Late upload. I had to render this 3 different times because of some minor issues. WrestleMania XXVI was enjoyable for me. The main event easily stands out as the best and is one of my favorite WrestleMania main event matches ever. Other than that, there's some cool stuff here but it's not an all time show. The one thing that stands out is that this was the last full timer WM. After this, a bunch of guys like Jericho and Batista left. What did you think of WrestleMania XXVI?
wrestlemania 26 was an underrated good wrestlemania and star stacked. One of my personal faves. Batista, john cena, undertaker, shawn michaels, chris jericho, edge, randy orton, rey mysterio, triple h, big show, cm punk, kane, breat hart, vince mcmahon, sheamus, wow.

I think it’s only slighty underrated because I’d be damn if I took this Wrestlemania out of my top 5 lol 😂. It’s star packed I think the biggest abs for me only problem was the ending of the money in the bank. If a Christian, Kane, or Matt Hardy one it would have been amazing. This was before Kane won his money in bank match and world title so we were still waiting on another title run from him. Christian came back after being a huge star in Tna, killed it in ECW, and deserved the win here. Then Matt Hardy a fan favorite that wwe never gave a world title chance to. Swagger winning was the most underwhelming thing of the night. The 3 big WM matches 2 world title matches and main event was awesome.
Growing up in the Ruthless Agreesion Era years, 2010-11 was pretty hard for me. Was too young to understand PG. Jeff Hardy signed with TNA in January, HBK & Batista leaving, Y2J taking time off again the end of September, Edge retiring April 2011, Undertaker & Triple H going part time (No PPV money) I could not see them often. It was like all my favorites were leaving.
This was the last Wrestlemania I watched for a loooong time because HBK retired. Ironically what brought me back into the fold was watching Brock breaking Takers streak at a wings spot on a PPV they played.
(Prime super)John cena vs undertaker at wrestlemania for the streak would've been one of the most anticipated matches in history.....such a Missed opportunity
@@itachi-kun7736 I also heard it was gonna be cena vs taker at wm 33 but it was scrapped because cena wanted to do the storyline/proposal with Nikki Bella
@@itachi-kun7736 it should've happened at Wrestlemania 27 with Taker defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Cena Alberto Del Rio faces Miz for the WWE title And Edge takes on HHH Would've been so much better
Not the best, but definitely the most stacked WM card in the last decade. Look at the star power in this show. Legends : Taker, Bret, HBK, HHH, Vince Established stars : Cena, Batista, Orton, Edge, Jericho, Rey, Punk, Christian, Big Show, Kane Up & comers / Future Stars : Drew, Morrison, Sheamus, Miz, Kofi, Cody, Dolph, Swagger, Bourne, Dibiase It'll took awhile until we see this kind of card on Wrestlemania. And i doubt will happen anytime soon.
I don't think it was the worst but I can agree I seen better years and it's because the wwe failed to build new stars to be main event players such as kofi, Dolph, Morrison wade Barrett and ect. But it's one of my favorites and I loved the year 2010
Wrestlemania 26 was the first show I ever watched. I had briefly seen smackdown a couple days before and this was the first time I sat through a whole show. Sucks that my first show was HBK’s last. I hoped for so long that he’d come back and when he did I was like damn why now 🤣
WM 26 has my favourite wrestling match ever between Undertake and Michaels in streak vs career. Remember crying seeing taker beat michaels the first time
I agree even though they were PG in 2 years, this was like the true ending of Ruthless Aggression era, HBK, Batista and other Ruthless Aggression superstars were released, and HHH & 'taker went full part timer mode
I stand by this belief: WWE died the moment Shawn Michaels retired. WWE went on to a steady decline. WWE had a few gems through the last decade but overall WWE as we knew and loved growing up in the 90s and 2000s was officially dead.
If they had focused on all their young talent like they did The Shield, then it wouldn’t have died. All their NXT call ups are wishy washy depending who you ask
This was the last Wrestlemania with some legends being full timers. Shawn retired, Triple H and Undertaker eventually became part timers, and some more people from that era started leaving. It was pretty sad and eventful.
