WrestleMania 'went Hollywood' in 2005, but unlike the worst backlot offenders exposed over a decade later, WWE had the willing consent of the rapturous Los Angeles locals.

And that was before the first bell rang. Promoted with a series of actually-quite-funny-actually film parody vignettes, good feeling flooded the entire occasion and the talent soaked up the atmospheric adulation.

Delivering the first and best Money in the Bank epic, action and drama aplenty in Kurt Angle's dream encounter with Shawn Michaels and the making of two box office giants in John Cena and Dave Batista, the 21st edition of the 'Show Of Shows' was a cinematic success.
