Wrestlemania VII
This is my 2nd favourite Wrestlemania of all time. I had been into the WWF nearly two years at this point, but by the time Wrestlemania VII rolled around I was hooked big time! This was the last of the Wrestlemania's to have a ton of little matches, but actually there is not a single match on this show that I do not like! It is probably nostalgia, but I can watch this event any time and not fast forward a single part of it. The only "gripe" I have with the event is the way Demolition were treated like chumps. It should have been Demolition vs The Legion of Doom. Sure the match had happened before, but even if the LOD squashed them (which happened anyway against Tenryu & Kitao) it would have been better.
At the time Rockers vs Barbarian & Haku was the best opening match to a Wrestlemania in my opinion. I loved British Bulldog and Texas Tornado so those guys getting a win was huge for me as a kid. But Warrior vs Savage was where this event was at!!!!!
As a kid I was so pissed that Randy Savage cost the Warrior his title at Wrestlemania I was so desperate to see him get his ass kicked! This is one of my all time favourite matches. And while everyone gives Randy Savage all the credit, Warrior was in there too!

Wrestlemania XII People already did 11 and i don't feel like saying dud so this will be a short review
Free For All: Zip and Skip vs The Godwins For the Vacant WWF Tag Team Champions: It was a dark match so no official review but the Bodydonnas
Alright now the official Review
1.Camp Cornette vs Ahmed Johnson, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Yokosumo:** Eh okay opener Owen vs Bret is still the best opener of all time.
2. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs Goldust Back lot-brawl: **** I believe Piper won this match even though everyone says it's a no contest this match was fun wit the car chases and that one weird thing with Goldust in his..I won't say it, but this one of my dad's favorite matches of Wrestlemania history.
3.Steve Austin vs Savio Vega: ** Gotta make Austin Look Strong.
4.Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR: DUD Poor Hunter, not a good way to have Warrior's last WWF Match be this.
5.Undertaker vs Diesel: ***1/2 Finally Taker has a good mania match good for Taker.
6. Bret "Hit-man" Hart(c) vs "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels(w/ Jose Lothario): ****1/2 i don't care if there were too many rest holds Bret Hart did a Suicide dive HBK Over selled as always this was an awesome match.
Overall: 8/10 Good show Taker finally had a good match The Iron Man Match was great, The Backlot brawl was hilarious i liked this show.

That backlot brawl is 4 stars to you? Kay.

WrestleMania IX:  I spoken in length about this event before,but i'll do it again here... WrestleMania IX was an interesting event. it was the first outdoor Mania. it was the first Mania to feature no celebrities as part of the program ( Natalie Cole in the crowd and "Caesar and Cleopatra", Caesar's Palace character workers, don't count) , it was the first WWF event for Jim Ross, and it was the first mania for many new,incoming stars: The Headshrinkers The Steiner Brothers Bob Backlund Razor Ramon Luna Vachon Doink Lex Luger Giant Gonzalez Yokozuna ...and it was the LAST Mania appearance of Hulk Hogan for over 9 years. this was a very transitional Mania. they weren't quite to the "New Generation" yet...but they were firmly leaving the 80's Era behind. it was also the debut Mania for Bret Hart as the top guy,but before the night was over he'd get overshadowed by the spectre of hulk hogan again, making one last grab at WWF immortality. it wasn't a bad Mania, there were a few good matches here, and the atmosphere in the place due to the Roman Coliseum theme was unique. but you could tell the WWF was trying to find it's direction at this point, a fact that would be illustrated all throughout the year,especially at the main event level. it was also the smallest Mania up to that point, with only 8 advertised matches and 1 unannounced "Bonus match" that brought it up to 9 total,tying the first Mania. overall,I had fun with this. the IC match ,Luger-Perfect, and Doink-Crush were fun contests, and the Steiners-Headshrinkers was a brutal encounter for the WWF in 1993. on the other hand,it features a lackluster Main Event and aftermath, Undertaker's worst Mania match ever,Macho Man wasted on commentary, and the fans crapping all over Bob Backlund. not the worst Mania ever, and gets seriously underrated sometimes. but I would put it in the bottom 10 Mania's of all time. this was the beginning,though we didn't know it at the time, of a long period of the WWF and WrestleMania losing it's luster for awhile. |

