From the spring of 2004 through the tail-end of 2005, Smackdown was a heaping pile of cow dung under the unencumbered summer sun. This event is the exception. If John Cena and JBL's WWE Championship match at WrestleMania was as good as their bloody I Quit match at Judgment Day, then WrestleMania 21 gives WrestleMania X-Seven a run for its money as the greatest WWE event ever.

That violent mainer was preceded by an excellent Rey Mysterio-Eddie Guerrero clash, another improvement over its WrestleMania predecessor. Paul London and Chavo Guerrero's Cruiserweight title match was enjoyable lower-card action, while Booker T and Kurt Angle helped anchor the show with a memorable clash.

For your sanity, however, it's best to not ask what their feud was actually about.
