WrestleMania 23 (2007 TV Special)
7/10
One of the greatest in a long time
24 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Well I must say that this years WrestleMania has been one of the better ones. It definitely beat both the past 2 WrestleManias 21 and 22.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - CM Punk vs Edge vs Jeff Hardy vs Finlay vs Matt Hardy vs Mr Kennedy vs King Booker vs Randy Orton This years money in the bank ladder match featured some of the top superstars from WWE and one from ECW. In the end Jeff Hardy took himself and Edge out of the match after falling on top of Edge through a ladder In the end it was only Finally, CM Punk and Mr Kennedy left standing. Kennedy rolls all over the little bastard after Finlay's little bastard tried to win the match for Finally. CM Punk knocks Kennedy off and right when he is going to grab the briefcase he is knocked out by Kennedy. Kennedy picks up the win after.

Kane vs the Great Khali Nothing much here then 2 giants slugging it out. Kane body slams Khali though shades of Hogan and Andre. Khali wins after a double choke-slam.

Chris Beniot vs MVP (United States Championship) Well there are 2 ways to look at this if you are not a fan of technical wrestling this match will put you to sleep thats the way to put it. MVP had an outstanding WrestleMania performance and he will only get better. Benoit retains not by submission but with the Diving Headbutt.

Batista vs The Undertaker (World Heavyweight Championship) My god this was the match of the night in my opinion but it did not make sense why it was so low on the card this should have been the second to last match at least. Well both men put on a really good performance, Batista dominated mostly throughout the match even power slamming Undertaker through a table. Undertaker came back though and hit a last ride on Batista. Batista kicked out then hit a Batista Bomb on the Undertaker. But Undertaker kicked out! Undertaker then hits the Tombstone Piledriver and wins the World title. Winner and new champ The Undertaker.

ECW Originals vs the New Breed Well after the Taker Batista match this match did not deserve to be higher then that and like all ECW match's this one sucked. Originals win after RVD hit a frog splash on Matt Striker.

Bobby Lashly vs Umaga with Stone Cold as Referee OK battle of the billionaires had one major problem with the story Donald Trump has little hair as it is and I don't think he would agree to do something (since WWE is pre determined) to lose his hair. Well Stone Cold made this match thats why a lot of wrestling fans watched it, others did because Trump was on it. Lashly wins after Stone Cold stuns Umaga then Lashly hits a spear the pin Umaga. After Lashly, Trump and Stone Cold shave Mcmahons head.

Ashley vs Melina (Womens Championship) OK first of all can anyone explain why this out of all things was the 2nd highest match on the card? Because I sure don't know why. The whole match was a waste of time point made. Melina retains her title when she pins Ashley.

HBK vs John Cena (WWE Championship) Main events at Wrestlemaina are always special but as a fan I got to say i am disappointed that HBK did not walk out as champion. Very physical match HBK out wrestles Cena for the first half of the match until he cracks his head open on the ring post. Cena then dominates HBK up until HBK pile-drives Cenas head on the ring steps busting him open. Both men hit their finishers the FU, Sweet Chin Music and the STFU but neither can seem to win. Then Cena traps HBK in the STFU one more time forcing him to tap. Winner and still champion John Cena.

Well the main event outcome was the same as last years which I think why people are not happy with it.

Still a Great WrestleMania if you were not able to catch it live or on Pay Per View when it comes out on DVD go buy it as soon as you can.

Overall Grade A-
