The first Wrestlemania after the brand split...
Wrestlemania XIX
March 30th, 2003
54,097
Safeco Field
Seattle, Washington
1) Opening featuring Ashanti
Score: 3/5
Comment: Actually had to watch the Ashanti part online, as it was edited out of the DVD.
2) WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match - Matt Hardy (c) W/ Shannon Moore VS. Rey Mysterio
Score: 3/5
Comment: My favorite version of Matt Hardy.
3) 2-On-1 Handicap Match: The Undertaker VS. A-Train & Big Show
Score: 2/5
Comment: Definetly not a Wrestlemania caliber match, more suited for an editon of Smackdown! or something.
4) Miller Light Catfight Girls, Stacy Kiebler, & Torrie Wilson Backstage Seg/Heat Flashback
Score: 2/5
Comment: The Miller Catfight Girls tainted this whole pay-per-view IMO.
5) WWE Women's Championship Match: Trish Stratus VS. Jazz VS. Victoria (c) W/ Steven Richards
Score: 3/5
Comment: The women worked their butts off in this match.
6) The Rock Promo
Score: 5/5
Comment: Great, as usual.
7) WWE Tag Team Championship - Triple Threat Match: Los Guerreros VS. Chris Benoit & Rhyno VS. Team Angle
Score: 3/5
Comment: At least back then they were trying to have a solid tag team division.
8) Miller Light Catfight Girls, Stacy Kiebler, & Torrie Wilson Backstage Seg/ Chris Jericho & Shawn Michaels History Video
Score: 3/5
Comment: The "tainting" of the Miller Cat Fight Girls continues, the video was decent though.
9) Chris Jericho VS. Shawn Michaels
Score: 5/5
Comment: Fantastical, since Wrestlemania 10 I have not given an HBK match less then 4 (that's out of 5 matches.)
10) Limp Bizkit Performance
Score: 3/5
Comment: Not complete crap, would have been better if Wes Borland had still been with the band at the time.
11) Pillow Fight Match W/ Special Referee Jonathan Coachman: Miller Light Catfight Girls VS. Torrie Wilson & Stacy Kiebler
Score: 1/5
Comment: Did we really need this on the pay-per-view, the Miller Light Catfight girls weren't even that hot.
12) Triple H/Booker T History Video
Score: 3/5
Comment: Seemed the buildup to this match wasn't given enough time.
13) World Championship Match: Triple H (c) W/ Ric Flair VS. Booker T
Score: 4/5
Comment: Loved the Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler commentary during this one, classic.
14) WWE Merchandise Ad/ Mr. McMahon & Hulk Hogan History Video
Score: 4/5
Comment: The ad causes the 4 out of 5, because the video was fantastic and would have earned a 5 on it's own.
15) Street Fight Match: Hulk Hogan VS. Mr. McMahon
Score: 5/5
Comment: Pretty stinkin good for 2 senior citizens. : - )
16) Steve Austin/The Rock History Video
Score: 4/5
Comment: I think it would have been cool, at a later Mania, to see a Triple Threat with these 2 and Hulk Hogan.
17) The Rock VS. Steve Austin
Score: 4/5
Comment: Sadly, Steven Austin's last Wrestlemania.
18) Kurt Angle/Brock Lesnar History Video
Score: 3/5
Comment: Not interesting enough.
19) WWE Championship Match: Kurt Angle (c) VS. Brock Lesnar
Score: 4/5
Comment: Probably would've gotten a 5 had Lesnar hit the shooting star press, and he would have hit if he would have went to the closer corner.
20) Highlight Video
Score: 4/5
Comment: I honestly liked the song Crack Addict by Limp Bizkit.
21) Commentary
Score: 3/5
Comment: Michael Cole is Michael Cole, and Tazz was still really green at the time.
22) Intangibles
Score: 2/5
Comment: Earns a 2 for it being Austin's last match and for McMahon/Hogan, but other then that it's not that memorable.
