Man, I could never do this. I just tend to watch them in random order. I watched 29 all the way through for the first time the other night, here are my thoughts:
The Shield vs Orton/Sheamus/Show - Pretty good for what it was. Mark Henry vs Ryback - Didn't enjoy this one at all. Team Hell No vs Dolph Ziggler/Big E Langston - Didn't enjoy this one either. Fandango vs Chris Jericho - A decent match. It's a shame Fandango didn't get over. Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger - Blatantly obvious that Swagger was in the doghouse, he got a jobber's entrance. Another boring match. The Undertaker vs CM Punk - Now this is what I'm talking about! Great match. Brock Lesnar vs Triple H - Loved it! I hated their SummerSlam match, but this more than made up for it. John Cena vs The Rock - I struggled to stay awake during this one. Even worse than their first match.

You know what I am reminded of when watching through these first couple mania?, and that is what a good worker in the ring Greg Valentine was. Shame he had no mic skills and 0 charisma.

WrestleMania III is for sure the first one to actually feel like a huge deal.

WrestleMania III is for sure the first one to actually feel like a huge deal. I haven't seen it for awhile, but I was pretty underwhelmed by Andre/Hogan when I saw it.

Welcome to Russlemania. βββββββββββββββββ Interviewer is terrible. Piper is on form. βUh Ohβ. Lol, Mr Wonderful went from main event to curtain jerker. Not really a fan of either of these guys, very mediocre match. Orndorff is roiling HARD here, and man, Iβve never noticed before but the guy totally looks like Daniel Bryan. Are my ears deceiving me here, or are the crowd chanting βBullcrapβ? βββββββββββββββββ Mr T has a mini me in his promo. Managed to cut a promo without mentioning his mother. Impressive. βUh Ohβ. Machoβs got a full head of hair DIG IT. Itβs gotta speak something about just how terrible George Steele was that not even Randy Savage could carry him to a passable match. Shouldnβt Savage (and later George) have been DQd for using flowers? Steele is like a fatter, uglier, hairier Vader. One that canβt work. βββββββββββββββββ Bill Fralicβs gotta be on Roids here. Heβs in better shape than most wrestlers are now. Heβs looking Studd in the eye too, must be very tall. βUh Ohβ. Poor George Wells. I have no idea who George Wells is, but George Wells is George Wells. Jake is so great, he actually made this match interesting. Apart from the Battle Royal, this was a highlight. βββββββββββββββββ I love Piper but man this whole boxing thing is so lame. Youβd think after this sham that Vince wouldnβt have done the Brawl For All at WM15β¦ This woman commentatingβs βUh Ohβs are way worse than Art Donovanβs βHow Much Does This Guy Weighβs. βββββββββββββββββ PEEYOU. What a stinker of a womanβs match. βββββββββββββββββ The USA stuff is still over well here. Short match, man the crowd was hot for Corporal @bashcrashwiley better not see this match . βββββββββββββββββ YES. Battle Royal time. For as bad as this show is, this is my all time favourite Battle Royal match. The ending is just so perfectly crafted. The double dropkick spot is awesome on Andre. Also always loved the attires the Harts wore here. Russ Francis got killed when he was eliminated I think. Always laughed at Kathy Leeβs line βHe is the giantβ. Also Gorilla when Perry is eliminated, he says βHe says alright you got meβ. βββββββββββββββββ I always wondered why the hell Lou Albano was saddled with the Bulldogs. This match has bursts of excitement, and then goes through periods of being boring. Itβs rather odd actually, I think itβs Brutusβ fault. It could have done with being a bit shorter, but this is definitely better than anything from WM1. Gregβs a fantastic worker, as are both Bulldogs. βββββββββββββββββ I canβt believe they did Hercules vs. Steamboat over Bret vs. Steamboat here. Rickyβs still as jacked as they come. βββββββββββββββββ Uncle Elmer vs. Adrian Adonis. WHO BOOKED THIS. I donβt think thereβs a word in the English language that could truly capture the terribleness of this match. βββββββββββββββββ Alfred Hayes is so terrible but I love him. Completely forgot that Terry Funk was here. Hoss looks ancient here. Tito starts his long ass Wrestlemania losing streak with this match! Pretty good ending, but itβs not anything ground breaking. βββββββββββββββββ I love how Alfred Hayes canβt count. βThis cage is so heavy it takes 6 men to carry itβ. Thereβs 4 men Alfred. Still a poor main event, but much better then WM1 main event. Overall Iβd rate this event: βUh Ohβ/10. This event has a few matches that are way better than WM1, but several that are WAY worse.

