Summary: Maybe the Greatest Wrestlemania Ever
Comment: I dont understand how people are giving this less than five stars this is a great ppv and a great wrestlemania maybe the best
finlay and little horny vs jbl we start with the belfast brawl which was a pretty good hardcore match bad storyline but good opener it got me into the show they used a lot of hardcore toys and it was great until the finish which was pretty weak at least to me it was 4.5/5
mitb chris jericho vs shelton benjamin vs john morrison vs carito vs cm punk vs mvp vs mr kennedy this is the best mitb at least to me it is just awesome all the spots and it moved along perfectly but the best spots are morrison's moonsault with a ladder, benjamin's bump on the ladder, matt hardy comin in and his cutter off the ladder on mvp, carlito's back breaker of the ladder, the tower of doom off the ladder and morrison's bump on his crotch 5/5
umaga vs batista i was with the people in the front rows u u umaga u u umaga but of course this is the wwe and of course at wrestlemania because he lost last year batista had to have a win umaga beats him up the whole match and batista hits a spinebuster like always and then botched his sit out powerbomb which looked cool but at least he didnt kill our fatu 3/5
ecw championship kane vs chavo guerrero and off course i agree with everyone else o wait no i dont this is stupid it almost killed the whole show 1/5 for the good chokeslam
shawn michaels vs ric flair now thank god they had this match now it saved the show from dieing and it is the second best match of the card it is great some real good chops and some leg locks from both men and ric flair finally hits his diving cross body from the tope rope and also look right after hbk hit him with the superkick the last time he starts crying because he knew that this was the finish to his last match 5/5
maria and ashley vs beth phoenix and melina now i dont know what is so wrong with this match it is a pretty good womens match if you look at the playboy team it is there best match for both but not for wrestlemania 2.5/5
wwe chamipionship john cena vs hhh vs randy orton this is a pretty good match and a lot better than what i was thinking it was going to be but still felt like it could have been better but it was a little over ok and at least it wasnt main event 4/5
big show vs floyd mayweather it was so much better than i thought it would be and i find it very good fun to watch and i never got bored with the match but again a least mayweather didnt beat show cleanly like i thought he was going to be so that makes me feel better that paul didnt come back just to get buried right when he came back 4/5
world heavyweight championship undertaker vs edge o my freaking goodness this is one of the best wrestling matches i have ever seen they put on one heck of a show counter after counter and false finsh after false finish it is just one of the best matches i have ever seen and when i saw it for the first time to me it istantly became in my top ten best matches 5/5 and its a show stealer
76% which is a pretty good grade
the other match is a bad battle royal but the hof was really good this year so watch it also the best ppv for tna and wwe since bound for glory 2007 which is one of the best shows i have ever seen so if you dont have this or that buy them both great great shows

Summary: Not the best WM, but still good
Comment: Wrestlemania 24 was the second WM I've seen on PPV (WM23 being the first). I enjoyed it, but I felt it wasn't the best WM I've seen to date.
My Mum got me the limited edition tin case edition of WM24 for my 21st birthday on 13/07. I was going to buy it anyway, so that was a bonus.
First off, I have to commend the WWE for the packaging of the DVD. The tin case is superbly made, the DVDs themselves have a full colour photo on them and the whole thing is gorgeously made. They put a lot of effort into the packaging of the DVD and it shows. As a bonus, a card with a filmstrip of a scene from a past Wrestlemania is included - Shawn Michaels vs Steve Austin. A cool collectable.
Now, onto WM itself. It was a good event, worth the time and money, but in my personal opinion, it wasn't as good as the past few WMs. Let's rundown the matches:
Belfast Brawl: Finlay (w/ Hornswoggle) vs JBL
I was expecting this match to be boring because of JBL, who can't wrestle to save his life, but it was actually really exciting and a good opener to the show (I know the battle royal was the actual opener, but this was the opener on TV). It was great seeing Hornswoggle back and he even got involved. Loads of weapons were involved and there were a few great spots. The only downer was that JBL won. That makes it lose a star. (4/5)
Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Chris Jericho vs Shelton Benjamin vs John Morrison vs Carlito vs CM Punk vs MVP vs Mr. Kennedy
Another exciting MITB match, I think this one was better then last year's. Highlights included Shelton Benjamin's fall onto a ladder (and Carlito's facial expression afterwards), Matt Hardy running in to stop MVP getting the briefcase and CM Punk and Chris Jericho's fight at the top of a ladder to get said briefcase. CM Punk won and I'm glad. A great match. (5/5)
Battle For Brand Supremacy: Batista vs Umaga
This match was kinda boring. It wasn't up to WM standard and could have been featured on Raw or Smackdown. Speaking of which, Batista won, which means Smackdown is the better brand? I don't think so. Raw has been way better then Smackdown since the beginning of 2008. And Batista was wasted in this match, they could have found a way better match for him. But he won, and that's good. A mediocre match and Batista messed up the Batista Bomb, so that ruined it. (3/5)
ECW Championship Match: Chavo Guerrero (champion) vs Kane
This was the first match for a title, and yes it was only 8 seconds long but it was damn brilliant. I can't stand Chavo, so to see him lose that fast was just hilarious. It was great to see a new ECW champion and the whole thing was just funny. I can't give it a high mark though. (2/5 - just for the funny)
