WrestleMania XIX (2003 TV Special)
8/10
Not the best Wrestlemania I watched, but it was still fantastic
16 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Now this was a very good Wrestlemania in my opinion, not the best that I watched of course but it was still very good & there were definitely some historic matches on the card.

FIRST MATCH- MATT HARDY W/ SHANNON MOORE VS. REY MYSTERIO FOR THE WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP What a better way to start Wrestlemania with the Cruiserweight Championship on the line. Great high-flying spots & great wrestling abilities by both men. Hardy retains his title after getting a roll-up on Mysterio using the ropes. 5/10

SECOND MATCH- UNDERTAKER VS. BIG SHOW & A-TRAIN IN A 1-2 HANDICAP MATCH {It was supposed to be a tag team match with Nathan Jones teaming up with Undertaker, but he was knocked out on Heat by the F.B.I who were told by Big Show & A-Train} Not a bad handicap match, but could of been a bit better. Nathan Jones comes out & nails cool karate kicks on both A-Train & Big Show which gets Undertaker to do a Chokeslam on A-Train for the win. 4/10

THIRD MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS. LOS GUERREROS {EDDIE & CHAVO GUERRERO} & CHRIS BENOIT & RHYNO IN A TRIPLE-THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Nice triple-threat tag team match which definitely reaches my expectations. All three teams brawl in the ring at one time. Benjmain & Haas get the hard fought victory in this triple-threat tag team match to retain their tag team titles. 5/10

FOURTH MATCH- VICTORIA W/ STEVEN RICHARDS VS. JAZZ VS. TRISH STRATUS IN A TRIPLE-THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP I'm not really a big fan of Diva matches, but this match was good, really. It was better than the triple-threat match last year at Wrestlemania X8. Trish Stratus gets the win & nails a Stratusfaction on Victoria for the victory to become the new WWE Women's Champion. 5/10

FIFTH MATCH- SHAWN MICHAELS VS. CHRIS JERICHO The feud between these two men finally reaches here at Wrestlemania where they both face each other one on one. It was a good match with both men giving everything they got to pull out a Wrestlemania classic. It was pretty long but it was good. Michaels wins after a roll-up on Jericho. After the match a frustrated Jericho attacks Shawn Michaels before leaving the ring. 5/10

SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H W/ RIC FLAIR VS. BOOKER T FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP I liked this match as both Booker T & HHH put a very nice World Title Championship match that they could possibly do. Both men who knocked each other down, get up just in time for HHH to nail a Pedigree on Booker T for the win to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. 5/10

SEVENTH MATCH- Hollywood HULK HOGAN VS. VINCE MCMAHON IN A STREET FIGHT MATCH Every Wrestlemania match that Vince McMahon is in is definitely good, because he always gets beaten up, bashed & bloody by whoever he is versing. This match was brutal but it was still good. Hogan wins after a Leg Drop on McMahon {Who was busted open during the match} & gets the win after a 3 count as Hulkamania goes wild here at Wrestlemania. 5/10

EIGHT MATCH- ROCK VS. STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN This is the third time these two men go one on one against each other at Wrestlemania. Their match at Wrestlemania X7 was really good, but this one was okay even though a bit sloppy & slow at times. After Stone Cold breaks out of 2 Rock Bottoms, he fails to break out the third Rock Bottom which Rock nails on him for the 3 count as Rock has finally beat Stone Cold here at Wrestlemania. 4/10

NINTH MATCH- KURT ANGLE VS. BROCK LESNAR FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Wow, these two men definitely blow the roof off the arena when they stepped in the ring to go one on one against each other. Both men tried some technical holds & some moves. Lesnar fights out of Angle's holds & nails a second F-5 in the match. Lesnar goes up on top & goes to nail the Shooting Star Press but misses which makes his head bleed a bit. Both men get up as Lesnar finally nails an F-5 on Angle for the win to become the new WWE Champion here at Wrestlemania XIX. What a match, this is definitely the match of the night & probably a Match Of The Year Candidate. After the match both men shake each other hands in respect as both these two men has pulled out a historical match at Wrestlemania. 6/10

This was a really good Wrestlemania. Way better than last year's in my opinion {Wrestlemania X8 was last year's Wrestlemania}.

Overall: I'll give it 8/10 & a B+