Thoughts on Wrestlemania 2:
Ray Charles sounded like he didn't know half of the lyrics to America the Beautiful.
I had absolutely no clue what Piper was talking about in his promo, but yet I wanted to hear more of it.
*Magnificent Muraco vs. Paul Orndorff -Not a good match. I thought it was a DQ finish, but then they interrupted Mr T's promo and announced it was a double count out. Really stupid.
There's so many DQ's and count outs on the first two Wrestlemanias, you'd think you're watching something from 2015.
*George Steel vs. Macho Man for the IC Title -Randy Savage was awesome, but this wasn't his best match. You could probably blame Steel for that.
*George Wells vs. Jake Roberts -Never heard of George Wells, but I actually ended up enjoying the match. -Jake wins and remains undefeated.
*Roddy Piper vs. Mr T in a boxing match -I love Piper, but this wasn't good at all. -The spot where T punches Piper out of the ring looked horrible. -Mr T wins via DQ. Sooooo stupid.
*Velvet McIntyre vs. Fabulous Moolah for the "Ladies Title" -Quite an aggressive match surprisingly. -Right when I actually started to like the match, it ended. Looks like even in 1986, they didn't #GiveDivasAChance.
*Nikolai Volkoff vs. Corporal Kirchner in a Flag Match -Nothing really special about the match at all. -Kirchner won and got to put his flag in the corner, so that's cool I guess.
*20 Man Battle Royal -Really enjoyable match. -I had no clue Bruno was in it. -The Hart Foundation were great in this match, as always. -Andre wins
*Greg Valentine and Brutas Beefcake vs. The British Bulldogs for the Tag Titles -One of the better matches on this show. -Greg Valentine wanted so badly to be Ric Flair. -Bulldogs win the titles.
Could they not afford mats to put around the ring for the Los Angeles portion of this show?
*Hercules Hernandez vs. Ricky Steamboat -Solid match -Steamboat wins
*Adrian Adonis vs. Uncle Elmer -No comment.
*Funk Brothers vs. Tito Santana & JYD -This match was waaaay too long.
*Hulk Hogan vs. King Kong Bundy for the WWF Title in a Cage Match -Between Hogan choking Bundy with that bandage and beating up poor Bobby Heenan after the match, I'm beginning to think Hogan was a heel. -Hogan escapes the cage and retains the title.
This was not an easy watch at all. Not the best Wrestlemania I've seen.

