match, should only be featured assegemnt on the pre-show. Wrestling show should have wrestling matches, how do you think Lance Storm and Matt Hardy felt seeing this match. The two easily one of the most gifter wrestlers on the Rw brand and can`t find a space on the card.

Guerrero v Angle, technically good match. Mixed reaction for Angle made more entertaining. Two of the best technical wrestlers in the world will produce a great match, no doubt. Innovative ending to the match made it more special.

Victoria v Molly, only the ending is mildly ending. A nothing match.

Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty v APA v Bashams v WGTT, one excellent tag team + two god awful teams = disaster!. WGTT deserve better then this.

Undertaker v Kane, all the hype for the Undertaker to return in his old clothes with a hat. Extremely dissapointed with his return, not been Paul Bearer could make it entertaining. I was expecting the old outfit not the same outfit + a hat and overcoat. Once the bell rang, showed everyone why he should retire immediately.

Triple H v Michaels v Benoit, a phenomenal match, awesome crowd reaction for Benoit, one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time. Triple H was looking leaner and therefore was in better cardiovascular condition in the match. All three put there heart and soul in the match and will be remembered as a Wrestlemania moment in years to come.

Overall: The matches expected to rock did and the matches expected to suck did too. However, the matches that did rule makes up for the matches that did suck. Crowd reaction in MSG was dissapointing apart from the negative reaction for the Brock-Goldberg match and postive reaction for Triple Threat Match. Still a great Wrestlemania because of Jericho/Christian, Rock-Foley/Evolution, Guerrero/Angle, Triple H/HBK/Benoit and the disqust of the crowd for the Goldberg/Brock match.

I saw this wrestlemania last year at a friend's house on pay-per-view. When it came out on dvd, I immediately bought it, Being that i wanted to own this show so bad. This show was quite good and the only reason i don't give it that 5th star is because of the extreme dissapointment that came with the Goldberg-Lesnar match. Anyway, Here's my opinions on all the matches of this card:

1. For the WWE U.S. title
Champion The big show vs. John cena
This was a bad way to start the show. The match was boring and the moves weren't really that impressive at all. Skip this match. As interesting as Cena's raps are, It's just too bad that he isn't that good of a wrestler. In fact, I'm still waiting to see a match from Cena that's better than his debut wwe match he had against kurt angle on an episode of smackdown back in 2002. Cena wins the u.s. title from the big show. It's amazing that at the very next wrestlemania, Which took place this year, John Cena would become the wwe champion. *1/2

2. Fatal 4 way match for the WWE world tag team titles
Champions Booker T & Rob Van Dam Vs. The Dudley Boyz Vs. La Resistance Vs. Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade
This match was ok. This match did feature some great action from RVD and it is an improvement over the opening match. It's watchable. Booker & RVD retain the tag titles in this one. ***1/2

3. Chris Jericho Vs. Christian
Oh man! Why was this great match put on so early? This match was filled with excitement and great action. Both Jericho and Christian did an awesome job with this match and this is certainly one of the best matches on this show. Christian wins in a very shocking way. *****

4. 3 on 2 handicap match
The Rock n sock Connection vs. Evolution [Randy Orton, Ric Flair, & Batista]
The Rock and Mick Foley reunited their tag team to take on evolution last year. Well, This match was alright. At least i was able to make it through this match without falling asleep and i take that into consideration a lot. Evolution won when Randy Orton pinned Mick Foley following an RKO. Batista would go on to become the world champion at this year's wrestlemania. Randy Orton became the world champion just months later at last year's summerslam when he defeated Chris Benoit, Who would win the world title later on in the main event of this show. ***

5. Playboy Evening Gown match
Sable & Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Kiebler & Miss Jackie
If you seen one evening gown match, You've seen them all. Skip. Sable & Torrie won, But i don't think nobody really cared. No stars

6. Cruiserweight Open Invitational match
Champion Chavo Guerrero Vs. Billy Kidman Vs. Rey Mysterio Vs. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Nunzio Vs. Shannon Moore Vs. Tajiri Vs. Jamie Knoble Vs. Akio Vs. Funaki
Now this is what i'm talking about! This match was very exciting and it had many great impressive high flying moves to really catch a wrestling fan's attention. These 9 cruiserweights really did a great job with this match. Full of great fast-paced high flying action, This match is a definite highlight of this wrestlemania. Chavo retains the title with help from his father, Chavo sr. I would've liked it even more if Mysterio Or Kidman or Tajiri won this match, But oh well, This match is already excellent as it is! *****

7. Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar
Special Referee: Stone Cold Steve Austin
This was 1 of the matches i looked forward to seeing at this wrestlemania. Unfortunately, This match really failed to live up to its hype. The match went far too slow and let's face it, There was absolutely no reason for these 2 guys to stay in a tie up for over 4 minutes!!! There was very limited action in this match and if you haven't seen this match but wanna see this match, Don't bother. Trust me, This match is nowhere near as good as you probably are expecting it to be. 2nd worst match on this event. Only reason this even gets a star is because it's better than that stupid evening gown match that took place earlier. Other than that, A big waste of time. Unfortunately, This was the last night that either of these guys appeared in the WWE. What a dissapointing end to both of these guys wrestling careers. Goldberg won. *

8. Fatal 4 way match for the WWE world tag team titles
Champions Scotty 2 hotty & Rikishi Vs. The Acolytes Vs. Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas vs. The basham brothers
This match was decent. It wasn't as good as raw's fatal 4 way tag match, But hey, It was WAY better than that last match before it. Scotty & Rikishi retain the tag titles in this match. 1 thing that is unbelievable is that Bradshaw would win the wwe world title just a few months later after this match. **1/2

9. For the WWE women's title
Champion Victoria Vs. Molly Holly
This match was watchable to say the least. It's better than most women's matches that take place in the WWE today and to be able to say that, That's enough for me to give this match an average rating. Victoria retains the belt and as a stipulation, Molly's Hair gets shaved. **1/2

10. For the WWE world title
Champion Eddie Guerrero Vs. Kurt Angle
This was a great match! Two of the best wrestlers in the WWE today put on an awesome match. The action was very impressive, It was fast-paced, The wrestling was very unpredictable, And the match was never boring. These 2 always put on a good show when they're in the ring against each other. If you're a fan of either of these guys, You should most definitely watch this match. I guarantee you will love it. Even has an awesome ending courtesy of Guerrero. Guerrero retains the title. ***** [Best match on the event]

11. The Undertaker Vs. Kane
This match wasn't really that good. It was too one-sided and it was a little too short. I was only able to get through this match with ease because it was the return of The Undertaker, Who's 1 of my all-time favorites. **1/2

12. Triple Threat Match for the World Title
Champion Triple H Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. Chris Benoit
This was a great main event. The wrestling was good, The match wasn't no longer than what it needed to be, And something that was long overdue finally happened at the end of this match. This match was very entertaining and all 3 of the wrestlers in this match gave it their all. This match never got boring and the more it went on, The more i anticipated its ending. To my [And hopefully, Many fans] Delight, Benoit forced Triple H to tap out to the crossface and he finally became the world title. You can really tell that Benoit truly wanted that belt, Being that he even went as far as to cry at the end of this match. And it was quite an emotional moment when Benoit And Guerrero hugged each other and cryed together as the world champions of the WWE. It's a shame that they had to lose their belts to Randy Orton and Bradshaw. These 2 guys should have, In my opinion, spent the rest of last year as champions. An awesome main event and a great way to end this show. *****

All in all, This was a good wrestlemania. Right about now, This wrestlemania and all the other wrestlemanias can be found in a box set that was just released by the WWE. You have 2 choices, You can buy the entire box set which has all of the first 21 wrestlemanias, and believe me, That box set is extremely expensive, or You can take the cheaper, Smarter way out and buy the box set by individual 5-set volumes [Which cost about $50-60 a piece]. This wrestlemania was great. WWE fans should like this wrestlemania a lot. Well, I hope my review helped. Be blessed.

What a great DVD to own, bought it the first day it came out evntough I saw live when first aired. The packaging starting from the front cover and the inside folding backround is awesome. From watching wrestling for so many years, the intensity of this event at Madison Square Garden was spectactular, the crowd was just unbelivable. I enjoyed mostly every match, with an exeption of a few. The Crusierweight tournament was completly rushed, not very entertaining. The evening gown match was just to treat the men, pure entertainment nothing else. Although I felt it got critisized too much, Goldberg Vs. Lesnar was still a little dissapointing, both men did not show there best stuff, the crowd let them know too, since it was indeed the last match for both men for the company at unless otherwise.. The long stare down at first was not very fun to sit through. If you watch this match, you may like the crowd reaction more so than the actual wrestling. The ending was wierd, as Stone Cold shows he is a man. The ending to the Christian Vs. Jericho match was funny. Angle Vs. Guerrero was anice solid match, what wrestlemania should be all about. The main event was a classic, great way to close out the show. The extra are great, which include Pre and Post match Wrestler Comments. Many interesting notes from the previuos Wrestlemania'a, Ten Greatest matches, sevral sets of trivia questions, delted scenes, some hidden easter eggs, A phot gallery from all 19 prior Wrestlemani'a with results. Just a great 3-disc. WWE did a great job with everyting regarding Wrestlemania XX.

