Love It CVVCLIPS Bro.
Wrestlemania 27 is legit an advertisement for cena vs rock you can’t tell me otherwise
Taker vs HHH was the only good thing that night and still what happened after the match ended was pure BS.
I think it gets a little unfair criticism. Jerry Lawer v Michael Cole and The Miz v John Cena are 2 of the worst Mania matches in history, but I think overall aside from those 2 matches. It was decent enough, just not one I'd go re-visit all the time if at all
@@patrickmilner4149that was my first wrestlemania I’ve been to four. But like the cm punk vs Randy March and the Cody vs Rey matches were solid and taker vs hhh is probably the best match I’ve seen live
Of course it was
Wm27 was my first ever wrestlemania and even as with childhood wonder I still thought it was “okay” and didn’t realise how bad it was until years later.
WM36 was an achievement for just being able to be pulled off given the circumstances. There are so many worse without that restriction.
Right bc Wrestlemania 27 was WAY worse than 36
Yea I feel like I will never go back and watch it but at the time with nothing else to do it was MINT
Also throw in Wrestlemania 32 as a bad show. Also 34 as well.
36 even though it was awkward with no fans at least had solid to good matches. Not to mention the Boneyard and Firefly Funhouse match.
@@jasonx117434 made me depressed
@@jasonx1174those are both great but for the most part, this isn’t a wrestlemania most people would go back to rewatch willingly
Wrestlemania 17 had Rock vs Austin, TLC 2, Angle vs Benoit, Taker vs HHH, Shane vs Vince etc. That Mania is Legendary.
First tlc was in 2000
@@Zach-gq9cw yeah ur right at Summerslam
Like stated in the video TLC 2
Easily the best ever imo
@@jstinson7072 Not even easily...it just is the best, by far. I'm an old-head and have seen every Wrestlemania but 17 was just special; the location, the main-event peaking in the two biggest Attitude Era stars facing off, ot to mention with a stacked card; it's just incredible. I mean, the Kane/Raven/Big Show triple threat match was one of the most entertaining matches in history, it's just so fucking perfect. I miss those times so much.
I think 17, 18 and 19 is the best trilogy of Manias.
It's an awesome trilogy of Manias, but don't think 18 is anywhere near as good as the other two. WM17 and 19 are the two best ever by far. The 2000s basically had the best Manias: 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 were all fantastic.
@@Al-ji4gd I’d definitely rank them as 17, 19 then 18 but I still enjoy 18 more than most Manias.
I think 32, 33 and 34 is the worst trilogy
They was.
Agreed but 18 is a bit weaker despite having hogan/rock. 17, and 19 have great stuff top to bottom
One of the best decisions WWE ever made was going to 2 nights. Every Wrestlemania from 32-35 dragged on way too long.
35 was the worst culprit of that. My God was that show brutally long.
@@anthonyanderson9303yes! I was there ..8 hours killed me it was long cold and wet…it rained like crazy…but I had so much fun but yeah
@@anthonyanderson9303 not to mention the crowd used up all their energy with the reaction to Rollins winning in the opening of show
@sinner2death I'd say it was the Kofi win. Crowd was spent after that.
@@anthonyanderson9303 By the main event the crowd was absolutely smoked.
WM31 was solid too, the Rollins cash in during Lesnar-Reigns. That crowd was hot all night.
Yup! Came down here to say the same thing. Mania 31 is one of the most underrated manias for sure. That cash in was done to perfection.
Sting losing made that WM sour to me & Rollins cash in saved the main event because hardly anyone was behind Roman as a babyface going into the match
Except that nobody care about Lesnar-Reigns match 😂
nah that match was arguably Lesnar's best outing since his return vs Cena at Extreme Rules 2012. It had a lot of drama to it, the 'face' Roman being booed for his forced push, the crowd backing heel Brock, a pretty green Roman trying to carry a main event and stiffing Brock several times only to get some hard receipts, and "suplex city bitch!" was born. This was before Lesnar matches became 12 germans and an F5. @@kenpachisaiko4507
Agreed re: Sting. Had they booked Taker-Sting on this card it would be an all-time iconic Mania. It will still hold weight in history for being Sting's only WM match, but dammit we needed it V Taker.@@mikewitoZero
100% agree. Wrestlemania 27 sucks! It ended like an episode of Raw. There are 3 matches on that card worthy of Wrestlemania
Miz was having a great year and has never been more over and he has to come out to those silly balloons and plays third wheel to the Rock. I don’t really blame Cena. Miz was champion!