@@pleaseshutup7053 2014 felt pretty awkward for some reason but at the same time I appreciated it because WWE took some good steps on building the future
It truly did feel like an end to am era. When you compare wrestlemania 26 to 27, the difference in 1 year was huge. The stars wwe lost after wrestlemania 26 were Shawn Michaels, Batista, Chris Jericho, Triple H (begins part time), Undertaker( begins part time), and Edge (retires after wrestlemania 27). So many greats I grew up with faded away. Cena and Orton were still there but after them, they were lacking stars for a while.
they were trying to push The Miz, Swagger, Sheamus, Mcintyre, Ziggler in 2010, a year later Miz is in the main event but he was terrible, sure he got great mic skills but he wasn't ready, alone in the main event of WM, which is for me the worst 'mania in the 2010s, Swaggers push got halted quickly, Sheamus was criticize for his early push bc he was said to be HHH's gym buddy, Mcintyre was too young, and Ziggler needed a manager
@@itachi-kun7736beside swagger The rest are great Dolph was literally the most charsmia on sd with Vicky Miz had great mic skills and good character work. All he needed is better booking as champion Sheamus was average before taking out hhh but after that sheamus gained more respect backstage and improved when he faced guys like koft and Morrison
This was the real 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania. It angers me so much that they deemed Wrestlemania 25 as the anniversary. That's not how anniversaries work WWE.
@@charlieoocharlie9466 It was the 25th Wrestlemania after 25. 25 doesn't make any sense as the 25th anniversary because that implies the first Wrestlemania is the 1st anniversary but as I said that's not how anniversaries work.
WrestleMania 26 was pretty decent. The only highlight of the show was Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels. Besides that, the other matches more or less fly by. But at least it's way better than what was to come the following year.
One of my favourites! 2010 was such a good year … maybe not for wwe but they pulled it all together for Wrestlemania!! The matches, the stadium, the stage design, the location!
(20:47) Vicky may not be a wrestler, but at least she knew to do some splashes befoe she made the second pin, to sell it more. That lil bit of improv is actually pretty veteran of Vicky.
I like how said Rey works better with shorter wrestlers, which he really does and it doesn’t make you have to suspend disbelief as much. However I thought it was funny because I hear a lot that he works better with the bigger wrestlers. Which is also true. Another reason why Rey is a legend.
2010 was a rough year for the WWE! But this is one of my favorite WrestleManias of the 2010s. One of my favorite shows ever. HBK/Taker II just killing it, The MITB Ladder Match was amazing, HHH vs Sheamus was good, The Triple Threat Match was decent, and Cena/Batista II was amazing too. This show carried one of the most disappointing years of all time.
@@pleaseshutup7053 you must a nostalgia merchant if can't acknowledge the impact of John Cena....he was the biggest draw in sport entertainment for 15 years + You just can't see him.... open your eyes you little girl 🤡
wm 26 was my fave ever. the energy, feeing, matches, stories, stage, everything was perfect and there will never be a wm this unique. that stadium was fkin massive to be in. if you look into how much they spent production wise its insane. great theme songs, great middle retractable roof super sunny inside then they'd close it then re open it. it felt such a magical experience. sorry for my bad english im excited
Dude I was literally thinking about this last week. How WM 26 was the last wrestlemania with allot of the top guys of that era. Shawn retired, Batista left two months later, Undertaker went part time, Triple H went part time, Edge wrestled for one more year then retired and Jericho wrestled for a few months and left and didn't return till 2012. And WM26 had allot of star power to it only one was missing was Jeff Hardy
I love the original plans/rumors part of the video, especially because every year it seems like Undertaker was supposed to have a different match so I love hearing about it!!
Can you please talk about Michelle McCool's face era to heel turn gimmick marking one of the greatest underrated heels of all time. I know you have addressed about laycool but it would be so cool if you could do so.
