Description: The Ragin' Climax! The biggest Pay-Per-View extravaganza of all time! Witness Stone Cold Steve Austin overcome months of adversity to regain the WWF Championship. It's three hours of action with all your favorite superstars!
To me, the third WORST wrestlemania of all time Wrestlemania 15 was very awful. Only about 3 matches are watching and that is including the WWE title match. It had a good opener but the ppv didn't give much after that. Very poor ppv put together.
1. Hardcore Championship Billy Gunn vs. Al Snow vs. Hardcore Holly This was actually a good match up to start things off. It was very high energitic. It progressed at a good pace and their were some interesting weapons brought into the match. Holly takes a hard chair shot to the head from Gunn. there was a nice table crash too. Snow added some comedy to the match as well. pretty good opener to say the most. 3.5/5
2. WWE Tag Team Championship Test & D Lo Brown w/ Ivory vs. Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart w/ Debra Pretty decent tag match here. Some nice tag team moves and some good counters but it ended so soon. about 7 or 8 minutes at the most in length. average match. 2.5/5
3. Brawl for All Boxing Match Butterbean vs. Bart Gunn Vince tryed so hard to get us to believe that Gunn was actually a prime boxer but to me he didn't showed me $h!* in this match. Very stupid a55 segment right here. I belive Butterbean took it easy too. Buttermean knock Bart's a55 out in the first 30 seconds, HAHA. 0.5/5
4. Big Show vs. Mankind This match was here to declare the special referee in the main event. It had some decent physicality. Some hard shots as well but this wasn't wrestlemania material. this could have been saved for raw. The after match slap added more to the match. 3/5
5. Fatal Four Way for the Intercontinental Championship Road Dogg vs. Goldust vs. Val Venis vs. Ken Shamrock I didn't get the style of this match. The match more resemble of a tag match than a fatal four way. You had to tag to enter the match. One of the best match on the card though. Some good wrestling and some good high risk too. Pretty cool reversals as well. Had a pretty good ending. 3.5/5
6. Triple H vs. Kane Before the match got underway, Pete Rose gets tombstone once again by Kane. Pretty better than decent match. Some good outside brawling. Some good in ring work as well. Chyna would come to ringside and introduce the steel steps to the match. The dq really hurt the match rating a lot to me. It could have got a higher rating if it had a better ending. Triple H pedigrees Kane onto a steel chair though. 3.5/5
7. Women's Championship Sable vs. Tori This was a pretty boring womens match up to me and Sable nor Tori are good women wrestlers by any means. Boring as hell to me. 1/5
8. European Championship Shane McMahon w/ Test vs. X-Pac This was to believe it or not probably the second best match of the night. Shane really proved himself in this match. Shane & X-Pac even whip each other with a leather belt in this one. A lot of interference from Test but it didn't really hurt the match. Some nice aerial moves and some good counters. Pretty good match. Triple H & Chyna would eventually turn their back on D-Generation X in this one. 4/5
9. Hell in the Cell Match Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer vs. Big Bossman This is defiantly the worst Hell in the cell match of all time. No real hell in the cell violence happening whatsoever. You even forget that this match was a Hell in the Cell match at times. A real disappointment right here. Lousy hell in the cell match. 2/5
10. WWE Championship The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin This match was defiantly the match of the night but itself wasn't 5 stars to me. They added the no dq rule to the match which did added more to it. Pretty good match. Some good brawling on the outside and a good table spot. Good main event but this wasn't even good enough to buy this ppv. A nice ending to a very poor wrestlemania. 4.5/5
Like I said, this was to me the third worst wrestlemania of all time. Very boring matches and not good whatsover. If you're a collector of wrestlemania's get it but other than that don't even worry about this one unless you buy the anthology sets.
Mixed bag While on Thanksgiving Break I had a craving to watch old WWE ppv's and this was one of them. This is by far one of the worst WrestleManias out there
Hardcore Champion Billy Gunn VS Bob Holly VS Al Snow: One of the few highlights of the WWF back when Triple H and Steph took over the company. They really need to bring the hardcore title back, at least it will give some wrestlers something to do.
WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett VS Test and D'Lo Brown: Nice to see Owen Hart in a match. The match itself wasnt to great.
Butterbean VS Bart Gunn: What a stupid idea.
The Big Show VS Mankind: For a WrestleMania event, they treated alot of matches like they could have been saved for Raw. This was one of them.
Intercontinental Champion Road Dogg VS Goldust VS Ken Shamrock VS Val Venis: Decent match with four workers I could careless about. Although I think I use to like Shamrock.
Kane versus Triple H: See Big Show VS Mankind
Women's Champion Sable VS Tori: I never watch women wrestling
European Champion Shane McMahon VS X-Pac: Like Kane VS HHH and Mankind VS Big Show, a good match with a stupid ending.
