To me, this movie is perfection.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH - Mr Kennedy vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy vs Booker T vs Edge vs Randy Orton vs CM Punk. UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP - Chris Benoit vs MVP. Kane vs The Great Khali. BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES - Umaga (w/Vince McMahon) vs Bobby Lashley (w/Donald Trump). WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - Melina vs Ashley. THE ORGINALS (Rob Van Dam, Sabu, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer) vs THE NEW BREED (Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, Kevin Thorn and Matt Striker). WWE CHAMPIONSHIP - John Cena vs Shawn Michaels. WORLD HAEVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP - Batista vs The Undertaker. WWE Sunday NIGHT HEAT SPECIAL DARK MATCH - Ric Flair and Carlito vs Chavo Guerrero and Gregory Helms. Wrestlemania 23 was one hell of a Mania with Batista going tall to tall with the 2007 Royal Rumble winner Undertaker, Jeff Hardy going full extreme and also HBK v.s John Cena is what i would describe amazing in every way and truly classic especially that moment when Shawn Michaels jumped from the ropes upon Cena.
Overall, I think that this was an improvement from last year's Mania. 22 was awesome, this was just better. It had so much good and it still remains one of my favourites.The opening match was the epic Money in the Bank bout, where Mr. Kennedy defeated CM Punk, Randy Orton, Finlay, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, King Booker, and Edge. Of course Kennedy was not a worthy winner, so Edge beat him for it weeks later. It was long, but sweet. 8.5/10Kane and the Great Khali was a forgettable and bad match. Glad I haven't seen it since this ppv aired. 2.5/10Next up was Chris Benoit retaining his US title against MVP. It was Benoit's last Mania before his suicide later that year. Any match featuring Chris Benoit is a match I love. 8.5/10This was around the time that the World Heavyweight Championship's value was diminishing. I don't get why they placed it in the middle on this epic night. There was a great backstory with great wrestlers for a valuable prize. So the writers must've known the match would deliver. It did deliver! Match of the night and of the year. 10/10Now we come to RVD, Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, and Sabu--ECW Originals--take on Kevin Thorn, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker, and Elijah Burke--The New Breed. The Originals won in one of the best ECW moments since Vince brought it back. Vince didn't know what to do with ECW since it was not his creation, but this is an example of one of its high points. 8/10Next is the Battle of the Billionaires Hair match. This caught the biggest media attention since it involved Donald Trump. Of course Trump and Vince would not wrestle, so Trump got Bobby Lashley and Vince got Umaga to wrestle, and Stone Cold was guest referee. Awesome match! Lashley won and they actually showed Vince getting his head shaved! 10/10The second-last match saw Melina beating Ashley Massaro for the Women's Title. Not a very good match, but the lumberjills and the competitors are no longer around, so it is cool to see the old-timers back again. 7/10Now come to John Cena facing Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship. Not as good as last year's and about 10 minutes too long, but still great. 9/10Overall 8/10
This is yet another strong WrestleMania. It had a solid undercard and two great world title matches. There isn't too much to complain about.Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Mr. Kennedy vs. Randy Orton vs. Edge vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy vs. CM Punk vs. King Booker vs. Finlay - One of the better MITB matches, in my opinion. It is remembered for the big Jeff Hardy stunt, but there were plenty of other great spots, too. A great way to start the show. Mr. Kennedy wins the briefcase. RATING: ****Kane vs. The Great Khali - A typical boring big man match, all I can say. Khali wins. RATING: *1/2United States Championship Match: Chris Benoit (c) vs. MVP - I really liked this match. It was a nice technical contest with MVP holding his own against Benoit. It was also given a good amount of time. Chris Benoit retains with a flying Headbutt. RATING: ***3/4World Heavyweight Championship Match: Batista (c) vs. The Undertaker - This was an excellent world title match. Taker and Batista have great chemistry, and they put on a powerhouse of a match. This is the first of many great matches between the two. The Undertaker wins the Championship with a Tombstone. RATING: ****The ECW Originals vs. The New Breed - A throwaway to pass the time, nothing more. The Originals win with RVD's Frogsplash. RATING: **1/2 Hair vs. Hair Match: Bobby Lashley (Trump) vs. Umaga (McMahon) with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as Special Guest Referee - Like HBK/Vince the previous year, this was an entertainment spectacle, and I enjoyed it. Bobby Lashley wins, and Vince gets his head shaved. AWESOME! RATING: ***1/4WWE Championship Match: John Cena (c) vs. Shawn Michaels - This was a fantastic main event and the best match on the show. Cena proved he belonged in the ring with Michaels in an amazing contest with many near-falls and memorable moments. Not quite as good as their epic Raw encounter later that month, but pretty close. John Cena retains his Championship with the STF. RATING: ****1/4A great WrestleMania overall, and one of the most underrated. With a lot of great stuff and only one bad match, wrestling fans should love it.RATING: B+
