25 Years of Raw

On January 22, WWE will present what could be its biggest show of the year. No, I’m not talking about Wrestlemania. I’m talking about Monday Night Raw. The flagship show of WWE will be celebrating its 25^th anniversary and will air from two separate venues in New York. According to the WWE website, wrestlers from both the Raw roster and the SmackDown roster will be at the Barclays Center while the Manhattan Center, the site of the very first episode of Monday Night Raw, will feature competing wrestlers as well as WWE legends.

The list of WWE legends scheduled to be at Raw continues to grow and is a very impressive list. Guys like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Stone Cold Steve Austin are just a few of the legends that will appear on the show. At the time that this post was written, there is still a week and a half until the 25^th anniversary of Raw so I would expect more legends to be added to the list.

This is the most excited I have been for an episode of Raw in quite some time. WWE usually does an excellent job with presenting landmark episodes and the 25^th anniversary of Raw is shaping up to be one of the very best episodes produced. The two venue location is a pretty cool idea for those who will be watching on television although I’m sure those who are in attendance at both the Barclays Center and the Manhattan Center might feel differently about it. The very impressive list of legends scheduled to be there will no doubt give me flashbacks of my childhood during the Attitude Era. Add to that the rosters of both Raw and SmackDown, and you have the makings of a wrestling event that could give Wrestlemania a run for its money. Hopefully the show can live up to the hype and celebrate the legacy of Monday night’s greatest wrestling television program.

The Grand Slam Champ

SummerSlam 2017 saw numerous titles change hands. One of those titles was the Raw Tag Team Championship. The team of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro and Sheamus and were crowned as the new kings of the tag team division. For Seth Rollins, the win marked the second time he was part of a tag team championship team as he previously held the belts with Roman Reigns. For Ambrose, this is the first time he has held tag team championship gold, and it also granted him access to a very exclusive club in WWE: the grand slam champion’s club.

In WWE, a grand slam champion is a wrestler who has won the tag team championships, two secondary titles, and the world title. It is a very short list that is filled with some of the most elite wrestlers in history. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, and Chris Jericho are some of the wrestlers who have accomplished the feat. While these wrestlers are current and future hall of famers, not every legend and big name wrestler can call themselves a grand slam champ. As of the writing of this post, there have only been 16 grand slam champions, and guys The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Randy Orton, and John Cena are not on that list of grand slam champions.

As I said earlier, a grand slam champion must win two secondary titles, the tag team titles and the world title. Dean Ambrose has won the United States Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, the Raw Tag Team Championship, and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The last jewel in his grand slam crown was the Raw Tag Team championship which he won at SummerSlam. The win not only made him the 16^th grand slam champion, but it also made him the youngest grand slam champion in history. Congrats to Dean Amrbose on the accomplishment!

My Top 5 WWE Fantasy Matches

With WWE’s Survivor Series event hyping the “fantasy” matchup of Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg II, I thought that this would be a good time to share five fantasy bouts of mine. Some of these matches have a slight chance of happening while others can only take place in the world of WWE video games. For the sake of variety, I will not repeat wrestlers for this post. Without any further ado, here are my top five WWE fantasy matches.

5. Brian Pillman vs. Dean Ambrose

Being a Greater Cincinnati native, I would love to see the two most famous wrestlers from the Queen City square off in the middle of the ring. Pillman’s high flying maneuvers that earned him the nickname of “Flyin’ Brian” combined with his “loose cannon” gimmick would make for a very interesting wrestling mash up with Ambrose’s hardcore reputation and “lunatic fringe” character. As I said in my introduction, some of these matches can only take place in video games, and this match is one of them as Pillman tragically passed away in 1997.

4. Randy Orton vs. The Rock

This is a bout that I have played many times on my WWE video games. The “Viper” and the “Brahma Bull” would no doubt tear the house down if they ever met in a ring for a one-on-one match. They did have a previous encounter at Wrestlemania 20 in a 3-on-2 tag team match when Evolution took on the Rock ‘n Sock Connection, but these two third generation wrestlers have never battled each other in a singles match. Orton’s slow and calculating approach would clash wonderfully with the charismatic and electrifying tactics of the Rock. This match has a pretty good chance of taking place as Orton is still an active wrestler, and the Rock usually comes back to the WWE once a year.

