WrestleMania 24 was at Citrus Bowl in Orlando Florida now the arena was awesome it was out doors watch just made it so great during matches you notice it get from light to dark which just adds a more awesome effect.
The matches on the DVD are better then what previous WrestleMania's had on offer such as been disappointed with at Mania's like 23 and 22. This one just has better quality matches and some which were just OK.
Now lets get on with the matches.
Belfast Brawl
Finlay vs. JBL
This was a good way to start of an event like WrestleMania I found it enjoyable both Finlay and JBL are good wrestlers. Trash Cans and such are used in the match which makes it better to me as I like Hardcore wrestling. As for the winner of the match I was happy. (7/10)
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. John Morrison vs. Carlito vs. CM Punk vs. MVP vs. Mr Kennedy
This was such a good match not the best WrestleMania 21 still has the best Money in the Bank Ladder match in my opinion. Shelton Benjamin offers some great movies during the match as well as Jericho and CM Punk. I was impressed with John Morrison doing a moonsalt from the top with a ladder hitting the rest of the opponents this is one thing Morrison is great at Ladder Matches. This is highly enjoyable to any wrestling fan. (9/10)
Battle for Brand Supremacy
Batista vs. Umaga
As for this match I did not like it William Regal says Umanga when it is Umaga thats not whats bad about it though. It just offers the same stuff Batista delivers I don't mind Batista or even Umaga but I think Umaga should of at least got the win this year. (5/10)
ECW Championship Match
Chavo Guerrero (Champion) vs. Kane
A very short match lasts or 8 to 12 seconds a chokeslam to Chavo and thats it he is out this type of match is just not the place for WrestleMania and it also feels pointless Joey Styles and Tazz doing Commentary on the match. (1/10)
Career Threatening Match
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
If you want a classic match with 2 great wrestlers then this is one Ric Flair VS Shawn Michaels. I have to admit I am not a fan of Ric Flair I never have been but he does offer a good match and yes it was sad the ending. (8/10)
Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjack Match
Maria & Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina
I did not even watch this match because Snoop Dogg was featured in it and it features divas I don't care about.
WWE Championship Triple Threat Match
Randy Orton (Champion) vs. John Cena vs. Triple H
John Cena has headlined the last 2 WrestleMania's and finally Randy Orton headlines it been the Champion I like Triple H and Orton and dislike Cena but this match was good but it just finishes in my mind with a cheap shot but still happy that Orton came out on top because he should of. I had to also say that Cena did do well in the match and did offer some different moves. (8.5/10)
The Biggest vs. The Best
Big Show vs. Floyd "Money" Mayweather
We all knew who was going to win this match Floyd Mayweather I wanted Big Show to win and was this match fair no it was not. Floyd could not beat big show with his hands he had to use Brass Knucks which to me thats a cheap shot. Big Show does well during the match and overall it was good. I just wish I was at WrestleMania as when Mayweather was coming to the ring money was coming down. (7/10)
World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (Champion) vs. The Undertaker
To me this was match of the night not only did Edge prove he was worthy of been in the main event but he also showed how good he could compete with The Undertaker. Edge gets out of many of Undertaker's moves and Undertaker shows shows his best side during the match. Overall this is exciting and it does not even matter if you hate Edge or Undertaker you got to respect the effort of these 2 wrestlers during the match. The promo before the match started was just good which no other wrestling company can make promos better then WWE it really gets you into look forward to the match. The Undertaker is now 16-0 we knew he would win. (9.5/10)
The DVD also features 2 extras yeah only 2 I would not class them as extras really maybe if it showed some backstage footage, even promos, interviews with the winners and no none of that is here on this 3 disc set.
The hall of fame is OK it's not something I am interested in but The Rock's speech is worth watching it was funny and what Rock said to John Cena yeah he got what was coming to him. Ric Flair also tells us about many moments.
As for what else is included is the 24 man other the top Battle Royle for a match for the ECW Championship this match was featured on wwe.com which was good I won't go into detail with that because you know Kane got the ECW Championship title match on WrestleMania.
So the Disc set up this year has changed on Disc 1 has WrestleMania 24 which ends off after the WWE Championship match. It continues on Disc 2 with Mayweather VS Big Show and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. After WrestleMania ends on Disc 2 comes the first part of the WWE Hall of Fame 2008. On Disc 3 is the final part of Hall of Fame 2008 with the 24-man Battle Royle. This is WrestleMania which without any good extras it really makes the DVD feel rushed and that WWE put no effort in at all they really do need to put more extras in the releases. This DVD is a must buy and as I said it is a whole lot better then WrestleMania 22 and 23 for WWE collectors this a must have in your collection.
9/10
