If WrestleMania is truly the "Super Bowl of sports entertainment," then it deserves Super Bowl DVD treatment as well. In the past, WrestleMania DVDs were treated like any other pay-per-view event, but this time, WWE finally got it right. This two-disc set features a ton of goodies that not only add context and enhance the matches in WrestleMania 18, but take a look back at seminal WrestleMania moments. You get the top five WrestleMania finishes, the complete Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior match from WrestleMania 6, and a ton of other extras. As for WrestleMania 18 itself... well, perhaps there is a reason all of the supplement material was included, because it's a bit of a lackluster affair. The hype is there, with Hogan battling the Rock, Triple H fighting to regain the WWE title from Jericho, and the Undertaker vs. Ric Flair. However, actually watching aging legends like Hogan and Flair wrestle in their 50s is more sad than thrilling. In the end, the event seems more like the Geriatric Bowl than the Super Bowl. --Dave McCoy

WrestleMaina X8 was a great PPV. It was just as good as X7 was a year before.
Rob Van Dam vs Wlliam Regal- Ive always wanted to see RVD wrestle live and never got the chance. He is such a great talent and its too bad he was kept down for so long in his early WWE run for the world title. I'll admit he screwed it up after winning the world title though. Yes, I know this was for the intercontinental title. Good match.
DDP vs Christian- Christian always talked better then he wrestled, expect in ladder matches. DDP wins with a diamond cutter in a short match.
Goldust vs Maven- Decent hardcore match but nothing speical. The usual run ins.
Kurt Angle vs Kane: Good match, Angle wins.
Ric Flair vs Undertaker: A good street fight but very short. Flair can still out perform the WWE locker despite his advanced age.
Booker T vs Edge- Edge is the hometown hero. Need I say more?
Steve Austin vs Scott Hall: Both men would leave WWE soon after this match took place. Hall was in rough shape for a long time but he looks to have cleaned himself up pretty good for this match. Not a great match like you'd expect if both men were in there prime.
Dudley Boyz vs Hardy Boyz vs APA vs Billy and Chuck- Decent match but nothing to exciting.
Hulk Hogan vs The Rock: The match everyone was waiting for. Rock can wrestle but Hulk is a better showman, although Hulk can wrestle a good match sometimes. A good match but alot of punches thrown never connected and some moves looked fake. Both men shake hands afterwards. I remember the next night on Raw when Hogan addressed the crowd. Powerful stuff.
Trish vs Jazz vs Lita: Ill admit these ladys have talent but I still dont watch women's wrestling.
HHH vs Jericho- Of course Triple H was going win the title back. Like it would have been any different in this era of the WWE. Its too bad Triple H hated Jericho because I would have love to see Jericho win anther world title. He has returned and maybe its in his future...just maybe.
Great WrestleMaina and WWE hasnt slowed down the pace to put on a great one every year.
Wrestlemania X8 features ICON vs. ICON April 3, 2007

