Over the years, there have been certain WrestleMania's where you can't help but wonder that better matches could have been booked, so let me start off by rebooking WrestleMania 25
WrestleMania 25
World Heavyweight Championship (Triple-Threat Match)
Batista (c) vs Randy Orton vs John Cena
How I would have booked it would be that I wouldn't have never had Batista get injured and he comes into this match as the World Heavyweight Champion winning the title at No Way Out 2009, with Orton winning the Rumble makes his WrestleMania decision and chooses to face Batista because back at Armageddon he should have ended Batista and he thought he did but Batista comes back only to become champion but that at Mania Orton says he is going to end Batista once and for all by not only taking the World Heavyweight Championship but also punting Batista this time out of the WWE and this time it will be for good only for John Cena to strong-arm his way into this match to make it a Triple-Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Orton goes over in this match to become the new World Heavyweight Champion
WWE Championship (Streak Match) (16-1 or 17-0)
Undertaker vs. Triple H (c)
How I would book this match would be that I would still have Triple H come in as WWE Champion but that Undertaker somehow becomes #1 Contender for the WWE Championship at Mania 25 with it having similar build-up to HHH/Taker WrestleMania 27 but 2 years earlier but with the WWE Title on the line to up the ante
Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels (Hell In A Cell)
Perfect way for them to end their rivalry once and for all, because I would have continued it coming into 2009 with them going back and forth with each other until they decide that it all needs to end, and what better way to end it than having it end at Mania inside Hell In a Cell, HBK would go over in this match to end this rivalry
Money In the Bank
Edge vs CM Punk vs Christian vs Shelton Benjamin vs MVP vs Mr. Kennedy vs Kane vs Big Show vs Kofi Kingston
I would have had Punk win this regardless but instead I had Edge replace Finlay in this match, and Punk just needed the victory here if you ask me but I would have had Kennedy come close to winning as well as Edge too by having La Familia try to help him but all the other participants stop that from happening, and I would have had Big Show replace Mark Henry in this MITB Ladder Match
ECW Championship
Jack Swagger (c) vs Finlay
If anything the ECW Championship needed to be defended at Mania and what better way for Swagger to make his debut than against Finlay with them putting on a good match but with Swagger going over retaining his ECW Championship
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Rey Mysterio vs JBL (c)
I wouldn't change anything about this match-up at all, Rey still wins and goes over
Extreme Rules Match
Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy
Still the same match but the only thing that I would change about it would be that I would have had this match go a little bit longer but with Jeff getting the win here
Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal
Still the same match but I would have had Beth win the battle royal or at least have Michelle McCool win it or even Melina for that matter

WrestleMania 19: Miller Light Cat Fight out, Kane & RVD vs. Storm & Regal in.
WrestleMania 27: Bryan vs. Sheamus on the main show, as the opener.
WrestleMania 25 would have benefitted from having Orton vs. Triple H as a Street Fight and having Jericho go one-on-one with Steamboat.
All terrible Playboy-themed Diva matches and horrible celebrity-involvement matches would be gone. WrestleMania 23, damn that show was broken beyond any repair I'm capable of.
That's all from me.

Fair enough build-up but it would be great if you could explain how you would book the matches and why

WM 23: Randy Orton vs. Edge: The storyline and feud was in place, but instead they were put in the MIBM which was turned in to a cluster at this point. Both of these guys have shown excellent chemistry together, and besides the world championship matches, the card was very weak. No idea why they had 2 stars of this magnitude put in the MIBM.

Wrestlemania 2000
WWF Championship Match: The Rock vs. Triple H
Intercontinental Championship Match: Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit
Kane vs. The Big Show
European Championship Match: Tazz vs. Kurt Angle
Ladder Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship: The Hardy Boys vs. Edge & Christian
Hardcore Championship Match: Crash Holly vs. Hardcore Holly
Six-Man Tag Team Match Rikishi & Too Cool (w/Chyna) vs. Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko
The Dudley Boys vs. X-Pac & Road Dogg
The main event should have ALWAYS been Rock vs. Triple H. Big Show and Kane is a bit random but both guys deserved to be on the card. The Angle-Jericho-Benoit match at Wrestlemania 2000 was good but singles matches would have been better, plus this scenario allows Tazz a substantial spot on the card. Scrap the Hardcore title match and make a straight up match between the Hollys, hopefully without a botched finish. The Hardys and Edge & Christian had the issues with one another and settling them at Wrestlemania, for the tag titles, makes sense. And X-Pac and Road Dogg would naturally want revenge against the Dudleys for Billy Gunn's injury the month before.

Adding Kane/RVD vs. Storm/Morely to Wrestlemania 19 immediatly pops into my head.
That should not have been a dark match.
I mean, they took a backseat to the Miller Lite Catfight Girls for crying out loud. Kitana Baker is hot but she's not THAT hot.

If I had the power to get HBK vs. The Rock to happen at WM 20, I would have that booked. Triple H & Benoit would have had a singles match. Then I would have added Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton in a singles match and I would have made one of the Tag Title matches a Dark Match & removed the Evening Gown Match. I guess there was no way to save Goldberg vs. Lesnar from being a travesty. WM 20 was great and really special but if it had Rock/HBK it may have been better than 17.

