    Wrestlemania 2000/XVI:"Fatal 4 Way" email views to theantichrist@activemail.co.uk
    (Well done antichrist with reviewing the wrestlemanias you can view a few at http://retrowrestlingppv.blogspot.com )


    Card=Big Bossman/Bull Buchanon beat Godfather/D'Lo Brown in a match that
    was OK, but definetly not the best choice to start the show! 3/10
    Test/Albert
    beat Steve Blackman/Al Snow in a good back and forth contest let down by
    technical problems with the announcers audio and a dead crowd 6/10-some
    nice sequences between these two teams here. Too Cool/Chyna beat Eddie
    Guerrero/Dean Malenko/Perry Saturn in a fun 6 person tag match, with a hot
    crowd 5/10. Kane/Rikishi beat X-Pac/Road Dogg in a short but watchable
    match 3.5/10-the crowd was hot for this match too. [Cat Fight]Terri beat
    The Kat in a gimmick match that served it's purpose for providing some
    welcome T&A if nothing else! 2/10. [Hardcore Title/15 Minute Battle
    Royal]Apparently Hardcore Holly won this 13 man match, but the ending was
    clearly botched and even the embarrassed announcers had trouble explaining
    the screw up. Basically what happened was Hardcore covered Crash Holly, but
    ref Tim Whites hand never counted the full 3 count. To make things even
    more complicated J.R proclaimed Crash got his shoulder up, when clearly he
    didn't! The Fink then announced Hardcore as the winner and we have an
    otherwise decent Battle Royal ruined 5.5/10(It would have been 6 if the
    ending wasn't botched!). [I-C/European Title/2 Out Of 3 Falls Triple Threat
    Match]Chris Benoit beat Chris Jericho to win the I-C Belt, while Chris
    Jericho beat Chris Benoit to capture the Euro Belt. The third competitor
    Kurt Angle lost both his titles despite not losing any decisions! 8.5/10-A
    very good match, which was expected from these three. [WWF Tag
    Titles/Ladder Match]Edge/Christian beat The Hardyz & The Dudleyz in an
    amazing match that could be considered an "Unofficial" TLC match 9.5/10.
    [WWF Title/Fatal 4 Way]Triple H beat The Rock, The Big Show & Mick Foley in
    a great match that surprised alot of people who had
    understandably low expectations from a match that featured The Big Show and
    a Mcmahon in every corner. 8/10-not the best Wrestlemania main event ever
    and it should have just been HHH vs Rock but still a very good match, high
    on entertainment.

    Overall=Not the best Wrestlemania ever but still a very underrated one with
    alot of good matches and only the "Cat Fight" anything close to a "DUD".
    The main event may have not been what the fans wanted but it was a
    surprisingly good affair, full of twists and turns. The Hardyz/Dudleyz/E&C
    Ladder match is the only must see match here but Benoit/Angle/Jericho
    deserve a mention too 6.5/10. Best Match=Hardyz/Dudleyz/E&C. Worst
    Match=Kat/Terri

    My WM-XVI Card=[WWF Title]Triple H vs The Rock(their classic at the
    following Backlash PPV where Steve Austin returned should have happened at
    Wrestlemania XVI!). [WWF Tag Titles/Ladder Match]Hardyz vs Edge&Christian
    vs Dudleyz. [I-C/European Title/Triple Threat/2 Out Of 3 Falls]Kurt Angle
    vs Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho[Hardcore Title]Hardcore Battle
    Royal(Despite the screwed up ending this match was fine as it was but i'd
    have made it a 15 Man match by adding Gangrel, Bossman and Godfather into
    the mix). [Light Heavyweight Title]Malenko vs Guerrero(We could have had
    another classic from these two and it would have been extra interesting
    with both men being part of the "Radicalz" stable). [Womens Title]Stephanie
    vs Chyna(Just to get the belt off "non wrestler" Stephanie whose Title
    reign was a joke!). Val Venis vs Saturn(instead of reffing the catfight,
    the underrated Val could have faced the equally underrated Saturn in what
    could have been the sleeper hit of the night). Kane vs Bull Buchanon(This
    might have been
    OK with two agile bigmen). [Catfight]The Kat vs Terri(ok hardly a match but
    abit of gratuitous T&A is fine by me!). Blackman/Snow vs Test/Albert(Screw
    the crowd, this match was surprisingly good!). Rikishi/Too Cool vs Big
    Show/X-Pac/Road Dogg.

