WMIV as one of the worst!? Nope I'm out. If you have two hours to spare watch OSW review of Wrestlemania 9. Will do. 9 sucked but WMIV(4) is one of my all time favorite Manias. I still watch it periodically.

19 is the best, closely followed by 17. 24 was great too. I enjoyed 28. 30 seemed pretty good but 'Taker losing brings it down big time.
Not sure about the worst but 15 and 16 should both be up there.

Everyone Hogan main evented for the worst. I know everyone has their own opinion, but this is pure insanity. And 9 is highly underrated. Hell 27 is miles worse. I can't really talk about it in too much detail, as I wasn't alive for a couple of them. (only the first few.) But they're just boring. It's a completely different world in the 80's-early 90's, man.

28 doesn't belong as one of the best. No way. I'd say it's one of the 10 worst. 20 belongs in there on the back of the main event, Eddie/Angle and the Evolution/Rock & Sock Just wondering, what did you not like about 28?

After Taker/Trips and Punk/Jericho (which would go on to have much better matches post WM) there was nothing else on the card... oh and Rock Cena once in a lifetime til next year. While this match would end up better than their sequel that would come a year later it was still a 30 minute match that easily could have been serviceable at 20.

Yeah but you just said WMXX because of three matches....does one extra good match make a huge difference? On a side note, I don't know why it's seemingly become popular to say WMIX is "underrated". Zero good matches, a few that are decent but nothing special and some truly awful WOAT moments. You would have found just as good if not better matches on RAW at the time.

BEST Wrestlemania 17 While its cool to hate on the Attitude Era these days, Wrestlemania 17 to me is what a Wrestlemania is all about. If I had only one wrestling show to make a non fan watch it would be this one each and every time. Even something as ridiculous as the Hardcore Title felt important at this show. I watch this how at least once a year and I can honestly say I never hit the "next" button on my remote once. Wrestlemania 7 This was really the last Wrestlemania that would have a bunch of small mini matches making up the undercard. Texas Tornado vs Dino Bravo, Warlord vs Bulldog, Rockers vs Barbarian & Haku and Tito Santana vs The Mountie were all really fun matches. Add to this Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan vs Sgt Slaughter and two of the most under rated matches from this era. Big Bossman vs Mr Perfect and The Hart Foundation vs The Nasty Boys. And Wrestlemania 7 is one of my all time favorite PPV's. Wrestlemania 8 The next year I felt also had an amazing Wrestlemania. Say what you want about the show not having Hogan vs Flair, but I am glad. Savage vs Flair is a classic and I actually really enjoyed Hogan vs Justice. Hogans entrance in this match gets me pumped up every time I watch it and the return of the Warrior was just so unexpected. I also really enjoyed the Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper match and the Shawn Michaels vs Tito Santana match as well. Wrestlemania 12 My favorite era of wrestling is the New Generation era and this is the Wrestlemania of that era. Now I love the whole card....... except the main event. To me Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels could not put their egos aside to blow the roof off the arena instead we got a boring as hell match with little sparks of excitement. But as a teenager I loved seeing Diesel vs Undertaker and I am not ashamed to admit that back in 96 I was cheering for Diesel. I will fully admit that this Wrestlemania makes my list purely based on my nostalgia for it more so than the quality. Wrestlemania 19 This is just a stacked show from beginning to end! Matt Hardy vs Rey is one of the more under rated Wrestlemania matches, but when the card has bouts like Rock vs Austin, HBK vs Jericho, Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle and even Hogan vs Vinnie Mac. Some matches will always get lost in the shuffle. In all this is just a really great show. But I have always wondered how many of the tickets sold for this event were "corporate" tickets as for much of the show the fans seem to be really quiet. WORST Wrestlemania 25 There was nothing horribly wrong about this show, but it was just middle of the road average in every single way. The whole event felt like it was on auto pilot without anything really memorable happening. Wrestlemania 9 Yeah what else is there to say about this event. Nothing seemed to click at all here. Tatanka vs Shawn Michaels and Mr Perfect vs Lex Luger and Head Shrinkers vs The Stieners are half decent, but they are only memorable for me because of how boring the rest of the event was. Wrestlemania 26 Much like Wrestlemania 25 to me, Wrestlemania 26 was just so instantly forgetable. Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels was a ton of fun and to be honest I did enjoy Batista vs John Cena. But the rest of the card again to me felt like I was watching matches that could have easily been on an episode of RAW. And I cannot think of any other Wrestlemania's to list here. These are the only three that I would go out of my way to avoid ever watching again!Any more I listed would be me doing so just for the sake of it so I will stick with just these three.

WM17 is the best for me.
BUT
The decision to turn Austin heel was so utterly idiotic and detached from crowd sentiment that you have to wonder what on Earth they were thinking. It isn't as bad as Austin's turn @ Invasion BUT it is terribly misconceived and dreadfully executed. It has left a bad taste in my mouth.
I know some on this board will say Austin was afraid of Rocks popularity and wanted to go heel(which is utter rubbish)but even if he was.... Rock was disappearing until July so its a non issue.
bah.

Best: 30 19 21 20 17 26 Not really sure of a 7th.
Worst: 1 but it gets a pass due to impact. 11 9 27 12 (understandable due to time constraints) 13 15

Zero good matches, a few that are decent but nothing special and some truly awful WOAT moments. You would have found just as good if not better matches on RAW at the time. I listed the top 3 matches in my opinion from wrestlemania XX... it also had Christian/Jericho which was great and Cena/Big Show which was a really solid opening match and a better match than Cena/Rock. Add in 2 solid tag team matches, the decent cruiserweight battle royal and the good yet far too short Women's match. XX was much better than 28...

Best: WM 17 (standard) WM 19 (standard) WM 7 (last great classic Wrestlemania) WM 9 (I enjoy the hell out of it ) WM 14 (watched it with the Raws from 98 and its surprising how much bigger it feels for that time period) WM 16 (some fun matches, triangle ladder, hardcore battle royal, the main event was good beside the end, ic/euro match) The rest are too hard to pick one out, WM 21 had too many one on one matches, 22 lacked that big time feel (irony for theme tune), 23 and onwards just dont click for me for some reason. Worst: WM 28 (dont think I've ever seen a WM that made me feel like I didnt enjoy the last 4 hours like this one) WM 11 (Not a lot happened in this one, In Your House: WrestleMania really) WM 15 (Special edition Raw episode) WM 8 (WM 1 is worse by card but its WM 1, WM 8 outside of the two stand out matches bored me when I did a proper review of it) WM 25 (its amazing that if the HHH/Orton match was a no dq vengeance filled brawl then it would probably make the top 7)