WrestleMania 21
Money In The Bank
Edge vs Jericho vs Shelton Benjamin vs Christian vs Booker T vs Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio vs Carlito Caribbean Cool
Instead of making it a RAW exclusive match, I would make it the first-ever Money In The Bank Ladder Match an inter-promotional match-up and instead of it being 6 men, I would make it 8 men Edge (RAW), Jericho (RAW), Shelton Benjamin (RAW), and Christian (RAW) and representing Smackdown would be Booker T (SD), Eddie Guerrero (SD), Rey Mysterio (SD), and Carlito Caribbean Cool (SD). I would have Edge win the first-ever MITB match with 8 men instead of 6.
Streak Match
Undertaker vs. Chris Benoit
I think that the 2 of them if they were to face each other and especially at WrestleMania 21, they would have put on a good match and with Benoit challenging the Streak, Benoit would have made a great streak opponent for Undertaker in that this match would be sort of like HBK/Taker from Mania 25 in terms of build-up with Benoit and Taker, and that Benoit says that he will beat The Undertaker and that he will make him tap out, and that he is not intimidated and Taker does his best to intimidate Benoit and he gets to Benoit but Benoit is also inside of Taker's head too. Taker would win this in a lengthy hard fought bout.
Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels
I wouldn't change anything about this feud, it was perfect at the time, and Angle would still go over HBK in this match, this match is probably one of the best Mania matches of all time in terms of build-up and its overall performance.
Big Show vs Kane
Instead of what we had with Big Show/Akebono at Mania 21, I would have had Kane and Big Show go up against each other at Mania 21 in a Battle of the Giants, King Kong that being Big Show goes up against Godzilla Kane and not only would bragging rights be on the line but also brand supremacy in the process and I would have had Kane turn heel for this, and Big Show be the face for this match and it would be an inter-promotional match-up with Kane representing RAW and Big Show representing Smackdown. I would have Kane go over.
WWE Championship
JBL (c) vs John Cena
I wouldn't change anything about this match-up at all, the build-up was actually pretty good, I thought, and I would still have Cena go over JBL in this match.
WWE Women's Championship
Trish Stratus (c) vs Christy Hemme w/Lita
I wouldn't change anything about this match-up at all except that I would have had Christy Hemme go over Trish at Mania with Trish putting her over, at least that way Christy she could have had a reign as Women's Champion, and her & Trish & Lita could have had a Triple-Threat Match for the WWE Women's Championship at some point.
World Heavyweight Championship (Triple-Threat Match)
Triple H (c) vs Batista (2005 Royal Rumble Match winner) vs Randy Orton
Then we would see the implosion of Evolution as we know it on the grandest stage of them all, and I would have added Orton into the mix and we get to see 3 former Evolution members go at it, with HHH trying to get Batista to go over to SD and Batista turns on HHH & Flair, but then Orton somehow gets into the match by strong-arming his way in it, and Orton in this match he wouldn't be a heel or a face as Orton would be more of a tweener in this match. Batista still goes over in this match by pinning HHH, to set up a feud with him & Orton for the title with Orton turning heel in the process.

Fully agree that Wrestlemania X8 should've been Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Perfect.
What a missed opportunity.

WrestleMania 2000. Just re-do everything about the show. They should've called that one WrestleMania Tag Team

I totally read the title as "Reebok At WrestleMania" lol
I don't really feel like listing a whole show but I would have had Kevin Nash vs Kane and Mr. Perfect vs Kurt Angle at 18

If Orton won at Mania 25 people would look at that PPV a lot differently. Jericho vs. the Legends was made a classic moment by Steamboat, HBK vs. Taker was what it was, and CM Punk wins his second MITB in a row, the only person to ever do it. Everyone just sees the glaring black eye that HHH going over in the main event gave Mania 25. Underrated Mania purely because of the finish on the main event.

I cant possibly do a whole card but i came up with a few little changes. WM 19-Kane/RVD vs. Storm/Morley instead of that cat fight bullshit WM 20-Orton/Batista vs. Rock n' Sock instead of the handicap WM 22-Scrap the pillow fight and give Orton/Angle/Mysterio more time but with Orton going over. WM 23-Orton vs. Edge instead of them being in the MITB WM 24-Cena or HHH vs. Batista so the WWE title match would have been Orton vs Cena/HHH WM 25-Jercho vs. Steamboat instead of the gauntlet WM 25-Orton vs. HHH-Last Man Standing with Orton going over WM 26-Hart vs. McMahon should have been more like McMahon vs. Hogan from 19. This match would have been alot better with more brawling and blood IMO WM 27-HHH/Taker or Edge/Del Rio on last. I dont understand what went wrong with this Mania but it just felt wrong. I think it might have been the lack of HBK tbh.

Orton winning would have made it better but the match they put on wasn't a very good main event in my opinion. Now, if it was a Street Fight or even a HIAC then it would have been better. They should have capped off The 25th Anniversary with something special. I would also like to blame Kid Rock Concert. Oh, and letting Santino win that battle royal made all the divas look like crap.
