Wrestlemania 22 Review

From Chicago

JR is back, and thats a good thing when the first match is:

Carlito & Chris Masters vs Big Show & Kane (*1/2)
Noone was into this match in the crowd, and neither was I. They did their stuff and Big Show and Kane won it.

HBK interview, noone cares what he says, everyone want a HBK/Bret confrontation.

Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair vs RVD vs Matt Hardy vs Fit Finlay vs Lashley [Money In the bank ladder match] (***1/2)
Good match, with all the spots you could expect and some more, RVD and Benjamin does most of the high spots here, and RVD wins it.

Hall of Fame class of 2006 is announced, but no Bret Hart as he probably ran of whining like always.

JBL vs Chris Benoit [US Title match] (**)
This match had all the potential in the world, but did not deliver at all, JBL wins by holding the rope.

Edge vs Cactus Jack (***3/4)
Cactus came in wrapped in barbed wire and it whent from there, great action with everything you expect, barbe wire bat, thumbtacks and a spear to a flaming table to win the match for Edge. even Lita was busted open here, and it was sweet.

Backstage segment with Booker T and Sharmell running into Burchill, Million Dollar Man and Eugene, Snitzky licking Mae Youngs toes!!!!!! and OphraDust (Goldust) giving Booker advice against the Boogeyman. Man this is THE BACKSTAGE SEGMENT!!!!

Sharmell & Booker T vs Boogeyman (**1/2)
Not the best match, but entertainment to the max, boogeyman even kisses Sharmell with a mouth full of worms. Entertainmentvalue gives it an extra * on the rating.

Mickie James vs Trish Stratus [Womens Title] (***1/2)
The match with the best buildup by far, and it deliverd the goods, Mickie James works the leg of trish the whole match, the crowd is 100% behind Mickie here. Sadly they fuck up the finish, as Mickie wins the belt.

Backstage prayer with the McMahon family. Again good stuff.

Undertaker vs Mark Henry [Casket match] (*)
Just as crappy as expected, Undertaker doing his div over the top rope saves it from DUD. Undertaker wins ofcourse, and hopefully mark henry is gone for good now.

Shawn Michaels vs Vincent Kennedy McMahon [No Holds Barred] (***)
Good match, even tho its mostly HBK beating on Vince, HBK looks to turn to his DX self at the end with a BIG ladder spot and then he finaly can hit the super kick.

Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton [World Heavyweight Title match] (***1/2)
Good match but WTF it was only 9 minutes long, kinda dissapointing.......Rey wins it after a fast paced match.

Torrie Wilson vs Candice Michell [Playboy Pillow Fight] (DUD)
This is when you find something to eat or go take a piss or something thats more interesting....

Triple H vs John Cena [WWE Title Match] (**1/2)
Triple H came in to a new cool King of Kings entrance, then Cena came out to the lame ass Gangster entrance and got a well deserved rain of BOOOOs. Loud FUCK YOU CENA chants in the start as the crowd totaly hates Cena. Ok match, with Cena winning and the crowd hating it as HHH taps to the STF-U......

Overall: B
So what do we have now? A 170lbs HEAVYweight champion.... A WWE Champion thats suposed to be a fan favourite but everyone hates him.... Atleast RVD as money in the bank holder is good, and the Foley vs Edge match was good, but this isnt a wrestlemania im gonna be talking about for long......