Career Threatening Match: Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
Match of the night, without a doubt. This one was worth the money of the PPV alone. I'm a huge Shawn Michaels fan, so to see him in a huge match such as this was just amazing. I think everybody knew that Ric was going to lose and retire, but it didn't ruin the match. Both men had their strong moments, and I winced when Shawn did the moonsault onto the announce table and cracked his ribs. The moving moment when Shawn mouthed "I'm sorry, I love you" made me cry and the standing ovation Ric got after ity was over was a perfect ending. Epic and should have been nearer the end of the card, for sure. This match also lead into a superb feud between Batista, Shawn and Chris Jericho that culiminated in some amazing matches at subsequent PPVs, too. (5/5)
Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjack Match: Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina (w/ Santino Marella)
w/ Snoop Dogg as the Master Of Ceremonies
Lumberjacks: Mickie James, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Cherry, Jillian Hall, Victoria, Layla, Katie Lea Burchill, Eve Torres & Maryse
I think I'm the only person who didn't think this match was that bad. It was really a match to calm people down after the Shawn vs Ric match right before it. Beth & Melina won, but Maria and even Ashley got in some good offence. Jerry Lawler got involved, taking down Santino and even Snoop attacked him after the match. I would have preferred a Women's Championship match though. (3/5)
Triple Threat Match For The WWE Championship: Randy Orton (champion) vs Triple H vs John Cena
Before I get into the match, how hilarious was John's entrance? He had a whole brass band play his entrance music xD I had no idea who the hell was coming out until his video began to play on the Titantron. The match itself was very entertaining - I find most triple threats/fatal 4 ways to be. Loads of attempted pins and breakups of pins, loads of crazy moves and the such. I was laughing all the way through it. I think most people were surprised that Randy retained though, as most people predicted John to win. Good match though. (5/5)
The Biggest vs The Best: Big Show vs Floyd "Money" Mayweather (w/ his HUGE entourage xD)
I was expecting this match to be absolutely horrible, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it was rather entertaining. I find Floyd Mayweather incredibly annoying though and I was rooting for Big Show the whole time (so was the crowd I noticed). Show did get offence in on Mayweather that I enjoyed and he even got some of his entourage too. Mayweather won after hitting Show with brass knuckles. It was pretty good for the match containing a celebrity. (4/5)
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge vs The Undertaker
I know some people say this match was predictable considering it was Edge's title vs Taker's reign, but there were moments when I thought that Edge might have actually beat Taker. Especially the Spear, I was on the edge (hah bad pun) of my seat, willing for Taker to kick out. Edge got help from the cronies (Hawkins & Ryder) and overall the match was exciting. Of course the best moment was Taker locking on the submission move and Edge tapping out. Brilliant end to the PPV. (5/5)
Overall, the show was good but not outstanding. Shawn vs Ric, the WWE title match, MITB and the WHC title match were the best matches. Everything else was either good (Show vs Mayweather, Belfast Brawl), ok (Divas), mediocre (Batista vs Umaga) or just funny with how ridiculous it was (ECW title).
Also on the DVD is the 24 Man Battle Royal that Kane won to qualify for the short ECW title match. It was on before WM went to air, and was quite entertaining. I was glad Kane won.
The other thing on the DVD is the 2008 Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. I've never watch the HOF in full before but I wanted to see The Rock and Ric Flair's speech so I watched the whole thing. It was uber long but really entertaining. The Rock is very funny - I laughed when he made fun of Chris Jericho's hair and The Marine (John's face was so funny) xD Ric's speech was both funny and moving.
The one thing I didn't like is how it was on 2 DVDs, half of the HOF was on the 2nd DVD and the other half on the 3rd. It ruined the flow for me.
Overall, a superbly made DVD, a great Wrestlemania and one of the best matches of 08 in Shawn vs Ric. A great buy.

Summary: I was there: One of the BEST Wrestlemania of the last 5 years
Comment: Wrestlemania XXIV was held on Orlando, Florida at the Citrus Bowl on Sunday March 30 2008. It was a great experience, I was there, the best thing was one of the few Wrestlemania ever held on an open field, so that add to the experience.
There are great matches here, but the most notorious, is the one with Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels, that would go down in history as the last match of the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
Also the championship match of Randy Orton, Triple H and John Cena in a triple threat match, the second time we have a triple threat in WM history would go down as one of the best matches all around.
The Undertaker vs Edge was a fun match but definitely not one of the best for any of them.
The Money in the Bank Ladder match was also a pretty good match.
The Divas match and the ECW championship match were the two bummers of the night.
This DVD capture the experience very well, as for extras there is the Hall of Fame ceremony, not one of the best but still fun and exciting due to the fact that Ric Flair was been inducted.
If you are a wrestling fan this is a must, you will enjoy this DVD, and if you were there like me, you will remember that Wrestlemania weekend at Orlando, FL. I know I will.
