5.0 out of 5 stars
Best wrestling event ever!!!, 11 Nov 2003
Matches:WWF title match - The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - Amazing. The best match these two have ever had. A modern day classic that has to been seen. 10/10 Undertaker vs. HHH - If these two wrestled today it would be a 1/10 match but this is when HHH was good. The battle into the crowd is extremely entertaining. 6/10 Gimmick Battle Royale - Awful wrestling but highly enjoyable. Also hearing Bobby Hennan back on commentary makes this match a blast from the past. 2/10 (but still entertaining) TLC 2 for the WWF World tag titles - The Dudley Boyz v. Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz - I thought it couldn't be any better than the first TLC match but I was wrong. All six men put their bodies on the line in one of the best gimmick matches of all time. 10/10 Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon - The start of the WWF/WCW/ECW fued that took place for most of 2001. Great drama and some great big spots such as the first Van Terminator seen in the WWF and Shanes typical hardcore antics. This was back in the days when the McMahons were still entertaining and the wrestling world were looking forward to the up coming WWF/WCW war. Great match from two non-wrestlers. 7/10 Women’s title match - Ivory vs. Chyna - Shame this match had to happen as its the only thing that spoils the show. Its hard to see why Chyna was such a popular wrestler. 0/10 Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - There was little build up to this match but it didn't matter. Amazing technical wrestling. 8/10 European title match: Test vs. Eddy Guerrero - Guerrero makes Test look great in a match that was much better than I thought it would be. 6/10 Hardcore title - Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane - A highly entertaining hardcore match that takes place all around the arena. Best moment of the match is when Kane runs Raven and Big Show over in a golf cart. 6/10 The Right to Censor vs. Tazz & The APA - This match didn't really fit into the PPV. Luckily its a short match. 2/10. Intercontinental title - Chris Jericho vs. William Regal - A good way to start the show. Good wrestling but nothing too special. 6/10 The best wrestling event I have ever seen. It has great WWF style wrestling, amazing technical wrestling and breath taking hardcore action. It has drama and entertainment. Its all you could ask for in a wrestling event and includes two of the greatest matches ever. A must buy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic!, 30 Oct 2002
WrestleMania X-Seven is by far the greatest wrestling extravangza I have ever witnessed. The WWE superstars put on their best performances, and the atmosphere felt cannot be described with words. All the matches are top class, highlighted by TLC II and Steve Austin and The Rock's brutal, classic confrontation. The DVD version is recorded in the original NTSC version, so it cannot be put into a PS2. The only flaw with the two disc set is that the extras are pretty much a waste of time, as most are already included in the PPV itself. Having said that, the matches are the best ever. The DVD version adds quality, meaning even more excitement for the viewer. The ending is spectacular, with Stone Cold joining forces with his arch-rival and nemesis, Vince McMahon to beat WWE Champion The Rock to a pulp. This main event has the most hype any wrestling match has had. The TLC II match is superior to all expectations, with some great, hardcore sections. Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit battle in a gruelling, classic match to determine the greatest technical wrestler in World Wrestling Entertainment. Chyna returns from a broken neck, colliding with Womens' Champion Ivory, in the only disappointing match of the night. Triple H and The Undertaker fight in the greatest non-title match I can remember. The Deadman takes risks that you would never expect him to. Several stars, such as The Bushwackers, Sgt. Slaughter and more collide in the epic "Gimmick Battle Royal" - a must see for any wrestling fan, with old-timers squaring off at 'Mania. Shane and Vince McMahon battle in a classic bout that has a plot better than a Dickens novel. There are so many great points in this match. I could go on and on and on... Overall, the extras on this DVD are disappointing, but it is bursting at the seams with so many surprises that you won't even care. An essential purchase for any wrestling fan and a great introduction to the world of WWE for a person who dislikes wrestling. It's the greatest event EVER, so buy it, now!

Wrestlemania X-Seven, 27 Oct 2006
Wrestlemania X-Seven - Houston, we have a problem...
What a fantastic Wrestlemania this is, definitely the best WWE/F PPV ever made! Eleven matches, six titles, all combine to make one phenomenal night. Every WWE/F fan should buy this DVD!!