3. John Cena vs. Hulk Hogan

I think this match is a no brainer as Cena, the self-proclaimed “face that runs the place,” is today’s version of Hulk Hogan. The similarities between their two characters are obvious as Cena’s mantra of “hustle, loyalty, and respect” is a modern twist on Hogan’s motto of “training, saying your prayers, and eating your vitamins.” Both are notorious for turning matches around in their favor with Hogan “hulking” up and Cena utilizing what have become known as the “five moves of doom.” These two teamed up with Shawn Michaels in 2005 on an episode of Monday Night Raw with Hogan going on to face Michaels instead of Cena later that year at Summerslam. A matchup between these two wrestling titans likely will not happen due to Hogan’s back issues and the fact that he is currently not with WWE.

2. Goldberg vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

Two of the biggest names to come out of the Monday Night Wars of the late 1990s and early 2000s have never exchanged fists inside the squared circle. Goldberg was arguably the biggest star in WCW, and the same can easily be said about Austin in WWE. Both of their onscreen characters were legitimate tough guys, and their look, wrestling style, and appeal to wrestling fans are eerily similar. Unfortunately, Austin’s history with neck injuries has made this matchup impossible to happen. These two just missed squaring off in 2003 as Goldberg made his WWE debut the night after Austin had his final match at Wrestlemania 19.

1. Sting vs. The Undertaker

To me, this is the ultimate dream match. Sting and the Undertaker were the two cornerstones for their respective companies during the Monday Night War. The stinger never left WCW, and the dead man remained loyal to WWE. Both of their characters evolved during this era of professional wrestling with Sting transitioning from a colorful surfer like wrestler to a silent vigilante reminiscent of “the Crow,” and the Undertaker morphing into the sinister leader of the “Ministry of Darkness” and eventually the intimidating reaper who rode motorcycles to the ring. After WCW was bought out by WWE in 2001, everybody thought that Sting and the Undertaker would finally meet. However, Sting would not appear in a WWE ring until 2014 when he made his WWE debut as the silent vigilante at Survivor Series. During Sting’s absence, the Undertaker had gone back to his dead man character, and these two wrestlers with similar gimmicks seemed destined to clash at the “Showcase of the Immortals.” It looked like the dream match between the Undertaker and Sting was on the verge of becoming a reality at Wrestlemania 31, but Sting faced Triple H and the Undertaker battled Bray Wyatt. A neck injury then forced Sting into early retirement, making this dream match just that, a dream. Sting has hinted that may have one more match left in him, but a bout between the icon and the phenom will most likely never happen.

Those are my top five WWE fantasy matches. I think that each match would be an exciting bout to watch and would easily be a match of the year candidate. There are more dream matches that I would like to see such as D-Generation X taking on the New World Order or Austin and Hogan meeting for the first time, but as I said in the introduction to this post, I was only listing one wrestler per match for the sake of variety. Hopefully one of these matches does indeed happen in the future, but until then, I will continue to play out these bouts in the form of video games.

Wresltemania 28 Two-Disc Blu-ray Set Review

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling event of all time. It features high profile matches, celebrity involvement, and showcases World Wrestling Entertainment’s product on a global stage. An event this big only happens once a year, but that does not mean you only have to watch it once every 365 days. WWE has released every Wrestlemania on some sort of home video format whether it be on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will review the different home video editions of Wrestlemania that I own.

In this post, I will take a look at the two-disc Blu-ray version of Wrestlemania 28. This is the first Wrestlemania on Blu-ray that I have ever bought. I have only watched it on a Blu-ray player hooked up to a 16:9 television, so I do not know if it will switch to a cropped version if viewed on a 4:3 television.

