I have been looking forward to reviewing this show for a very long time. I bought this DVD back in August of 2008 and I am not starting this review until now (May 2012) so I’ve had to wait a while. I wanted to get through all the PPV’s I had on the Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania Anthologies before I got to this one but my patience has paid off. The reason I’ve been waiting to review this is because it’s the first Wrestlemania I have that is the special 3-disc set. WWE has been releasing these 3-disc Wrestlemania collections starting with this one and I have all the rest of them waiting for review. I think I am going to put this review in three different places – first the event which is here. Second it will be at the end of the Wrestlemania Anthology Vol. IV collection (finishing off the Wrestlemania Anthology) and finally as a separate DVD review for the entire 3-disc set. Also, I decided to re-review all the matches on here, even the ones I’ve done recently that aired on WWEGreatestMatches.com.

Wrestlemania XIX was the first Wrestlemania to be held in a huge outdoor stadium (I guess I am excluding IX, but it wasn’t really a stadium) which started a new trend for the big event. This one took place on March 30th, 2003 at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington.

We head to the Fleet Center in Boston, Massachusetts for this event, which took place on January 19th, 2003. This is after the Brand Extension (that took place sometime before Summerslam the year before) so the Rumble match itself features 15 Raw and 15 SmackDown superstars. Michael Cole and Tazz are calling action for the SmackDown matches while Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are calling the Raw matches.

Summerslam 2002 took place in Uniondale, Long Island at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on August 25th, 2002. I hate Nassau Coliseum because that’s where the Islanders play and it is generally just a dumpy arena. I’ve been there for concerts, hockey games and wrestling shows so I’m not just saying that out of spite.

We’re really moving into some great territory for the WWE. By the time Summerslam 1998 rolled around the WWE had already fought back against WCW and started competing with them in the fabled Ratings War. By the time this ended – well, WCW was done and WWE were the clear winners. Oh, and there’s some awesome wrestling in here, too.

Wrestlemania X8 (or Eighteen, or even XVIII for those keeping with the Roman Numerals) was held on March 17th, 2002 at the Skydome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. That’s rather early in the year for a Wrestlemania, and it is probably the earliest a Wrestlemania has taken place.

This is a very interesting idea for a DVD, considering that when this disc was released, the 21st century was only 9 years old.
