151. The Undertaker vs Triple H (WrestleMania X-7)

It’s WrestleMania weekend!!! And what does that mean? I should do a review of a ‘Mania match! I have a few Top 10 ‘Mania-related lists, one about Top 10 ‘Mania Main Events (click here to see) and one about Top 10 ‘Mania matches (click here to see). But what about underrated WrestleMania matches? You have Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper, Ric Flair vs Randy Savage, the ‘Mania XIII Street Fight, Daniel Bryan vs HHH…there are plenty more, of course considering WrestleMania has been going for nigh-on forty years. But one of my favourite underrated matches is Undertaker vs HHH from WrestleMania X-7. Yes, forget their other two subsequent ‘Mania bouts. For me, this is their best clash…

Review: WWE Network’s 100 Best Matches To See Before You Die: #8 The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. Edge and Christian (WWE Tag Team Titles, TLC Match, WWE Wrestlemania X-7)

(Here’s the link for the match on the WWE Network: http://network.wwe.com/video/v31599441/?contentId=31599441&contextType=wwe-show&contextId=wrestlemania )

We saw the beginning of the Attitude Era’s tag team revolution #29 with The Hardy Boyz vs Edge and Christian in the first ever tag team ladder match (click here for my review).

But this sequel is just as insane and incredible. The Hardyz, The Dudleys and Edge and Christian pull out all the stops to top the craziness seen in the first TLC match. Rhyno, Spike Dudley and Lita all get involved to make the encounter even more chaotic. Continue reading

Review: WWE Network’s 100 Best Matches To See Before You Die: #12 The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (WWE Title, No Disqualification. WWE Wrestlemania X-7)

Is this the best WrestleMania main event ever? The WWE Network’s 100 Best Matches…List would have you believe it’s Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII in an Iron Man match (placed at #10. Click here for my review!). I’m here to tell you that the Iron Man match is a borefest (if I remember correctly). The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania X-7 is surely the best ‘Mania main event ever at the top of one of the best Manias ever. Austin vs The Rock had everything, from a good build, a clash of two top stars, drama, blood and a delicious twist. It represented everything great about the Attitude Era whilst signalling the end of said era. Continue reading
