What's Your Least Favorite WrestleMania?

Of the old ones, probably 2. I stopped watching reguraly around 20 so I can't really judge much after that. I have seen the shows but I missed a lot of the build up and stuff to some more so than others.

27 was bad though. I begrudgingly went since it was in Atl, but it was terrible to me.

Most of the Wrestlemanias in the 20s were horrific aside from about 1 or 2 matches each that stole the show. It's almost impossible to say which is the worst because all of those Manias have blended into a big mess that I can't discern which match took place at which event bar a few obvious ones.

1 was good for the time, because they had never done anything like that before. But it was,outside the last 2 matches, a glorified MSG house show. But it was the original, so it's always gonna be a "thing".

2 was just pure wasted potential,and honestly has some really garbage matches on it ( Jake Roberts vs George Wells, Fabulous Moolah vs Velvet McIntyre, Cpl. Kirchner vs Nikolai Volkoff, Adrian Adonis vs Uncle Elmer). It seems Vince's strategy for Mania 2 was to just take the original, and make it bigger in every way EXCEPT match quality - more venues, more matches, more celebrities.

It wasn't until WrestleMania III that the event finally found it's true niche and became the biggest thing in wrestling.


WM 15 remains to this day the only PPV I fell asleep during while watching it live. Even WCW crap in 2000 didn't make me drowsy.

15 or 16; they aren't the worst WMs, but they are the ones with the most wasted potential. 2 disappointing WMs in the hottest period ever for the company.

That said, between WM 14 and WM 19 more or less every PPV was treated as big as WM. After 19 the difference between first and second tier PPVs really began to show. So whilst we got meh WMs like 16 we got great PPVs more or less all year (RR, Backlash, Fully Loaded, Summerslam, Armageddon etc. all in 2000).

1,2,9,11,15,16,25,26,27 all either completely sucked or left A LOT to be desired

WrestleMania 32

I have to disagree with those saying WM1 and WMIX. I enjoyed both of those events quite a bit.

At this point, I've seen every Wrestlemania. I do, however, think it's important to consider the original airing and how I viewed the show that very first time. Therefore, I'm only going to include Wrestlemanias that happened during my tenure as a fan that I saw live, which means 15-32.

With that being said, my least favorite is a tie between 29 and 32.

The next tier down would be 27, 25, and 23, and 22.

Wrestlemania 9 gets a lot of unnecessary hate. MOST Wrestlemanias have a match or two that are incredible, but then the rest of the card is a snooze fest. The standard of matches at Wrestlemania 9 far suprasses anything on the Wrestlemania 3 card that isn't Steamboat/Savage or (the spectacle of) Hogan/Andre.

Steiners/Headshrinkers is a hidden gem. One of the best tag matches at any Mania.
Tatanka/Shawn wrestled a good match, it'd have been much better if Tatanka got the belt as planned though.
Bret/Yoko was the best match Yoko ever had.
Gonzalez/Taker sucked, but still not as bad as Taker's matches with Bundy, Henry, Snuka, Sid etc.
Doink/Crush was awesome, THERE WERE TWO DOINKS.
Luger/Perfect was just about our only dose of the Narcissist Lex Luger gimmick, and there was nothing wrong the match itself. It finished perfectly so that Lex won and Mr Perfect didn't look too weak (as he was about to head into being the KOTR winner until things changed).
Maniacs/Money Inc would have been perfect if Maniacs got the tag belts. Ending kind of ruined it though.
Razor/Backlund was a squash, not much else to say.

The only major negative of the event that people focus on aside from the Taker match was the Hogan finish, which would have been fine if he'd put Bret over at Summerslam as originally planned.