The show also had Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler and it went on and on for 30 minutes! That’s 29 minutes that could have gone to the main event.
HHH vs Undertaker was great, he should have rode off into the sunset after 28. Screw CM Punk.
@@sleepinggorillalast comment is pathetic
😂😂😂😂😂
It sucked, sure. But to say it’s the worst ever is definitely a stretch. There’s been countless ones that are way worse since then.
@@MOH_AL_Klike 9
They forgot to mention Undertaker's final match was on 36 too which ended up being the Bone Yard match. Yea that could've been the best WM of all time if it wasn't for the pandemic.
Exactly. How do you forget of all people. One of the greatest of all time.
@@dougeaton7600taker was broken down ...he got lucky with that honestly
@@Bls-of1ld true but if anyone could carry Taker to a decent/good last match, AJ Styles was the perfect pick
@Bls-of1ld if you remember AJ approached Taker for the match.
Exactly I cane to comment it 😂
WM17 still to this day is the greatest wrestling PPV of all time. We will never see a card that stacked from top to bottom. Also, WM38 had some stinker matches on that show. The worst match on WM17, was an Eddie Guerrero match, that tells you how good WM17 was. WM19 is a very close second though.
Honestly Night 2 of WM 38 was horrible. Sami vs Johnny was the only thing I liked
WM 17 is horribly overrated. Outside of Austin Rock, TLC 2 and Angle Benoit the rest of card was meh
@@Titanscw Angle vs Benoit, Austin vs Rock, TLC 2, McMahon vs McMahon, the hardcore triple threat, Chyna vs Ivory, and Undertaker vs Triple H. The most overrated WrestleMania is WM30, without question. That WM is hard carried by Triple H vs Daniel Bryan and the Triple Threat to close the show. Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar sucked and so did everything else on that card.
@@Supreme_Valentine McMahon vs McMahon was lame as was Chyna vs ivory. Everything was either ok or bad
@@Titanscw WM30 was a bad show outside of those 2 moments. The coast to coast during McMahon vs McMahon was crazy and the match wasn't bad. Chyna vs Ivory was for the great moment of Ivory finally losing and Chyna getting her payback. The worst matches on the WM17 card were Taz and the APA vs Right to censor and Eddie Guerrero vs Test. WM30 had the horrible divas battle royal match, John Cena vs Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker, and The Shield vs The new age outlaws and Kane which were all trash. WM30 gets remembered as a top 5 WM when it shouldn't even be top 15. Also, the WM30 Triple Threat is damn near a carbon copy of WM20's Triple Threat with Benoit vs Triple H vs Michaels. WM30 ain't the worst Mania, but it shouldn't be top 15.
WM35 was brutal. Felt like an eternity, no Undertaker & if you got home at 2am, you were lucky. Best part of the night was the dueling chants of "Turn the lights off" "Can't see S*it"
It was weird. Everyone who is normally good, SUCKED at that Wrestlemania.
Most crowd pleasing WM! All the faces won!
Kofimania was great but the opening match was too short and the main event had a botched finish and an exhausted crowd.
It was cold and the matches were weak lol…Kofi winning is a moment I’m glad I saw live because everyone was so happy but other than that I was miserable lol
Wrestlemania 22 was my favorite all time ….not mentioning it was my first ppv I ever orders but it was also the only wrestlemania I got to enjoy with my grandpa b4 his passing
Wm22 was great! The Shawn vs. McMahon, edge vs. Mic, Cena vs. HHH, with CM Punk being a goon! Even the Boogie Man match was good!
@@meme-eb7efdon't forget Mickie James versus Trish Stratus and the crowd was for Mickey the whole time just like they were for Triple H I was so thrown off as a little kid with that
Facts best WrestleMania to me too@@meme-eb7ef
@@meme-eb7ef the mitb ladder match was awesome too. I’ll always consider wm22 as the best one for how cool it turned out. Plus had the best stage set and interesting storylines going into event.
