Reviews
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
adonis98-743-186503 Still stinging from his narrow defeat a year earlier, The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels has goaded Undertaker into a rematch by putting his career on the line. Something's gotta give- The legendary streak or the 25 year career of one of the all-time greats! What was the best match from Mania 25 gets to be repeated once more and it's even better with Undertaker showing respect to HBK but also Batista goes against John Cena for the WWE Championship but the well done match of that night was Undertaker and Shawn Michaels both men gave it all and the show wasn't disappointing at all and sometimes it kinda makes me miss those old good days.
Owen Ogletree This show, I feel, is a little better than the previous year. HBK and Undertaker had another classic match, and the world title matches were much better than the previous year's.Unified WWE Tag Team Championship Match: ShowMiz vs. John Morrison and R-Truth - This was a decent match, but at merely three minutes, it really didn't have enough time to make much impact. ShowMiz retains the titles with Big Show's Knockout Punch. RATING: **1/4Triple Threat Match: Randy Orton s. Ted Dibiase vs. Cody Rhodes - This was a fun match that the crowd was really into. It really did a good job of getting Randy Orton over as a face. He wins the match with an RKO to Dibiase. RATING: ***Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Jack Swagger vs. Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Evan Bourne vs. Matt Hardy vs. Kane vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. MVP - With 10 people, this match is of course, very spotty, but still lots of fun. Everyone got to shine as usual, even the newer talent such as McInyre, Ziggler, and Bourne. Jack Swagger wins the briefcase. Dumb move. RATING: ***3/4Triple H vs. Sheamus - This was actually a pretty good "veteran vs. newcomer" match. The two put on a nice brawl, and it made Sheamus look strong even through defeat. Triple H wins with a Pedigree out of nowhere. RATING: ***1/4Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk - This was a very good match that definitely would have been a classic if it were maybe twice as long. Rey and Punk always have solid matches, and this is no exception. Rey Mysterio wins with the 619. RATNG: ***1/2No Holds Barred Match: Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon - I don't think I can rate this. This was more of an angle than a match, and it served its purpose. Bret Hart wins. RATING: N/AWorld Heavyweight Championship Match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Edge - This was a very well-wrestled match with some good psychology and storytelling. They did some good drama toward the end. Chris Jericho retains the Championship by cheating, but Edge spears him through the barricade afterwards. RATING: ***3/4WWE Championship Match: Batista (c) vs. John Cena - I thought this was a great match. It was a nice fast-paced powerhouse match, and they did some really good near-falls. Cena and Batista work surprisingly well together. John Cena wins the Championship with the STF. RATING: **** Streak vs. Career Match: The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels - Not as good as their previous match, but still another classic between the two. The emotion in this match is unreal, and it was nice they made this the main event. The Undertaker wins again with a 3rd Tombstone, ending Shawn Michaels' legendary career. THANK YOU HBK. RATING: ****3/4 With a match that fittingly caps off HBK's career and a number of other quality matches, this show is well worth checking out.RATING: B+
Kevan Thomas 1. Unified Tag Team Championship - The Miz & Big Show vs. John Morrison & R Truth This match had a lot of potential as it started out fast paced. It was starting to build momentum and ended out of nowhere. Way too short at just over three minutes, but it was a decent way to open the show. 4.5/102. Triple Threat Match - Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase The first half of the match was Legacy double teaming Orton. It started to get boring but things became interesting again when Rhodes and DiBiase attacked each other. Nice finish with a punt to the head of Rhodes. 6/103. Money In The Bank Ladder Match - Similar to the rest of the ladder matches, only in this one there were ten superstars. I prefer less wrestlers in these matches so there aren't as many bodies just laying on the mat outside the ring, but this one had enough nice spots to make up for it. Better than the first two matches, and I liked the finish even though Swagger couldn't get the briefcase for awhile. 7.5/104. Triple H vs. Sheamus First singles match of the night, and this one wasn't a disappointment. Sheamus actually looked like a main eventer here, with the help of Triple H of course. There were plenty of near falls which lead to a finish that happened out of no where. 7/105. CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio The straight edge society were involved in this match early. I was disappointed at how short of a match this was, around six minutes long. But, this was very fast paced with plenty of nice reversals from Punk to counter Rey's high flying. Nice finish as well but this should have been a bit longer. 7/106. No Holds Barred Match - Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon McMahon has had some pretty entertaining no dq matches at Wrestlemania in the past, but this just felt like a long promo. The Hart family surrounded the ring after being introduced by Vince, but turned on him and the rest of the match was a slow beat down. Not worth a watch. 2/107. World Heavyweight Championship - Chris Jericho vs. Edge I remember when the winner of the Royal Rumble got a main event title shot at Wrestlemania, but I guess they changed that somewhere along the line. This was a very good championship match. It was a little slow paced for awhile, but towards the end there were many near falls which lead to a screwy finish, but it worked. The post match beat down was also memorable. 7.5/108. 10 Diva Tag Team Match I skipped this one, I had a feeling this wouldn't be Wrestlemania worthy. N/A9. WWE Championship - Batista vs. John Cena This was another fun championship match. This match also had its slow moments but they all lead to some nice spots. The crowd was split and pretty hot towards the end of this one as well. I was disappointed Batista didn't get the win here, but both men worked hard to put on a good match. 7/1010. Career vs. Streak Match - Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker This years main event was a memorable one. This was a rematch of the last year's Wrestlemania classic, and it lived up to its expectations. The pacing was great in this one, and even though it didn't go a full half hour, these two worked hard for 23 minutes. There were some sick spots, one including the announce table. The finish was also very memorable. Great, great Wrestlemania main event and a way to end Shawn Michaels' career. 9.5/10Wrestlemania 26 was an excellent pay per view. There were 8 matches worth watching, with the only disappointment being the Bret/Vince match. The three main events were all great matches and worth the purchase of the DVD alone. 8/10
namashi_1 I am a unabashed WWE fan, since childhood I have been a fanatic. From Hogan, The Rock, HBK, Undertaker and Triple H have been my idols. WrestleMania is WWE's greatest event, so one expects the moon from this event. Unfortunlatey, I only got to see a mirage! Coming right away to the Highlights, 3 matches that stood-out were: Career vs Streak, The Legendary HBK vs The Unbeatable Phenom was just superb. Even though one won't get to his Mr.WrestleMania wrestler anymore, one thing is for sure: There was, there is, and there ever will be only one Shawn Michaels. He's a freaking LEGEND! Taker was also amazing in the match. Triple H defeating the Celtic warrior was a excellent match. The Money In The Bank was a match worth-watching. The winner, Jack Swagger, stole the show with a energetic performance.Minuses: Hart vs Mcmahon. Awful match! Hart and Mcmahon screwed us man! Cena was getting beaten up by Batista, every week be4 WM took place. Cena should've kicked his ass more than what he did. Y2J retaining the title against EDGE was a complete down. EDGE rules, he can't lose! Orton's win was so so predictable, one could just skip it! CM Punk was wasted.WrestleMania has lost it's sheen. But, I'll watch WWE till I live. So, let's forget the minuses of the show, and remember the pluses only!
