WrestleMania XV

1. Hardcore Holly defeated Billy Gunn and Al Snow by pinfall to win the Hardcore Championship

This was actually better than I remembered. All three guys gave a good effort and it was an okay way to start off the show.

Rating: 2.5

2. Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett defeated Test and D-Lo Brown by pinfall

This was one of Vince Russo's great ideas. Let's have two guys win a battle royal and tag with one another at the biggest show of the year. Yeah, but no thanks.

Rating: 1.25

3. Butterbean defeated Bart Gunn by knockout

And there goes Bart Gunn's career...

Rating: N/R (Boxing Match)

4. Mankind defeated Big Show by disqualification

This was more of a storyline than a match, but not bad for what it was.

Rating: 1.75

5. Road Dogg defeated Goldust, Val Venis, and Ken Shamrock by pinfall

This was just an okay Raw-type match. Road Dogg sucks.

Rating: 1.75

6. Kane defeated Triple H by disqualification

This was a total snoozefest. Triple H was really getting in a groove around this time, but you would never know it from watching this match.

Rating: .75

7. Sable defeated Torrie by pinfall

Absolutely horrible.

Rating: 0

8. Shane McMahon defeated X-Pac by pinfall

This was a real good match. Both guys kept up a quick pace and it paid off.

Rating: 3.5

9. Undertaker defeated Big Boss Man by pinfall

Among the worst matches in WrestleMania history. Who really thought that the Boss Man would stand a chance. Poor booking choice.

Rating: 0

10. Steve Austin defeated The Rock by pinfall

***Match of the Night***

Another great Steve Austin brawl. It helped that The Rock was his opponent and these two tore it up. Good end to the show.

Rating: 4

Well, this show contains a great main event and one good match. Unfortunately, it also contains two of the worst matches I've ever seen. All of the rest is just pretty average.

Overall Rating: 58%
