5.0 out of 5 stars ...of all time..., April 29, 2004

By 

Tommy G. (Fayetteville, AR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WWF: WrestleMania X-Seven (DVD)

The three words "of all time" get thrown around a lot in this day and age, and I am not innocent of constantly uttering them myself, in effect watering down their significance. But when I say that Wrestlemania X7 is the greatest Wrestlemania -- even greatest PPV -- OF ALL TIME, I am not exaggerating. Everything from the opening montage to the post-main event celebration was electric live on PPV and none of that electricity is lost on DVD.

This was a Wrestlemania that WWF needed to succeed, what with the failure of the previous year's Wrestlemania 2000. The WWF attained that success with X7, in everything from the card to live attendance to PPV buys. Most of the matches had well built storylines and were just great matches in themselves. Another treat was the Gimmick Battle Royal featuring special appearances by the always-welcome Bobby Heenan and Mean Gene.

One aspect to this PPV that made it such a success was the diversity of the card. Wrestlemania 2000 was bogged down in tag team matches, triple threats and unproven wrestlers. X7, however, had something for everyone. Technical wrestling fans will drool over Benoit vs. Angle for years to come. Hardcore fans love the TLC II match. Fans of the over-the-top storylines were into the father vs. son match. And fans of the industry's top two stars at the time, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, will always remember fondly their main event that night on April Fool's day in 2001.

The DVD extras aren't much, but what do you need with extras when the PPV event itself gives you one hell of a show? Even with all of the positives on this show, there are some negatives. In the aformentioned father vs. son match, fans did not react well to Shane's WCW allegiance and this slightly took away from the impact of his win over Vince, although it was more Linda McMahon's win than Shane's. Also, some of the other matches just didn't click for whatever reason. Although a very decent opener, Regal vs. Jericho was a bit off, as the latter was going 100MPH and Regal just didn't seem to be in key that night. Chyna vs. Ivory was an atypical squash match akin to those we used to see on WWF Superstars in the late 80's. But one of the greatest advantages DVD has over VHS is the ability to go to the next scene instantaneously at the press of a button.

Wrestlemania is WWF(E) and pro wrestling at its best. Get this DVD.

80-76%-perfect
75-71%-awsome
70-66%-good
65-61%-poor
60-56%-awful

1. Y2J vs. William Regal for the ITC title- This was a good choice as an opener. Nothing reakky special in this match but some solid wrestling in the match. There styles were a little different but regal played his part well and the right person won and got the crowd off to a good start. Winner and still ITC champ Y2J. match RAting 7/10.

2. APA and tazz vs. Right to censor- This was an average filler at best but it got its job done. A good idea to let bradshaw wrestle in his home state. He cut a good promo during the match as well. A good choice at 5 minutes and both teams put effort in the time they were given. Good filler. Winners APA and Tazz. Match rating 6.5/10.

3. Kane vs. Big Show vs. Raven for the hardcore title- This was when the event started to pick up a little. I liked this idea to put kane and big show in a hardcore match because i think they fit better in that type of match. There was not alot of hardcore action but enough and it was rather entertaining. A really nice window spot were raven gets throughn through a glass window. Winner and new wwe hardcore champ Kane. Match RAting 7.5/10.

4. Eddie Guerrero vs. Test for the europen title- This was another filler nut it played out better than i thought it would. Eddie really played his part well in this match. Thg interference from saturn helped and there were no slow spots in the match. Also a little lying cheating and stealing and that makes for a great match and a new europen cahmp. Winner and new wwe europen champ Eddie Guerrero. match Rating 7/10.

5. Chris Beniot vs. kurt Angle- This was a really good wrestling match. It started out really slow and was boring but after the first 3 minutes it started to pick up. There were some awsome wrestling holds and lots of suplexs which made this match awsome. Some good near falls and the first really good match of the night and you cant go wrong with the 10th best match in wrestlemaina history. Winner kurt angle. Match rating 9/10.

6. Chyna vs. Ivory for the womens title- This was an awful match. the only thing i can say that the wwe did right with this match was let chyna win the womens title. This was about a 3 minute match and it was a squash by chyna. Winner and new wwe womens champ chyna. Match Rating 2/10.

7. Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon in a street fight- This was alot better match then i tought it was going to be. This told a good storyline and it brought alot of intenstity to the match. The match did not have alot of items in it but it did fine without it. Anice table spot by shane and a really surprising face turn by trish turning on vince. There were some nice chair shots and we got to see the van termanator for the first time in wwe by shane. Winner Shane McMahon. Match Rating 9/10.

8. Edge and christian vs. The dudleys vs. the hardys for the wwe tag team titles in a TLC match- This was an awsome match. It was probley the best match in there whole series. There were some nice moves by all men. There were some sick chair shots and there were some awsome interferences by spike lita and rhyno. Jeff hardy took some huge risks in this match. There was one spot were edge was on a 15 foot ladder and jumped in the air and speared jeff hardy to the campus got to see to belive and the whole 16 minutes there was not one boring spot in the whole match. Winners and new wwe tag team champs edge and christian. Match Rating 10/10.

9. The gimmick battle royal- This was not a good match but it was more to see the ledgens of the wwe. There were some good legends there and i tought that was the whole point of this match not much to say because it was not that long of a match. Winner the iron shiek. Match Rating 4/10.

10. HHH vs. Undertaker- this was not so much a wrestling match as it was a brawl. This was fine with me because i tought it was better that way. The begining of the match was just some normal wrestling and once the ref got knocked out by taker it was a brawl. There were some awsome chair shots by HHH and a nice chockslam by taker that was m=nice. Some awsome near falls that kept me on the edge of my seat and i tought it was over when hhh nailed taker with the sledgehammer. A nice win and a bloody taker makes for a good match. Winner undertaker. Match RAting 9/10.

11. Stone cold vs. The rock for the wwe title NO DQ- This was an awosme way to close out the ppv. A great choice by the wwe to make this match a no dq. It started out with some good intensity and never slowed down for the whole 30 minutes. This was the best match the ever had in my opinion. There were not alot of itmes used but it did not slow down the match. There were some absolute brutal chair shots by austin near the end of the match and they looked like they killed. There were so many near falls in this match the crowd was on there feet for 5 minutes straight and proboly the most i have ever seen a crowd into a match. Absolute awsome main event and a nice heel turn by austin. Winner and new wwe champ stone cold. Match Rating 10/10.

Well that raps up another. I would give wrestlemaina 17 a grade of 77.5/110 which is a 73.6% which means this is an awsome ppv. I think that sums it up and i would get this dvd no matter what it takes it is a must have dvd. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not. Thanks for your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest WrestleMania Ever!, March 9, 2007

By 

Scotty M. "Little Nose" (Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: WWF: WrestleMania X-Seven (DVD)

Many people refer to WrestleMania 17 as the "Greatest WrestleMania Of All Time" & some will even go further then that & dare to say that this is argubably "The Greatest Wrestling Pay-Per-View" ever. With arguments could be made for both of those statements, this event is undoubtfully a must see event.

WrestleMania 17 was a significant event in World Wrestling Entertainment's history at the time. With WrestleMania 2000 previously failing on so many levels such as too many tag team matches, triple threats, & unproven wrestlers that didn't belong on the card whatsoever, WWE needed WrestleMania X-Seven to succeed & it did.

This WrestleMania card had something for everyone to appreciate that WrestleMania 2000 didn't have. True technical wrestling for the true wrestling fans in the Benoit/Angle confrontation, hardcore wrestling for the die-hard ECW fans in the Hardcore Title Match & in the TLC 2 Match, over-the-top storylines including the Father vs. Son McMahon Family Street Fight involving all four members of the McMahon Family, having the Gimmick Battle Royal for entertainment, & having 4 of the greatest superstars (at the time) squaring off against one another in HHH vs. Undertaker & in the main event as The Rock battled Stone Cold Steve Austin with the aftermath surprising everyone in the building & watching on TV.

Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho Vs. William Regal - A very good choice for an opener. Nothing really memorable or exciting in the match but solid wrestling. Jericho was selling his injured shoulder leaving Regal targeting it throughout the match. Not a technical masterpiece but its a match that did its job. 3.5/5

A.P.A. & Tazz Vs. Right To Censor - This was an average filler at best but it served its purpose. Bradshaw cut an appropriate promo before the match & it was a good idea to have Bradshaw wrestle in his home state. Both teams put in a good effort for the 5 minutes they were out there & it was a good choice to allow this match to be on the card. 2.25/5

WWE Hardcore Champion Raven Vs. Kane Vs. The Big Show - This is the part of the night where the event truly begins to shine & pick up. Raven was put at a disadvantage from that start as he was in there with Kane & The Big Show. Kane & TBS worked really well in this type of environment & Raven did his best to go back to his ECW ways to put on a good Hardcore Match. This match was entertaining from start to finish & it delivered. 3.5/5

European Champion Test Vs. Eddie Guerrero - This was another filler match but it played out well. Test's best run in his career was in 2001 & Eddie has the ability to have a good match with just about anyone so this match was good. Some slight interferences from Radicalz member Saturn with a little "lyin', cheatin', & stealin'" from Eddie that made for a good match. A good performance from both men & this was a good match for the now shelved European Title. 4/5

Kurt Angle Vs. Chris Benoit - The Olympic Gold Medalist & The Rabid Wolverine put on one great wrestling match. This is also the first true technical match at a WrestleMania since Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels from WM 12. Everything a wrestling match should have, Benoit & Angle gave it. Lots of great suplexes, reversals, finsher escapes, near falls, high risk, & everything in between. This is a great one-on-one match & one of the bests in WrestleMania history. 5/5

WWE Women's Champion Ivory Vs. Chyna - This is a total squash match. WWE did the rigth thing to give Chyna the belt but Chyna deserved more credibility then this. This match is borderlining as the WORST Women's Title Match ever. This is the only low note of the night. 1.5/5

Shane McMahon Vs. Vince McMahon w/Mick Foley as the Special Referee (Street Fight) - This is a lot better of a match then what many thought it was going to be. The Street Fight rules was a good stipulation to the match & it really added more flavor to the match as well. The story told in the match was very good & it felt real at the same time. You could really feel the intensity in this match. A couple of good spots with Shane doing his usual table spot & also using the Van-Terminator for the first time in his offense with the shocking face-turn in Trish. A very good match that everyone will enjoy. 4/5

WWE Tag Team Champions The Dudley Boyz Vs. Edge & Christian Vs. The Hardy Boyz (Tables, Ladders, & Chairs Match) - These 3 teams took what they did at SummerSlam last year to a whole other level. TLC II has much more crash & burn spots, more death defying antics, more table crashes, more chair shots, & more breath taking moments then what TLC I had with special cameos from Rhyno, Lita, & Spike Dudley. This is one exciting match that did its due where it was amazing for every second all 3 of these teams were out there. 5/5

Gimmick Battle Royal - This is just an over-the-top battle royal featuring some of the WWE's most interesting & unique superstars from the past that includes Sgt. Slaughter, The Iron Sheik, Doink The Clown, Repo Man, Tug Boat, Earthquake, The Goon, Kamala, The Bushwackers, Nikolai Volkoff, Hillbilly Jim, Michael Hayes, & others with special commentating done by "Mean" Gene Okerlund & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Its entertaining but nothing special. 2/5

Undertaker Vs. Triple H - This wasn't a wrestling match by any means, it was war from start to finish. Undertaker & HHH started the match very wildly & crazy and when the referee got taken out, this match turned into an out of control slugfest where the majority of the match is fought in the crowd. The last 10 minutes of the match is the most exciting where HHH & Undertaker has a great offensive exchange until HHH suffers to The Last Ride. Do not expect a 5 star classic wrestling match here as this match is the complete opposite. 4.25/5

WWE Champion The Rock Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (No Disqualification Match) - Props has to be given to WWE for making this match No DQ & allowing Stone Cold & The Rock to hold nothing back in this match. This main event has everything from technical wrestling, brawling, weapon use, blood, intensity, finisher escapes & stealing of the finshers, & eveything in between. Stone Cold & The Rock always have great chemistry together & this match is no exception as it is argubably their best match together. The Rock & Austin kept the match exciting with having no dull or boring moments in the match at all. This match will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through. The last 5 minutes will blow your breath away with the surprising heel turn of Steve Austin. A fantastic main event & an awesome way to end "The Grand Daddy Of Them All". 5/5

WrestleMania X-Seven is THE BEST WrestleMania ever. If you want to see everything a PPV is suppose to have, then I highly recommend purchasing WrestleMania X-Seven.
