  • u remind me of william regal

  • To bad the Ric Flair and HBK match is now irrelavent.....not saying it wasnt fantastic,....it was, but the whole retirement thing is now is basically irrelavent

  • Comment removed

  • Great review

    This event was fabulous, Ric Falir vs Michaels was amazing and so was Undertaker vs Edge

    Also Check out my review on this event aswell.

  • Sorry, i was retarded back then. :)

  • PPV Rateing: 9.0

    JBL vs. Finlay: ***

    Money in the Bank Ladder Match: ****

    Umaga vs. Batista: *1/4

    Chavo Guerrero vs. Kane: DUD

    Ric Flair vs. HBK: ****1/2

    BunnyMania -- Lumberjill Match: *1/2

    Randy Orton vs. HHH vs. John Cena:***1/2

    Floyd Mayweather vs The Big Show: ***

    Edge vs. The Undertaker: *****

  • thought edge vs Undertaker was like 5 star material

  • i loved 21 mitb cuz i was there and it was a first for everyting

  • I thought MitB match for Mania 24 was the best one out of all MitB matches!

  • 20 wasnt very good.

    17, 15, and 24 were best

  • stubid bricks thumb downing your comment just because u think differently to them i thought usa was about free speech, oh well at least i'm English

  • 15 was shit.

  • i was there to it was great!

  • its good that the chavo/kane match was that short, im sure most of us didnt wanna see it anyway. short and sweet.

  • there was 4 MITB btw, not 3

  • He talked about the past 3, in which he didn't include the one at WM24..

  • there was 5. WM 21,WM 22,WM 23,, WM 24, Raw homecoming Edge Vs Matt Hardy.

  • Raw homecoming doesnt count.. and if it does, then Edge vs Benoit at backlash counts, and same with RVD vs Shelton Benjamin

  • Hmmm,true.

  • lol i know :P

  • PFT< anyway getting ready for WM about 18 hours now.

  • arent we all

  • i was there...

  • eddies last wrestlemania was 21 against rey mysterio

  • best mania was either 17, or 18 simply for the hogan rock crowed reaction, that match alone made the ppv magic

  • Flair V HBK, was amazing, but I thought Edge V Taker, was the Match of the night.

  • flair vs michaels was a great match but i dont think it would have been anywhere as near as good if it wasnt flairs last match if this was just a normal match at wm hardly anyone would still be talking about it

  • I agree to so extent, but the back story is every bit as important to a match as the actual content of the match. Like the Super Bowl last year would've been just a boring game with a good final 4 minutes had it been played by two 5-10 teams in Week 17. But since the championship was at stake it's an all time great game.

  • The match wouldn't have been as good in terms of emotion. the whole story was about flairs last match and michaels ending flairs career.

  • I'm confused...how does someone give a match 4 and 3/4 stars instead of 5? Is there just nuances in certain matches that have to be upheld (i.e. 0 botches of any sort, perfect story, edge of your seast action)?

  • WM 23 was the worst retard.

  • wtf 23 was better than 9? i dont think so

  • When did I ever say that?

  • you said 23 was the worst mania

    i think 9 is the worst

    worst i have seen

  • yeah 9 was pretty bad now that you mention it

  • i can think of (at least) two 9 & 20

  • 20 was one of the greatest of all time.

  • i wasn't INTO that one

  • also this was the FOURTH mitb NOT the THIRD

  • 17 was the best,then 19,then 20

  • Thats complete BS. Firstly, Rock/Austin isnt universally rated high just because of it was Rock and Austin. Its rated the way it is because evrything about it worked. The storyline was great. The build was great. It topped off one of the best shows I've ever seen. The atmosphere was crazy. The wrestling and psychology in it were great. Everything worked. W/ Taker/HHH, it was a really great brawl and, up to that point, it was prolly Taker's best WM match. 19 is great, but I'll take 17 over it

  • Taker/HHH was a good brawl but it was a HORRIBLE wrestling match. It was sloppy and boring to be exact. I watched it back then and its just another Name vs Name match. Taker's Best WM match? even Vs Batista was better than that shit not to mention vs HBK. Austin/Rock was just promos and promos. Seriously it wasnt like Austin or Rock are any better than Wrestlers today like Cena and Randy Orton. People say Cena have 5 moves when Austin has 3. The Elbow the Lou Thesz Press The Stunner.