Thank you... 22 was the best
Wrestlemania 39 Night 1 I would put up there as one of the best ever. Rey vs Dom, Charlotte vs Rhea, Seth vs Logan, and the tag team main event
Don't forget the Tag Team Showcase was phenomenal too. Guys just busting their asses doing crazy stuff. That's what really set the night off to be great
And then Night 2 was mostly ass...
@@L_HDDisagree. The womens showcase was terrible and that was it.
Brock v Omos was fine was just
Bianca v Auska was good (wrong winner)
Finn v Edge was great
IC Title Triple Threat fantastic
Roman v Cody fantastic (even with Cody losing)
1 bad match out of 6 matches. I don’t see how that’s terrible. Maybe you see something I don’t.
@@nyameleyefekaska2895Three of those matches (Belair v Asuka, Edge v Bálor, and Reigns v Rhodes) had the wrong winner. If only one or even two had the wrong winner I think it would be less egregious, but the fact that all three of them ended with the wrong person standing tall really deflated the crowd come the end of the show
@@reddeath5791 Edge vs Finn was the wrong winner I do give you that, but that doesn’t take away from the match at all neither does Bianca v Auska.
Reigns v Rhodes was literally PERFECT. All of that has lead up to where we are now. This is literally the endgame. Cody is even MORE over than he was before. Roman is looking more desperate even with the highest form of help with him in the Rock. Everything is falling apart and this is all what Cody predicted.
Wrestlemania 27's biggest flaw was that it set up Backlash instead of concluding story lines.
Backlash stopped in 2009. Extreme Rules was the post-Mania PPV at the time.
Sounds like 40 could have the same problem as 27: The Rock
@@gnikulodeon1999 Regardless of what the next event was called.
@@jrod2510 - I full expect these 2 WM40 main events to be like the HHH v Sting match........ Massive amount of shenanigans and storyline elements rather than being epic wrestling matches..... Purists will not be happy.
The tag match especially will 100% have to be low work-rate and lots of smoke and mirror cos if either Roman or Cody (or Seth to a lesser extent) get injured the whole weekend goes to shit.
WM 31 is really underrated, and one of the best
That show had no reason to be good due to lackluster buildup, and the card didn't look too fun. Completely left field with how good the show turned out to be.
Nah that’s the most overrated WrestleMania of all time. Remove the heist of the century and the RKO outta nowhere spot and u have a meh WrestleMania.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19 it was good
Intercontinental Ladder match, John Cena vs rusev, Bray Wyatt vs Undertaker was okay (Undertaker returned after concussion) and triple h vs sting with NWO and DX returning, just because some people didn't like the outcome doesn't mean the card sucks, it's always good with surprise element to such shows, otherwise what's the point of watching such shows.
It was way better than it had any right to be because the build up was bad.
I think 30-33 are great mania’s
Mania 21 is my favorite & the most underrated. Legend killer Orton almost ending the streak. The first MITB match. Cena beginning his run as the face of the company. An absolute clinic with Angle vs HBK. It was also my first mania I saw as a kid. Nothing tops it nostalgia wise
It really was a match full of 5 star matches i can name 4 on that mania
Thank you!
@@mikewootson2085 Absolutely agreed, the match quality was stellar & the storylines going into each match were some of WWE’s best especially for the ruthless aggression era. Even the buildup to Wrestlemania 21 was iconic, those were when we got the Hollywood parody commercials lol
@@proskeptical789I think WM 21 would be remembered more fondly as being one of the best wrestlemania's if the 2 main event title matches weren't such duds. Everything else was pretty great.
WM 20 is my all-time favorite. So many great moments in that one. Taker's return, Benoit winning the WHC, Eddie retaining. The hug at the end..
