Summary: WrestleMania X7--Houston, We Have a Problem
Review: Some call the 2001 edition of WrestleMania one of the WWE's greatest. Hard to argue with that.

Y2J vs Regal--Solid match.

RTC vs APA/Tazz--Steven Richards and his white shirted men get theirs.

Hardcore Championship Triple Threat--Great legdrop by Kane on the 500-pound Big Show.

Latino Heat vs Test--Okay Match, but Radicalz help Eddie become European Champion.

Angle vs Benoit--Great match to start their classic rivalry. Here's hoping that they lock horns at WrestleMania XX in MSG (2004).

Ivory vs Chyna--Ivory gets hers by being so stupid signing the contract banning her male RTC friends from ringside, because she couldn't beat Chyna 1-on-1.

McMahon Street Fight--Awesome display by Shane-o-Mac, with Linda, Trish Stratus and Mick Foley coming in to help dupe Vince.

TLC II--Greatest TLC ever, with all six participants (plus Lita, Spike and Rhyno) taking their share of bumps (especially Jeff Hardy).

Gimmick Battle Royal--Long Introductions, short battle royal. Nice to see Mean Gene and the Brain doing commentary. Only thing missing was Andre the Giant (God rest his soul).

HHH vs Undertaker--Great enterances, brutal match. It's Game Over as Triple H becomes just another "Dead Man Walking" to Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Austin vs Rock--Greatest match EVER between these two. Aside from Vince McMahon joining forces with Stone Cold, this match has everything that a WrestleMania Main Event should have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Biggest Spectacle of all time
Review: The Houston Astrodome was a packed house. The biggest PPV of all time beared witness to the biggest main event of all time: The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Weeks of waiting, trash-talk, stipulations, and interference from the boss, two of the biggest names in the business were going to war. The Houston Astrodome was electrifying all night long and with a historic father/son rivalry, a TLC match that defined the laws of gravity, Wrestlemania X7 is the ultimate PPV to get if you are a fan of the WWF.

Below I have listed the matches in order:

1. WWF Intercontinental Championship-
Chris Jericho(champion) vs. William Regal

2. 6 man tag team match-
APA & Tazz vs. Right to Censor

3. WWF Hardcore Championship (triple threat)-
Raven(champion) vs. Big Show vs. Kane

4. WWF European Championship-
Test(champion) vs. Eddie Guerrero

5. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit

6. WWF Women's Championship-
Ivory(champion) vs. Chyna

7. Street Fight (special referee)-

Wrestlemania X7 will go down in history as one of the greatest PPV's of all time. Every match was a slobbernocker and the fans were into each one. Many titles changed hands, and there was much brutality in the TLC 2, Undertaker vs. Triple H, and the triple threat hardcore match. But none of these messure up to the main event, possibly the biggest main event ever, was exhilirating and stunning. If your ready for a hell of a fun DVD and the most shocking ending in history then get WRESTLEMANIA X7 now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Wrestlemania of all time
Review: If you are looking for a Wrestlemania to get on DVD, Wrestlemania 17 should be at the top of your list. There were 11 matches and 6 titles on the line. A night no one can or will ever forget, with 4 main event caliber matches and a ending that shocked the world.

1. WWF Intercontinental Championship Match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. William Regal (WWF Commissioner); There was a great build up to the match and I think it should have happened later in the event. It was still a great opener and Chris Jericho was able to win.8/10
2. 6 Man Tag Team Match: APA and Tazz vs. Right To Censor; A good match with lots of action. APA and Tazz win thanks to a Clothesline from Hell.7/10
3. Triple-Threat Match for the WWF Hardcore Championship: Raven (c) vs. Big Show vs. Kane; One of the best if not the best hardcore match I have ever seen. Incredible action throughout the match and a great ending in which Kane picks up the victory. 10/10
4. WWF European Championship Match: Test (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero; It should have been the opener, but the action was decent. Eddie steals another match thanks to his friends. 7/10
5. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit; A great wrestling match. Both men wanted to make the other tap out and it ended in a rollup and Angle victory. 9/10
6. WWF Women's Championship Match: Ivory (c) vs. Chyna; Ivory did not stand a chance it was all Chyna. A short match and a easy win for the new Women's Champion Chyna. 6/10
7. WWF Street Fight Match: Shane McMahon vs. Mr.McMahon with Mick Foley as special guest referee; A awsome match with a surprise in the middle and a great move at the end that lead to Mr.McMahon being beat by his own son Shane. 10/10
8. WWF T.L.C 2 Tag Team Champioship Match: Dudley Boyz (c) vs. Edge and Christian vs. Hardy Boyz; A great match. Almost every move was awsome and unbelievable. A match for the ages with Edge and Christian wining. 10/10
9. Gimmick Battle Royal: featuring Nikolai Volkoff, Kamala, Kimchee, Iron Sheik, Sgt. Slaughter, Repo Man, Earthquake, Gobbledy Gooker, The Goon, Tugboat, One Man Gang, Hillbilly Jim, Brother Love, Doink The Clown, Duke Droese, Freebrid Michael Hayes, Jim Cornette, and The Bushwhackers (Luke and Butch); A fun match to see people were gone quickly and the Iron Sheik won.8/10
10. Triple H vs. Undertaker; A unbelievable match. Both men put it all on the line. The second best match of 2001 and Wrestlemania history. The only match better than this one was the main event of this Wrestlemania! 10/10
11. WWF Championship Match: The Rock (c) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin; The best match I have ever seen. Both men were bleeding a great amount and were beating the hell out of each other. This match has an ending you will not believe and it caped off the best Wrestlemania I have ever seen. 10/10