Judging by previous reviews, I think March 14th, 2004 was doomed to fall short of the hype. Vince McMahon made it clear that his focus was for Wrestlemania XX to represent the start of a new era and to elevate new superstars in contrast to bringing back old names and rehashing old themes. Many fans hated this idea, and when the idea was achieved, fans still hated it. Denouncing Wrestlemania XX merely for the absence of Bret and Hogan is a bit unfair. But I'd still say that Wrestlemania XX could have been a much better show.

Instead of where was Hogan and Bret, how about, where was Matt Hardy? Where was Paul London? Where was Lance Storm? They had to have felt at least a little offended for being left off the show for the embarrassing display of bikini wrestling. What a joke that was. Another part that got me a bit peeved was the Cruiserweight Championship. Along with the Paul London comment earlier, I think Vince has no clue how much his cruiserweights are truly appreciated. A disorganized 10 minute match with 10 different wrestlers is a pathetic attempt to try and fit (almost) your entire cruiserweight division into the show. A big disappointment with a lot left to be desired.

On the flip side, there were plenty of those Wrestlemania moments that will be remembered forever. How can anyone forget the Brock Lesnar and Goldberg encounter? Yes, the match was god awful and the enthusiasm from both wrestlers was extremely pedestrian, but MSG crowd made this match. The chants they came up with were ingenious and really shows the intelligence the average WWE fan possesses. We appreciated wrestlers with dedication to the business and leave their heart out in the ring, not those with large muscles who just work to receive their paycheck. They let Lesnar and Goldberg how they felt and it was exciting to behold. I hope Vince got the message.

The other Wrestlemania moment to me was the main event Triple Threat Match and the events that followed it. The match itself was a masterpiece and it really put those critics to rest who said that a triple threat match was doomed to fail. All 3 wrestlers fought their hearts out. The Benoit chants throughout the match brought a huge smile to my face and I give big props to the MSG crowd for cheering the most underappreciated wrestler in the business. The ending was true suspense. The crowd pop when Benoit reversed the Pedigree into the Crossface was unbelievable. I'll never forget Benoit's genuine tears as touched the title for the first time. Eddie Guerrero's appearance at the end to congratulate Benoit was a great touch to the greatest ending to any wrestling pay-per-view ever. Just Benoit and Guerrero hugging each other and raising each other's title-holding hands as the show fades to black. That is what Wrestlemania should be all about.

Great Show with one of the greatest moments in wrestlemania history...

John Cena vs. Big Show (US Title Match)

pretty good match with a heck of a finish. 6/10

RVD and Booker T vs Cade and Jindrak vs The Dudley Boyz vs La Resistance (World Tag Title Match)

another pretty good match...RVD and booker put on another great performance. 6/10

Christian vs Chris Jericho

a very solid match that told a really good story with a good twist for an ending. 7.5/10

Evolution vs Rock N'Sock Connection

A good match with entertaining spots from flair and the rock, typical mick foley stuff, some real power from batista, and a really good showing for orton. 7.5/10

Torrie and Sable vs Keibler and Jackie

Nothing other than filler.

Cruiserweight Open Match

Really good showing. Only problem was it was too short. But great showings by Mysterio, Noble, Dragon, Kidman and Chavo and solid stuff from everyone else. 7/10

Goldberg vs Lesnar (Austin as Special Guest Referee)

Terrible, terrible match. Neither one seemed really interested in the match seeing as it was both of their lasts. Even Austin couldn't save it. 2/10

Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty vs The APA vs The Bashams vs The World's Greatest Tag Team

Solid Match, nothing spectacular. Kinda dumb stipulations with the tags and all but a decent match nonetheless. Would've liked to see Farooq get in there but it was cool without him. 5.5/10

Victoria vs Molly Holly (Women's Championship vs Hair Match)

Really good showing by both women. Not either of their best work but good nonetheless. 6.5/10

Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle (WWE Championship Match)

A GREAT match. I'm a huge fan of Eddie's and this was one of my favorite matches of his with a great ending that plays to Eddie's gimmick. Awesome match. 9.5/10

Kane vs Undertaker

Glorified squash match, but still rather entertaining. Best part was taker's entrance. It was great to see and hear Paul Bearer again. Brought back LOTS of memories. 6/10 (More for the entertainment and entrances {Kane's was a sight too} than the match itself)

Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels (World Heavyweight Title Match)

Awesome match that got pretty brutal at points and had lots of back and forth action. up there w/ taker, angle and rock at vengeance 02 as one of the best triple threat matches ever. 9/10

Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero in the ring at the end. One of the greatest Wrestlemania moments in history. Overall really good. The crowd was awesome, but then again MSG crowds always are. The crowd gave almost every match that wrestlemania feel to it, especially in the benoit and goldberg matches. the crowd was AMAZING during those 2. but overall a very solid wrestlemania.