WrestleMania X :  we finally reached the 10th Anniversary of WrestleMania in 1994... I wish I could say it was a joyous occasion. with the Steroid Trial still looming over his head, Vince McMahon and the WWF entered 1994 depleted. most of the big 80's stars were gone,and this year was more or less the official launch of the "New Generation"... many new stars were on the roster, but ratings and buyrates were down, the Lex Luger experiment failed to usher in a "New Hulk Hogan", and wrestling itself had lost the luster of the high's it had reached just a few years earlier... but this uncertain environment also created opportunities. previous lower-card guys like Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon stepped up, Owen Hart became a force,newer guys like diesel, Jeff Jarrett, and The Smoking Guns would have the opportunity to become stars,and Bret Hart officially became THE man in the WWF. this Mania also had the distinction of not only being the first with 2 official World title matches,but was also the last one to air in the afternoon on the east coastand the last wrestling appearance of Macho Man Randy Savage not only at WrestleMania,but in the WWF period.. it wasn't a terrible Mania,but it certainly isn't one of the best,either. the depleted roster did hurt the caliber of matches we would see, but the WWF did the best it could with what it had. there were 2 really outstanding matches - Bret vs Owen in the opener, and the Ladder match between Razor and Shawn - but the rest of the card was adequate at best, with some real stinkers like MoM vs The Quebecers and Adam Bomb vs Earthquake, which was really just a vehicle for Howard Finkel vs Harvey Whippleman. at least Burt Reynolds was happy to be there! Bret said in his book that Burt was the most excited,happiest celebrity he saw in all his year's of Mania. and the 2 special guest referee's were not only surprises,but also contributed more than just standing around. sadly...I can't endorse this as a truly great Mania, or even really good. it was mostly average. |

Man I am way behind some of you guys lol.
Wrestlemania VIII
I have such fond childhood memories of this event. In the UK I think that 1992 was the fever pitch for the WWF. On Sky Movies (yes WWF PPVs used to be on the movie channel) they aired No Holds Barred before they aired Wrestlemania VIII and it was freaking awesome!
Anyway the opening match was a great start I loved Shawn Michaels and I was a fan of Tito Santatna so this was a great match for me. The whole event actually was pretty damn awesome. I still though to this day do not know what the point in having the Legion Of Doom there to cut a live arema promo was and not have them wrestle. Was one of them injured?
Roddy Piper vs Bret Hart was amazing and I think that it still holds up really well to this day. Bret getting the win was huge and I remember flipping out big time when he did.
Now I know that some people wanted Hogan vs Flair, but at the time and even now I am actually happy with the way things played out. Savage vs Flair was a great match and I was just so behind Savage....... a far cry from a year earlier when I hated his guts and wanted him to lose his retirement match. The way Savage "cheated" to get the win was really cool. One thing I always thought funny about this match was during the interview with Randy Savage and Elizabeth after the match, Elizabeth would crap her pants every time Savage would turn around..... it is probably just me, but I found it funny.
Hogan vs Sid was and still is a match I enjoyed..... even if Hogan really was the heel here and Sid was the one who had the right to be pissed off! Hogans entrance here is one of the most under rated in Wrestlemania history. This entrance right here captures what Hulk Hogan was all about more than any other. The actual match may have been a bit slow paced, but it was still a match I enjoyed as a kid. And I can honestly say I leaped off the sofa when Warriors music hit! He was my hero as a kid and I had no clue where he was, but all I knew was he was gone and I was not sure when he was coming back. So to see him come in and make the save was amazing!
If you are not to keen on this Wrestlemania because you wanted Hogan vs Flair still go back and watch Hogans entrance it is amazing.

yeah,something happened along the lines of LOD not signing a new contract or something, which led Vince to quickly take the Belts off them. they left the company for about a month or so,but then came back in time for Mania VIII, but as all the slots were already filled, and there wasn't enough time to build up a feud for them. so they justdid a promo/interview appearance instead.

Wow, I failed. I'll try to catch up. no catching up needed man! everyone is watching these at their own pace. not to mention, I skipped 5 of them in the watching order already: WM 2 - which I hate, and refuse to watch. WM 4 - too long. maybe I'll come back to it before I'm done,though. WM 5 - watched the main even,skipped the rest WM 7 - only watched Savage - Warrior, skipped the rest WM 11 - terrible show, also refuse to watch it. |