  • Firstly, read wat I wrote again. I said "up to that point" it was his best WM match. Second, I don't know how u can say w/ a straight face that Austin and Rock aren't better than Cena and Orton. I like Cena and I've never rly understood the hate, but he's not on Austin or Rock's level in the ring or on the mic. Not saying he won't get there, but he's not yet. And Orton's overrated IMO. He needs 2 b in there w/ some1 as talented or more talented than him 2 put on a great match.

  • Austin and Rock are just as Overated as Cena and Orton. I will dare say that Cena has more wrestling skills than Rock and Austin because all Rock and Austin could do was do promos. Yes Cenas nowhere near the mic work of them but in the ring, Austin is Horrible and Rock is stale.

  • Seriously? I don't mean to discount Cena's already maligned abilities, but your argument is ridiculous. 1st, how is Rock stale when ppl still dream 4 him 2 jus make a WWE appearance? And ur wrestling argument is even more ubsurd. How is Austin horrible. Watch his matches against Hart (Owen n Bret), HBK, HHH, Steamboat, Pillman, Angle, Benoit, Y2J, Taker, Foley, etc. For u 2 say that Austin is "horrible" makes me question whether or not you've seen 2 many of his matches.

  • People dream for Rockass to come back to make a damn promo thats all. Its not like he can actually wrestle or something, Those that dream of him are just 30 year olds that cant get over the fact that rock was and always is a sell out. Austin's match against Hart was Good but not 5 star material, It had little to no tech wrestling and was just hardcore. If you want hardcore look for ECW 1999. HBKs match at WM14 WAS NOT GOOD. The only people austin had a good match with are both harts and Angle.

  • Austin/Bret from WM13 is generally regarded as one of the top 3 matches in WM history and one of the best matches of the 90s. And watch their match from Survivor Series 96. And I wasn't talking about his match w/ HBK @ WMXIV. I'm talking about their KOTR match from 97, which was really good. You obviously have never seen it so u should check it out. W/ Rock, ppl want 2 c him cuz of the promos n he can put on GREAT matches w/ HBK or Rey or Cena (all of whom he's never had 1 on 1s w/)

  • "Rock can put on great matches with HBK Rey or Cena" Too bad he never did. I have seen KOTR 1997, The PPV was shit and I didnt enjoy their match. Yeah exactly People only want to see Rock because of his promos. Its not like his matches with Hogan Austin are actually that good.

    Austin/Hart was carried by Hart like I said before. It is not in the top 3 matches however, I can name betters- Shawn/Razor at WM10 Bret/Owen at WM10 Savage/Flair Savage/Steamboat HHH/Benoit/HBK, HBK/Kurt Angle HBK/taker

  • Do u finish reading anything? I said "all of whom he's never had 1 on 1s w/." At this point it jus seems like u dont want to admit that Rock and Austin were great wrestlers.

  • cena's never put on a 5 star match

  • maybe not but most of his matches are 3.5- 4.5 matches. no joke. Especially his matches with orton all of them deliver.

  • i agree....ppl hate on cena but alot of his matches deliver....and i dont wanna hear ppl say well he has to get carried.....thats one mark of being a good worker

  • how many ppl on the roster hav put on 5 star matches ??

    (hbk,taker,hhh are 4rm the past so they are not included)

  • shelton but it was the one with hbk on raw lol great match check it out

  • i can name quite a few ppl that carried him close to a 5 star match

  • i would rather watch a rock match than a cena match and im not a fan of austin but he was very good technically earlier in his career but with his character change had to be more of a brawler

  • Obviously because youre only 12 and started watching wrestling not more than 2 years ago.

    I never said i was a Cena fan and Rock hater, Its both ways, I also hate cena.

    So you can go fuck yourself now

  • And that doesnt say much because Bret Owen and Angle are carrying the match.

    Austins matches were all pure entertainment, No real Technique wrestling involved. Yeah he just does a few fingers taunts and then stunner.

  • Watch his matches before he got hurt in 97 in WCW n WWF. He was consistently putting on good to great matches. He had 2 adopt more of a brawling style afterwards because of his neck. Seriously, think before u type this stuff...

