Moments - Positives

This was certainly a Wrestlemania to remember and I think it has to be one of my favourites. Classic moments include Austin turning heel and destroying the Rock with the help of Vince McMahon, a classic street fight between Shane and Vince days after Shane announces himself as the owner of WCW, a brilliant TLC 2 match up between the three tag teams, a classic encounter between Angle and Benoit in a no thrill single match and a brilliantly worked match between Triple H and The Undertaker where Taker continues his unbeaten streak. Lots of moments to remember.

Moments - Negatives

The Right To Censor tag team match was pretty weak and the classic battle royal didnt quite live up to expectations. I was disappointed (though I didnt expect much) with the IC title match as I always believed Test was a weak wrestler.

Overall

This was a great Wrestlemania on the heels of probably the best start to a year the WWF ever had. Three PPVs in a row where the show delivered and I have to say I enjoyed this one. The Austin/Rock match was miles better than the same match at Wrestlemania 15 and Austin turning heel at the PPV will always be something that stands out as a great Mania moment. A classic show.

SCORE = 10.0