(Sighs) I don't think i want (sighs) Here's my review of Wrestlemania 13 #CanYouFeelTheHeat ((sighs) i actually thought Sid vs Taker would be good)
1.The New Blackjacks vs.The Headbangers vs The Godwins vs Some guys #1 Contenders Tag team match: * From this opener i really couldn't get into this, the headbangers won and had they're moment but this is unmemorable.
2. Rocky Maivia (c) vs The Sultan(W/ Shieky Baby and Bob Backlund) IC Title: DUD Hey it's Rikishi, man this was sucked i didn't enjoy it.
3. HHH(W/Chyna) vs Goldust (w/Marlena): * No Comment
4. The Hart Foundation (c) vs Mankind and Vader Tag Team Titles:* again another count-out Vince you idiot!!!
5. Bret Hart vs Steve Austin KO Match: ****1/2 Everyone says this is he best Mania Match of all time, you know i liked it, i got into but i think it's a bit overrated don't get me wrong i like it but i'm not a fan of the ending i don
t know why, but i just didn't like the ending but i do recommend this match to watch
6. LOD and Ahmed Johnson vs Nation of Domination Chicago Street Fight: * Don't care
7. Sycho Sid(c) vs The Undertaker No-DQ WWF Championship: *** 1/2 you know i was actually expecting this to be a stellar match but it was average i really was disappointed but eh it was fine.
Overall: This show wasn't good, they actually gave tickets away for free to fill up the arena so i give it 5.25/10.

7.Kane(w/ Paulie the Bearer) vs The Undertaker:**** This was a good match three tombstones overall very solid the Pete Rose thing is the second best of the Tombstoneing Pete Rose Saga.
8."The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels(w/HHH and Chyna)(c) vs "The Texas Rattlesnake" Stone Cold Steve Austin WWF Championship Special Enforcer "Iron" Mike Tyson: **1/2 Wasn't very Impressed Michaels had a bad back, but i did like the part where Tyson knocked out Michaels because Steve Austin is a "Very respectable athlete.
Overall: It's sad to say this sucked but it was average i would've enjoyed the Main Event if They didn't do that casket spot at the rumble, so i'll give 5.5/10

I am missing out IX and X........ not for any particular reason to be honest lol.
Wrestlemania XI
I had been a wrestling fan for about 6 years by the time Wrestlemania XI came about, but this was the first time that I had 5 other friends who were all as die hard wrestling fans as I was. So the New Generation era of pro wrestling has always been a firm favourite of mine. Back in 1995 in the UK we got the PPV's as part of our regular Sky Sports subscription and we actually started to get WWF RAW, which would air on a Friday at 5pm. So what I am trying to say is that I have very strong nostalgic feelings for this time in the WWE so that may cloud my judgement a wee bit. During this period we also had the most amazing, Pannini WWF Sticker Book that was ever created! The packets would have either Razor, Diesel, Hitman, Taker or HBK on them and me an each of my friends would bug the guy in our local store for a particular packet as I for example always felt the Razor Ramon packets had the best stickers.
Here are a few of my selective memories from the show (in other words I cannot be bothered to critique the whole show)
I really enjoyed the Allied Powers vs Jacob & Eli Blu, I think that the Allied Powers had all the makings of a great team and I kind of wished they went on a bit further, but at the same time Luger leaving meant we got Owen & Bulldog working together which was pretty awesome.
I was so looking forward to seeing Bret Hart kick Bob Backlunds ass after what happened at the 1994, Survivor Series. The match was not that great to be honest and even back then I felt it was a bit boring. Bob was actually the inspiration for a game me and my friends would play where we could randomly slap each other in the cross face chicken wing when people were not expecting it.
Shawn Michaels vs Diesel was and still is awesome. I had been a Shawn Michaels fan since his days in the Rockers so I really wanted him to beat Diesel (who I also liked) I think this was a really fun and as a teenage boy the addition of Jenny McCarthy and Pam Anderson was much appreciated!As good as the match was there are a few things that stick in my memory. First of all the press at ringside..... were these real press there? or were they fakes the WWE hired to make the match look like a bigger deal. All I know is they got on mine and Shawn Michaels nerves! Also the botched power bomb! which is what many people remember from the match which is a shame as the rest of the match was a lot of fun.
The main event of Bam Bam Bigelow vs LT was a bit lost on me and my friends. First of all, Bam Bam Bigelow was not that big of a deal. I mean before this he was not a main event guy to us. And secondly we had no freaking clue who LT was! And this is the main event of Wrestlemania? The match I felt was horrible and I still do to this day!
Some people hate this Wrestlemania and I can kind of see why, but this is still not near the bottom of my list of worst Wrestlemanias. But I will always admit that nostalgia is a huge reason I have fond memories of this show.

