I tried to vote on the Christian/Del Rio match a few weeks ago, and it said Del Rio had 100% of the vote.

Uh, can't say I recall that attire... The mental image you have instilled will forever be burned into my mind. "It's not that he's ugly, he's just...RATTY!"

This match opens the show, Christian wins, Sandow cashes in.
Three matches later we get Cody vs. Sandow, now for the World Title.

Wrestlemania 22 April 2, 2006 Allstate Arena Rosemont, Illinois
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22. The last Wrestlemania to date to not be held in a stadium, a hot Rosemont crowd welcomes the show of shows all the way back in 2006. Raw begins its gradual rise above SmackDown, with Edge scorching his path to the main event picture. A hungry John Cena looks to prove his worth against the mighty Triple H, and Shawn Michaels seeks vengeance against the McMahon family. The blue brand is reeling following Batista’s injury and Eddie Guerrero’s tragic passing, but still has some hot contests. The Undertaker seeks a 14-0 Wrestlemania record and the satisfaction of putting Mark Henry in a casket, and Rey Mysterio looks to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.
Tag Team Match for the World Tag Team Championships The Big Show & Kane © vs. Carlito & Chris Masters For a relatively small venue (compared to the next seven years’), the stage gives off a great big-time feel. The superstar and diva banners around the nosebleeds add to the larger-than-life Wrestlemania experience. WWE really screwed the pooch with Carlito. This guy was a great character and he could work. Chris Masters is another guy that could have done SOMETHING more than be ‘there,’ especially in early-2011 when he really improved. Sucks to see what could have been. I loved the pairing of Kane and Big Show, but their downfall was something ugly. Why the Spirit Squad held the belts for seven months is beyond me. We also got the whole “May 19th” angle out of their separation; that could’ve done something for Kane’s career. Turn him heel instead of Show, the false Kane reminds the current Kane how much of a monster he was, rejuvenated monster Kane comes out of it. You know it’s Wrestlemania when Kane breaks out the leapfrog and a dropkick. Masters takes some of the loudest Show chops to the chest I’ve heard. “Car-li-to” chants echo in the arena as he goes apple-first onto the ropes. It really always looks awkward when Kane goes off the top. Big Show goes headfirst into the exposed turnbuckle, then takes an ugly double flapjack from the challengers. The Chicago (or Rosemont, same difference) crowd is hot early, surprise surprise. Masters reverses another awkward highflying Kane maneuver into the Masterlock. Big Show breaks it up by kicking both Masters and Kane. The match is breaking down as everyone’s scrambling to hit their finishers. Masters accidentally nails his partner off the top, setting him up for a chokeslam to Hell for the victory. Call me crazy, but I like this match. A tad short, but it wasn’t a bad way to start Wrestlemania. Big Show & Kane defeat Carlito & Chris Masters to RETAIN the World Tag Team Championships (6 out of 10)
Money in the Bank Ladder Match Bobby Lashley vs. Finlay vs. Matt Hardy vs. Ric Flair vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Shelton Benjamin Just going from personal memory, I considered this the worst of the Wrestlemania MiTB matches. Maybe after watching it again, my feelings will change. Poor Matt Hardy; the guy deserved SOMETHING after he came back white-hot the summer prior, but he got the short end of the stick. I used to have an idea that Shelton Benjamin could’ve been WWE Champion in late-2008, but that would’ve taken a lot of work to make him look credible. He could wrestle, no doubt, but I think he’d need a mouthpiece or something. I can’t say too much about Finlay but his credibility was slaughtered the moment he and Hornswoggle became a legitimate tag team. I pointed out a while back that RVD wore a similar singlet to tonights in his return this year; maybe lightning will strike twice (SPOILERS!)? Lashley never impressed me; not only was he in a crap feud with the McMahons but he took a title reign that CM Punk should’ve had (I’m a Punk mark by the way). Ric Flair shouldn’t be in this match; I feel this is just a last-ditch effort to put the guy on the card. The ladders come into play early as RVD flies into a ladder-wielding Hardy. Benjamin does his annual ladder senton; this year, however, it was not from the top of the ladder. The spot leaves the two old geezers left in the ring. This is short-lived, as Matt Hardy suplexes Flair from the top of the ladder! I seriously thought Flair did some damage to himself—that bump looked nasty. Serves him right for being in this match, I suppose. Why is there a steel chair in the corner already? Benjamin needs the help of Finlay and Hardy to nail the sunset flip off the ladder; “R-V-D” chants ensue. I do notice that Lawler’s commentary is actually tolerable, possibly because he’s been with JR for a while at this point. The crazy old man in the