  • i watch ufc too but wwe is way more entertaining

  • great ppv...but i dnt get how u rate most of the matches bad and yet call it amazing. maybe because the great matches made up for it...i duno,

  • He's rating the show as a whole..there may have been a few bad matches but there were 4 **** matches and the overall event was fun and enjoyable as a whole.

  • Okay thanks.

  • to be completly honest lol.

  • naw this ywars mitb was better then WM22. yeah this show was alot of fun

  • How much reviews did you do for Wrestling Shows and especially this high amount of ROH Shows??? Where did you get this hundreds of Roh Shows...you seem to have too much time;-)

  • how can i watch ROH because just when you think wwe is going to change you get fatal 4 ways and king Regal which is was a waste of a chance to put someone over! and TNA is horrible and i cant listen to Don West scream the entire show.

  • in every wwe ppv is at least one or two matches dq mostly in title matches because they want the current champion to keep the titel but they have no ideas for storylines

  • just stop!

  • at least its not like Tna matches ending with interfences and trying to DQ out

  • wow. most wrestling is just grapples and strikes. REALLY?

  • Ooo. That'd be good Taker vs Kane, both world heavyweight and ecw title on the line.

  • because youre fuckin hybograt son of bitch

  • i dont agree with Batista not being there

  • no the rock is goin to come back and end taker streak

  • HAHAHAH PROVE IT!

  • Umaga really tried but Btista 's a bitch

    can't blame Teh ECW match cause Kane and Chavo styles don't blend well

  • but Kane becomes a monster for winning so quick so its really good at least for me

  • yours either and why do you bother even watching kid?

  • then why did you watch the vid

    dumbass

  • Dude what the hell? WRESTLEMANIA is a supposed to be a fun show not a WRESTLING show. Wow what a dumbass. Although you did redeem yourself with the money in the bank match is was the worst of all of the mitb, but it was still awesome. Batista v umaga could have been alot better. I like the umaga character. Im a kane fan but i had no interest in watching him wrestle chavo. Not the Chavo can't wrestle but because the only reason he has a job is b/c of his last name.

  • his streak must eventualy end. But who could possibly end it?

  • In my honest opinion, it should be nobody.......but Kane. I feel he's the right person to end Taker's streak.

  • I agree on Kane being the rightful person to end Taker's streak. Problem is, I doubt he'll do it.

  • i agree, i also hear that Taker wants Kane to end his streak

  • shawn micheals

  • KNowing the WWE, Taker will probably lose a 3-way match. Not getting pinned...putting no one over. Nothing.

    I doubt you'd come accross another more golden oppertunity for Taker to lose than to Edge. He never faced a guy like Edge at Wrestlemania.

    Here's to correcting this wrong come next year in Texas. Edge-Taker II anyone?

  • i beleave MVP should end it cuz his chacter says he the highest paid star on smackdown.that would b the best way to put mvp over

  • Undertakers Winning Streak will NEVER end!!!

  • Hey Truthslayer. I wanted to know when [and if]you think Takers streak at mania will end. i mean the person do it will obviously get a tremendous push. Also if you do thnk it will, by who?

  • lmao his streak is never going to end.

    undertaker will give a push to any wrestler throught out the year except for one day.

    wrestlemania day.I think thats fair.considering the years he put in and the fact that helped vince make alot of money.and if triple politics couldnt beat taker at wrestlemania what makes you think there gonna give the win to some upstart?

  • I like this guy compared to the other reviewers, props to truthslayer

  • This year's 'Mania was actually pretty good. The card was MUCH BETTER than Wrestlemania 23. Entrance of the Night was John Cena's marching band/football jersey entrance. Match of the Night was Flair vs. HBK, with Money in the Bank a close second. Shock of the Night was Orton's retain of the WWE Championship, with Matt Hardy's return a close second. Worst Match of the Night was BunnyMania. Overall an almost five-star card!

  • I think the danzig song was a better theme..........it was more fitting...........

  • Enjoyed the 1st half, but thought it went a bit shit after the Flair/HBK match, but nice to see it outdoors, really made a difference for me, amazing arena.