WrestleMania XII:  going into 1996, the WWF had a clear direction for the future. that direction seemed to be the ascension of Shawn Michaels to the top of the company,and the main storylines revolved around leading to this crowning moment. and what a moment we were expecting! an hour long "Iron Man" Match between the Heartbreak Kid and the WWF's ring general Bret Hart. on paper, it had the potential to be THE best match in WWF history. in execution,however,it was a bit of lackluster affair, with tons of rest holds broken up bty the occasional high-flying spot. only the last 5 minutes brought forward the anticipated excitement we hoped for,and a controversial overtime victory sealed not only Michaels place at the top of the company,but planted a seed for the future that would erupt beyond what anyone could have expected in 1997. the undercard for this Mania was decent. a 6-man match ignited new feuds, we saw a "Stone Cold" Mania debut, the return of the Ultimate Warrior, the Undertaker's stiffest challenge (pun intended) and a concept never before seen on WWF television with the "Hollywood Back Lot Brawl". that said,this Mania also had the lowest amount of matches ever,to make way for the hour long main event, was noticeably missing people like Razor Ramon ,who gave Vince his notice, and the 1-2-3 Kid. also,this was one of the few mania's featuring no celebrities at all. The Diesel-Taker match was actually quite good for 2 huge men going at it, and the Backlot Brawl was violent fun,with an over-the-top ending. interestingly enough,there never was any "official" winner to it. I guess Piper is basically considered the victor,but there was no referee,hence no actual decision either way. we also had Vader's first Mania, while simultaneously witnessing Yokozuna's last mania.this was also the debut mania for Savio Vega,Steve Austin,Triple H,Ahmed Johnson,and Goldust,as well as the non-wrestling debut of Marc Mero in the WWF.there was also interest in the 6-man match to see if Yoko would get his hands on Cornette. and the Warrior still brought excitement to his short match, in which the world was first introduced to Sable. however the Austin-Vega match was nothing special... It's not one of the best Mania's,but I don't consider it one of the worst,either. it fell right in the middle of the pack somewhere.I enjoyed a lot of it,but if the main event only lived up to the stellar reputation we expected from both competitor's, it would likely be in the upper echelon of the best WrestleMania's ever. |

WrestleMania 13 Heat :  1997...what a year! you had the onslaught of WCW and the red-hot nWo, you had the rise to national prominence of ECW, and you had the WWF beginning the full=fledged steps down the road to the Attitude Era. and WrestleMania also emraced this newfound,anything goes,rebellious attitude. this was also one of the most changed Mania's of all time,as the card kept fluctuating as 2 of the expected to be prominent stars - Shawn Michaels and Marc Mero - were injured,and the sudden return of the LOD required some last minute fine-tuning to shoehorn them in.all told,it actually was an exciting Mania,and one I particularly enjoy. the main event was sadly a letdown,as a slow,plodding affair know more for the Undertaker FINALLY getting another Championship reign rather than the caliber of the match. the undercard was quite good,though. featured lots of hard=hitting action, the emergence of Chyna as a force, the Mania debut of the future "Great One", an exciting and hardcore (for the time) Chicago Street Fight,and a little match between Bret Hart and Steve Austin that is only considered as one of the best in Mania history!it was also the first time,to the best of my knowledge,that a "double switch" between 2 wrestlers was done simultaneously during a match. however the Tag title match was a bit of a mess,and the main event,as I said before, was subpar.plus it also featured the New Blackjacks...."shudder"... but 1997 was a watershed year for the WWF. Vince and the company would finally find direction,and a year later would never look back again! as a side note,this was another Mania with no celebrity involvement. |