WWE Wrestlemania X8
March 17, 2002
Toronto, Canada
This event would have been 3 stars but I gave it 4 because of the once in a lifetime match between the Rock & Hulk Hogan. And also a good DQ match between Taker & Ric Flair.
1. Intercontinental Championship
William Regal (C) vs. Rob Van Dam
A great kick off to the show. Lots of back and forth action all the way. 3.75/5
2. Hardcore Championship
Maven (C) vs. Goldust
After eliminating the Undertaker at the Royal Rumble fans truly got behind Maven for a little while at this time period which got him to win the Hardcore Championship. Not the greatest hardcore title match but Goldust brings out his own Gold trash cans but it leads to a series of title changes throughout the night that ended in the parking lot with Maven pinning Christian to win the title back. This isn't worth rating.
3. European Championship
Christian vs. DDP (C)
Probably the weakest match on the card, the crowd doesn't really get into this match at all just not a good match to watch. 2/5
4. Kane vs. Kurt Angle
This was a good match up. Kane displays his technical skills he has in this match. Some nice moves here and there. The ending was botched when Kurt messed up his footing in trying to grab Kane's tights to pin him which Kane layed on the mat for about 5 seconds but overall a pretty good match up. 4/5
5. No Disqualification- Undertaker vs. Ric Flair
Not that many people were expecting this match to be good, but boy ol' boy were they wrong. Ric Flair gets cut open early in the match but gives an hell of a effort to stay in there with the Deadman. Arn Anderson comes out and makes an appearence and spine busters Undertaker and the crowd really got into that. Taker sits up and counters the figure 4 leg lot then delivers a chokeslam and then the tombstone on Flair to become 10-0 at WM. 4.5/5
6. Edge vs. Booker T
Not a whole lot to say about this one except the Toronto crowd his behind their hometown boy all the way. Not a disaster by any means. 3.5/5
7. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall w/ Kevin Nash
This match was not one of The Rattlesnakes greatest WM matches. Nash gets banned from ringside during the match early on. The match certainly could have been better with two former IC champs but it is was great to see Austin raising hell all over the nWo. 3.5/5
7. WWE Tag Team Championship
Billy and Chuck (C) vs. Dudleys vs. Hardys vs. APA
This wasn't all great of a tag match but its definitely worth watching. D-Von gets throwned through a table then Billy and Chuck gets the victory. 3/5
8. The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan
An outstanding match and great to see the crowd go crazy during this match. The match was back and forth all the way. One of the greatest matches in Wrestlemania history. Rock kicks out of the Hogan leg drop and comes back to give Hogan two Rock Bottoms and then a Peoples Elbow to beat Hogan in Hogan's second WM lost. Like I said, an once in a lifetime match. With all do respect to Triple H & Chris Jericho, this was truly the main event. 5/5
9. Women's Championship
Trish Stratus vs. Jazz (C) vs. Lita
The crowd during this much was sound hushed due to the phenonmenance The Rock & Hogan dislayed. But this a nice wrestled womens match. Not much to say but a nice womens match to watch. 3.5/5
10. Undisputed Championship
Triple H vs. Chris Jericho (C) w/ Stephanie McMahon
Even with HHH still not a whole 100 percent better, this was still good main event. But its more about putting over the Triple H & Steph feud. A good match but not on the same level as Rock/Hogan or Taker/Flair. 4/5
Wrestlemania X8 was a great Wrestlemania I suggest investing in this ppv with a lot of good matches and one Historic match in Rock and Hogan.

If you don't own any of the out of print WWF Wrestlemania's, get this one along with Wrestlemania 17. I loved the Hollywood Hogan Vs. The Rock match.
Great event with a great dvd July 29, 2006

This dvd is now out of print, but its worth tracking down. This event was recently rereleased in the big Wrestlemania DVD box set, but it was heavily edited in order to meet with copyrights. Aside from changing music in the rerelease, they had to blur the WWF logo and edit out any mentions of the initials "WWF". This original dvd had no editing.
THE EVENT
* Intercontinental Title: William Regal (c) vs. Rob Van Dam
* European Title: Diamond Dallas Page (c) vs. Christian
* Hardcore Title: Goldust vs. Maven (c)
* Tear Away: Drowning Pool sings a song
* Kane vs. Kurt Angle
* No Choice - video package of Flair & Undertaker's feud
* Ric Flair vs. Undertaker. This dvd keeps Undertaker's Limp Bizkit theme, which is edited out of other events (including the rerelease of this event)
* Edge vs. Booker T (last time Edge's Rob Zombie music was not removed from a dvd)
* nWo picks the wrong guy - video package of Austin & Hall's feud
* Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall
* Tag Title Elimination Match: Billy & Chuck (c) vs. the Hardy Boyz vs. the APA vs. the Dudley Boyz
* Icon vs. Icon - video package of Rock & Hogan's feud

EXTRAS
Disc 1
* Byte This with Vince.
* Favorite WM Moments.
* Top 5 WM finishes
* Top 3 WM attendences
* Post Match Comments: RVD, DDP, & Angle
* Making of the cast: talks about making a cast of Stacy's legs
* Press Conference.
Disc 2
* Wrestlemania 6's Main Event: Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior. This was placed on the dvd because it was the main event of the last Wrestlemania to hit Toronto. Great classic match.
* The Rock challenges Hogan: This is the full scene from Raw when The Rock confronted Hogan and challenged him to a match. Great moment.
* The Rock tells a Hulk Story: This is from the fanfest during the weekend before WM18. The Rock talks about his brief encounter with Hogan as a child. Funny!
* The Next Night on Raw: On Raw, the following night, we see Hogan quit the nWo
* Cat Fight: Lita & Trish fight backstage on Smackdown
* Post Match Comments: Trish & Maven.
Overall, I highly recommend this DVD. Its a great event with fun matches. This is definitely one to add to your collection whether you're a hardcore collector or just a relaxed fan.
