WWE: WrestleMania XXX

Wrestlemania 30 was my first ever live WWE experience. I enjoyed it immensely and it was only natural that I get this.Firstly, if you are into additional content, you will be disappointed this Blue Ray DVD. With the exception of the awesome Pre-show tag title bout, there really isn't anything added. The WWE Network features some additional features such as superstar interviews and such, so it might be better you spend your money on that, rather than get this DVD.If however, you are willing to sacrifice the extras for one of the best wrestling events ever, this is for you!The show kicks off with three legendary icons in the business, to a brilliant wrestling match between Daniel Bryan and Triple H, for the opportunity to get into the main event. The New Age Outlaws and Kane made a brief appearance in an effort to hang with the new dogs of the yard, the Shield... who managed to carve out an epic Wrestlemania moment.If that wasn't enough, the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal will leave you breathless with one of the most poetic endings in WWE History, reminiscent of Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant!War can be fought in many ways and John Cena found himself entering the Superdome locked in Psychological Warfare against the Wyatt Family.Then after 21 years of dominating the Granddaddy of em all, The Undertaker seeks to add to The Streak, but by no means is it an easy task. For he has never faced a Beast Incarnated in the form of Brock Lesnar! Here comes the pain.AJ Lee then steps between the ropes to defend her Diva's Championship in an invitational Diva's match, certainly an opportunity for her to cement her place as the dominant female of the current product, or will the Total Divas reign supreme?Then, the main event of the evening. The Authority's hand picked face of the company, and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Randy Orton, enters into the squared circle to defend his title against his former teammate: Dave Batista, chosen by the Authority to ensure that the main event of Wrestlemania would truly be what is "best for Business". Will they be able to achieve an all Authority main event by filling it out with The C.O.O, The Game: Triple H? Or did Daniel Bryan achieve his life long dream of reaching to the top, proving his doubters wrong, and not only enter into the main event of Wrestlemania 30, but capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship?

This was a Christmas gift for a 8 year old by who loves WWE stuff.Since it went through our church I have only talked with the dad who has told me his son loves this and has watched it 'dozens of times since Christmas'. In fact the dad said he was sick of it but the son insists of watching it several times a week. I know what he means because my daughter did the same thing with Barney the purple dino and Winnie the Pooh when she was around 8 or 9.The dad said the son rated it a 10 out 10 - but keep in mind this is a 8 year old boy!

Pre-show match: Tag Team Champions Uso's VS Real Americans VS Rybaxel VS Los Matadors: Very good opener that was turned into a elimination match. Uso's retain in an action packed match & Ceasaro turns face by turning on Swagger.Hulk Hogan comes out to start the show & Stone Cold & Rock join as they cut a lengthy promo.Triple H VS Daniel Bryan: Maybe it was predictable, this match was still very exciting & I enjoyed the finish. Triple H attacks Bryan afterwards so he is weakened for the main eventN.A.O & Kane VS The Shield: Very rushed match with Shield winning.Andre The Giant Battle Royal: Hey, how do you solve a problem every year because many talents are being left off the big event because of promo's & music concerts. Easy, put a battle royal & throw everyone in who doesnt have a match. Big Show was the favorite but Ceasaro ends up winning, very happy for him, & hope to see him as a future world champion.Superman VS Bray Wyatt: With all the momentum of the Wyatt family going in, it should be their time to shine. However, Cena ends up winning in what some consider an upset. I'm sure Wyatt will beat Cena at the next PPV but it's not the same.The Hall of famers are introduced & Warrior gets his music.Undertaker VS Brock Lesnar: What a friggin shocker. I watched this live & could tell what moves were about to happen. The match wasn't bad but very predictable with what moves were coming up. The ending was a shocker & will go down as one of the top 10 moments in WrestleMania history as the crowd's reaction was priceless. I even felt a little sad at seeing this streak end. He took way too much time leaving the ring though. Brock wins the streak, will brag about it on Raw, & leave for another few months.Women's Match: AJ Lee retains her belt in a chaotic match.World Champion Randy Orton VS Batista VS Daniel Bryan: Started off fine but dragged in the middle as Triple H, Steph, & Scott Armstrong try to screw Bryan but fail. Afterwards Bryan is driven thru a table by Orton & Batista as it takes at least five mintues till the action picks up as Bryan is stretchered out of the arena. He returns & the action resumes with Bryan making Batista tap out & the confetti goes off. Cut out the middle of the match & it was good.Overall, another all out event by WWE. If you got the network then this event is a steal. This will be talked for years either about for Bryan finally win the gold or Taker's streak ending. Highly recommend this event & hope WWE can keep up the momentum.Follow-up: After a night of thinking it over, this should be the Attitude era's swan song as one wrestler writer wrote. I love seeing Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, etc but it's time to step aside & let the future take center stage. The past few WrestleMania's have been overblown events featuring people who only wrestle a few times a year while the guy's who bust there ass night in & night out have to sit out back & watch. I like The Rock but his last two comeback bids have been a joke, going as far as asking for a title shot months in advance, & then winnning it. This year they just stuffed the unused in a Battle Royal. The Shield & Daniel Bryan dominated the main events of Raw & Smackdown last year & did a good job. Ceasaro & Wyatt Family are growing a rabid fan base & you've got a rookie system in NXT that everyone is raving about. Yea I like the older stars but WWE needs to evolve & put wrestling back into the main stream. This was a good start & hope they keep it up.