The World Wrestling Federation out did themsleves on April 1, 2001 in The Houston Astrodome with the thrid largest crowd in Wrestlemania history of 67,925 people. Wrestlemania 17 in my opinion is the best event in WWF history. 100/100

Review: Match #1 IC Championship Match: Chris Jericho vs. William Regal
Great Opener Solid Match.

Average Six Man Tag Team Match.

Lots of Hardcore Action Kane sends Raven through a window and riding on Golf Carts

Match #4 European Championship Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Test
Ok Match boring at points but some good spots.

Match #5 Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
Fantastic Match all ive got to say.

Match #6 Womens Championship Match:Ivory vs. Chyna
Stupid Match Chyna had recovered and like Ivory would beat this SHEMALE.

Match #7 Street Fight:Shane McMahon vs. Vince McMahon
Pretty Brutal Street Fight with Mick Foley as the Ref great move to end the match.

Match #8 TLC II Tag Team Championship MAtch: Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian
If your thought TLC I was good then you aint seen nothin yet instead of 6 men its more like 9 when Spike Dudley, Rhyno and Lita get involved.

Match #9 Gimmick Battle Royal
BORING!!!!!!!

Match #10 Undertaker vs. Triple H
Good Match abit stupid when the Ref gets knocked out during the whole Match but apart fromt hat good match.

WWF Championship: Stone Cold Steve Austin -vs- The Rock

None of these matches were sleepers! Everyone of them exceeded any expectations I may have had. But the high spots for me were TLC II and the Championship match. Each of the teams in TLC II should be proud of themselves for the effort they put into it. Honestly, after what they went through, I don't see how they are all still walking around. And it looked like Stone Cold was gonna cripple the Rock with multiple, relentless chair shots in the Championship match. What a bloody battle! At one point, I almost thought I was watching WrestleMania 13 because The Rock had Stone Cold in the Sharpshooter and Austin was a bloody mess! Of all the PPV's I've watched, this one was by far the greatest!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ...of all time...
Review: The three words "of all time" get thrown around a lot in this day and age, and I am not innocent of constantly uttering them myself, in effect watering down their significance. But when I say that Wrestlemania X7 is the greatest Wrestlemania -- even greatest PPV -- OF ALL TIME, I am not exaggerating. Everything from the opening montage to the post-main event celebration was electric live on PPV and none of that electricity is lost on DVD.

This was a Wrestlemania that WWF needed to succeed, what with the failure of the previous year's Wrestlemania 2000. The WWF attained that success with X7, in everything from the card to live attendance to PPV buys. Most of the matches had well built storylines and were just great matches in themselves. Another treat was the Gimmick Battle Royal featuring special appearances by the always-welcome Bobby Heenan and Mean Gene.

One aspect to this PPV that made it such a success was the diversity of the card. Wrestlemania 2000 was bogged down in tag team matches, triple threats and unproven wrestlers. X7, however, had something for everyone. Technical wrestling fans will drool over Benoit vs. Angle for years to come. Hardcore fans love the TLC II match. Fans of the over-the-top storylines were into the father vs. son match. And fans of the industry's top two stars at the time, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, will always remember fondly their main event that night on April Fool's day in 2001.

The DVD extras aren't much, but what do you need with extras when the PPV event itself gives you one hell of a show? Even with all of the positives on this show, there are some negatives. In the aformentioned father vs. son match, fans did not react well to Shane's WCW allegiance and this slightly took away from the impact of his win over Vince, although it was more Linda McMahon's win than Shane's. Also, some of the other matches just didn't click for whatever reason. Although a very decent opener, Regal vs. Jericho was a bit off, as the latter was going 100MPH and Regal just didn't seem to be in key that night. Chyna vs. Ivory was an atypical squash match akin to those we used to see on WWF Superstars in the late 80's. But one of the greatest advantages DVD has over VHS is the ability to go to the next scene instantaneously at the press of a button.

