WrestleMania 21

1. Rey Mysterio defeated Eddie Guerrero by pinfall

Well, you know you're in for a good night when this is your opener. Great stuff from these two and possibly the best match of this storyline.

Rating: 4 (out of 5)

2. Edge defeated Chris Benoit, Christian, Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, and Kane in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match

This was non-stop goodness. Shelton turned in a star-making performance and Edge walked out the cowardly but victorious heel. It's just too bad they didn't know what to do with Shelton after this.

Rating: 4.75

3. Undertaker defeated Randy Orton by pinfall

Since the whole streak thing began, there have been very few times where I thought there was a shot it might end. This was one of them. This was one of Orton's better matches at the time and he showed he could be a worthwhile heel.

Rating: 3.5

4. Trish Stratus defeated Christy Hemme by pinfall

Well, the awesome streak ends here. There was a lot of talk of Christy winning here, but the WWE did the right thing.

Rating: .75

5. Kurt Angle defeated Shawn Michaels by submission

***Match Of The Night***

A dream match in every way possible, these two did not let us down on the biggest stage of the year. Does Shawn know how to have a bad match? I can't remember the last bad pay-per-view showing he had?

Rating: 5

6. Akebono defeated Big Show in a Sumo Match

This is where the show gets a little questionable. Why couldn't they have done this at Judgment Day or something?

Rating: N/R

7. John Cena defeated JBL by pinfall to win the WWE Championship

If you didn't know this was a title match, it'd be hard to prove that it was. This was booked like a house show match, which is a shame because this should have been a big moment.

Rating: 1.75

8. Batista defeated Triple H by pinfall to win the World Heavyweight Championship

A lot of people tend to like this match and I don't see it. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but it certainly isn't main event worthy. I only have this .25 higher than Triple H/Orton at WrestleMania 25 and people won't stop complaining about that one.

Rating: 2.25

Well, the first half is unbelievable, containing three of my favorite WrestleMania matches ever. I'm not a huge Batista fan and I'm somewhere in the middle when it comes to Cena, so those WrestleMania moments didn't mean as much to me as they did to some people, but the matches were nothing special. Still, there is no doubt that when you have one of the greatest matches ever and one of the best ladder matches ever on the same card that you have a special evening. WrestleMania 21 is without question among the best shows I have seen.
