WrestleMania XIX

1. Matt Hardy defeated Rey Mysterio by pinfall

I seem to be in the minority, but I loved this match. I really enjoy these fast paced matches, even if they are too short. It's also no secret that Matt Hardy version 1.0 is one of my favorite gimmicks ever.

Rating: 3.5

2. Undertaker defeated A-Train + Big Show by pinfall

This is one of the dumbest matches in Undertaker's winning streak. I'm sorry, but there is no reason he should have beat two men, especially when one of them is former world champ Big Show.

Rating: 1

3. Trish Stratus defeated Victoria and Jazz by pinfall to win the Women's Championship

This was actually a very solid match. The crowd was digging it and so did I. Far from classic, but fun.

Rating: 2

4. Team Angle defeated Los Guerreros and Chris Benoit + Rhyno by pinfall

This should have probably been better, but it was still an entertaining bout. Team Angle was just in the beginning of their career and not quite there yet. The crowd was really behind Rhyno, not sure why that stopped.

Rating: 3

5. Shawn Michaels defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

My two favorite performers facing off at the biggest stage in a classic. This is great stuff and Jericho was just tremendous as a heel here. They stole the show in my book.

Rating: 4.5

6. Triple H defeated Booker T by pinfall

Booker should have probably gone over as he was at the peak of his popularity here. These two delivered a solid match, especially when compared to their SummerSlam 2007 dud.

Rating: 3

7. Hulk Hogan defeated Vince McMahon by pinfall

This was better than expected, but also pretty predictable. Vince has a knack for making matches better than they are with his over the top heelness and Hogan, well he will always suck.

Rating: 2.25

8. Rock defeated Steve Austin by pinfall

This was the third match in their WrestleMania trilogy and a pretty darn good way to end their series. Rock finally got the win over Austin, but it took multiple Rock Bottoms in order to do so. This was great stuff.

Rating: 4

9. Brock Lesnar defeated Kurt Angle by pinfall to win the WWE Championship

This is mostly remembered as the match where Lesnar almost killed himself, but it was also a darn good match. I don't like it quite as much as a lot of people do, but it was a great ending to a classic show.

Rating: 3.75

There are days where I consider this to be my favorite show of all time. At the end of the day this is probably just one notch behind WrestleMania X-Seven. With 6 of the 9 matches being at 3 or higher, you can't go wrong with this one. Every wrestling fan should see this show.