Disc 1 contains the entire Wrestlemania 28 event. It starts with the traditional singing of “America the Beautiful” and ends with the “Once in a Lifetime” dream match between John Cena and the Rock. There are also a few special features on the first disc as such as the Triple Threat WWE Tag Team Championship match that occurred before Wrestlemania 28 went live on pay-per-view.

Disc 2 contains the entire 2012 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony and it was a star-studded class. 2012 inductees included the Four Horseman, Mike Tyson, and Edge among other wrestling personalities. The second disc also contains bonus features such as segments from past episodes of Monday Night Raw and some of the buildup to the “End of an Era” Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and the Undertaker.

The packaging for Wrestlemania 28 is pretty solid. Since it was packaged in a standard Blu-ray case, the space was limited but I think WWE did a good job with working with what they had. The front of the case features the wrestlers involved in the biggest matches of the night, and the back features a list of matches and special features as well as a nice collage of pictures from the event. The inside of the packaging showcases a cool panoramic picture of the stadium that hosted Wrestlemania 28 with a list of the matches.

In conclusion, the Wrestlemania 28 two-disc Blu-ray edition is a great home video version of a phenomenal Wrestlemania. I can honestly say that this was one of the best Wrestlemanias I have ever seen. Chris Jericho and CM Punk put on a wrestling clinic, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and the Undertaker told an emotional and thrilling story filled with violence and brutality, and John Cena and the Rock closed out the show in tremendous fashion. This is a must-see Wrestlemania for every wrestling fan. I highly recommend you pick up this Wrestlemania on either Blu-ray or DVD. It was one of the best wrestling events produced by WWE during the “PG Era.”

Wrestlemania 27 3-Disc DVD Set Review

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling event of all time. It features high profile matches, celebrity involvement, and showcases World Wrestling Entertainment’s product on a global stage. An event this big only happens once a year, but that does not mean you only have to watch it once every 365 days. WWE has released every Wrestlemania on some sort of home video format whether it be on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will review the different home video editions of Wrestlemania that I own.

For this post, I will be reviewing the three-disc DVD set of Wrestlemania 27. The 2011 rendition of Wrestlemania was shot in high definition and can be viewed in either a 16:9 aspect ratio if you have a 16:9 screen television, or it can be viewed in a cropped 4:3 aspect ratio if you have an old “box” screen 4:3 TV.

Disc 1 contains the first few hours of Wrestlemania 27. It starts with the singing of “America the Beautiful” and ends with the “No Holds Barred” match between Triple H and the Undertaker. Also included on the first disc are two bonus features: the history of the feud between Alberto Del Rio and Edge, and the United States Championship match turned battle royal between Sheamus and Daniel Bryan.

Disc 2 picks up right where disc 1 left off by starting with the continuation of the Triple H versus Undertaker bout before ending with a highlight reel of the event. The second disc also contains a few special features that are worth a peak such as a bonus match between Jack Swagger and Jerry “The King” Lawler from Monday Night Raw, the Rock electrifying the city of Chicago, and the announcement of the Wrestlemania 28 main event.

The third disc features the complete 2011 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This class had some really good inductees such as “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Sunny, the Legion of Doom, and the biggest and most deserving of a hall of fame induction of the bunch, Shawn Michaels. He was the greatest in ring performer of all time, and his induction is a must see for all wrestling fans.

The packaging of this DVD set is okay. It is not anything special as it features the wrestlers involved in most hyped matches of the night. Compared to past Wrestlemania DVD packaging though, it seems kind of bland and lazy. There were tons of moments that they could have used to make a collage for the packaging. To me, that would have looked a lot better than just two pictures.

Overall, the Wrestlemania 27 three-disc DVD set is definitely something to watch if you are a diehard fan of professional wrestling. While the event was not the greatest Wrestlemania, I certainly do not think it was as bad as many people claim. Some of the matches were pretty boring such as the eight man tag team match and the match involving Snooki, but other matches such as Cody Rhodes versus Rey Mysterio, CM Punck versus Randy Orton, and Edge versus Alberto Del Rio were all solid and entertaining contests. The match of the night easily goes to the battle between Triple H and the Undertaker as it was hard-hitting affair in which the aftermath of the fight was one of the most memorable Wrestlemania moments of the “PG Era.” The biggest complaint I have with the DVD set is the removal of some of the songs from the event, especially during the entrances of Triple H and the Undertaker. Other than that, I thought that this was a good home video version of Wrestlemania 27.

