It's that time of year, WrestleMania time!
And so some of the guys on here are complaining, we are all excited for the event, even if they admit or not ;D
So, I was thinking, what are YOUR top 10 WrestleMania matches?
By 'Top' I don't mean just on a wrestling standpoint, nor an entertainment level, sure these contribute but also the matches that had that feel to it, the feeling that this match was special and would never happen again.
Here's mine, in no order after the first 3;
1. Steve Austin Vs. Bret Hart - Submission match - WM13
IMO this is the greatest match ever at WM, it has everything, violence, wrestling, a great build to it, nice spots, and two of the greatest ever.
2. Steve Austin Vs. The Rock - WMX7
Great match, had that feel due to the build plus it was, again, two of the greatest ever having a match that had everything, incuding a massive swerve at the end.
3. Steve Austin vs. The Rock - WMXIX
May not have been as good as X7's, but damn it was still an awesome match, with great meaning and emotion behind it. Unlike alot of modern-day WM matches, this was a non-title match, that wasn't about the Streak, but actually meant something.

4. Steve Austin Vs. Shawn Michaels - WM14
Great match-up, the end of Michaels' best time IMO, plus it built Steve up to a perminent Main Eventer.
5. Randy Orton Vs. The Undertaker - 'Legend Killer match' - WM21
One of the few Undertaker matches at WM I really like, just a great wrestling match with a good build, meaning and possibly the greatest counter of all time.
6. Ultimate Warrior Vs. Randy Savage - Retirement match - WM7
Awesome match, one of the few Savage matches I've ever seen but its damn great, and for Warrior, possibly his greatest match ever.
7. Edge Vs. Mick Foley - Hardcore match - WM22
Pretty 'meh' Mania except from this match, or should I saw brawl. Foley's best match since he left back in 2000, plus it made Edge a perminent star and Main Eventer.
8. Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar - WMXX
Sure it wasn't the greatest match, but its not as bad as everyone says. It had the feel of a Mania match, it really did, it had been building since Survivor Series, and the prospect of these two huge animals being contained in a match and the only guy who could take control was Austin, again may not have been the greatest match but was average in my eyes.
9. Batista Vs. Triple H - WM21
This had been building really since way back in November or even October of the previous year, Batista was ready for the title, and had a great match against Trips.
10. CM Punk Vs. Randy Orton - WM27
I know it hasn't happened yet, but for me atleast, its feeling great, I'm sure it'll steal the show this year and even could be the Austin/Hart of this generation. The only thing I'd have wished for was if the match had a stipulation.
So yea, there's mine, I have only seen WM13 on wards, so thats why there aren't any from before then, but yeah go ahead.