Oh yeah the main event between hbk and triple h for the World heavyweight title were none of them won at the end
X-Seven is my all-time favorite and will most likely never be topped. But I will say that the Firefly FunHouse match and the Boneyard match from thirty six were both amazing, especially considering the circumstances. I'm not really sure if I have a least favorite though, I kind of just tend to blur not so great ones out of my mind.😂
One thing about the pandemic era is that some of the promos felt so real and personal. The promo Edge cut before Wrestlemania 37 could very well be the greatest promo of his entire career. The contract signing between Roman and Drew is one of my favorite segments of all time. The pamdemic era was a weird time and most of it feels like a fever dream, but I think WWE deserve credit for that era because they came out of it much stronger as a company than what they were when they entered. In a way, the pandemic era brought them back into mainstream.
As a kid I went to MSG and saw Wrestlemania 10. The Shawn/Razor ladder match, Bret vs Owen which to this day is probably the best opening match of any Wrestlemania ever, and then Bret on everyone’s shoulders after beating Yokozuna. To me that’ll always be my favorite
Sam was right about Wrestlemania 27 being probably the worst
Love this interview. basically the 2 best interviewers in wrestling media nerding out together. Could listen to hours of it lol
WrestleMania 28 was really really good too. From the shock quick win of Sheamus defeating Daniel Bryan for the WHC in 18 seconds, all the way to Team Teddy vs Team Laurinaitis, CM Punk vs Chris Jericho was really good too and finishing with one of the best WM Maint Events of all time with Rock vs Cena "Once in a Lifetime" match
It was solid, but half of it was filler
@@jackhughes7637 The thing of it is, those filler matches were great lol Rhodes and Show and Orton and Kane had 2 awesome matches that night.
@@D_2387 Orton/Kane was skippable. Ngl though I do have a special place for WM28, very good show.
Dude how could you leave out HHH vs Undertaker HIAC? Best false finish of all time.
@@jackm4124 you're completely right, my mistake sir hahaha
My personal favorite Wrestlemanias are 21, 19, and 17. Those three capture perfect moments in their respective eras with almost every match on each card being gold. My favorite matches on each was Orton vs Taker, Austin vs Rock III, and Kane Vs Raven vs Big Show. Even those are kinda hard to say because there’s so many other greats
On the empty arenas: Gunther and Draganov had that classic on NXT UK where the lack of noise ENHANCED the match, surely by design. That’s the one pandemic match worth watching.
24 is the most underrated mania ever, so many good matches
I was looking for this comment
Yes!!
I'll agree 27 was the worst. Peak PG era trash. 17 is my favorite for obvious reasons, I was an attitude era kid. Yeah, Stone Cold turning heel marked the end of the era but I feel that it was like a curtain call. Attitude era was fun and amazing, now let's see how WCW guys will do in WWF with a heel Austin.
Attitude Era ended in 2002. After WM17 there was still a lot of Attitude Era meat on the bone afterwards.
True because Cole vs Lawler was awful and the main Event wasn’t as good because well Dwayne was the host and then got involved
@@StraightEdgeKnight19that is when it ended to me, 2002. It felt like the very last good year they had.
Attitude era was awful . So much trash cringe content. PG era had a lot of that as well but I think nostalgia blinds people into just how much trash the attitude era was spewing out
WM 9 was was freaking trash, Punk/Orton, HHH/Taker, Rey/Cody was 10 times better than whatever 9 was
I loved the no crowd era got so many unique segments and insanely good promos. Example, Roman’s promos from that time period where perfect and could not have been done with a crowd chanting “what” every 2 seconds. Then we got the cinematic matches which i loved each one, it was something different. I want more than just the same backstage areas week to week and that era provided that for me.
I always feel like I enter a different reality in not liking Wrestlemania 38. Night 1 of 39 is top 3 for me and FULLY agree about Otis and Mandy... Still upsetting that didn't happen in front of a live crowd.
I liked 38, but I definitely feel it’s overrated. Both matches involving the Royal Rumble winners were disappointing, Night 2 was just average and there’s not excuse for leaving both the Intercontinental and United States Champions off the show when you have a 2 night show that runs almost 8 hours in total.
I dont know why people not like 38 its a great cool vibe show like i dont i feel a very positive and happy to watch that
I love the Austin heel turn at 17. It lead to Funny Man Austin which to me was so damn funny. His work with Vince and Angle had me in stitches
Wrestlemania 18 in Toronto, iconic.