26 wasn't a bad show by any means but I felt like it was lacking. I would have had Swagger cash in on Jericho that night to have a classic moment that would have been show stealing. Sheamus vs. HHH was stale as both had simular styles while we did see some good bouts like Cena vs. Batista and Jericho vs. Edge. HBK vs. Undertaker was good maybe not 25 good but it was a great match and it told such a great story. Its a shame we don't see this kind of show today in wrestling but WWE and really the wrestling world changed so much that now its unrecognizable. Heck WWE now only gets half of the audience it once did back in 2010 so that should tell you something. People try to apply the logic of ratings don't matter but if that's true then wrestling is only for hard-core fans and fortune 500 companies. That won't work long term. Still 2010 wrestling was solid and had so many good moments as WrestleMania was a solid show. Its a shame we are not getting this type of action today.
Dude WTF are you Smoking lol. You see nothing in 28? This show honestly was saved my the main event Cena/Rock Triple H/Taker Punk/Jericho all made WrestleMania 28 a classic

@@jessicalang1024 wrestlemania 28 was just cena and rock that's it the rest of the card were boring matches that nobody wants to see and we seen taker vs triple h like a million times and there moment got ruined cus I remember the commentators were saying is this the last time we gonna see taker at mania?is this the last time we gonna see triple h in the ring?is this the last Time we gonna see shawn Michaels yes it was a great moment but it got ruined
Lol my first wrestlemania was wm 24. I didn’t care about ric flair like my mindset at that age was like if you’re not Triple H or Cena you’re irrelevant but boy I was ignorant
No Wrestlemamia will ever top the 5 straight years of 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29. They may not be the best Wrestlemamias of all time however, they had 2 of the greatest Wrestlemamia fueds of all time The Undertaker, Shawn Micheals & Triple H story, and The Rock & John Cena Rivalry. plus everytime I see these Wrestlemamias it reminds me of my childhood I was 10-14. Wrestlemamia 26 was the first Wrestlemamia I owned on DVD & 28 was the first I seen live.
After 2010, HHH/Taker went part time. HBK/Edge retired. Jericho/Batista left. Cena/Orton became the same boring characters. Kane/BigShow jokes. 2010 was really a turning point for the WWE for the worse.
Shawn Michaels should have stayed in retirement instead of getting that bloody Saudi money and wrestle a craptastic match. If ever Shawn wants to make a comeback, he could face these guys Daniel Bryan- classic student vs teacher story AJ Styles- two highly talented wrestlers fighting in an epic classic Seth Rollins- the respected legend returns to shut up a disrespectful foe Daniel Bryan and HBK could have a classic with them trading holds and countering moves like they’re playing chess and the same goes for the AJ Styles match except for AJ getting superkicked outta nowhere in midair! As for the Seth Rollins match, Seth could disrespect Shawn by saying that he is a better athlete than him and that if he existed during the 90s, he would squash Shawn like a bug and HBK will end up just like Marty Jannetty, a failure and a j-bronne And to add insult to injury, Seth enters by mocking Shawn Michaels’ entrance and just to be a double douche, he’ll try to enter via zipline (after all, when Shawn won his first World title, he went in via a zipline!)
I stuck around for 3 more years but Wrestlemania 30 WWE lost me. I watch occasionally now but will only watch full time to see the final runs for Edge and Orton, the last 2 full time RA Stars left
Completely unrelated to the video but I haven’t been subscribed and UA-cam will show me your videos in this case 16 minutes after you post them lol, I finally subbed so let’s hope it doesn’t bury your content now
2010 still has its moments like the Nexus if Cena didn't foolishly change the outcome of the match, Miz wasn't ready, great mic skills but terrible in ring at that time, 2011 was starting of the part timers
Random late comment but you can actually do a Hot Tag at the very start of the match if you wanted in SvR 2011. You just have to press the button for a Hot Tag and let your partner get injured just a tiny bit. I remember my friends and I abused it everytime we started a tag match, but would ultimately pay the price as we didn't have it later.
