Essay / Wrestlemania 19 - 790
Wrestlemania 19 is one of the greatest in Wrestlemania, I would have to rank it #3 in my personal favorites. Perfect match choice, excellent storytelling for almost every match, and often near-perfect wrestling. Very emotional for me at the time this came out, because my all-time favorite, Stone Cold Steve Austin, was facing his final match, against my second favorite of all time, The Rock. But I also enjoyed the storyline with HBK and Jericho, as well as Vince and Hogan. It's a near flawless Wrestlemania, only The Undertaker deserves a better match. Sunday Night Heat. Personally, hearing Lita's sexy voice, announcing alongside The Coach was pretty hot. WWE World Tag Team Titles. Kane&RVD vs. Chief Morley&Lance Storm|C|. Not bad, but the storyline was more interesting than anything else. At that time, the Dudleys were Bischoff's lackeys. Morley and Storm hold back, when the Dudleys change their minds.2 1/2 /5Cena comes out and criticizes Jay-Z. Entertaining to a certain extent actually. I actually like Cena, but I wish they would spice up his character like they did back in the day.2 1/2 /5Matches.WWE Cruiserweight Championship Matt Hardy|C| Against Rey Mysterio. A good way to start the show. Short, but quite exciting and perfect for engaging the audience. Hardy holds back when he uses the ropes.3/5Handicap match. Taker vs. Big Show/A-Train. Nice pop for Taker. The only terrible match on the card actually. The Undertaker deserved much better than that. Even the Taker Vs Big show would have been better. Taker wins when Nathan Jones comes down and helps.1/5WWE Women's Championship Trish Stratus vs. Victoria|C| Against Jazz. Great pop for Trish. Fantastic for women's wrestling. This really pisses me off... middle of paper......the rattlesnake, with 3 Rock Bottom's. Dwayne shows his true class at the end, giving him the out of character accolades, Austin rightly deserved the 5/5WWE Championship. Brock Lesnar vs. Kurt Angle|C|. Good pop for both, and the crowd is mixed. Wonderful way to end the show, with this amazing clinic they put on. Brock's shooting star pressure attempt was pretty sick, and Kurt was brave to go all out, with a terrible neck. Brock wins the title. Kurt turns around after the match, congratulating Brock.5/5Bottom line. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I like it as much as Wrestlemania 17. Still, it's still a near-perfect Wrestlemania. The crowd is respectful and involved in everything, while everything went wonderfully well. Wrestlemania 19 is an absolute must-see for wrestling fans, even new fans in school will love it!.