Speedo limps his way back into this match. We’re only a good blade away from this being a true Ric Flair bout. What was the reason behind his semi-push in late-’05—early ’06 anyway? Finlay clocks the guy with a shillelagh (somehow I spelled that properly on the first attempt) and he takes another bump off the ladder. I’m noticing the lack of RVD action here. Oh, the chair was there for RVD to hit the Van Daminator on the climbing Lashley. Moves like the Side Effect come off weird off the ladder. RVD capitalizes on the downed crowd by splashing (not even close to five-stars) Finlay as an E-C-dub chant arises from here in Phila…Chicago. I love each and every Shelton Benjamin springboard equally. Van Dam kicks Benjamin and Hardy off one ladder and retrieves the briefcase to win. This match was very good, don’t get me wrong, but I still think it’s at the bottom in terms of ‘Mania MiTB bouts (maybe WM 26’s was worse). Rob Van Dam WINS Money in the Bank (6.5 out of 10)
Singles Match for the WWE United States Championship Chris Benoit © vs. John “Bradshaw” Layfield JBL is going from the WWE Title match to the United States Title match at Wrestlemania in one year. The ramp lifting for vehicles to enter was an awesome touch and could’ve been used for future PPVs (not necessarily Wrestlemania anymore). Jillian looks like silicon from head to toe. Benoit always got a good pop (any more of my thoughts on him and I’ll ignite the whole discussion/argument/World War III on him). This match starts nice and quick with a lot of brawling elements. I feel like Benoit was never really the same, in and out of the ring, after Eddie died. Jericho said in his book Benoit was bawling, something he never did, at Eddie’s funeral, and that he didn’t seem himself in the time after. Benoit nails some impressive German suplexes on the doughy JBL. JBL does a very jiggly mockery of Eddie’s signature taunt. Bradshaw goes for the Three Amigos but Benoit breaks at two. Even in 2006, I can’t stand Michael Cole on commentary. I was watching a Val Venis shoot and he said in 1999, Cole thought he was better than JR would ever be. Benoit gets a hefty pop for a successful Three Amigos. Any time Benoit connects with the diving headbutt, it always looks like it takes more out of him than it does his opponent. The whole “clothesline reversed into crossface” finish was expected. Oh bravo! JBL rolls over in the crossface and uses the ropes to pin Benoit and capture the title! An underrated, short bout on a stacked card, you might want to re-watch this match again. I thoroughly enjoyed it. JBL defeats Chris Benoit to WIN the United States Championship (6.5 out of 10)
Hardcore Match Edge vs. Mick Foley I wish we did get Edge walking into Wrestlemania with the WWE Title, but I’m glad that this match took place. Edge’s one-off gear really fits the bill for the match. Joey Styles is putting over Edge’s 4-0 Wrestlemania record early. Edge turns Foley’s skull into cookie dough with some cookie tray shots. I loved the pairing of Edge and Lita, and I felt it really legitimized Edge as a mainstay in the main event. I guess Styles and King are calling this one; I would’ve much rather preferred Styles and JR. Foley wearing the barbed wire belt must’ve hurt like a mother, but was ingenious and cool nonetheless. The blood is coming right out the center of Edge’s sun tattoo. Lita gets involved, but Foley drops her, himself, and Edge over the top with the Cactus Clothesline. Foley’s got the steel step flip down to a T. Lita is perfect for this match because not only does she help Edge get heat, but she’s not afraid to take a bump. A sick laceration appears on Foley’s face after his beloved Barbie betrays him. Having extra weapons under the steps was pretty neat. I counted 28 thumbtacks in Edge’s back in one shot. Even the ref has an ugly look on his face. Wouldn’t wrapping him in barbed wire hurt Mr. Socko? Barbie claims another victim, as Edge gets rocked between the eyes. That bat has pints of blood on it. You could see Foley visibly shaking right before one of the greatest Wrestlemania finishes ever. Edge gets the win and is set in stone as a marquee wrestler. Phenomenal match, one of the best hardcore bouts I have ever seen, and in my mind, the match of the night. Edge defeats Mick Foley (8.5 out of 10)
Handicap Match The Boogeyman vs. Booker T & Sharmell And you’re trying to tell me SmackDown was superior to Raw at this time. Poor Booker deserves more than this, especially considering his World Title push in the coming months. Marty Wright really played the character to perfection. The arena is covered with red smoke; it’s distracting from this match (I don’t know if that’s good or bad). Insipid Tazz commentary is present throughout this match. The ring’s getting all ashy from Boogeyman’s back. It seems like Booker is going through the motions on this one (possibly because Boogey cleaned his clock with a nasty right hand). How does one wrestle with hundreds of worms in his pockets? The crowd lukewarm-ingly applauds as Boogeyman ends this one and stuffs more worms into Booker’s gullet. And that, ladies and gents, was the latest installment of, “Kill That Hot Crowd!” Boogeyman defeats Booker T & Sharmell (2.5 out of 10)