The crowd made it better
Main Event was horrible
WWE will Never admit it. But Wrestlemania 20...
That moment between Eddie and Benoit.. fans will never ever forget it
Sure, but otherwise most of that card was rubbish
Yeah, but thanks to Chris they cant talk about it. Benoit belongs in the HOF without question, just like Chyna, but between their terrible life choices and a simple google search, it’s never going to happen. (Yes, Chyna is in as part of DX, but she’ll never get inducted individually.)
I think you could tell that they really would’ve loved to talk about it and they aren’t ashamed of Benoit’s career in their company but they obviously hate what he did and it would look bad on them if they were to acknowledge him.
@@Deathpool_04 thing is though, what pisses me off with WWE is that they're not acknowledging great iconic moments from so many wrestlers careers because it involves Benoit.
A classic example would be the Royal Rumbles 2000-07 aren't uploaded to YT because he's in it
It's not fair on Batista, Undertaker, Rey Myserio etc.
You could even argue the 2004 one where Benoit won, lots of great moments happened in that match for other wrestlers
@@Batmanthe3rd Well, if we are talking about the WMXX ending with Benoit and Eddie, unfortunately that’s a Benoit moment even though it’s also a great Eddie moment. I do agree that it’s sucks that a lot of great moments and matches can’t be talked about due to his involvement. He didn’t do those great matches or had those great moments by himself but so many people would hate the fact that they acknowledged someone that murdered their wife and son before killing themselves and I wouldn’t blame them for that.
Wrestlemania 11 is the worst mania and it blows my mind that it's not higher on peoples lists
4 is also an under hated one, it would be in my top 10 worst Manias
11 and 2 are both terrible
Wrestlemania 9 is on my list at the worst
@@joshuamelton91489
Isn’t that bad
@@joshuamelton9148 close second on mine. The thing that saves it from the worst is the total presentation, the opener and the Steiner/Headshrinker match
An episode of Insight inside the NotSam Studio? The world wasn’t ready for this level of brilliance.
I still think mania 19 is my favorite. Return of Michaels at Mania, Austin’s last real match, Brock and Angle, the only downside was the ending to triple h/booker t match.
I'm biased toward attitude era ones cuz thats the only time I watched wwe, I havent watched any since like 2012 so I cant speak on them, but I was at 18 so I obv think highly of that, but I think 17 and 20 are great too
I was at 18 too and it seemed lacklustre even at the time for me, outside of hogan rock
i can tell how young everyone is here. i was boring in late 1990 and my favorite still is wrestlemania 13
I think wrestle mania 21 is often overlooked.
-First ever MITB match (phenomenal match ofc)
-Eddie vs Misterio (Eddie’s last mania match and was fantastic)
-Angle vs Michaels
-Taker vs Orton
-Batista vs Hunter in what would be the end to the reign of terror
-Cena’s first tittle victory
You could also say WM 39 was one of the best just because it had some great matches. Rhea vs Flair for the title, Fatal 4 Way tag team match, Rey vs Dom 1, Owens and Zayn vs The Usos for the Undisputed Tag Titles, Rollins vs Paul, Triple Threat match for the IC Title, Bianca vs Asuka for the Women’s title, Finn vs Edge in the Hell in a Cell match and who can forget Cody vs Roman 1 for the Undisputed WWE Championship (which the ending of that main event ruined the end of the show) i still think if Cody would’ve won that main event, it would’ve capped off to what could’ve been the greatest WM of all time in my opinion.
Austin turning heel wasnt the problem. And the match ending is iconic. The aftermath was the problem. If Rock didnt have to leave or if Triple H could've stayed healthy long enough to turn face I think we would be looking at Austin's heel run differently.
I think the bigger error was trying to kick off a major storyline with the 2 Man Power trip when they already had the Invasion storyline on the horizon........ I'm not sure what they intended to do with the 2MPT thing tbh..... They only really had a Kane/Taker duo that could feasibly stand up to them and they burned through that pretty quickly.
The SCSA heel turn could have just been saved for a pivotal moment in the Invasion instead.
Everything after WM17 was a clusterfck anyway; so whatever, I guess........