Next up is the two-disc Wrestlemania 28 Blu-ray review!

Wrestlemania 26 3-Disc DVD Set Review

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling event of all time. It features high profile matches, celebrity involvement, and showcases World Wrestling Entertainment’s product on a global stage. An event this big only happens once a year, but that does not mean you only have to watch it once every 365 days. WWE has released every Wrestlemania on some sort of home video format whether it be on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will review the different home video editions of Wrestlemania that I own.

For this post, I will be reviewing the three-disc set of Wrestlemania 26. The 2010 rendition of Wrestlemania was shot in high definition and can be viewed in either a 16:9 aspect ratio if you have a 16:9 screen television, or it can be viewed in a cropped 4:3 aspect ratio if you have an old “box” screen 4:3 TV.

The first disc of this set contains the first few hours of the Wrestlemania 26 pay-per-view. As you probably guessed, it starts with the traditional singing of “America the Beautiful” and ends with the five on five divas tag team match.

Disc 2 has the rest of the event on it as it features the last two matches on the Wrestlemania 26 card. Also on the second disc area a lot of great bonus features that really make this three-disc DVD set one of the better Wrestlemania DVD sets that WWE has ever released. The bonus features include the 26-Man Battle Royal that happened right before Wrestlemania 26 went live and a variety of matches that feature wrestlers from the 2010 class of WWE Hall of Fame inductees.

The third disc of the three-disc set contains the entire 2010 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. While this class was not as star-studded as the 2009 version, it was still a really good group of wrestlers and entertainment personalities and included Wendi Richter, Stu Hart, and the “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase among others. My favorite induction from this class is of Bob Uecker, and if you are a fan of baseball, wrestling, or both, definitely check out this disc to watch Mr. Baseball’s induction.

The packaging of this Wrestlemania is not as cool as the Wrestlemania 25 packaging, but it still looks good and is very appealing. The front features all the participants from the four biggest matches on the Wrestlemania 26 card with the inside featuring pictures from the various matches that happened during the event.

In conclusion, the Wrestlemania 26 three-disc DVD set is one of the best home video versions of the showcase of the immortals that WWE has ever released. The actual event was very entertaining and featured good matches such as both world title bouts, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and Rey Mysterio taking on CM Punk. The match that stole the show, however, was the rematch between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker in which they put on a performance that blew the roof off the arena. That match alone makes this Wrestlemania a must-see for every wrestling fan. You can also find this event on a two-disc DVD set, which includes the pay-per-view and an abbreviated hall of fame induction ceremony. You can also get this event as a Blu-ray, which has better sound and picture than the DVD version.

Stay tuned for the Wrestlemania 27 three-disc DVD set review!

Wrestlemania 25 3-Disc DVD Set Review

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling event of all time. It features high profile matches, celebrity involvement, and showcases World Wrestling Entertainment’s product on a global stage. An event this big only happens once a year, but that does not mean you only have to watch it once every 365 days. WWE has released every Wrestlemania on some sort of home video format whether it be on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will review the different home video editions of Wrestlemania that I own.

The Wrestlemania 25 3-Disc DVD set is the subject of this week’s review. This Wrestlemania was shot in high definition and was released on both Blu-Ray and on DVD. The Blu-Ray version obviously has better sound and picture quality than the DVD version, but both have are able to be presented in either a 4:3 aspect ratio or a 16:9 aspect ratio. I prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio as the picture is wider, and you are able to see more things on screen as opposed to the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Disc 1 contains the first few hours of the Wrestlemania 25 pay-per-view on it. It starts with the traditional singing of “America the Beautiful” by Nicole Scherzinger and continues up to the Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Edge, John Cena, and the Big Show.

