A Fantastic Wrestlemania!!!!!
JBL vs Finlay(Belfast Brawl) A great way to kick the show off!! Some nice damage was dished out on both sides. JBL fought more like he did in his APA days(and thats a good thing). Finlay took most of the punishment but he looked good doing it. THANKFULLY, Hornswaggle did not screw up the match. Both of these men are worthy of World Title gold IMO. 8/10
Money in the Bank Match(Morrison vs Benjamin vs CM Punk vs Carlito vs MVP vs Jericho vs Kennedy) This M.I.B was a lot better than last years. Though Jeff Hardy was not present, these men really tore the house down. All 7 wrestlers really put out, but Morrison and Benjamin were the true stars of this match. Morrison does a moonsault to the outside while holding a ladder and Benjamin was his usual superbly athletic self(he also took one of the ugliest falls ever seen at Wrestlemania). If WWE knows whats good for them they should focus a lot of attention on these 7 men who are undoubtedly the future of this business. 10/10
Batista vs Umaga(Inter-promotional match) This match was pretty solid. Not excellent, but it also was nowhere near terrible. It could have been a little longer, and a few weapons might have benefited the match more. Batista evidently strains his back power bombing the 300 pound Umaga. 7/10
Kane vs Chavo Guerrero(ECW Title) I can't say this match was bad because there was no match!!!!!!!!! Kane chokeslammed Guerrero and won!!It was probably cut short due to time. Guerrero and Kane deserve better though. --/10
Shawn Michaels vs Ric Flair(Retirement match) HBK was supposed to give Ric Flair the greatest match of his career, and in my opinion this was. Both men worked well together(which HBK can do with anybody) and they both received and dished out a lot of punishment. The first and last "Sweet Chin Music"'s were pretty ugly on the 59 year old Flair. HBK darn near tore himself in half when he missed the moonsault on the table and hits mainly floor when Flair was late to receive HBK from a diving moonsault from the turnbuckle to the outside. Great match!! 9.5/10
Beth Phoenix & Melina vs Ashley & Maria (BunnyMania Lumberjill Match) This was the only terrible match in this years Wrestlemania. A huge waste of time. This is the match that should have been cut short. Nothing great or superb happened. Just the exploitation of the Divas which I'm really getting sick of. Oh, and I forgot, Snoop Dogg was pointlessly in this match. 5/10
John Cena vs HHH vs Randy Orton(WWE Title match) Now I honestly must say, I had my doubts about this one at first. But these 3 men worked pretty well together!!! Cena and Orton actually out shined the veteran HHH who still performed pretty well. The match could have been a tad bit longer but it definitely gets you on your feet. Great entrance by Cena(who I must say is actually getting a little better). 9/10
Floyd Mayweather vs Big Show/ I thought this was going to be yet another pointless celebrity showing. But this was a very good match and Mayweather gets my respect for taking a lot of punishment. The crowd was really into this match!! Great work by both men. 8/10
Undertaker vs Edge(World Title) Both of these men deserved this long overdue slot in the main event. It started out a bit slow with brawling going back and forth, but then it started to pick up towards the middle. The whole title vs streak idea, added with the main event suspense really had me on the edge of my seat!!! Taker gains the title once more and is now 16-0!!! 9/10