WM 17 is untouchable. It’s in a league of its own. Argument can even be said for WM 19 which phenomenal as well, but I agree worst WM was 27 Triple H VS Undertaker is the only thing good about it. The rest of the show absolutely terrible. It’s not the wrestlers fault just wrong booking and wrestlers facing the wrong person and terrible build up.
XIX is way better then X-Seven.
@@KegOfMeatI personally like 19 a little bit more but it’s not better than 17. That’s just a fact.
2000 is almost as good as 17.
@@alphanerd7221Holy cow no it is not. WM16/2000 is probably one of the bottom 5 WrestleManias. There wasn’t one singles match on that card, and all of them except the Triangle Ladder Match sucked. That ladder match was fantastic- and that was of course the best match.
@@hmdwgf Okay rube. 2000 is one of the best PPV's of all time. You stepped in it.
Love all the beginning of the Bloodline stuff from the pandemic era, that was cool. Also the Seth Messiah stuff was cool too. I go back and watch those sometimes
My childhood favourite would be WM21. Rey/eddie, MITB, Shawn/Angle and as a kid watching Cena and Batista beat the bad guys was amazing.
My favourite has to be 25 because I was there live, so seeing Shawn and Taker live was incredible.
I think WALTER vs Dragunov I might have something to say about there being nothing worth going back to watch again in the 'Lockdown Era'...
Taker vs AJ boneyard
Firefly funhouse
Walter vs Dragunov
Orton vs Edge (G.W.M.o.A.T)
etc
there are quite a few. No one is going back watching a lot of matches for before 36 as well. The product was literally DOG SHIT (Dog Food Match, remember). People were complaining left and right that matches were boring, storylines were boring. WWE was boring. people were walking out main events.
WM35 is one of my favorites, Rollins n Lesnar starting off was a banger, womens main event even if it was a shitty finish and of course KofiMania
“Banger” lmao
The Boneyard match was the silver lining of WM 36, stopped Taker who was admittedly chasing that last great match, & Metallica’s “Now That We’re Dead” was just the perfect song to have him arrive and depart too 🤘
17-19 top notch. I didn't complain and I haven't about it since. It felt like mania man. I remember having jitters during the opening.
27 is the worst, no doubt. But I'll always hold a grudge against the 34 main event. Worst Mania main event, easily. Fans hate the entire match, with chants of CM Punk, Nicolas, "you can't wrestle," and "bullsh*t". And then Brock just wins again. Vince's biggest "screw you" to all fans.
Oh yeah. 34's main event was not even a good match. Just Roman getting pummeled. 1 hope spot, and them back to pummeling.
38 is definitely a great one, that doesn’t get mentioned much, so glad to see that get some love here. Bianca vs Becky, Seth vs. Cody, triple threat tag title match, Logan Paul’s tag match, Knoxville vs. Zayn, Owens vs. Austin, were all great, and I really found the McAfee portion entertaining.
38 is brought down by one of the worst main event matches of all time....
@TheWrightMovies Yeah, that main event was the epitome of underwhelming. If they had that last man standing match from SummerSlam on that Wrestlemania, we would obviously look at that main event differently
Night 1 👌
Night 2 💀
@@javito6053 that has been the case since 2 Night mania began, for me atleast.
Night 1 really sets up the expectations to the limit.
Night 2 starts strong, and by the mid way point, it is always underwhelming.
I have yet to see anyone say that Night 2 > Night 1 for any WrestleMania.
Every mania since wm37 (37,38,39) could have been undoubtedly Ben top 10 manias if it weren't for them always losing momentum on night 2. I am pretty sure u can still make arguments for any of them being top 10 still but if they didn't mess up night 2 each time, they would have strong reasoning to be top 10
17 hands down. No contest. I loved the ending you were in absolute shock! JR going crazy on commentary. Vince shaking Austins hand. Legendary moment!
We’re being too forgiving to 9 because it has a ton of nostalgic moments. But as a PPV, it stank. And the ending is still the biggest travesty of any Mania.
20 is my favorite
I am confused how did he Forget the boneyard Match, aka Undertaker's final wrestling match
that was Literally why I watched that Mania
Wrestlemania 30…height of the the Yes movement
Yessir it’s hard to go without mentioning 30.
