The biggest event on the pro-wrestling calendar has been
with us for almost 30 years. That in itself is a huge testament to all involved,
both past and present.
The presence of wrestler turned movie star Dwayne “The Rock”
Johnson (see review of Fast & Furious 6) helped ensure that this year’s event took place in front of an
astonishing 80,000 fans. On offer for them was a selection of matches which
included:
Ryback v Mark Henry
Chris Jericho (who is now a also a tv presenter) v Fandango
(an updated Disco Inferno)
The Undertaker (going for his 21st win at ‘mania)
v CM Punk
Triple H v Brock Lesnar (former UFC champion)
and the main event of John Cena v The Rock for the
heavyweight title.
Disc 2 of this set contains footage from the Hall Of Fame
ceremony which honours the contributions of a selected group of individuals to
the world of wrestling.
The rest of the Hall Of Fame is on disc 3 but be warned the
speeches do tend to go on......and on.
There is more than enough here to entertain fans of all ages
but it could never match up to the early events with comic book type characters
like Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, although the vast crowd in attendance
may disagree.
Wrestlemania 29 is available on DVD in the UK now.
Ric’s Rating: Good
