Wrestlemania 22 intro12/24/2022 ![]() The Iron Sheik wins by lastly eliminating Hillbilly Jim. Match 9: Gimmick Battle Royal - Entertaining match. In the end Edge & Christian, with help from Rhino, win the tag gold again. ![]() ![]() Spike Dudley, Rhino and Lita all interfere for their respective teams. Jeff Hardy as well took the match to incredible heights with his daredevil attitude. The spear in mid air from Edge to Jeff Hardy was the best of the match. It started pretty fast with a lot of good spots. Tons of tables, ladders and chairs in the match. Match 8: The Dudley Boyz (c) vs Edge & Christian vs The Hardy Boyz in the TLC II match for the WWF Tag Team Championship - A pretty good spotfest. Shane then takes off from this and gets the win over his dad. In the end she raises from her chair and hits a low blow on Vince. Vince beats his son with Linda at ringside. The whole story line was the higher rated segment of the show. A very hardcore war between both father and son. Match 7: Shane McMahon vs Vince McMahon in a Street Fight - Mick Foley plays the unbiased turned biased referee in this match. Chyna comes out and tosses Ivory around, finally scoring the win and earning her first Women's title. Match 6: Ivory (c) vs Chyna for the Women's Championship - Absolute squash match. Benoit chases him to the back and locks on the crossface for payback. Angle and Benoit both come out as heels in this feud, even though most side over with Benoit. The two have this epic battle that is Wrestlemania worthy. Benoit and Angle look to lock on every single submission in the universe. Match 5: Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit - Next to the main event this was a match of the night candidate. In the end the distractions pay off when Guerrero hits Test with the belt to begin his second run as European Champion. Test fends off attacks from Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko most of the match, while maintaning to defend against Guerrero. Match 4: Test (c) vs Eddie Guerrero for the European Championship - The European Championship is always booked a little higher than the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania for some reason, but this was actually a very good title match for the mid-card. In the end Kane throws both men off the stage to win the title. Big Show and Kane dominate Raven and each other the entire time. The match is a solid falls count anywhere war for the Hardcore title. Raven does all he can to retain (you hear this a lot in Heyman's commentary). Match 3: Raven (c) vs Kane vs Big Show in a Triple Threat Hardcore match for the Hardcore Championship - One of the more extreme matches of the night. The concept of making sure everyone gets time at the biggest event of all time is a nice concept, but this would have been more a Sunday Night Heat match. Match 2: Tazz & The APA vs The Right to Censor - Just a time filler. Jericho had all the momentum in this particular match and it all really carried him to retaining the title. This match was an impressive opener for WWE's secondary championship. Match 1: Chris Jericho (c) vs William Regal for the Intercontinental Championship - This feud was one of the more entertaining feuds in 2001. This was honestly one of the better Wrestlemania events in a long time.