That stretch from Wrestlemania 20-24 is epic if you think about it
Damn it you guys got some good memories. I can't even remember what happened last week on Raw
20 is my favorite and for me it's 15 as the worst
Nah no wrestlemania in my lifetime has ended and felt so emotional quite like mania 20. That one was incredible
1:25 i feel like that can also be said about mania 21 . I just feel like people always forget to bring it up when it comes up to best mania
I grew up watching late atittude and the whole ruthless and the best wm was 17,18,19,24.
The worst everything after that

That's "blinkered" - Thanks for proving me 100% correct in my original post.
p.s. You have no idea how old I am, kid.
Didn't expect 38 to be getting some love, but I respect it as I had so much fun watching it at home
I was 9 years old and my first show was mania 27 cause i live in atlanta so back then i didnt understand how bad that mania really was until i re watched it like 2 years ago
I loved Stone Colds promo the first week of Covid... with the awkwardness... 🤣
WM38 is a wild wild WILD answer where the fuck did that come from
Its a great WrestleMania i enjoyed it
This fool really just said 38 was the best mania 😂
I remember i had gotten a Stone Cold 12 inch action figure that christmas before Austin turned heel and i just remember being so disappointed afterward and my main thought was "I just got the coolest Austin figure and now he ruins it by turning heel" lol
I know Wrestlemania 14 probably won’t be in a lot of folks top 10 but the build up with Tyson in the mix along with Austin & HBK was pretty cool! Also Kane tombstoning Pete Rose was awesome and he had the match with Taker for the first time! Wrestlemania 12 had the greatest wrestling match of all time with Bret Hart vs HBK.
WrestleMania 34 is the worst by lightyears. Asuka losing to Charlotte is the stupidest, most ill conceived booking decision ever in the womens division, Jinder Mahal won the US title, Taker and Cena was an under 3 minute match just to troll Taker (Taker says this himself, Vince found it funny because Taker had been training for a 30 minute classic), Nia Jax won the womens title, Nakamura lost to AJ in that horribly disappointing WWE title match, a 10 year old won the tag titles, and Roman/Brock was rejected so bad the audience were playing with beach balls.
However, it did have the return of Daniel Bryan and it had the rousey match so it wasn’t a total dud
27 was awful though
I was there live and I 1000% agree. It was even more disappointing because it was my first WM in person. Thankfully my second live which was WM 31 made up for it.
WM31 is my favourite
21 is my personal favorite. It launched both Cena and Batista, MITB debuts, Angle/HBK have a classic, Taker/Orton is also good, Rey/Eddie have a banger
Beyond the pandemic issue i also hated the random undercard of wm36... what the hell was Black vs Lashley, Elias vs Corbin, the Raw tag title match, etc. It was like the middle of a random episode of Raw.
"no one wants to rewatch pandemic wrestling"
Dragunov/WALTER tho
For me it’s the Cinematic MITB match, a fun guilty pleasure match lol
The thing about 17 is that the Rock and Austin were two of the biggest celebrities at the time …not just wrestlers. Raw and Smackdown averaged somewhere close to 7 million viewers back then. There will never be another wrestlemania like that again, because wrestling will never be that popular again.
I loved Wrestlemania 27. Dam acknowledged HHH v Taker being great. I think that was a major contributing factor to it being great. Many other great matches. I loved the video package leading into Miz’s entrance for the Main Event.
My favorites are Wrestlemania 21 and Wrestlemania 39. I'm biased because I'm from Los Angeles. 21, I was there. 39, sofi stadium would've been overwhelming for me.
WrestleMania 28 has been my favorite since it happened. My favorite match of all time (End of an Era), my longest confirmed match build ever and possibly the most hyped match ever (Cena vs Rock), a fantastic (and not talked about enough) WWE title match (Punk vs Jericho), and possibly just the most hyped I've been for a WrestleMania in general...
Until now. Regardless of how it goes, Mania 40 will most likely become my new favorite as it will be the first WrestleMania I will be attending in person, and it is now my most hyped Mania ever just because of that.