Disc 2 starts with the continuation of Wrestlemania 25, which includes the introduction of the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame Inductees and the WWE Championship Match between Randy Orton and Triple H. Also on disc 2 is the preWrestlemania 25 Lumberjack Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship in which the team of Carlito and Primo took on the Miz and John Morrison. The other special features are highlights from Wrestlemanias 1-24. The highlights are fun to watch as you get to speed through the first 24 Wrestlemania events.

The third disc of the set contains the entire 2009 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and features the inductions of the Funks, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. This was a good class with the biggest name on the list of inductees being Austin. Even if you do not enjoy watching the induction ceremonies, every wrestling fan needs to at least watch the induction of Stone Cold, one of the biggest if not the biggest icon in the professional wrestling industry.

The packaging for this Wrestlemania is fantastic, and I think it is the best-looking Wrestlemania packaging that WWE has ever done. The front of the packaging has the Wrestlemania 25 logo and a variety of wrestlers who were in the WWE at that time surrounding it. The inside of the packaging features pictures from the event with the two most prominent being of both world title matches. The DVD discs even look good as the first two discs have a similar look to the front of the packaging. The look of the third disc mirrors that of the first two with the difference being that instead of the Wrestlemania 25 logo and the wrestlers from WWE’s 2009 roster, it features the WWE Hall of Fame logo and the 2009 inductees.

Overall, the Wrestlemania 25 3-Disc DVD set is a great home video version of the pay-per-view. The packaging looks great, there are a lot of bonus features, and the event itself was really good. Highlights that make this Wrestlemania worth a watch are the Extreme Rules Match between Matt and Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho taking on Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, and Ricky Steamboat in a match in which Steamboat showed the world that, despite his age, he can still perform in the ring, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the Triple Threat Match for World Heavyweight Title, and the show stealing battle between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker, which is one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time. This was a really good Wrestlemania and one that needs to be in every wrestling fan’s collection.

Keep an eye out for the Wrestlemania 26 3-Disc DVD set review!

Wrestlemania 23 3-Disc DVD Set Review

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling event of all time. It features high profile matches, celebrity involvement, and showcases World Wrestling Entertainment’s product on a global stage. An event this big only happens once a year, but that does not mean you only have to watch it once every 365 days. WWE has released every Wrestlemania on some sort of home video format whether it be on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will review the different home video editions of Wrestlemania that I own.

In this week’s post, I will take a look at Wrestlemania 23. This event took place from Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, and was the first Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania 19 to take place in a stadium as Wrestlemanias 20, 21, and 22 took place inside arenas. This is an individual Wrestlemania DVD set meaning that only the 23^rd edition of Wrestlemania is included.

The action gets started on Disc 1 as it contains the first few hours of the Wrestlemania 23 pay-per-view. It starts from the beginning of the event which takes a brief look at the history of Wrestlemania, and it ends with the “All Grown Up” Shawn Michaels promo. This is all that is on the first disc. There are no special features at all so once you finish disc 1, feel free to move onto disc 2.

The second disc consists of the rest of the Wrestlemania 23 pay-per-view which is only the WWE Championship match and highlights from the event. Also on this disc are a lot of special features such as vignettes, countdowns, and highlights from various Raw and Smackdown programming. The home video exclusive tag team lumberjack match which took place moments before Wrestlemania 23 went live in which the team of Carlito and Ric Flair took on Gregory Helms and Chavo Guerrero is also included on disc 2, as is a WWE.com exclusive interview with CM Punk, the announcement of Ford Field being the host site for Wrestlemania 23, the Wrestlemania 23 ticket sale, and the Wrestlemania 23 press conference between Donald Trump and Vince McMahon.

Disc 3 is like the third disc in the Wrestlemania 21 and the Wrestlemania 22 DVD sets in that it has the entire 2007 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony that was held the night before Wrestlemania 23. This was a really good hall of fame class as it included Jim Ross, Jerry “the King” Lawler, Mr. Perfect, and Dusty Rhodes among others.