Why not,im impatient WWF WrestleMania XI A highlight reel of past celebrities starts us off before showing us tonight's celebs. Pamela Anderson,Jenny McCarthy, Jonathan Taylor Thomas,Nicholas Turturro from NYPD Blue,LTs NFL friends (who we later see includes Mongo), and Salt n Pepa. Some kid from the Special Olympics sings the National Anthem, there's some dude waving his arm like a bunghole the whole time. After shes done she receives a standing ovation. Tag Team Match The Allied Powers (Lex Luger & The British Bulldog) vs. The Blu Twins (Eli Blu & Jacob Blu) (w/Uncle Zebekiah)- Big pop for the Allied Powers. Bulldogs head is oddly shaped. Once again they carrying their respective flags. Zeb looks exactly the same, cept with long hair. Good sign as it starts off with trading punches.Bad Signthe Blus are a little sluggish. Bad sign as Luger almost power slams Eli/Jacob onto Bulldog on a dual power slam spot. Solid standard tag affair. Cheating, twin magic, a warm tag to Luger, and a sloppy sunset flip off the turnbuckle by Davey. WWF Intercontinental Title Match Jeff Jarrett (w/The Roadie) (c) vs. Razor Ramon (w/The 1-2-3 Kid)- Jarrett is as gaudy as ever. He looks like he's wearing tinfoil with electric tape on his legs,ass and crotch. Karate Kid cuts a decent barley audible promo before this match. Decent pop for Razor.Fink rolls the rs in Razors name, suck on that Lillian. Razor and Kid rush right in and chase off the Roadie as Razor gets a few licks in on Jarrett. Razors pyro goes off to a louder pop then he got. Interference ran rampant in this match. At point, Roadie attempts to interfere only to have Razor smash his head into part of the turnbuckle, sounded gnarly. Razor then dumps Jarrett out onto the Roadie. Not a good night for the D-O-Double G. Tons of media are around ringside, they to split to let Razor run into the ring. Kid uses karate poses to prevent JJ from leaving, twice. Razor over sells a shin breaker and a Figure Four. Kid tries to add leverage to Razors figure four reversal by grabbing Razors hands, some baby face. Razor is still selling the knee from the Rumble. Roadie causes a dq, then the three men brawl (Razor would join in later) and Kid hits some beautiful kicks. Razor joins the fray, refs storm the ring, they continue to go after each other before Jarrett and Roadie leaves,Jarrett sporting a bloody nose. After a clothesline to the outside JJ throws himself into the guardrail. Razor (or Billy Gunn later on) bounces off off the mat after a bodyslam. Singles Match (Special Referee: Larry Young) King Kong Bundy (w/Ted DiBiase) vs. The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer)- . Just like WM 9, cool entrance, bad match. DiBiase drops the urn, but the camera doesn't catch as it's too busy focusing on a guest ref nobody cares about (he was a ing umpire). Uppercuts, kicks, then Old School(to this day still impressive) which sadly doesn't signal an early end. Taker lands on his feet after getting clotheslined by Bundy, once again still impressive. He steals the urn back with no resistance from DiBiase, gets a big pop, as does him holding it up and giving it to Bearer. Taker gets back in works over Bundy. Kama comes down to steal back the urn. He runs up the ramp as we cut to a pip of JR admonishing Kama,who says he's going yo melt the urn into a necklace because black people. More hits,chokes, a long headlock spot. A sloppy body slam and his jumping clothesline brings the streak to 4-0. WWF World Tag Team Title Match The Smoking Gunns (Bart Gunn & Billy Gunn) (c) vs. Owen Hart & Yokozuna (w/James E. Cornette & Mr. Fuji)-Decent pop for Yoko, though despite making little noise,the camera pans over a booing audience. Solid, standard tag match. Owen slaps the piss out if Billy. Unintentionally funny botched elbow from Yoko. Some cool tag moves from the Gunns (a back suplex neckbreaker combo, arm wrench followed by Bart going nuts first onto the arm,etc.). Yoko almost botches a one armed bodyslam. Billy sells the Bonzai drop like a million bucks. I Quit Match (Special Referee: Roddy Piper) Bob Backlund vs. Bret Hart- What happens when you take two of the best wrestlers of their respective, if not all time and put them in what is basically a submission match...nothing exciting. Hot Rod gets one of the loudest pops of the night as does Bret. Piper asks if they quit during every submission, choke or even after taking basic moves (like a whip into the corner or a backbreak (best in the business)). Backlund over sells an Irish whip into the corner. Decent pop for three attempted sharpshooters. Awesome spot where Bret runs into the post and the camera is only a few inches away. Great pops for Bret working his way out of an arm bar, and reversing the cross face chicken wing into one of his own and pulling Backlund down to the mat. Good psychology as Bret targets Backlunds leg and Backlund targets Harts arm WWF World Heavyweight Title Match Diesel (w/Pamela Anderson) (c) vs. Shawn Michaels (w/Jenny McCarthy & Sid)- Jonathan Taylor Thomas is announced as the guest timekeeper, the girls go crazy for him and HBK. Nicholas Turturro is the guest announcer. Nash comes out to a pretty good pop. He brings out Pamela Anderson, who was missing earlier, she looks fantastic. Added story of Diesel knowing Shawn's tricks since he was in SIDS place before. Nash's tosses HBK out, HBK makes it look great, then he and Anderson pose. Nash throws HBK around, given HBKs size and selling it looks great. Shawn gets whipped into the turnbuckle and falls out onto one of the media cameraman, then HBK tosses the guy by the collar to the side. The fight goes outside as Shawn gets knocked into another cameraman. Nash tries an elbow but misses and lands into the post and the camera guy. Shawn works the ribs the rest of the match consistently, including a Cactus Jack style splash. HBK hits a nasty looking baseball slide. He tries twice for a Steiner mid rope bulldog, one hits spiking Nash onto his head, the other is countered into a sidewalk slam. HBK tries to fly over the top rope after a knee lift from Nash, but fails and settles for sliding out between the other two ropes. There's audible chants for Sid and HBK,foreshadowing! HBK takes an almost botched Jackknife. So happy this match delivered as a fan of both men. Singles Match Bam Bam Bigelow (w/Irwin R. Schyster, Kama, King Kong Bundy, Nikolai Volkoff, Tatanka & Ted DiBiase) vs. Lawrence Taylor (w/Carl Banks, Chris Spielman, Ken Norton Jr., Reggie White, Ricky Jackson & Steve McMichael)- Bigelow cuts a pretty good promo earlier. He says that he won't lose to LT at WM XI...yeah. Why? Why is this the main event? Why is Bigelow not in Bundys spot with Taker? Why are Volkoff and Bundy still on the pay roll? Anyway the Corporation and the All Pro team are introduced as a football lineup. During the footballers entrance we get a shot of Slat N Pepa in shorts, pretty sexy if I do say so myself. (The third one, either a dance or dj does too but we don't see her til Bigelows entrance) Bigelow comes out,scares Slat N Pepa, the one throws something at him and tires to go after, her band mates holding her back. LT comes out, in a 90s as fudge jumpsuit, and he bears a resemblance to Eddie from Family Matters. LT controls most of the early offense to a very loud crowd, off. Bigelow gets the advantage, applies a crappy Boston crab, he turns that into a leg lock, then another one. He hits his twisting moonsault, standing enzugiri and diving headbutt, before LT gets back on offense and wins. Credit were credits due, LT wasn't the worst celebrity I've seen in the ring. The Network version cuts out the rest of LTs celebration.