  • screw off man if you dont watch wrestlin y are u here in the 1st place? ur really missin out

  • i was htere man best wm since 98

  • and you're another ignorant moron. congrats jackass, back under the rock.

  • hey go screw your mom nigger. stfu son and  get a life . smart ass bitch

  • HBK always shows up at Wrestlemania.

    HBK Vs The McMahons.

    HBK Vs Cena.

    HBK Vs Flair.

    These last 3 matches have been on the top of my Mania Cards.

  • what about HBK vs angle? Hell, ever since HBK returned his mania matches have been incredible.

  • WM was awesome, even if there were some bad matches. My main problem with the show right now is that Coach is the worst commentator in the game now. He actually takes away from the matches, miss calls moves, has an annoying voice. The Main Event was awesome but if they had someone else with Cole it would really have come off a lot better.

    Flair is the man still, and it was the perfect way to go out for someone who gave us fans so much, and I can remember watching him since the mid 80's.

  • lol who is thus guy? he acts like a 10 yr old

  • no offence to ANYONE but ppl sayin "yea mania as a very very good ppv" or was a great ppv". Nah.

    Mania is ment to be a breathe taking event, Mania to me is a ppv of the year that you should be talkin abot for mouths on end and i think it has lost that touch

  • WELL EVERYONES ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION BUT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO state mine and your crazy if this mania was breath takeing,,the hbk flair match alone was the trip threat was the shocker and everything that looked bad was better then what everyone expected it to be so how does this mania not suit WM..wm24 imo the best of the 20's so far

  • The HBK & Flair match i think should be match of the year and i think it will be but i agree that everyone was a right to state their mind and that was mine. I'll admit i dont watch WWE am more TNA japan wrestling fan now but i say WWE did really well with this mania and the best of the 20's yea but they r no were near the manias of the 90's

  • indeed.WM 24 was a very,very,very good PPV

  • no thereisn't something wrong with us.

    we're just not retarded and actually like wrestling.

    it's for ten year old kids.

    grow up please.

  • lol? is that guy the drunk scientist?

  • 4 and 3/4 stars?ric flair hbk not good 2 best spots both moonsaults to the outside by HBK, ric flair had no spots and the 2 spots were the same thing by the same guy. the match started out as ric flair impersonation night. chops, wow what technique that must take. yes flair came off the top, he did that on raw too, there was no build up to it like there was a few years ago against carlito, so instead of flair FINALLY doing it, we had an old man belly flopping a slightly younger man. not gd match

  • this wrestlemania was really good compared to the last 3 years and i think this years MITB match was the best one so far and john morrison is awesome he reminds me of classic HBK with the cocky attitude and he also reminds me of aj styles because he can pull off some awesome moves that not alot of

    wrestlers can do.

  • But AJ is more gifted than John Morrison but nice blend between Michaels and AJ but John Morrison mic skills are kind of well not great.

  • thegoldenhero - Neither is A.J's mic skills. Can't deny that :D.

  • he is one the funniest on the mic

  • You say "I'm going to be completely honest" a lot. ;)

  • Sorry for the double-post but this requires its own post...

    The Flair Vs. HBK match was one of the greatest and most emotional matches that I have ever seen as well. Michaels hard fall to the announcers table really got me, I so thought that he wouldnt be able to continue. It was amazing that he worked through and was able to let Flair have what he wanted. I loved that after that happened Flair had to help HBK through it as well...

    INTENSE AND FULL OF EMOTION, what wrestling SHOULD be about!

  • My 2nd Favourite Wrestlemania so far actually, RAW following it was pretty good too...

    I really liked the opener actually Truthslayer, thought that both guys wanted to see blood. I like that Kane has a Title but wish it was the outcome of an actual match.

    So what's changed with WWE? It seems like it's an entirely new product which is nice to see. Everything from the booking of each match to the quality just seems to me to be on the up and up.

  • Get busy living or get busy dying.

  • dang it when i do order it, it sucks. when i dont order it, its great. what luck.

  • The Flair HBK match was such a back and forth battle that you just had to mark through out the whole thing. The middle was amazing and whats when you really knew this was a great match, implementactions or not. And yes, I cried when they showed the "I love you" part. Part of me knew it was over while the 10 year old boy inside me knew he would kick out. Its going to be the picture of the year in wrestling.

