Wrestlemania XXIV was a great show which had great matches, good memories, good story lines and hype. I would definitely say that this Wrestlemania was better than last years {Although last years was a great Wrestlemania as well}.
FIRST MATCH- JBL VS. FINLAY W/ HORNSWOGGLE IN A BELFAST BRAWL MATCH An okay way to start Wrestlemania with this Belfast Brawl match which has had a great storyline behind it. It was pretty brutal with lots of weapons used such as kendo sticks, tables, trashcans etc. Good match, JBL wins after hitting Finlay with the Clothesline From Hell. 6/10
SECOND MATCH- MR. KENNEDY VS. JOHN MORRISON VS. CHRIS JERICHO VS. CM PUNK VS. CARLITO VS. SHELTON BENJAMIN VS. MVP IN A MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH This was by far the best MITB that I have seen, although one problem is if it could have gone maybe a extra 5-10 minutes longer. Highlights are definitely Morrison doing a moonsault on the outside holding a ladder at the same time. Also Matt Hardy made an unexpected return & nailed a Twist Of Fate on MVP from a ladder. CM Punk grabs the briefcase & wins the MITB Ladder match. 6/10
THIRD MATCH- BATISTA VS. UMAGA IN A RAW VS. SMACKDOWN SUPERIORITY MATCH Started off slow, but picked up pace later on. Could of been a good match but it was kept pretty short as Batista beat Umaga with the best Batista Bomb I have ever seen {Even though I hate Batista}. 5/10
FOURTH MATCH- MARIA & ASHLEY VS. BETH PHOENIX & MELINA IN A TAG TEAM LUMBERJACK MATCH SPECIAL ENFORCER: SNOOP DOGG I had low expectations for this match, as Diva matches at Wrestlemania seem to be very boring. But I slightly enjoyed this match, because off new wrestling moves shown by the Divas throughout the match. Santino distracts Maria, enough time for Beth Phoenix to nail her Brainbuster move for the win. After the match, Snoop Dogg knocks down Santino & surprisingly locks lips with Maria. 5/10
FIFTH MATCH- RIC FLAIR VS. SHAWN MICHAELS IN A CAREER THREATENING MATCH IF RIC FLAIR LOSES, HE WILL HAVE TO RETIRE FROM WRESTLING Good enjoyable match that had that Wrestlemania feel to it. Great submission wrestling holds were used through this match, as Ric Flair despite his age sure can wrestle. Michaels hesitates, then tells Flair "I love you" before nailng Sweet Chin Music on Flair for the victory, as Flair's prestigious career is sadly over. An emotional match it was as we should expect, as Flair was very tearful after his match. 6/10
SIXTH MATCH- CHAVO GUERRERO {CHAMPION} VS. KANE FOR THE ECW CHAMPIONSHIP Kane won the 24 Battle Royal earlier to earn a title shot. Very short match with Kane nailing a Chokeslam on Chavo for the easy victory. May be short, but it was priceless as Kane has finally won after all the benefits he has done for the WWE such as competing in lame story lines. 5/10
SEVENTH MATCH- RANDY ORTON {CHAMPION} VS. TRIPLE H VS. JOHN CENA IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP I was very surprised to see this match placed too early on the card, as I honestly thought it was going to be the mainevent. I was a bit disappointed as to how short this match took, should of been longer. Randy Orton covers Cena after a HHH Pedigree for the win to retain his WWE Title. I honestly did not think that Orton was going to retain, good job WWE. 5/10
EIGHT MATCH- FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER VS. BIG SHOW IN A NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH I enjoyed this match very much, as Floyd Mayweather is just not worth $20 Million. I liked how Big Show was beating Floyd up, until the end of the match, where Mayweather would knock Big Show out with a brass knuckle for Big Show to be knocked out for the 10 count. 6/10
NINTH MATCH- EDGE {CHAMPION} VS. UNDERTAKER FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP This was by far the best match on the card. You can feel the intensity, the rivalry and the hype behind this match. Lots of nearfalls and counters made this match just plain enjoyable and pure entertainment. Edge even breaks out of Undertaker's tombstone finisher during the match, Undertaker catches Edge in his new submission to get the tap out victory, keep his undefeated streak alive and winning the World Heavyweight Championship for the 6th time. Kudos to both men as this is what you call a Wrestlemania main event. 7/10
This was a very enjoyable Wrestlemania, even better than last year's. WWE put a very good effort on this event, that made it worth watching. Some matches were short, but that was about it. Still this is one Wrestlemania to talk about. Good job WWE.
Overall I'll give it 8/10 & a B+