Wrestlemania is WWF(E) and pro wrestling at its best. Get this DVD.

Summary: A look at how good each match was.
Review: WrestleMania XVII was one of the best wrestling cards of all time, and the best one this year. Let's break down the matches, piece by piece.

(These are all rated out of *****):

Intercontinental Title: Chris Jericho vs. William Regal: ***. Very solid match.

The RTC vs. The Acolytes and Tazz: *. Decent match, but it was kept short, so it didn't suck.

Hardcore Title: Raven vs. The Big Show vs. Kane: * 3/4. A fun little hardcore brawl.

European Title: Test vs. Eddie Guerrero: ***. A solid match that was exactly what I expected.

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit: **** 1/4. The first in their series, and it doesn't disapoint!

Women's Title: Ivory vs. Chyna: DUD. At least it was short.

Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon: *** 1/4. A great sport entertainment brawl.

Tag Team Titles: TLC II: The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian: *****. Nothing more needs to be said.

Gimmick Battle Royal: DUD. Not a good MATCH, but a lot of fun for old school fans.

Triple H vs. The Undertaker: ***. The 'Taker's best match in ages.

WWF Title: The Rock vs. Steve Austin: **** 3/4. 68,000 people came to see THIS, and they weren't disapointed. The "Bottom Line?" See it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Few matches saved this PPV from being a baddy
Review: I didn't think this was the best wrestlemania ppv of all time.
It was alright. Though I thought these Matches saved it from being a bad night of PPV history to watch.

Shane vs Vince with foley as special guest reffery
Undertaker vs Triple H...My favorite match of the night
Austin vs the Rock
TLC match

I thought it was an average PPV.

Overall I enjoyed it very much.

Not the best WM though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST PPV EVER and that's the bottom line!
Review: Wrestlemania X-Seven (2001)

Intercontinental Title - Chris Jericho V William Regal
A solid opener, which got the crowd interested. It had a good pace and a nice ending. 7/10

RTC V APA and Tazz
This wasn't really a very good match, but it was nice to see RTC getting beaten up! 6/10

Hardcore Title - Raven V Big Show V Kane
This was a fantastic hardcore match, with only a few seconds of it happening in the ring. They go backstage, where the use various weapons and smash through a door, a glass window, and even a wall. The ending is also great! 9/10

European Title - Test V Eddie Guerrero
Pretty solid match, although one of the worst of the night. 6/10

Kurt Angle V Chris Benoit
If you like technical matches, this is an easy 10/10 match. I don't like them that match, but I still enjoyed this. 7/10

Women's Title - Ivory V Chyna
This was crap really, but it was saved by it's shortness and the fact that Ivory (part of RTC at the time) got kicked in! 5/10

Street Fight - Vince McMahon V Shane McMahon
A brilliant brawl, with weapons including signs and trash cans. Also, Shane jumps right through the Spanish announce table. The best part however was when Linda got up and kicked Vince in the balls. The crowd reaction at that point was fantastic! 9/10

Tag Team Titles Tables Ladders and Chairs (TLC II)
The Dudley Boyz V The Hardy Boyz V Edge & Christian
This was absolutely AMAZING! Match of the night! The moves are incredible, including a Swanton off an amazingly high ladder, and Matt and Bubba going through 4 tables on the outside of the ring from a ladder pushed over from inside. Also Lita, Spike and Rhyno all come in, making it even better. Loads of tables break, there are some great chair shots and some brilliant ariel moves off ladders. An incredible match, one of the best matches I've ever seen. 10/10

Gimmick Battle Royal
The entrances are actually longer than the match. It's just a bit of fun really, not a proper match. Some old commentators announce it. Not a match, but funny and entertaining, and it was a good way of calming the crowd. No Rating since it wasn't really a proper match.

Triple H V Undertaker
The Ref get knocked out for ages, and they fight through the crowd and up to the camera tower, where Triple H is chokeslammed from. When they get back to the ring Triple H hits an amzing Sledgehammer shot on Undertaker, and the end is fantastic. A great match. 9/10

WWE Title - The Rock V Stone Cold Steve Austin
The main event of the best event of all time, and it lived up to the hype! It's cool when the match is introduced, as they announce that it will be No DQ, getting a great crowd reaction. The match is amazing, neither man will stay down. The use finishers, they use eachothers finishers, the use weapons, but they just keep kicking out! In the end Austin hits Rock with a chair masses of times to keep Rock down. After the match, Austin and Vince shake hands, an incredible ending, absolutely unbelievable! 10/10

Overall
Wrestlemania X7 is not only the best Wrestlemania ever, but the best wrestling event EVER! Nothing more needs to be said!