WM3 thoughts:
WM3 is visually so much more impressive than the previous two.
Not the best opener. Ace and Muroco seem like such a random pairing. This match does have its moments though.
βββββββββββββββββ
Billy Jack vs. Hercules is pretty boring, a major styles clash here.
βββββββββββββββββ
Could be the most humiliation ever, going from main eventing to midget matching for Bundy.
OMG! Mr Tβs mini me is on Hillbilly Jimβs team!
βββββββββββββββββ
I gotta feel that JYD is quite under appreciated. Good worker, good talker, one of the early pioneers for black wrestlers for sure. Especially to be as popular as he is.
Quick match, really not great.
βββββββββββββββββ
Not an enthralling match here with the Dream Team vs. Rougeaus but it wasnβt that bad. Lots of short matches here. Brutusβ face turn is bizarre.
βββββββββββββββββ
This match is actually better than I remember, and the ending segment afterwards is pretty cool. Adonis is hideous but heβs amazingly agile here. Adrianβs physique is bizarre because his legs are normal sized, then he has this horrible flabby torso.
Piperβs farewell match took place about 20 years before his final match.
βββββββββββββββββ
Jimβs hair looks stupid here, I remember he said he shaved it to make himself look like he was balding and he regretted it.
I wish this match had just been Bulldogs vs. Harts, they deserved to be able to have a classic 2v2 at Wrestlemania. This could be the worst outing the Bulldogs and Harts ever had together unfortunately.
Not a bad match at all, but the added Tito and Danny didnβt do the match any favours.
βββββββββββββββββ
Reed vs. Koko. Who the hell booked this match.
βββββββββββββββββ
Steamboat sucks on the micβ¦
The Savage/Steamboat match starts off good, and it slows down quite a bit as both guys get gassed badly. I think itβs pretty over rated, for the time you didnβt see many matches like it, but itβs not held up that well. Still a great match, but definitely not βthe best match everβ as a lot of people claim.
βββββββββββββββββ
Jakeβs promos are so good. His webbed tights here are awesome too. Not a bad match, it ran a little long though.
βββββββββββββββββ
Killer Bees are pretty popular. I always liked them, I think they could have stuck around longer and been a bigger deal for sure.
That doe-see-doe was unbelievably lame lol. That was one hell of a dropkick from Jumpinβ Jim.
Duggan acted like a total heel here.
βββββββββββββββββ
Man, no one could ever say that Hogan wasnβt over.
This match isnβt a technical masterpiece by any means, but it sure is a spectacle. Incredible atmosphere.

WM 3: Can Am def. Orton/Muraco- Not shabby. Can Am is fun to watch. Muraco was a BOSS back in the day. Still wondering where Randy got his charisma from because screw the Cowboy. Haynes/Hercules DC- Surprisingly decent match for two behemoth characters. Really impressed with Herc, I thought he sucked arse. Hillbilly Jim def. Bundy- the midgets. Race def. JYD- Some day JYD will get fair treatment...and since I know that never happens, Race. Valentine/Beefcake def. Rougeaus- Not shabby. Hilarious seeing Mountie as Not Mountie. Still hate Valentine, he's a good wrestler but sh*t in the way of charisma. Piper def. Adonis- All this was good for was the birth of the Barber. Fancy. Harts/Davis vs. Bulldogs/Tito- Bret is starting to turn into a superstar. Davis is entertaining as hell. Tito, only seven more cries of death left buddy. Reed def. Ware- So forgettable I forgot this match was a thing. Steamboat def. Savage- GOAT. Honkey def. Roberts- Roberts took it to Honkey early, was happy to see, but considering I knew the result thanks to the Honk-O-Meter, this was whatever. Sheik/Volkoff def. Killer Bees- Sheiky Baby is amazing...but why they're still employed is beyond me. Hogan def. Andre- Obviously the importance of this match in the history of professional wrestling is paramount. Watching TODAY, this match wasn't very good. But if I watched back then, I probably would have been drooling considering the ramifications of the match. You can tell Hogan was REALLY hurt by the end of the match.
