Wow only six of those are full time wrestlers if RVD is a full time wrestler. Still an very underrated Wrestlemania. This and 24 are probably the most underrated Wrestlemania's ever.

I really liked WM22. One of my favourites probably.

Trish/Mickie is my favorite divas/(WWE) women's match ever, even with the botch at the end.
Remember thinking Cena/HHH was boring the first time around, but I think it's pretty good now.

I was there and the atmosphere inside the Allstate Arena was awesome. Cena hate was HIGH that night.

I will go against the consensus, this is one of my least favorite Wrestlemanias to watch.

I thought the HHH/Cena match was a damn good main event. The crowd was hot and really thought HHH would go over. A smark crowding cheering HHH in the name of ending SuperCena was special.

A lot of things in this PPV just didn't do it for me. Triple threat's too short, its Taker's weakest match in his 21-29 run, as fun as the garbage match with McMahon is Shawn still feels wasted, and even the MITB isn't much to write home about.

It's a very solid WrestleMania, but I think they should have ditched Boogeyman/Booker T and given that time to the World Title match. With the hype video and entrances, that'd add another eight minutes or so to that match, which it desperately needed.

I feel like this Mania is stronger as a whole than when looking at the individual parts. It's really easy to sit through, and nothing seems to overstay it's welcome.

While it isn't my favorite Mania, I think that, with time and the eventual nostalgia that comes with it, will be much kinder to this show than the recent stretch of WMs we've had (25 through 29).

This is the first Wrestlemania I had a chance to see in person, although I could have gone to others, but they tend to be WAY too far away most times.
I almost didn't go. During 21 and 22...Christian left, Eddie died and Batista was injured. So going in, I was worried if it would be as good as 21.
Well...it wasn't. BUT, it was still a good show to go to. The crowd was absolutely hot and most of the matches were pretty damn good. I didn't care for the build up to the triple threat, and I would have dropped the pillow fight. But this was the last "true" Mania we got, before it became more about being a spectacle to cram as much shit in as possible, instead of building up a great wrestling event. In the recent years, I have only truly enjoyed Wrestlemania 26 and the rest felt like convoluted crap.
The main event result REALLY pissed a lot of people off there.

Although (or maybe because?) they had to rush the triple threat, it entertained the hell out of me. Fast and furious work by all involved.

One the best things about WM 22 is the look on the crowd's face after Cean won.

Just rewatched this for the first time since it was live. My first thought is at this time they had their most stacked roster of hot diva's. Trish, Lita, Mickie, Torrie, Candice, Maria etc. oh my.
It's also odd how they didn't just cast Cena off as a failed experiment way back then when he was getting booed out of the arena to the biggest modern day heel.

I remember the buildup to this was mostly horrendous. However, because of the low expectations, this 'Mania actually hit it out of the park!
The DVD has to be in everyone's collection. If you loved the PPV, then you'd love the extras! Hall of Fame? Saturday Night's Main Event? Yep, I'm in!

I watched this on DVD not too long ago and all in all I really liked it. Unfortunately the Trish/Mickie match was censored.
That Edge/Foley hardcore match was pretty brutal. Barbed wire stuffed in a woman's mouth? WWE sure has changed in those few years.

This is certainly one of my favourite Wrestlemanias. I have great memories of avoiding spoilers all day during school so I could come home and watch the replay later that day on Main Event. I do remember kinda giving in to temptation and checking out the WWE site to witness a photo of Edge spearing Foley through a flaming table.
This got me even more hyped for the show.
I thought it lived up to expectations. Opener was fine. Ladder match was great fun to watch. I enjoyed the US Title match more than most did. Edge and Foley was an incredible spectacle and a worthy Wrestlemania-moment for Foley. Booker and Boogey was garbage. The women's title match was one of the best in years and it's a shame with the botch at the end. I didn't care about the Taker & Henry match. Vince and Shawn was also a garbage match but a much better one than Booker & Boogey - I really enjoyed this beatdown of Vince. World Title was short but really exciting to watch. Pillow fight was what it was. Main event was great due to the crowd reaction for Cena; Haven't heard a 'F*** you Cena' chant since.
This show <3