The official end of Ruthless Aggression. This is how I'd put every era in a timeline: Pre Golden Era: 70's - 1983 Golden Era/Rock 'N' Wrestling: 1983 - 1993 (Hogan leaving is the true end) New Generation: 1993 - 1996 (Austin 3:16 pretty much signals Attitude coming) Attitude: 1996 - 2002 (Austin and Rock leaving makes this the end to me) Ruthless Aggression: 2002 - 2010 (Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Batista, Tommy Dreamer's departure, all in one year) True PG Era: 2011 - 2014 (Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan's Hogan esque pushes felt like the beginning of a new era) Network Era: 2014 - 2018 (Just felt like this fit well with how the product felt) New Era: 2019 - 2022 (This also fits well)
@@fleezelight I'm just saying all of them going made it feel less like Ruthless Aggression. Same with guys like Hardcore Holly, Mr Kennedy and Shelton Benjamin.

@@jessicalang1024 wrestlemania 28 was just cena and rock that's it the rest of the card were boring matches that nobody wants to see and we seen taker vs triple h like a million times and there moment got ruined cus I remember the commentators were saying is this the last time we gonna see taker at mania?is this the last time we gonna see triple h in the ring?is this the last Time we gonna see shawn Michaels yes it was a great moment but it got ruined
No. Realistically, 28,30, and 37 all are pretty good.
Whether you dislike them, in general those were successful shows
Wrestlemania 26 was my first ever PPV I watched and I had only been watching WWE since January 2010 so wrestlemania 26 will always be special to me
Wrestlemania 26 was my first ppv I ever watched as well
I started with Wrestlemania 5 LOL
as much as i’m happy you’re able to appreciate your start and time watching WWE, but there will be nothing like the pre 2011 wee
@@anesu4548 dang you’re lucky you got to live through all the best years of wrestling 😂
Lol my first wrestlemania was wm 24. I didn’t care about ric flair like my mindset at that age was like if you’re not Triple H or Cena you’re irrelevant but boy I was ignorant
I personally loved WM 26 I guarantee I’ve watched that Wm more than any other 😂 2010 was my fav year in wwe as a kid
The cucumber joke had me rolling on the floor!!
Literally the year I started watching WWE
The part when you said Drew McIntyre landed on his kids😂😂😂🤣😂😂
I would say Wrestlemania 26 was the official started of the Universe Era.
No Wrestlemamia will ever top the 5 straight years of 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29. They may not be the best Wrestlemamias of all time however, they had 2 of the greatest Wrestlemamia fueds of all time The Undertaker, Shawn Micheals & Triple H story, and The Rock & John Cena Rivalry. plus everytime I see these Wrestlemamias it reminds me of my childhood I was 10-14. Wrestlemamia 26 was the first Wrestlemamia I owned on DVD & 28 was the first I seen live.
After 2010, HHH/Taker went part time. HBK/Edge retired. Jericho/Batista left. Cena/Orton became the same boring characters. Kane/BigShow jokes. 2010 was really a turning point for the WWE for the worse.
Wrong
Shawn Michaels should have stayed in retirement instead of getting that bloody Saudi money and wrestle a craptastic match. If ever Shawn wants to make a comeback, he could face these guys
Daniel Bryan- classic student vs teacher story
AJ Styles- two highly talented wrestlers fighting in an epic classic
Seth Rollins- the respected legend returns to shut up a disrespectful foe
Daniel Bryan and HBK could have a classic with them trading holds and countering moves like they’re playing chess and the same goes for the AJ Styles match except for AJ getting superkicked outta nowhere in midair!
As for the Seth Rollins match, Seth could disrespect Shawn by saying that he is a better athlete than him and that if he existed during the 90s, he would squash Shawn like a bug and HBK will end up just like Marty Jannetty, a failure and a j-bronne
And to add insult to injury,
Seth enters by mocking Shawn Michaels’ entrance and just to be a double douche, he’ll try to enter via zipline (after all, when Shawn won his first World title, he went in via a zipline!)
