I'm going to see if I can find it cheap on Blu Ray this week. I don't own it, and I should. It's so visually awesome, that it's probably the only wrestling dvd I would ever really care about getting the Blu Ray format for.
I'd like to give it another watch before this years Mania, since I love watching the other Wrestlemanias every year before the new one.

anybody like mania 22? i think it was one of the best ever, tho its impossible to beat wm X-7
Foley vs Edge was insane & violent and we finally got to see a table on fire in wwe
Cena vs HHH was so good cos the crowd never shut up once, they could have stood in the ring facing off for 20 mins and the crowd woulda eaten it up. the FUCK YOU CENA chant was so loud
HBK vs Vince was awesome too

I didn't actually get to watch it, but caught a lot of it on youtube and thought it was pretty good, especially the chant...

It was an entertaining show for being so poorly built but I don't think it has much lasting value. The only match I would go back and watch again is Cena/HHH and that would be because of the crowd. I think WM 22 is a prime example a crowd drastically improving a show.

Absolutely but i think those three matches were very good too, a really hot crowd can make a poor show look 5 star and i dont mind that one bit.
Kinda unrelated but that piped in fake crowd noise they do on smackdown (in ireland anyway) is absolutely disgusting, its beyond fake and it sounds like 35 women shouting 'owwww' it'd be much better to hear utter silence than that piss

Wrestlemanias today aren't the same as Wrestlemanias long ago. Up until about 1997-1998 (Wrestlemania 13-14), the show was pretty much just about building up the biggest main event possible and then filling out the card with matches between mid card and main event guys that rarely wrestled each other (on TV) because the television programming was filled with squash matches.

Once 97-98 hit, Raw stopped being about squash matches and mid card and main event guys started to wrestle each other on a weekly basis. Thus, the Manias began to feature bigger and, more important, matches throughout the entire card.

Could be a reason why many of 'newer' fans, on and off this board, think the first 12-15 Wrestlemanias don't stand up to the ones from the Attitude Era through today.

redoneja is definitely right on that. I think "era" has to factored into alot of stuff in wrestling. But honestly, I started watching wrestling religiously in 97/98 and I remember being more excited for WM 14 (Austin vs HBK) simply for the main event than many of the Mania's from this decade. I guess being a mark played a big part in that but I can see people being really excited for The Ultimate Challenge or Hogan/Slaughter despite the undercard being shit.

Wrestlemania 15 stands out to me as a really unique Wrestlemania, since it was at the height of the attitude era.
It came after those Wrestlemanias redonjea talks about, but before the modern day ones with stacked cards.

It didn't really have any big or great matches aside from the main event, but the card was all about advancing storylines.
You had the second biggest match on the card dedicated solely to who would referee the main event, and within it featured a face turn for Big Show.

The hell in a cell was done purely to advance and highlight the up and coming Ministry angle. The match was a huge dud, but it was definitely all about the Vince/Taker storyline.

You also had a HHH/Kane match that existed solely to make it seem as though Chyna had rejoined DX, only for HHH to turn heel later in the night. Kane also turned face.

So on the biggest show of the year, you had a huge main event, but aside from that it was like the year's biggest Raw or something. None of the other matchups were huge, or a long time coming, and none of them were particularly heavy on wrestling.
But you had two face turns, two heel turns, a public lynching, and the split of the biggest stable in the WWF.

It actually seems like a lot to do, but it came off well. It's a great example of Russo stuff being good when filtered by Vince.

That is a good plan.

Except for the part while you lay back while eating.

That's not really good for you.