1. WWF Intercontinental Title: William Regal vs Chris Jericho (c)
A very good opening match which really got the crowd warmed up. Regal dominated for most of the match, but Jericho proved he is fantastic by overcoming the odds and retaining his title. Solid, back-and-forth match which is worth checking out. 7/10
2. 6-Man Tag Match: Tazz & The APA vs The Right To Censor
This match was fast-paced and entertaining and all, but it never seemed to fit into the PPV. Faarooq didn't get to wrestle much, nor did anyone particularly except Bradshaw who cleaned house after getting the tag. Short and sweet match, but could have been longer. It wasn't the worst match of the night, though. 6/10
3. WWF Hardcore Title: Raven (c) vs Kane vs Big Show
I don't think any good part of the match took place in the ring! What a Hardcore Match this is, and so early on in the card. These three men fight through the crowd, backstage and eventually on the Wrestlemania X-Seven stage. This match proved why WWF Hardcore action is fun to watch. The ending is also fantastic! 9/10
4. WWF European Title: Eddie Guerrero vs Test (c)
Although it had a pretty lame storyline, it was an enjoyable match. Test is the fan-favorite in this match as well! Very surprised at that because this is the only match I've seen where he isn't a heel. These two superstars impressed me in this contest - but the crowd seemed bored, although I could be wrong. Why should they be bored when you have such great matches on the card? 7/10
5. Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit
Two outstanding competitors in a very physical, technical, mat-based encounter. This is regarded as Match 10 in Wrestlemania's 10 Greatest Matches (on Wrestlemania XX DVD) and I'm not surprised why. These two awesome superstars prove why they deserve to be WWF Champion. Very entertaining and unpredictable, but the ending spoils the match slightly. 9/10
6. WWF Women's Title: Ivory (c) vs Chyna
A squash match! This was in my opinion, the worst match on the card but it was still fun to watch Chyna completely dismantle Ivory. Chyna executes three powerful moves and easily gets the pinfall. No more I can say, really. 6/10
7. Street Fight: Shane McMahon vs Vince McMahon
Talk about one odd family! This match was so entertaining you could cut it with a knife! In order: both men fight for a bit; Shane attempts a GARGANTUAN elbow drop off the turnbuckle onto the announce table but misses! Trish Stratus comes out with Linda McMahon in her wheelchair; Trish tries to help Vince but slaps him and gets into a catfight with Stephanie McMahon. Vince takes out Mick Foley (the referee in the match) with a chair; drags Linda to the ring while he beats up Shane with Trashcans. Then, Linda rises from the corner and nails Vince in the groin!! Shane then gets a Trashcan and hits a superb Missile Dropkick on Vince for the win! Super match. 9/10
8. WWF Tag Team Titles TLC II Match: Edge & Christian vs The Hardy Boyz vs The Dudley Boyz (c)
My absolute favorite Wrestlemania match of all time! There is no contest which could match the standards of this brilliant encounter! Everyone is a victim, including Spike Dudley, Rhyno and Lita who try and help their respective teams. Starts as a free-for-all, then it gets ugly pretty quick. You can tell from the title that it truly gives Wrestlemania it's name. It proves that Wrestlemania is global. A.W.E.S.O.M.E!! 11/10
9. The Invitational Legends' Gimmick Battle Royal
Overall, sloppy wrestling but very entertaining and quick. This match included superstars such as: Hillbilly Jim, Michael Hayes, Earthquake, One Man Gang, The Bushwhackers, Nikolai Volkoff and even The Gobbeldy Gooker! My pick (Kamala) did not manage to win unfortunately *sniff*. But it was good to see the Golden Oldies again and especially to hear Mene Gene Okurland and Bobby Heenan on commentary. 8/10
10. Triple H vs Undertaker
A slugfest of a match! This gave Wrestlemania X-Seven another good reason to watch. Both The Game and The Phenom give it their all in this spectacular contest. The ref gets knocked out for about ten minutes, which means only one thing: no rules! Taker wins after a superb finishing move. 9/10
11. WWF Title: Steve Austin vs The Rock (c)
As a treat, the match was made No DQ right at the last minute! This match was simply amazing for a Wrestlemania main event and it proved why Wrestlemania X-Seven is the greatest PPV of all time. It was very enjoyable, very unpredictable and it had a breathtaking ending which no-one would expect. Tremendous match which will be remembered for years to come. 10/10
