Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood!

I believe this to be one of the most underrated Wrestlemania's... and for the most part, it was highly exciting and entertaining. Only negative I would say is the crowd is strangely dead at times. I'll be giving a brief summary of each match and a total rating out of 5 for performance and quality of wrestling.

Opener-Match 1: Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero
Great start to WM 21, a lot of high flying moves and amazing athleticism to wow the crowd. 4/5

Match 2: Money in the Bank: Edge vs. Benoit vs. Christian vs. Jericho vs. Kane vs. Shelton:
The first ever MOTB ladder match, and what a match this was. Shelton Benjamin gave one of his best performances in this match, with brilliant spots being used. Each man gave his all and the ending was pretty sweet too. 4.5/5

Match 3: Undertaker Vs Randy Orton
Good use of drama and wrestling from both men. A lot of hype was built up for this match and the match performances from both men justified that. 4/5

Match 4: Women's Championship-Trish Stratus (c) Vs Christy Hemme:
Now I hate to give this a low rating personally because Trish is a talented female wrestler who knows how to get the job done in the ring, but sadly, the same can't be said for Hemme. 2.5/5

Match 5: Shawn Michaels Vs Kurt Angle
Easily match of the night, must have been a contender for match of the year in the 2005 era as well. Both men fought to their very last breath, with high flying moves such as HBK's elbow and cross body onto the announcers table, and Angle's perfectly executed moonsault. Angle displayed his brilliant use of mat skills and technical abilities to ground HBK and showed great spots such as the Angle Slam from the top turnbuckle, Angle Slam into the corner, and more! In the end, the Ankle Lock proved too much for HBK but he was very resilient and took him a fair while to tap out. The crowd were pumped for this one! 5/5

Match 6: Sumo Match-Big Show vs. Akebono:
Well, it's not a Wrestling match so can't really give this one a rating. Although, it does add a bit of comedy into the show and doesn't last too long. It's nice to see a bit of variety here and there at Wrestlemania's. (No Rating)

Match 7:
WWE Championship-JBL (c) vs John Cena:
Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be... but I would say average at best. These two didn't seem to have great chemistry together in the squared circle, and the match seemed to end awfully fast. Repetitive moves from Bradshaw, only spot worth noting is a superplex. You probably know the outcome for this one. I have to say that Cena had a lot of respect back then when he wasn't his superman character, he celebrated by jumping in the crowd at the end which is great to see. You can tell it meant a lot to him winning the title.
3/5

World Heavyweight Championship-Triple H (c) vs Batista:
I actually rather enjoyed this match. Pretty much a slugfest from both men, but nice spots when they went outside the ring and HHH getting busted open by the ring post. Good use of drama as well with Ric Flair being at ringside assaulting Batista, and then getting a spinebuster for his troubles later on in the match. The crowd were more pumped up for this one than the WWE Championship bout and rightfully so, it was a much better match. Triple H and Batista seemed to have good chemistry in the ring as opposed to JBL & Cena.
4/5

Along with the main match card, you have some entertaining extra segments in between matches such as the return of Rowdy Roddy Piper in Pipers Pit with none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin! Plus, the return of the Hulkster who receives a tremendous ovation, and the class of 2005 Hall of Fame ceremony. Wrestlemania 21 is highly recommended, don't miss out!

Wrestlemania 21 was amzing and heres why....

Eddie gurreo and rey mysterio kicked off the show in a great match with some great high flying moves and it would be rey who would walk out with the victory. 7.50/10

The first ever money in the bank ladder match was next it featured chris jericho, chris benoit, chrsitian, sheltton benjiman, edge and kane.
This match was a great way to debut money in the bank every body did really well in the match loads of high flying and painful moves were in this match but it would be edge who would pik up the victory and win money in the bank. 9/10

Eugene got attacked by muhammad hassan and dalvari and hulk hogan would come out and save eugene.
This was an amzing wrestlemani moment. 10/10

Undertaker took on randy orton next in what i think is ortons best mania match yet so much action and greta counters were in this match one of the counters was a reversal to the chokeslam into the rko!
As you can tell the undertaker would of course win this match. 8/10

Trish stratus put her t womans itle on the line against chrisstie hemme in a decent match good for a diva match though and trish retained her title. 5/10

Shawn michaels took on kurt angle enxt in the best match of the night.
This match was a true classic loads of action and it was just incredible, shawn would have to tap out though to the angle lock. 10/10

Pipers pit was next which featured roddy piper, stone cold stev austin and carlito.
This was very funny and a great segment. 10/10

Big show took on akebono in a sumo match this match was bad and silly and suprisngly big show lost. NR

Jbl put his wwe title against john cena in the worst wwe title match at wrestlemania.
It was actualy ok until it ended it needed much more time and cena would win his first world title. 4/10

Batistia fought triple h for the world heavyweight title next in a good main event.
This match was fun and great to watch and it was great to se batistia win his first world title. 7.75/10

Overall wrestlemaia 21 was awesome only two bad matches but still this was great. 9/10

WrestleMania 21 was a truly great WrestleMania, from the Hogan/ Piper hall of fame to the supeb card that made this WrestleMania remembered for more then one match. The card was full of big hitters fighting each other for the first time. Alot of the riveries would flow though the year making 2005 a great year in WWE. The best thing about WrestleMania 21 for me was the
Hollywood film parody trailers which are all included within the dvd. Watching HHH as Mel Gibson still makes me crack up.