WrestleMania XIV - DX Raided  after the turmoil of 1997 and the Montreal Screwjob, the WWF was full-tilt into the Attitude Era come 1998. it was like the seeds planted years ago were finally bearing fruit, as the younger guy were finally rising to the top,riding the wave of Austin 3:16. everything seemed to firing on all cylinders for the WWF, and one of the big reasons for the turnaround was Mike Tyson. this one celebrity gained the WWF the national exposure it once so readily gained. factor in edgy new stars like Kane,The Rock, Ken Shamrock, Sable, and the New Age Outlaws, along with new spins on classic stars like Mankind, Goldust, The Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels, and you had a whole new product for a whole new audience. one of the big stepping stones to this new Era was the need for a successful WrestleMania. in all honesty, this was a pretty good,but not great Mania. but it had something...that vibe...it just FELT like the greatest thing in the world at the time. plus it culminated feud's and angles that had been building for a long time - Kane vs Undertaker, Ken Shamrock vs The Rock, NAO vs Foley, Triple H vs Owen, the implosion of the Sable-Marc Mero relationship, and the ascension of Stone Cold to the #1 spot in the company,something fans had been clamoring for nearly a year. we also saw what was expected to be the end of Shawn Michaels,and his passing of the torch to Austin. sadly,this almost didn't happen,as Michaels had threatened not to even show up. it was a shame that his WWF career ended on such a sour note...or so we thought.and it featured the beginning of the end for the previous reigning top Diva, sunny, and the ascension of the newest one, Sable. this Mania also brought back the celebrities,though in keeping with the edgire attitude theme, we got a lineup of "disgraced" celebrities - Gennifer Flowers, the former mistress of the current President... Pete Rose, banned for life from basebsll... and Tyson ,convicted of rape and trying to break back into boxing.... saywhat you will,but tyson and Pete Rose were definitely into their roles, bringing a sense of fun back to the product.... WrestleMania XIV wasn't the greatest Mania of all time, but it sure was fun and exciting! and it seemed to give fans just what they wanted...and the WWF would never look back over it's shoulder again... The Card: 15 Team Battle Royal for the #1 Contendership to the WWF Tag Team Championship WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku vs Aguila WWF European Champion Triple H, w/ Chyna vs Owen Hart - Chyna handcuffed to Commissioner Slaughter during the match. "Marvelous" Marc Mero and Sable vs The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust and Luna Vachon WWF Intercontinental Champion The Rock vs Ken Shamrock WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws vs Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie The Undertaker vs Kane, w/ Paul Bearer WWF Champion Shawn Michaels vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - Special Enforcer "Iron" Mike Tyson Celebrities : Gennifer Flowers, Pete Rose, Mike Tyson |

WrestleMania XV - The Ragin' Climax  coming into 1999, the WWF was unquestionably back on top. deep into the "Attitude Era" , and the Austin phenomenon was bigger than ever, folloed closely by the love/hate relationship the fans had with the newly Main Event-Level Rock... it should be no surprise these 2 were on a collision course in what was being hyped as the biggest Mania main event since Hogan-Andre. the WWF was firing on all cylinders, they had tons of stoylines in place,lots of new talent, all leading to the biggest mania of all time! didn't quite work out that way. I actually don't like this event. it felt "over-booked"... there was basically no matches that didn't involve some kind of surprise,some kind of turn,some kind of craziness. it truly was Vince Russo Gone Wild! there were some odd choices as well - for months Billy Gunn pursued the Intercontinental Chmpionship, while Road Dogg fought over the Hardcore title. yet when it came time for Mania, they switched Road dogg to the IC level, while Billy gunn competed for the Hardcore Title!  the matches,besides a spirited encounter between X-Pac and Shane McMahon featuring one of the biggest swerves of all time, and the Main Event itself, seemed kind of lackluster. not terrible,but just okay. as hyped as this Mania was, as great as it was supposed to be....eh. I can truly say this was the one and only PPV I ever fell asleep watching. and for a supposed "Climax", nothing was settled in any of the matches. indeed,it almost felt like this Mania was just being used to try and get people to tune into RAW the next night to see the next part of what happened in these matches. it's certainly not the WORST Mania,but it's not one of the best either. I think the main problem is, it's a decent-ish Mania, but it was so hyped,so anticipated, it's was supposed to be Wrestling Nirvana shown to us for 3 hours on our TV screen's! and it didn't live up to that pre-event hype. also, one of the worst Hell in a Cell matches ever! but at the end of the night,we got to see Austin as the flagbearer once again,which everyone wanted, and the rock begin to truly cement his legacy as one of the best ever. when it comes down to it, WrestleMania XV was all about Austin vs Vince McMahon's proxy The Rock. and on that level at least,it delivered what the people wanted to see. and it was nice to see Pete Rose continue his storyline from the tear before in a nice surprise! this Mania would also sadly be the final one for both Gorilla Monsoon and Owen Hart before their deaths. THE CARD: WWF Hardcore Champion Billy Gunn vs Al Snow vs Hardcore Holly WWF Tag Team Champions Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart, w/ Debra vs D'Lo Brown and Test, w/ Ivory Brawl for All Match - Butterbean vs Bart Gunn Mankind vs "Big Show" Paul Wight - To Determine The Referee For The Main Event WWF Intercontinental Champion Road Dogg vs Ken Shamrock vs Val Venis vs Goldust, w/ Blue Meanie and Ryan Shamrock Triple H vs Kane WWF Women's Champion Sable vs Tori WWF European Champion Shane McMahon, w/ Test vs X-Pac The Undertaker, w/ Paul Bearer vs The Big Boss Man - Hell in a Cell Match WWF Champion The Rock vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Celebrities : Pete Rose, Boys II Men |

