This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There was a time when WrestleMania would have themes. This one was "Goes Hollywood" since it took place at LA's Staples Centre. Many promos were used with superstars and divas in the place of huge blockbuster films. Eugene played Forrest Gump, Undertaker was Dirty Harry, John Cena and JBL reenacted A Few Good Men, among others. So this ranks as perhaps the best Mania in terms of promos and marketing. Aside from this, WM 21 saw the start of a new era. Although still part of the "Ruthless Aggression Era" this was the start of a slew of new superstars getting pushes.The first match is only seen as a bonus feature: a RAW and Smackdown! battle royal. Booker T won. It is cool seeing all the old stars after all these years (despite being regular working wrestlers at the time) 8/10The first regular match saw the WWE Tag Team Champions Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio going at it. This was the start of Eddie's last great feud and one of the best of the year. Rey won. 8.5/10Next was the first ever Money in the Bank ladder match. Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Christian, Shelton Benjamin, Edge, and Kane set the new standard for a multi-person ladder match. The match is edited out so that Chris Benoit (who came close to winning a few times) is never seen well or heard. Either way, this was a phenomenal match. 10/10Next off was a segment featuring Muhammed Hassan and Daivari ruining Eugene's moment. Hulk Hogan came out to save the day in a random but fun segment. 8/10Legend vs Legend Killer was next: Undertaker vs Randy Orton. This feud and the Rey & Eddie feud were Smackdown!'s best of the year. Match of the night? Maybe, but awesome regardless. 8.5/10The Woman's Title match is worth seeing because it features Christy Hemme. Champion Trish Stratus won in a terrible match. 3/10Kurt Angle facing Shawn Michaels received critical acclaim. They are the best at their respective wrestling styles, but this match honestly bored the heck out of me. Here's what happens: headlock; both stars out cold; ankle lock; both stars out cold; headlock; both stars out cold; Angle makes Michaels tap. Highly overrated. 5/10Next off was Piper's Pit with his special guest being Stone Cold. Carlito came out and both men beat him up. Not bad, still fun. 7.5/10Big Show faced sumo wrestler Akebono in a sumo match. I know it was a gimmick match, but what were they thinking!?!? The real sumo guy won, but who cares? 2/10JBL defends the WWE Title against upstart John Cena. Their feud was awesome. This was the start of Cena's massive push. Don't worry, Cena had a badass gimmick here. The match was underwhelming like everybody says, but still enjoyable. 7/10I always loved the feud with Triple H and Batista. In 2003, champion Triple H recruited two new guys (Batista, Randy Orton) and the legendary Ric Flair to be his posse in a team called Evolution. The idea was to help Triple H maintain his status. When Randy Orton became the youngest World Champion in history by defeating Chris Benoit a year earlier, a jealous Triple H kicked him out of the group. Batista won the Royal Rumble earlier that year, and Triple H continued to push him around. Batista also left the group and their match series started here. Batista beat Triple H to a bloody pulp, but still saw a fun back-and-forth bout. 9/10So most good made up for the bad. The way the event was handled was all awesome.

In terms of a wrestlemania this scores an average 6 out of 10 even though Cena won title(I'm A HUGE CENA FAN)In terms of a pay per view in the year 2005 it was probably one of the stronger ones. heres a rundown MATCH ORDER MITE BE A BIT WRONG1. Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero6.5/10 Would have been a great match if not for mysterio and his mask he spent the whole match fiddling with his mask, but still an acceptable beginning.2. Edge Vs Benjamin Vs Jericho Vs Benoit Vs Kane Vs Christian MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH7.5/10 I have to admit i thought this match was over rated still very good but not the best ladder match you'll see...Benjamin was amazing in the match but it was far too short for my liking.3. Undertaker Vs Randy Orton7/10 Good match considering taker is finished, I'm a huge Orton fan so my analysis may be biased. Good match Bob Ortons involvement made the match better as false endings were created, Orton hits one of the best rko's your ever gonna see.4. Christy Vs Trish(WOMENS CHAMP) womens title match3/10 Both looked great, but poor match in terms of excitement and quality , christy isn't a wrestler so I'm not gonna slate her off like others choose to do ,she makes an effort which is good enough but she shouldn't be facing a legend like TRISH.5. Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels9/10 This match made wrestlemania 21 ..an amazing match between the two best athletes in wwe today, angle is so good some fans even turn on hbk and back angle, which is saying something because as far as I'm concerned the Hollywood crowd were awful , they really couldn't be bothered with anything didn't help the event. anyway back to match ,great match great moves, hbk's injury selling is great as usual , bit of a surprising ending which made it even better TOP TOP MATCH!!!6. Pipers Pit AUSTIN GUEST3/10 pointless, nothing meaningful said..carlito comes out ,,,crowd show there poorness again by giving Austin a dry ovation when he deserves one of high quality.7. Akebono Vs Big Show SUMO MATCH2/10 awful spent half the time wiping themselves with powder, sumo match lasted bout 4 seconds max, both r looking awfully disgusting in nappy type clothing.8. JOHN CENA Vs J.B.L (WWE CHAMP) WWe championship match8/10 For me ...for everyone else probably 4/10 Great match for me because cena won, but really it was awful, jbl virtually punched and kicked cena the whole way thru ,crowd didn't help by being lazy and just sitting in silence, but it was slightly understandable cus the match was so poor, anti climatic finish to not just the match but the whole rivalry. Iv seen a lot better.9. Batista Vs Triple H (WORLD CHAMP) world championship match5.5/10 I hate Batista, so seeing him win annoyed me, ridiculous match because Triple H beat the crap out of Batista for whole match but by the end with Hunter busted open made it seem like Batista had given him a real rollicking, when really triple h carried Batista the whole way through, average match seen a lot better but it was better then the JBL Cena match.