The packaging of Wrestlemania 23 is one of the best that WWE has ever done in my opinion. The front features the Wrestlemania 23 logo as well as the competitors involved in the events marquee matches. The inside of the packaging has pictures from a few of the matches as well as a series of pictures that show Jeff Hardy crashing down on Edge in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

The back of the DVD packaging is the opposite from the front in that it shows the results of the matches that were featured on the front of the case.

In conclusion, the DVD edition of Wrestlemania 23 is an excellent home video version of the actual pay-per-view. It contains the entire event as well as a ton of extras, great looking packaging, and the entire 2007 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Highlights from the pay-per-view include both of the world title matches, the money in the bank ladder match, and the “Battle of the Billionaires.” It was a pretty good Wrestlemania and is an even better DVD set.

Up next is the Wrestlemania 24 DVD set review! Stay tuned!

Wrestlemania 22 3-Disc DVD Set Review

Wrestlemania is the biggest wrestling event of all time. It features high profile matches, celebrity involvement, and showcases World Wrestling Entertainment’s product on a global stage. An event this big only happens once a year, but that does not mean you only have to watch it once every 365 days. WWE has released every Wrestlemania on some sort of home video format whether it be on VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will review the different home video editions of Wrestlemania that I own.

In 2006, World Wrestling Entertainment presented its 22nd edition of the showcase of the immortals in front of the always-rowdy Chicago crowd. It was a fun event that had a lot of memorable moments and as soon as WWE released it on DVD, I immediately picked it up for my home viewing pleasure. With this being an individual Wrestlemania DVD set, all three discs of the Wrestlemania 22 DVD set deal with Wrestlemania 22 in some sort of fashion.

Disc 1 contains some vignettes, the pre-Wrestlemania18-man interpromotional battle royal between the superstars of Raw and Smackdown, and the first few hours of Wrestlemania 22 as it starts with the traditional singing of “America the Beautiful” before ending with the announcement of where Wrestlemania 23 will take place. When viewing the first disc, I recommend watching the battle royal before the actual event in order to get the full Wrestlemania 22 experience.

Disc 2 contains the rest of the Wrestlemania 22 event as well as a ton of extras. Should you choose to continue watching Wrestlemania 22, the second disc picks up immediately where the first disc left off as the very entertaining triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship is the first match you will see. The extras included on disc 2 are what really make this DVD set shine. Aside from the home video exclusives that feature Mick Foley getting stitches and Rey Mysterio celebrating his World Heavyweight Championship victory, you also get to see the entire Wrestlemania Post Show, John Cena on Raw the night after Wrestlemania 22 addressing the hostile Chicago crowd that almost booed him out of the city, and Saturday Night’s Main Event that occurred a few weeks before Wrestlemania 22 in its entirety.

Disc 3 contains the entire WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony that featured the inductions of former Chicago Bear William “The Refrigerator” Perry, the late great Eddie Guerrero, and Bret “Hit Man” Hart among others. I enjoyed the induction ceremony and the Wrestlemania 22 edition had some very entertaining moments that make it worth a watch.

The packaging of this 3-disc set looks very cool as it features all of the competitors in what were arguably the night’s biggest matches as well as the classic Wrestlemania logo in which the “R” and the “S” are connected. Inside the case are the discs and pictures from the event with the two biggest pictures being of the then World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio and the then WWE Champion John Cena.

Overall, the Wrestlemania 22 3-disc DVD set is a very nice home video version of the event. It contains the entire Wrestlemania 22 pay-per-view, the entire pre-Wrestlemania 22 Saturday Night’s Main Event television special, and the entire WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Most of the matches on the card were fantastic and had me in awe. Shawn Michaels dropping a massive elbow on to Vince McMahon from an enormous ladder, Edge spearing Mick Foley through a flaming table, and the Money in the Bank ladder match acrobatics are just a few of the cool moments from this event. It is relatively cheap and easy to find today, so add it to your Wrestlemania collection.

Stay tuned for the Wrestlemania 23 DVD review!