  • 45 fans were injured after the undertaker won and the pyro had a big mishap. that sucks big time.

  • 1dragon1fire - So THAT's where the incident happened. Someone told me about that.

  • I thought that this MITB was better then the last two, but the first is my personal favorite

  • I agree with you Tslay surprisingly this ppv was impressive i enjoyed every match except Batista vs Umaga all the rest were amazing even the bunny mania match it was definitely worth my money to see this. and whoever missed it well you missed history being made lol

  • you guys suck. Always overrating things. Im never reading the ratings before i watch a show.

  • flair started crying before they got the superkick

  • You started crying in the flair/hbk match hahaha, it was a good match but not that good.

  • you see triple h do the crossface? u think tht was his little tribute to beniot?

  • The reason Chavo got squashed was because he was backstage @ TNA after Rorrie the highlander got caught.

  • Good review Slayer.

    I give the Flair vs Michaels match 5 stars. It was just amazing. It had really good wrestling, the crowd was totally into it and the emotion was just through the roof. I also have to admit i lost it during this match. I broke down during the final moments of the match aswell, especially when seeing ric exiting the stadium.

  • Wrestlemania 24 was a great show, I would of gave it 10/10 but 3 things knocked a point of it. If Snoop Dogg, Kim Kardashian and Raven Symone wasn't involved I would of gave it 10. Why was Kim the hostess? Should of been Mean Gene Oakland.

  • several things, kane vs. chavo, it worked. the fans loved it. second, the randy orton, john cena, and HHH match made no sense. it was no d.q. out of no where? they were all going for their finishers out of no where. it was confusing. besides that a good review.

  • I was finally able to see Flair/HBK, and I have to say that the end had me on the verge of tears. wow.

    Anyway, if you take that match off the card, would you still feel the card delivered?

    This is open to whomever.

  • I totally agree with you about this being better than last years WM... AND I WAS AT LAST YEARS WM IN THE 10th ROW!!!!

  • Yo, T-Slay, I just read that they're gonna have another draft in the coming weeks. Whats the whole point of a draft when:

    a)All of the superstars are appearing in every show

    b)This draft thing is just to keep filling up the RAW roster, and keep giving the SmackDown!/ECW roster crap Treatment.

    Shouldn't they just find some way to end this roster thing already?

  • good review i agree wit your rating and def agree wit u on batista....he def wasn't in wrestlemania mode but umaga def was..flair vs hbk was def the best best ive ever seen...the ending of that match was classic

  • Batista only brings his A-game when facing someone w/ more experience (Taker). Umaga tries carrying Batista, but that didn't take that well. I'll give Umaga his due. He was a bit faster and did seem like he was ready for a "PPV" quality match. I notice some people in the front cheering for every offense Umaga did to Batista.

  • So did I. I knew Umaga could bring it on big PPVs like WrestleMania. Sadly, Batista didn't which killed this match for me.

    Still, it was funny seeing Batista BOTCH his own finisher. Most ridiculous Batista Bomb, EVER!!!!!!

  • lightning116, that "Botchtista" bomb could be due to Umaga's weight, but it still didn't look good. LOL!

  • That, or he was too damn lazy to hold him up in the air. I'll go with too damn lazy for the win XD.

  • Could be either way, lightning116. LOL!

  • but ya. flair hbk was great. i think you're over rating cena hhh orton big time though.

    good wm.

    8/10 imo

  • i thought he under rated it???

  • money in the bank 4 stars? i stopped watching

  • FIANNLY! The biased wwe haters have come back to wwe's SIDE! Only for Now :(

  • Nice review. I disagree on Batista/Umaga. I saw it the other way around.  Umaga seemed to halfass everything and then he dead weighted Batista at the end. Still a decent match though. Overall an awesome pay per view. NOT ONE BAD MATCH!

  • Great review, i agreee with you all the way. the Michaels/Flair match, just took you back, and made you remeber why it is you watch wrestling, and finally somebody who realizes that wrestlemania is about the E in the WWE, the entertainment, not the wrestling, but hey great vid, and great ppv

  • kanes match against chavo was just as long as his last world title reign lol

  • lol burn.

  • escuse me

  • escuse me