Singles Match for the WWE Women’s Championship Trish Stratus © vs. Mickie James This is Trish’s last Wrestlemania (not including the Snooki-filled WM 27 installment) and one of the better female ‘Mania contests. The Divas Title, despite being chosen over the Women’s Title, has yet to be defended at Wrestlemania. I always liked the psycho Mickie character. She was talented in the ring and her character was white hot. I would go so far as to say if WWE didn’t kick the bucket with the Divas division, Mickie could have been in discussion for the Hall of Fame after she retires. Mickie got a better reaction than Boogeyman. Trish starts this match off aggressively and hits a chop rivaling those of Ric Flair. The Chick Kick connects with the ring post and the challenger gains control. Ah, the Knee-D-T, what an underrated move. The crowd erupts with a “Let’s go Mickie” chant. In terms of psychotic Divas, a Mickie-AJ feud would be exciting. I would confidently say that Mickie plays the “crazy chick” better than AJ. Trish finds a way to headscissor Mickie from the ground. The crowd is booing the Trish comeback. Mickie kicks out of a fierce running powerbomb; the crowd is vocal again by the way. Mickie does what 17,000 in attendance wish to do and claws Trish with a grapefru…taco hold? She capitalizes with a Chick Kick to win. This was arguably the best female Wrestlemania match. The crowd was into it, there was great, hard-hitting action, and the right person won. Mickie James defeats Trish Stratus to WIN the WWE Women’s Championship (6.5 out of 10)
Casket Match Mark Henry vs. The Undertaker I love it anytime the druids make an appearance. I know they tried to make Henry look like a threat, but in 2006, it’s just not believable for him as a wrestler to beat Undertaker at ‘Mania (although from 2011 onwards, I can believe it). Also, him coming out to anything other than Three 6 Mafia doesn’t feel right. He wasn’t going 50 yards to the ring like nowadays, but ‘Taker’s theme still looped twice. Henry’s gone through his three moves—body check, stomp, and knee drop. Tazz can’t even keep up with Cole of all people on commentary. I hate these casket-pushing periods of the match; they’re very slow-paced and offer little action. “Henry sucks” chant are coming from the crowd. Mark hits the WSM but goes for a cover…in a casket match. They’re building up how ‘Taker hasn’t knocked Henry off his feet. If you somehow powerbomb the world’s strongest man, does that now make you the world’s strongest man? One tombstone later and Undertaker retains the undefeated streak. This was definitely one of the weaker matches on the card and in the Streak. Cole and Tazz’s commentary only furthered the lack of enjoyment while watching. Undertaker defeats Mark Henry (4.5 out of 10)
No Holds Barred Match Shawn Michaels vs. Vincent Kennedy McMahon The McMahon Family Prayer segment before this was absolute gold. Vince’s facial expressions in general are gold. Hell, the biased JR commentary is gold. “And Michaels with a stiff chop to the chest of McMahon; isn’t that just too damn bad.” Michaels hits McMahon over the head with the Muscle & Fitness magazine cover, and JR wants him to shove it up the corporate ass. Those damn Dudleys, err, cheerleaders, make their way in to protect their boss. Isn’t it funny that we got Dolph Ziggler vs. HBK in 2006 in this capacity, but never when Ziggler was “made?” Kenny goes ass-first on a missed leg drop and the Squad’s attack ends in vain. McMahon’s matches NEEDED to be no-disqualifications; he can’t legitimately wrestle, but he can fight and tell a story like no other. Michaels’ belt shots were brutal, even more so than McMahon’s. This is the last time I can remember Shane getting heat (I don’t count the 2007 McMahon/Lashley feud because no one really cared enough about it to boo Shane). A son willingly took his lips to his 60-year-old father’s tail for the sake of entertainment. Vince is busted following a ruthless chair shot; JR comments once again that it’s “just too damn bad.” The blood dripping off his head is forming a nasty puddle on the mat. Between that, Boogeyman’s ash and the blood from the hardcore match, the ring looks disgusting (also, TWO “no rules” matches on one card? What is this, ECW?). Shane’s expression to the ladder being pulled out is priceless. The “elbow drop from the 20-foot ladder onto the garbage can-wearing opponent who happens to be on a table” spot was really cool, and the DX crotch chops really sold the hatred Michaels had for Vince. A superkick that “knocked his teeth down his throat” and Michaels wins with the only cover of the match. This match told a great story and was really fun to watch. Arguably Vince’s best ‘Mania performance, Shawn Michaels once again puts on a clinic at Wrestlemania. Shawn Michaels defeats Vince McMahon (8 out of 10)
Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Kurt Angle © vs. Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio It’s strange to think this is Kurt’s last Wrestlemania to date. The “I Dare You” package before this was a perfect fit. P.O.D. gets zero reaction. Rey’s entrance, gear aside, was too long and lukewarm at best. On the other hand, Orton gets a great pop. Angle gets more of a reaction than both challengers combined, cheers and “You suck” chants, and gets some sweet pyro. This match starts off hot as Orton counters a Mysterio crossbody with a dropkick. Angle nails a German on Orton who flung Mysterio an extra foot with a German. The crowd is firmly behind the champion. Mysterio gets a series of jeers as he get in the action; the crowd’s mindset changes as Angle launches Mysterio up to Orton, ultimately hitting a top rope hurracarana. “Let’s go Angle” chants erupt, and Tazz has to remind us that the crowd is “a little on the weird side” tonight. Chicago turns a complete 180 when Angle reverses the 619 into the Angle Lock. This match has been hotter throughout than any other bout tonight. This audience really doesn’t want to see Mysterio win; any point in time where he gets offense in, they go dead and boo. Rey botches a 619; the capacity crowd accepts it with a “you f**ked up” chant. Does anyone really hate Chicago? Orton sells the 619 like a champ as Rey wins the belt to a surprisingly compassionate cheer. This match deserved some more time, dammit, but it was really good while it lasted. Rey Mysterio defeats Kurt Angle © & Randy Orton to WIN the World Heavyweight Championship (7 out of 10)
Playboy Pillow Fight Candice Michelle vs. Torrie Wilson The ring looks like what I’d imagine Heaven to resemble. Torrie used to use Michelle McCool’s theme? I didn’t know that. “Torrie, keep your dog. I want your cat,” a sign reads. Who’d have thought someone would bust out a suplex in this match? JR seems to have mellowed out to call this one. Both ladies are rightfully in their undergarments; I’d call it the highlight of this match. Torrie wins with a quick roll-up. Unfortunately, I have to be Mister Killjoy and rate this on its wrestling action, which was poor. I do think that I didn’t suffer while watching, however. Torrie Wilson defeats Candice Michelle (3 out of 10)
Singles Match for the WWE Championship John Cena © vs. Triple H What do you get when you put the two guys with the biggest strangleholds on Raw’s main title together? You get the main event of Wrestlemania, of course. The “low-rent, poor man’s Conan” makes his grand entrance in very regal fashion. Cena’s gangster entrance was only good because of CM Punk. Okay, jerky mark aside; I consider this the second-best of Cena’s special entrances (WM 25 was the best with the Cena lookalikes). Even in 2006, John comes out to a 50-50-split crowd. Trips gets a nice cheer for out-chain wrestling Cena. Stay classy Chicago, with your “F**k you Cena” chant. With this one-sided crowd you’d think Cena’s fighting CM Punk, Colt Cabana and Daniel Bryan in a four-way here. Conversely, I’ve never heard a smark crowd cheer for Triple H. JR seems somewhat uninterested in this main event; he even says that John Cena isn’t a bad wrestler. Chicago hates Cena I suppose; “you can’t wrestle” chants are erupting. The crowd is hot nevertheless. Trips takes a tumble to the outside (almost toppling a cameraman) after a strong Irish whip from Cena. The Game lands back-first onto the ramp; it doesn’t sound pretty. Right now Triple H is painting a pretty picture with his wrestling, overpowering the champion. One slobberknocker of a clothesline and the crowd gives the challenger a round of applause. Both men are down after Cena nails a strong desperation clothesline. The crowd is up in jeer as Cena attempts the Five Knuckle Shuffle, only for the King of Kings to get up and plant him with a spinebuster. Soon after, the champ hits a quick, makeshift Five Knuckle Shuffle and connects the STF(U). Triple H hits both Cena and the ref with a dastardly low blow. Cena’s skull greets the beloved sledgehammer; still, he kicks out at 2. Mike Chioda is selling his groin better than Cena is selling a sledgehammer right now. After a lengthy hold in the STF(U), Trips taps and Cena retains the WWE Title. This was a really good old-school style main event match. While it wasn’t the best match on the card, it surely held true to what a Wrestlemania main event should be. John Cena defeats Triple H to RETAIN the WWE Championship (7 out of 10)
Closing Thoughts Wrestlemania 22 wasn’t in front of 70,000 fans in a football stadium, but it surely felt like it. This event had some of the best Wrestlemania action. There were really hard-hitting and exciting matches, and every bout told a story very well. The crowd was hot throughout, something that even the Attitude Era crowd of Wrestlemania XV couldn’t attain. There were some underrated gems (Benoit/JBL, Cena/HHH) on the card, and it would’ve been a near-perfect Wrestlemania in terms of match quality had Undertaker fought someone different or Boogeyman/Booker was relegated to SmackDown. All in all, the aggregate total rating that Wrestlemania 22 earned was a 7.2 out of 10.