Well well well. Its that time of year again! WRESTLEMANIA!!! I for one thought it was great. Here is my review.Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero. Great opener. Eddie really surprised me in this one by (in my opinion) out preforming Rey. Lots of risky moves and dives made this one quite memorable. Could have been longer though. 8/10.Money in the bank ladder match. One thing I have to say is that its about friggin time we had a multiple man ladder match. This match was so good that I dare say that you could compare it to the ladder matches of 2000 and 2001. Simply perfect. 10/10.Taker vs Orton. Not as bad as you'd think. Very fast paced (yes you hear that right) and lots of cool looking stuff (Takers freaky looking old school and of course the chokeslam counter). I was surprised to see Orton lose. I thought the streak would end. 8/10.Trish vs Christy. Get a pillow for this one folks. Its another womens championship match. Christy sucked big time in this match and the ending had no flair what so ever (are we really supposed to believe the chick kick is that devastating?). 2/10.Angle vs HBK. Mr.Michales all is forgiven. Being from Calgary, I used to hate this guy. I slowly have grown to accept him and after this match I do 100%. HBK and Angle were at the top of their game here. During the begging of this match you will probably think, what the crap, this is going nowhere. But at the end, it was main-event quality. Match of the night definitely. 10/10 Sumo match. Seriously guys, did you really think this would be worth watching? Believe me, don't get curious like I did and actually watch this. They take like 10 mins to prepare for the match and it ends after 1 min. 1/10.Cena vs JBL. OK guys, heres my theory. Take the rock vs hogan match from wrestlemania X8 and turn the volume on mute. Pretty boring eh? Exactly. The match could be Flair vs Steamboat and it could be boring if the crowd is dead. Same case here. Almost Wrestlemania quality, but still good. The one thing that surprised me was JBL carrying Cena for almost the entire match. 7/10 HHH vs Batista. Oh, what the crap! The crowd was dead for Cena vs JBL and they were live for this! Come on! This was not a bad match, but it definitely was not wrestlemania main-event quality. The last little bit was good but HHH was really slow through the entire match. This was okay but not great. 6/10.The Hogan segment and pipers pit were great segments and both come to a 10 when it comes to segments.All in all this ppv rules. It definitely made up for the No Way Out disaster. Good ppv. 8/10.

Now readers of Raw Magazine will now I copied that. It was truly are historic PPV and one of my favourite Mania's. It is probably the best one since WM17. Here is a breakdown Match by Match. Match One: Tag Champ vs. Tag Champ: Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio: Both men made really good entrances. The match was lighting quick and if you blinked you would have missed something. Great opener. 9/10 Winner: Rey Mysterio after a 619 Match Two: Money In The Bank Ladder Match: This and the Michaels/Angle match were probably the best of the night. Amazing moves and as guest the young star Shelton Benjamin stole the show. Chris Benoit was so close to getting the case but then Edge hit his arm with a chair and he went to the floor clutching his shoulder/arm. Edge then claimed the Ladder and won. Winner: Edge, 10/10 Match Three: Legend vs. Legend Killer: Undertaker vs. Randy Orton: This was good for a UT match. I am a big UT fan but his moves are not original and its the same rountine every match. When WWE made this match one gimmick was going to be ruined. If UT won Randy Orton's legend killer gimmick would be ruined but if UT lost it would be the end of his WM streak. Taker won after Randy attempted a Tombstone but Taker reversed it and delivered his own Tombstone. Winner: Undertaker after a tombstone. 8.5/10 Wrestlemania Moment: Eugene was talking to the crowd when Muhammad Hassain and Khorsow Divari came out. Eugene got locked in the Camal Clutch but out comes...... Mr. Wrestlemania Hollywood Hulk Hogan. He beats up Hassain and Divari and does his pose just for old times sake. Match Four: Womens Championship Match: Champion Trish Stratus vs. Challenger Christy Hemme: Hemme did well for her first match. It's a shame however there are more talented wrestlers such as Jazz and Victoria who are now at mid-card status just because of Christy. Someone ponited out Trish is the Triple H of the Women's division. That is right. Winner: Trish by a Chick Kick, 7/10 Match Five: HBK vs. Kurt Angle: Wow! This was probably the greatest pure wrestling match of all time. No weapons just pure wrestling. Great performances from both men. Kurt Angle wins by an Ankle Lock. Winner: Kurt Angle Pipers Pit with Stone Cold: Piper welcomes Stone Cold with a slap. Austin returns and the the insults began. Next minute Carlito comes out with his apple talking about who's cool and who's not. Then Piper spits in Carlito's face and Carltio gets Stunnered and then Piper does. Match Six: Sumo Match: Akebono vs. The Big Show: Two fat men wearing thongs. Not my cup of tea. Time to go and get a coffee. Winner: Akebono, 2/10 Match Seven: WWE Championship: John Cena vs. JBL Champion: Short match for a Title Match. Good though I like some matches short and sweet. Well done to both men and JBL gave a good performance knowing that he was going to loose. Winner and new WWE Champion: John Cena. 8/10 Match Eight: Raw Championship Match: Triple H Champion vs. Batista Champion: What a match! Great performances by both men. Lots of bloodshed and a devasting Batista bomb for the win. Winner and new champion: Batista Great event I could watch it over and over again. A+
