I don't think in the future , any WrestleMania would ever be as good or better than 17. It just had it all . It had wrestling , hardcore , high flying , and a great crowd . It was almost to good to be true. Everytime i watch i love wrestling even more. The main event can never be beat in this decade thats for sure . That WrestleMania couldn't not have been any perfect . Thats i think it will hold as the greatest WrestleMania ever.

the key word in your statement is "I" because Wrestlemania 17 being the greatest or unbeatable is completely an opinion. I personally never cared for the event and absolutely hated the ending

I loved WrestleMania 17. My recorded VHS copy is slowly starting to fall apart from all the times I have watched it  |

In general it is viewed as the best mania ever but I don't think it's that far ahead of some others and I would be surprised if it is never topped.

Wrestlemania 19(XIX) is the most start studded IMO
You had:
Shawn Michaels
Triple H
Chris Jericho
The Rock
Stone Cold
The Undertaker
Vince McMahon
Hulk Hogan
Eddie Guerrero
Kurt Angle
Brock Lesnar
and a young John Cena (though that may have been heat?)

17 is a great Wrestlemania. 19 is very hard to beat as well.
G2 - what do you think if 19?

I think its more of just an age demographic. I would almost put money that Vince McMahon himself votes WM3 as the all time greatest (even though as a personal preference I have it 3rd all time) |

17 is a great Wrestlemania. 19 is very hard to beat as well. G2 - what do you think if 19? I enjoyed 19 as I did 17. To me they are both close together but I dont have either personally in the top 5. Also when the word "star studded" comes up I like to look only at World Champions of main companies. I dont know of the numbers off my head but I see that WM19 had 11 which is the same as WM8 which is personally my favorite Mania of all times. |

I think WM17 was a great example of the 'three ring circus' idea that Mick Foley discussed in his first book, in that wrestling, when promoted 'properly' could offer a bit of something for everyone, and there was a lot of variety at this particular 'Mania, that's for sure.

uh, I liked WM 15. I don't know, it was like the culmination of the Rock and Stone Cold feud. It was great. Plus, it was in Philly.  After that, I've always liked Wrestlemania IV. A tournament for the belt was quite awesome back, back in the day. |

Especially seeing as they feuded for another 6 years and even had 2 more Mania matches |

I think there are many Wrestlemania's which I think are the best ever, then I watch another one and change my mind again.
But, it's fair to say it did have everything you could ever ask for at a Wrestlemania. It had the pure Wrestling Match in Kurt Angle V Chris Benoit. It had the high flying spectacle in the TLC Match. It had probably the biggest 'Storyline Match' with Vince McMahon V Shane McMahon and it had a big headline 'Wrestlemania-only' Match in Triple H V Undertaker. All topped by the best WWF Championship Match you could possibly get, with Stone Cold V The Rock, with a shocking ending.

I enjoyed XIX more, but I will say Austin/Rock is the greatest Mania main event of all time. Ofcourse IMO, as well a many others. But XIXs card is just amazing. And we still got Austin/Rock.