i remember this the beginning of wwe predictable and its not getting greater dying beginnings
Feel so old relating the miz to the challenge more than wwe and watching all these guys age is heartbreaking
I stuck around for 3 more years but Wrestlemania 30 WWE lost me. I watch occasionally now but will only watch full time to see the final runs for Edge and Orton, the last 2 full time RA Stars left
wwe from 2010- mid 2013 was actually pretty enjoyable
It’s gonna be funny in 5 years when people say 2018-2021 wwe was prett enjoyable. 2010-2013 had potential but wwe had to make cena be above everyone
@@pleaseshutup7053 true but I can only speak for myself. That’s when I was a kid, so ofc I’m bias to what made me happy back then
@@03mani who were your favorite superstars during that period
@@pleaseshutup7053 Cm Punk, John Cena, Sin Cara,Daniel Bryan, and the revamped Kane
Kinda
Ngl I think that cm punk wit the straight edge society was the blue print for Seth Rollins Monday night messiah
i was trying to watch shomiz vs john and truth on youtube but you literally can't find it?? lol
Completely unrelated to the video but I haven’t been subscribed and UA-cam will show me your videos in this case 16 minutes after you post them lol, I finally subbed so let’s hope it doesn’t bury your content now
Ironic you post this, two days later, Trips retires.
Best wrestlemania of all time in my opinion ngl the mid card talent was great the main starts this wwe clears over todays wwe
You forgot to mention that during Rey's entrance the platform that shoots Rey up from under the stage got stuck and Rey had to climb out of it.
2010 wasn't bad but after 2010 WWE fell off
2010 still has its moments like the Nexus if Cena didn't foolishly change the outcome of the match, Miz wasn't ready, great mic skills but terrible in ring at that time, 2011 was starting of the part timers
@@itachi-kun7736in ring skills don’t matter
To draw if u can talk and have character work you can be a main eventer
That’s crazy because I’m wwe12 miz sheamus drew we’re the main characters 😂
'anythings possible' the year is 2022 and stone cold is making a return wtf
For me 2010 was a true end of RA era,HBK retired, Taker,HHH and Batista became part-timers
Hey wrestlingpremier you forgot chris jericho locked in the liontamer on edge at wrestlemania 26.
HBK either shouldn’t have returned or shouldn’t have retired when he did.
HBK either shouldn’t have returned or shouldn’t have retired when he did.
its my top 10 fave wrestlemanias of all time for sure and one of my all time fave main events as well
You absolutely butchered Fantasia’s name 😂😂😂
😂😂 I thought I was tripping
17:12 damn they both were out of shape
CM punk is one of the best baby faces and one of the best heels besides Roman reigns
I, right there, i've considered no longer fan of WWE. This video is gold.
Cena vs Batista is like the 2 face of WWE wrestling, in that way tat should have been the mainevent
But again taker vs hbk is way more bigger
Bro Batista vs cena is a bigger match
Bc they only had one match
While taker vs hbk had many matches
can you cover over the limit 2010?
First
Thank god hbk retired. Pretty great day for wrestling
last time I've watched wwe was in early 2010
00:39 If this ain't the coldest Batista picture in existence...
Random late comment but you can actually do a Hot Tag at the very start of the match if you wanted in SvR 2011. You just have to press the button for a Hot Tag and let your partner get injured just a tiny bit. I remember my friends and I abused it everytime we started a tag match, but would ultimately pay the price as we didn't have it later.
It’s pronounced fan-tay-sha bro. 3:35 😂
The official end of Ruthless Aggression.
This is how I'd put every era in a timeline:
Pre Golden Era: 70's - 1983
Golden Era/Rock 'N' Wrestling: 1983 - 1993 (Hogan leaving is the true end)
New Generation: 1993 - 1996 (Austin 3:16 pretty much signals Attitude coming)
Attitude: 1996 - 2002 (Austin and Rock leaving makes this the end to me)
Ruthless Aggression: 2002 - 2010 (Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Batista, Tommy Dreamer's departure, all in one year)
True PG Era: 2011 - 2014 (Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan's Hogan esque pushes felt like the beginning of a new era)
Network Era: 2014 - 2018 (Just felt like this fit well with how the product felt)
New Era: 2019 - 2022 (This also fits well)
Reality era has a real name
Tommy Dreamer's departure did not have a profoud effect on WWE.
The attitude era started in 97
@@fleezelight I'm just saying all of them going made it feel less like Ruthless Aggression. Same with guys like Hardcore Holly, Mr Kennedy and Shelton Benjamin.
