3.0 out of 5 stars Main event saves this show!!!, March 22, 2005

By 

Chris Honaker "reviewman" (Elizabethtown, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WWF: WrestleMania XII [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The downfall to this show was the fact that the whole focus was on the main event. With that being said, there was little time focused on the other matches. I guess that's understandable when you consider the fact that the main event was 60 minutes long and the show was limited to under 3 hours. There were a few decent matches but overall it's not really worth the money.
Here's the card

Six man tag
1. Jake Roberts, Ahmed Johnson, and Yokozuna vs Bulldog, Owen, and Vader
- the real focus of the match was Yoko and Vader feud. Everybody else was thrown in each to make the originally planned Yoko vs Vader match more interesting. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The match was rushed and their wasn't that much action in the match. The match was nothing more than Vader squashing the aging Jake Roberts.
Rating *

2. Parking Lot Brawl: Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Golddust
- I don't really understand the motive behind making this type of match. I can't really rate it b/c it's not really a match. Definately had some entertaining moments but entertaining alone doesn't make a good match.

3. Steve Austin vs Savio Vega
- The crowd was pretty much dead throughout this match and I can see why. It was not interesting at all. Austin tried to save this match but just couldn't. These two would have a way better match at the Beware of Dog ppv in May of that year in a strap match. Austin wins the million dollar dream (gee I wonder who taught him that move?)
Rating *

4. Triple H vs Ulimate Warrior
- The warrior made his return after being absent for nearly four years and just couldn't perform at the level he once could. Triple H attacks him before the bell and hits a pedigree but Warrior refuses to sell it. That's strange considering HHH has beating some of the best in the business with that move. Warrior gets jacked up and hits a few clothslines, press slam, and splash for the win. I'm no HHH fan, but I didn't think he deserved to be treated like this. Oh, well Vince made it up to him in the last 6 years.

Rating DUD

5. Diesel (kevin nash) vs Undertaker
- Nash was two months away from leaving the WWE to join WCW and form the NWO but leaves with a decent effort here. This wasn't your typical big men with no moves matches. Pretty cool when Undertaker quickly rised up after two jackknife powerbombs. Taker shows his strength by grabbing Nash by the neck after kicking out of a close pinfall and gets up fast to deliver a chokeslam and the tombstone to seal the deal. Not bad at all.
Rating **

Iron Man Match
6. HBK vs Bret Hart
- I didn't know what to think about a match where two guys fight for an hour. Sometimes, it's hard to get the fans attention after 20 minutes of action but this match delivered and sets the tone for the few later Iron Man Matches after this one. HBK outwrestled Bret for the first 10-15 minutes until Bret aggressively took over. HBK took some sick bumps in this one. The back suplex from the top rope and the backdrop out of the ring was brutual. Another cool part of this match is that you see both men do moves they have never done before. I don't recall Hart using a camel clutch and a belly to belly suplex before or HBK using a fisherman suplex. Again, great match with top notch wrestling that will leave you at the edge of your seat. Of course, noone score a victory in the whole hour so it went in to OT where Michaels took over and used the sweet chin music to become the heavyweight champ for the first time and well deserved. Couldn't been much better.

Rating *****

Overall, the only good match was the main event. The rest of the card was rushed and their was not enough good action. A decent Taker vs Nash match is the other highlight of the show.
Unless, you really want to check out the main event, I would not recommend this tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bret and Michaels in one heck of an match!, September 14, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: WWF: WrestleMania XII [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The iron man match at Wrestlemania 12 between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels was a great scientific match.Both men gave it their all and if you notice in the match Shawn who's wrestling style is more of an lucha libre,high flying,acrobatic wrestler like style actually wrestled the match more to Brets style;technician wrestling.An good match w/a lot of memorable moments;Shawn accidentally superkicking Toney Chimel,Bret w/an sleeper hold to Shawn in the middle of the ring,Shawn w/an moonsault off the top rope to the outside on Bret,and Shawn winning the match with two superkicks to Brets face.What a match,which was good wrestling by both men.Well Shawn may have won the match,but Bret will alyways be the best there is,the best there was,and the best there ever will be.This is Kenneth McKay and I will write another review on another match soon.....look out!