I've never seen SS 04 but did Triple H seriously have a 14 minute match against Eugene? the year after KURT ANGLE had a decent-lengthed match with Eugene.

Wrestlemania X-Seven wasn't nearly as good as everyone praises it for. The TLC match wasn't as good as its prequel or even the Triangle Ladder Match from the year before. The ending to the main event was one of the biggest disappointments in the event's history.

Daniel Bryan should win every title and beat everyone and beat Undertaker at Wrestlemania and bring back the Attitude Era and find the European Title in Shane's bag and win that too and then become president and conquer the world.
Bryan chasing the title wouldn't be as bad as it seems.

its a joke from newlegacyinc Really? I must have missed that one. If you've got the time. On-topic, thinking of the Undertaker matches in BOWM, they should showcase the best and most important Streak matches. vs. Diesel, vs. Kane (although it's essentially the same match as last year's game), vs. Orton, vs. Batista (if it's possible), vs. Edge, one of the vs. Michaels, and the HiAC last year should be the only bouts considered for the mode. Also, as long as Bret's in the game it's pretty safe to assume the dreaded Ironman match will be in the mode. I guess that'll be shortened to 15 minutes or whatever, Lord help us if we have to play that match for the entire hour.

The app is terrible. I think it should essentially be a mobile WWE.com but with exclusives, instead it's a watered-down WWE.com with pointless exclusives.

The only thing I'm slightly ticked about is the apparent lack of arenas. If the 39 arena slots are true, and we only get 10 non-Wrestlemania arenas, I'm going to be disappointed. How can they do a default Universe mode with monthly PPVs if there's only going to be eight PPV arenas (Raw and SmackDown are a given)? Also, it's going to be interesting with some of those Wrestlemania matches, since we got a few of the significant ones in last year's game. Who said only 39 arenas? I don't remember exactly who, but someone posted that a demo of the game that 2K showed people had 39 slots for arenas.

That looks awesome. And that means Hogan is in. I just hope it functions like Attitude Era mode, with main objectives and the historical bonus objectives to unlock things.

except this doesnt apply to MVP or Hassan at all man......Vince DID choose them.then he f*cked up.Vinces "watchful eye" has needed corrective lenses for about 10 years or so IMO. Yep. Vince has dropped the ball plenty of times. Ryback and Tensai are both very modern cases of it. Tensai was so easily fixable by giving him Laurenaitis as a manager, it was literally perfect given their American to Japanese dominance background. Just like Yokozuna had Cornette as a heat magnet/mouthpiece. Or at least after seeing the cracker Tensai had with Sheamus on Raw and SD they could have put the two in a program for the WHC but no. I'd much rather prefer that to the 5-month snoozefest between Sheamus and Del Rio.