Wrestlemania 28 is my fav in my opinion having the rock vs Cena aswell as Triple h vs taker with Hbk as referee was just a instant classic 💯
Best - WM XIX , WM 31 & WM 40
Worst - WM 27
Underrated - All Wrestlemanias 20 To 26
I gotta agree with Chris about 36 being the worst...as for my personal favorite, it's gotta be Wrestlemania 21, I'm biased because that was the first Wrestlemania during my time as a wrestling fan, but it was just...so good, the movie skits for promotion materials, the matches that defined the Ruthless Aggression era like Batista - HHH, Cena - JBL, Angle - Michaels, Orton - Taker, first ever MITB...just, so good.
I do go back to watch pandemic era but exclusively The Golden Role Models 👌🏽
How is this a conversation? WM 17 is not only the greatest wrestlemania but it’s the greatest PPV they’ve ever done
Re: WM36, I still wish to this day they'd postponed it two weeks to figure out a way to create some atmosphere. Sam is right that it hurt Otis-Mandy more than any other part of the show.
I don't remember loving (or hating) 38 at the time. But admittedly I watched it somewhat distracted. The effusion here makes me wonder if I need to give it a complete rewatch.
Chris. I would happily go back and watch WALTER v Ilja Dragonov from the pandemic era any day.
WM38 was the first and only (so far) I’ve been able to attend in person and it was incredible. Nice to hear ppl praise it.
I like 6 which was my first, then 9 because I attended that one in my hometown las vegas , and i loved mr perfect & bret hart, x-seven 18 & 19 were outstanding. The ones i didnt care for were 27 28 and 29
Also WM 30 should be mentioned as one of the greatest undertakers streak coming to an end is still one of the most shocking moments in WM history
And the Bryan Danielson story.
People may not want to admit but Wrestlemania 20 has the best Wrestlemania match ever
Of course most people agree 17 is the best one but my personal favorite will always be 21. The first Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood. They made spoof trailers with the wrestlers. The Taxi Driver one where Batista's asking the guy what his line is and he keeps saying "Are you talking to me?" is classic! The Wrestlemania that put John Cena AND Batista at the top. Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle, Randy Orton vs Undertaker, the first ever Money in the Bank match.
My favorite wrestlemania will always be wm 30. The stories going in that event was just perfectly set for a huge ending.
Surprised more people aren't saying this.
Im partial to WM13 bc it was the 1st WM I watched when I first got into wrestling. Undertaker beating Psycho Sid. WM14 when Austin won the title against HBK with Mike Tyson. WM17 was also amazing. Austin vs Rock.
I loved the taker and AJ match. That was awesome
I agree with Sam about 38 and i felt i was in the minority about it. But at the time none of the Vince stuff was really out there yet and havng austin return, Triple H signalling his retirement, just... I remember watching that show and feeling like that WrestleMania felt like a love letter to wrestling. It was a mix of the Old school guys leaving their final mark on the business while most other current guys ushering in the new era that we're seeng beginning to peak with this new Attitude era-like starting off
I'm always going to be partial to 30, I was there in person, whether or not I was happy with exactly how it happened Taker's streak coming to an end will always be Wrestlemania history and the night ended with Daniel Bryan just conquering WWE while the crowd went NUTS.
I watched WM30 at home and still share your opinion. Propably the best Mania of the 2010's.
Except Bryan feud that was a terrible mania nothing on the show good
Wrestle Mania X7 is the best
It’s crazy every person hates WM27
I stopped watching from WM19-31 so I missed a lot. But 31 got me back into it. I think that’s my favorite. Mania 9 was the worst.
Watch Mania 2
We Need A Podcast With These 2
Kofi vs Jimmy vs John Morrison, KO vs Seth and Charlotte vs Rhea were bangers from that Mania that I would re watch. Plus love the Boneyard and Firefly Funhouse matches. Oh I forgot and the culmination of the Otis/Mandy storyline. Plus Drew winning the title. To me it's a great Mania. Obviously no fans bothered me but it wasn't the worst Mania like 27 makes sense to be the worst.
i'd say the one thing from the pandemic i'd rewatch would be mitb 2020, because that shit was pure chaos and i remember loving it at the time