    Another wrestlemania review as we lead to wrestlemania 22 by reader theantichrist4@activemail.co.uk
    to read the other reviews Click Here

    Card=Bad News Brown won a 20 man battle royal. The match wasn't the most
    exciting battle royal in the world but looking at the rest
    of the card it was proberbly the only way to kick off the show 3.5/10.
    Ultimate Warrior beat Hercules in a boring brawl 1.5/10 (WWF
    Title Tourney:Round 1)Ted Dibiase beat Jim Duggan in a very poor match
    1.5/10. Don Muraco beat Dino Bravo by DQ in a dull bout 2.5/10-Muraco was
    well past his prime by 1988. Greg Valentine beat Ricky Steamboat in a
    boring but passable match 4/10-thats
    Savage/Steamboat II out the window then! Randy Savage beat Butch Reed in a
    forgettable match 2/10. One Man Gang beat Bam Bam Bigelow by countout in a
    poor battle of the beasts 2/10(for Bigelows athleticism!) Jake Roberts &
    Rick Rude wrestled to a draw in a good, underrated match which
    might have bored some, but the purpose of the match was to be a gruelling
    epic and both men played their roles perfectly. 6/10 Bobby Heenan &
    Islanders beat Bulldogs & Koko B'Ware in a decent enough match,
    unsurprisingly thanks to The Bulldogs and Islanders 4.5/10-Heenan added some
    decent comic value too. (WWF Title
    Tourney:Round 2) Hulk Hogan & Andre
    went to a double DQ in a very poor excuse for a rematch 3/10. Ted Dibiase
    beat Don Muraco in a disappointing match 3.5/10 Randy
    Savage beat Greg Valentine in a dull match
    2.5/10.(WWF Tag Title)Demolition beat Strike Force in a solid match 5.5/10
    (WWF
    Title Tourney:Semi Final Match)Randy Savage beat One Man Gang in a
    predictable bout 2/10. (I-C Title)Brutus Beefcake beat Honky Tonk Man by DQ
    in a typical 80's style match, that the crowd made passable 2.5/10.(WWF
    Title
    Tournament:Finals)Randy Savage beat Ted Dibiase in a great but way too
    short match that was definetly the best match of the
    night. 8.5/10-On a downside though, Hulk Hogan just had to interject
    himself into this one and Savage's title win didn't mean as much as it
    should have since Hogan interfered in the match on Savage's behalf, giving
    The Macho Man an unclean win.

    Overall=A contender for worst Wrestlemania of alltime as well as most
    disappointing Wrestlemania of alltime because there was so much potential
    for great matches within the WWF Title Tournament, most notably Savage vs
    Steamboat II, which Savage could have won, making him and Steamboat even.
    Hogan vs Andre II was an atrocity! Hogan should have beat Andre, then
    jobbed to Dibiase(thanks to
    Andre's interference). This would have kept the Hogan/Andre feud going,
    plus it would have made more sense for Hogan to cost Dibiase the Title in
    the finals against Savage. We'd also have our Summerslam 88 main event set
    with Savage/Hogan vs Andre/Dibiase too! Wrestlemania IV doesn't have one
    must-see match on it, although Savage/Dibiase is a very good and underrated
    match, it's hardly what a Wrestlemania main event should be, especially
    given it's length. Up until 1988, Wrestlemania 2 was considered the worst
    but Wrestlemania IV would certainly pose strong competition to it cause
    while on the whole Wrestlemania 2 was a terrible show, it at least had one
    must see match on it(Bulldogs/Dream Team) 2/10-Wrestlemania IV was 4 hours
    of missed opportunities and
    wasted potential! Best Match=Savage/Dibiase. Worst Match=Warrior/Hercules

    My WM-IV Card=Tournament 1st Round-Dibiase vs Muraco(Dibiase
    wins) Bigelow vs One Man Gang(Bigelow wins). Steamboat vs
    Valentine(Steamboat wins)Savage vs Honky(Savage wins) Jake vs Rude(Rude
    wins). Warrior vs Hercules(Double Countout).(Rude gets bye to Semi Finals)
    Tournament 2nd Round-Hogan vs Andre(Hogan wins), Dibiase vs
    Bigelow(Dibiase wins), Steamboat vs Savage(Savage wins). Semi Finals-Hogan
    vs Dibiase(Dibiase wins), Savage vs Rude(Savage wins). Tournament
    finals-Savage vs Dibiase(Savage wins). (WWF Tag Titles)Strike Force vs Hart
    Foundation. Tag Team Battle Royal(Demolition win over Bulldogs, Islanders,
    Rougeau's, Stallions, Boshovieks and Bee's)
