What a night for the WWE. This year's Wrestlemania reminded us all why we pay extra for the event, and then begin the wait for the DVD. Unforgettable spots were so numerous, they could've opened the following night's Monday Night RAW using nothing but clips from this pay-per-view. Its few downers were in no way enough to ruin the night, and the impressions left by some of the insanity will take years to slip from our minds.

Looking back, Wrestlemania 22 only had one botched match (excluding the pillow fight, which does not earn "match" status), and it was short enough that it didn't have the chance to destroy the night like Brock Lesner and Bill Goldberg did a few years prior. As is the norm, the main event was not the best of the night. The two matches that let anything go proved why this is the Super Bowl of pro wrestling, and what these guys will do for the entertainment of their fans. Hats off to an enormously successful PPV that was well worth $50 on PPV, and another $30 here on DVD. (**** out of *****)

Note: For a full rundown, read the review written immediately following that night's festivities

Video quality has finally taken a turn for the better for a WWE DVD. While compression is still rough and highly annoying, it's definitely been toned down a notch from other releases. Rapid movement no longer becomes a problem like it used to. Increased clarity reveals sharper detail than usual, and the blood is as red as it can be. The event has been preserved beautifully.

Audio is usually a highlight, and this is no exception. It's easy to hear fans taunting ringside in every speaker, something lost on a typical cable PPV stream. The 5.1 is used properly and to great effect. The crowd noise makes each match more involving, and someone being smashed into the mat reverberates as it should. Bass never seems to be as high as it could be from the WWE, though that probably has more to do with this being a live event than any DVD mastering issues. (****)
