It's a toss up really. 21: Had three great matches (MITB, HBK/Angle, Orton/Undertaker), two entertaining segments (Hogan's return and Piper's Pit with Stone Cold and Carlito), and two underwhelming main events. But it also had Big Show and Akebono. 25: Had one great match (HBK/'Taker), several entertaining matches (MITB, Triple Threat, Legends), one decent main event (the Triple Threat would've been a fine match as the main event at any other PPV, IMO), and one disastrous main event. But it also had Kid Rock and a Divas cluster .

JBL/Cena from 21 was more like HHH/Orton from wm 25 since they were both rushed

Both were saved by Shawn Michaels if that's what you mean. Yup. I completely agree with that list but I'd change Taker/Orton to Jeff/Matt because both were the second best matches of the show and Jericho/Legends to Rey/Eddie because Rey/Eddie was good but could of been better had Rey's mask not of kept falling off where when Jericho was in the ring with Steamboat it was great but when Jericho was in with Piper & Snuka it was awful.

I can understand but i'd compared hemme-stratus with jbl-mysterio... not divas with divas, akebone-show and diva royale were horrible.

Just think, two crappy main events one 5 star match, look Angle/HBK = HBK/Undertaker Batista/HHH = Orton/HHH JBL/Cena = Cena/Edge/Show MITB = MITB Undertaker/Orton = Steamboat/Jericho (That's My Opinion) Rey/Eddie = Jeff/Matt Trish/Christy = Divas Battle Royal Akebono/Show = Rey/JBL Piper's Pit with Austin = Austin Beer Bash I think Wrestlemania 25 is perfectly on par with Wrestlemania 21, but that's as far as matches go, I say WM 25 is a bit better due to it having the Wrestlemania feel to it. its interesting that you left out Eddie/Rey (first time tag team champs faced each other). Edge winning MITB, or Hogan making the crowd pop HUGE. I was there and they went nuts, myself and my sister, who is more of an indie mark. When you get an indie mark to pop hard for Hogan, yeah that makes it a good Wrestlemania. Oh and BTW to the people who think Michaels saved both shows, perhaps he is not the factor, but possibly his opponents being that great? (Angle & 'Taker)

21 was worth the money, 25 was not.
Simple enough.

By simply restructuring the card, they could have made WM25 much better. Good point Mr. Obvious!

I guess I'm one of the few who enjoyed the show, although I do think the ending to Orton/Triple H was a little lame.

You forgot about Eddie vs Rey which was one of the greatest openers ever on WrestleMania. I think WrestleMania 21 had more "WrestleMania" feel.

One of the worst things in a wrestling match , the crowd. Both crowds in "relevants/importants" were dead.
What was the problem? You can't put Kid Rock/Divas Battle Royal before the first half of the PPV and/or before the most importants matches. Put HBK / Taker - Divas Battle Royal - WHC - WWE.
If the match doesn't fulfill and the crowd is dead... well , awful in all the ways. And that was Randy Orton vs HHH (WM 25) for example.

Yea, but if you go back and watch WM21 main event, the crowd was into the match. Sure it started off slow, but people really got into it. WM25 main event was just dull and the crowd was silent through out the whole match. Even the ending. It was the worst main event at a WM, I have ever witnessed from the WWE.