So yeah I'm far behind, I still plan on watching every Wrestlemania it's just going to take me longer!
I love this WM theme.
Martel vs. Koko seems a little random, but I’m a fan of Martel as the model. Koko’s improved drastically too since the past couple Wrestlemanias.
—————————————————
Andre getting a jobber entrance is weird. Never been a fan of the colossal connection. I’ve seen this match tons of times, that Demolition pop is awesome.
Heenan selling that punch was great.
—————————————————
I’m a big Earthquake fan, I always thought this match was pretty good.
The start of Earthquake’s Wrestlemania 4-0 streak!
—————————————————
Boo Brutus. I can’t believe they wasted Perfect’s winning streak on Brutus.
—————————————————
Piper painting himself is kinda cool, but this match is terrible.
—————————————————
Hart Foundation attire is so awesome. Too short but I love this match to death.
—————————————————
Lol at the pre-match promo, Gene forgot to mention that he only got 1 win. Barbarian is a beast, though I have no idea why he’s still dressed like a power of pain. Poor Tito can’t catch a break at WM.
—————————————————
Sweet Sapphire was more over than 90% of the current roster lol.
I actually really like Sherri with Macho. That’s one sweet ass attire too. I also think Dusty’s polka dots made him more interesting tbh.
Jesse is really laying into Sapphire’s weight, it’s hilarious.
—————————————————
Warrior promo is awesome, I had no idea what he was saying though. Hogan waffled on about crap.
Brilliant match. Though The Rockers should have won, some of those spots were great. Especially the somersault that Janetty did.
—————————————————
How did Dino Bravo keep getting Wrestlemania matches… Vs. Jim Duggan? Jeezus.
—————————————————
I totally forgot about this match, it’s so cool that they kept this feud going for a full year. I quite like this match.
—————————————————
Woah what a squash.
—————————————————
DDP driving the car always makes me laugh.
Greg is a very impressive guitarist I must say, he’s getting an electric sound out of that acoustic. And half the time he’s not even playing it. Mental guitar playing is about all we can ever aspire to achieve.
—————————————————
Love Rude but hate Snuka. Not even a talent like Rude could bring a good match out of a craphore like Snuka.
—————————————————
I absolutely love this match. For anyone who ever says that neither of these guys can work a match, this is proof enough that they’re wrong. Warrior has such a fantastic look, it’s easy to see why so many people (me included) wanted to look like that. Warrior to me is what Hogan should have looked like.
Overall I love this Wrestlemania, IMO we’re right in the peak of Wrestlemanias here. One of the best for sure.

Wrestlemania XIITo say me and my friends were excited for Wrestlemania XII is an understatement. There was five of us at this point who were all huge wrestling fans and we had a ,ot of fun having a competition where we would bet on how many pinfalls, submissions, count outs, DQs and who would win in general in the Iron Man match. It was all we would talk about for weeks! The Iron Man MatchI stayed up until about 3AM and watched the show live....... .and what a  ing disappointment. First of all Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels are my two all time favourites!But the Iron Man match is the most over rated match in WWE history. People can say what they want, but to me it was boring as live and it is even more boring on repeat viewings. Nothing happens!!!!!! The last few minutes are exciting, but that is it. Neither Bret or Shawn were able to put their egos aside and really tear down the house with an exciting match. You just know that neither man was willing to take the first fall! The problem is this match now is something that a small minority of people seem to think you have to say you love in order to be a true wrestlig fan...... I will take Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart from the 1992 Survivor Series over this any day. The Rock vs Triple H, Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar and even John Cena vs Randy Orton were more exciting than this! Big Daddy Cool vs UndertakerDiesel was so ing cool at this time to me he was the anti hero before Stone Cold Steve Austin. I actually love this match and I have always felt that Kevin Nash was much better than people gave him credit for. The Return Of The Ultimate Warrior!I loved this!!! The attire, the cool entrance and the way he no sold the Pedigree! Warrior is awesome and I was sure he would be WWF Champion in no time after his return!