The Big Bossman VS Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell: You think Oh cool, Hell in a Cell. Wrong. For these two wrestlers they could have done alot better but the match was alright but nothing like other Hell in a Cell matches out there. It lasted a mere 15 minutes. As I said earlier, could have been on Raw.
WWF Champion the Rock VS Steve Austin: These two headlined a few WrestleMania's afterwards but I dont think one of the matches didnt have outside interference in it. A very good match with Austin winning the title as Vince looked on in disbelief.
A very bad WrestleMania that looks more like a Raw show of the time. Worth one look if you want to say that you've seen all the WrestleMania's.
WRESTLEMANIA 15 Triple Threat Hardcore Championship Match 1.Holly vs Gunn vs Snow fun match,table spot was nice 7/10
2.World Tag Team Championship Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) vs Test and D'Lo Brown (w/Ivory) nice tag team match, a bit short,but its quality over quantity MATCH RATING 7/10
3.Brawl for all Butterbean vs Bart Gunn All I got to say is one punch knockout MATCH RATING 10/10
4.Mandkind vs Big Show Good match, stupid ending MATCH RATING 6/10
5.Four Corners Elimination Match for WWF Intercontinental Championship Ken Shamrock vs Goldust (w/The Blue Meanie and Ryan Shamrock) vs Val Venis vs Road Dogg Good Elimation match, somewhat random and confusing concept of the match due to the taging involved, it would have been better if it was all the men in the ring at the same time but it was still good. MATCH RATING 7/10
6.Kane vs Triple H Really good match except for ending, chyna makes appearance MATCH RATING 7/10 WOULD HAVE BEEN 8 IF IT HAD A REAL ENDING
7.Sable vs Tori for Womens Championship Good Solid womens match, Nicole Bass makes debut MATCH RATING 7
8. Shane McMahon (w/Test) vs X pac for European Championship Good, fun, entertaining match, the ending of the match was awesome,the ending was so unexcepting MATCH RATING 8
9. Undertaker vs Bossman Hell in a Cell Good brawl/wrestling match, not good hell in a cell, needed more time and have alot more spots but it was decent, its always fun to watch taker in the attitude era anyways, his character was like satan himself, after the match what taker and the brood do to bossman is really what made this match worth watching MATCH RATING 6
10.Steve Austin vs The Rock for WWF Championship Awesome match, great come back by the rattlesnake and I like it how mandkind and vince got involved, great match MATCH RATING 9
Great Wrestlemania!! I originally bought this only for the Tori vs Sable match because I'm such a Tori fanatic *lol* but I caught myself being glued to the tv throughout the entire pay per view! The Austin vs Rock main event was unbelievable and no part of the show was boring to me...unlike some of WWE's current pay per views. GREAT BUY!
One of the Worst Wrestlemanias Hardcore Champion Billy Gunn versus Bob Holly and Al Snow This was a pretty good way to start the show. It was short, fast paced and fairly exciting. Not the best match on the card, but not bad.
WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett versus Test and D'Lo Brown Although it is always nostalgic to watch an Owen Hart match, this one was short and uninteresting. The team of Test and D'Lo Brown was thrown together prior to the beginning of Wrestlemania XV and there was little chemistry in the match.
Butterbean versus Bart Gunn Very quick, this match is known solely for ending Bart Gunn's WWF career. It was a legitimate match and ended after about thirty seconds.
The Big Show versus Mankind Another very short match, though it was somewhat entertaining. A lame ending ruined the contest.
Intercontinental Champion Road Dogg versus Goldust, Ken Shamrock and Val Venis (Four Corners Match) This was a pretty good match with four guys who can put on a decent show. It was nicely paced and definitely entertaining. It is one of the best matches on the card, which is a probably since it was not that good.
Kane versus Triple H Like the Big Show/Mankind match, this one was ruined by a lame ending. Fortunately, it was given more time and both wrestlers looked good. It's worth watching.
Women's Champion Sable versus Tori There is not much to say here. A short match, typical of women's matches.
European Champion Shane McMahon versus X-Pac Although Shane McMahon is not a wrestler by trade, this was actually a pretty good match, though it was marred by interference which led to yet another lame ending.
The Big Bossman versus the Undertaker (Hell in a Cell Match) A pretty dull match as far as Hell in a Cell matches go, though it was one of the better matches of this event. It is better known for the infamous ending which featured the Big Bossman hung from the top of the cell.
WWF Champion the Rock versus Steve Austin This was a decent main event and probably the best match on the card, but it was definitely the worst of the three Rock/Austin matches are Wrestlemania. The match dragged in the middle and only picked up in the last couple minutes.
All in all, this was a very disappointing Wrestlemania. It featured a decent card but way too many cheap disqualification/interference endings and the rest of the matches were either thrown together too quickly or were way too short. The main event was average, as far as Wrestlemania main events go. There really is no reason to buy this DVD as there is not even one outstanding match.
