Am a great fan of WWF from the beginning. Now I watch every episode of its event on TEN Sports channel. I was blown away when I heard WWE decided to set their main event of the 2005 WrestleMania 21 in Hollywood, making a tag line "WWE goes Hollywood". I was dying for that larger than life event; but what I got was an ordinary weekend wrestling episode.
WrestleMania 21 (Spoilers******)
This is my first comment on a WWF/WWE entertainment program, I am hoping it will stand as right as I enjoyed. So here it goes, Continuing from 2005 Royal Rumble, the winner Batista has to fight against his former team member HHH for the World Heavy Weight Title in this event; making it as the main High Light of WrestleMania 21.
Plus adding spice to the event we have 7 following matches. First time in WrestleMania History, fight between a tag team members >> Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Misteryio <<. Then getting the agreement for next World Heavy Weight Championship Contender, six people have to fight for their destiny in the Suitcase Ladder Match were the participants are >> Shelton Benjamin Vs. Christian Vs. Edge Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Kane <<. And the angry males like me for the cooling of minds a Divas Fight was set for finding the next Women Championship Winner. Followed with the Stupid Young Boy's dream to beat the Dead Man >> Randy Orton Vs. The Undertaker <<. Then the fight with real life Wrestler Vs fancy Wrestler >> Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle Vs. HBK Shawn Michaels <<. Same generic followed, this time in a Sumo style between two big ones, >> Big Show Vs. Aakimodo <<. Then comes the match to find the Champion of Smackdown >> John Cena Vs. JBL <<. Ending with World Heavy Weight match, we can see some celebrities in the viewer's side like Adam Sandler, C.S.I babe..etc,etc.
It was supposed to be the best WrestleMania but it failed to deliver the expected excitement. With minor appearance of old stars like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Piper with surprise cameo of new faces like Mohammad, Eugene and Carlito Cool, the show was weak to suppress the die hard fans like me.
In my opinion first mistake was its Ring settings, it has no big expensive ring as I expected. The ring looked ordinary were the slanted path way was the worst part of the building. Second comes the matches. All the matches except the Six Man Ladder match were average or below worst average! The first match Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Misteryio has nothing new, nothing fresh except Misteriyo appeared in new cutting mask and new tight fit T-Shirt which has the picture of his back tattoo. The match between the chicks was too quick and short, it did not deliver the glamour/nudity which every fan expected. I liked Trish Stratus's attitude, I liked her approach to satisfy the meat loving fans even though she appeared in shirt and strapped pant. The match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels was great at the last moments. Kurt Angle did an outstanding performance; I was surprised to see him lifting the Heart Break Kid whole upwards to the backside with his only left hand! Sumo match between real life Sumo championship winner Aakimodo and the WWE big superstar Big Show was fun at a different aspect. Yahe, seeing those fat men in semi-nude was funny, really. And I knew that winner would be Aakimodo, 'cause in Sumo/Asian wrestling there is no faking; they worship the truth in every athletic martial form. The fight between John Cena and JBL was below average, I have seen it a thousand times in Smackdown episodes, shame for them for not bringing something new to a WrestleMania match.
The Worst match was between Randy Orton and Undertaker, it sucked, it sucked a lot. From the beginning Undertaker's arrival to the ring in a tiny dolly was silly and sucked me lot. Then after the match started none of the wrestlers rise up to expected levels. Randy sucked in each and every minute while Undertaker failed to show his anger. Before WrestleMania Undertaker made a death message to Orton by slamming Durphy's head in Steel Platform by his finishing 'Last Ride' move. Watching that I expected a war from Undertaker but what I got was LAME FAKED SCRIPTED Fight. It sucked in all means.
The best match was the 6 MAN LADDER MATCH. It was really thrilling, after a long period WWF/WWE showed an outstanding match which reminds me the late 80's-90's of Wrestling. Each and every micro second ROCKED! I don't have any prejudiced winner for this match, but watching and enjoying Kane's performance and mannerisms I was hoping for his success. I think he is the real life version of Jason Voorhees! But things went totally upside down when Edge took the last and the best shot of his carrier! Truly it's the Super match of WrestleMania XXI.
By the way, last but not least, the main match HHH Vs Batista was simply OK, but not the best or the outstanding. Big fight of WrestleMania which includes Ric Flair with Triple H Vs. Batista doesn't have the 'near the edge experience'. I wanted an ultimate clash between Triple H and Batista. I wanted like this.. a lot of blood run, lot of destruction, a helper intruding fight, wrestle becomes a street fight that penetrates into the viewers, Batista's unseen failing chances and his unforgotten Damaged face!, with a last cutting edge finishing result. Neither the expectations comes true except HHH takes the courage to show his wounded forehead for the loosing of the World title.
WrestleMania 21 = Lamed Mania Ever.
