Definitely. It's one thing to watch it years later, on tape, DVD,or the Network. It's something else entirely to watch it live, while you're invested in the product, and see storylines you've been following culminate, I can say I saw ALMOST every Mania when it aired live. 1.2. and 3, no. Did the Coliseum Video thing with them ( not because I wasn't into the product, but because we had no closed circuit venues anywhere near here , and PPV wasn't even a thing here yet). WM2 was the first one I saw "live" at home on PPV. I don't remember where we went to see the first one. We did see it on closed circuit, but I don't remember where we went. It was someplace my father knew of through his job. the first PPV we had available here was the first Survivor Series. It was such a radical concept, and I instantly became a "big thing" with my junior high classmates,who all wanted to come over and see it live. |

WM7 for me. knew Hogan would win the belt. didnt care for any other matches except Warrior/Savage. but knew neither would really retire for good.

I wouldn't say it's the worst but WM32 has to be up there for the disappointing matches, deflating finishes, and the WWEs stubbornness to Romans failed push.

Any match with HBK winning, I've never been a fan of his, I've always hated him. As soon as he comes on I either fast foward or stop watching.
I didnt mind him when he was in the rockers because they were just jobbers.

I seriously believe that they purposly gave us ass-backwards finishes like AJ and Saha loosing, and denied us what could have been a match of the night candidate in Ambrose/Lesnar, just so nobody would overshadow Roman. |

My friends and I were expecting Ambrose - Lesnar to be the match of the night. To say it was a huge disappointment is an understatement. Even Shane - Taker didn't live up to expectations for me. |

The only thing Shane/Taker did was burry Ambrose even further than the Lesnar match did, with Shane kicking out of every Taker finisher while Ambrose went down to one F5. Dirt sheets reported Ambrose lobbied for more time and bigger spots, but was shot down by both McMahon and HHH. Likely as to not overshadow Shane/Taker (which was a one-spot match and nothing else) and Roman/HHH (a huge bore fest). |

25 and 27. They both sucked. WM25 only had one good match (Shawn Vs Taker), and WM27 only had 2 good matches (Edge Vs. Del Rio, and Undertaker Vs. HHH). 27 was far much worse than 25. But I honestly wouldn't put 25 in the top 10 worst Wrestlemania's, besides the main even being a bit bland. Everything else on the show was much more enjoyable. |

9 and 27 standout obviously. But as stated, in a few years looking back WM32 was pretty sloppy imo

Wrestlemania 4 for me. Too long a show and too many filler matches for a title tournament.

I'll probably get some flack for this but for me it is far and away Wrestlemania 1.
There's just nothing really watchable on that show anymore. I loved watching it when I was young but it hasn't aged well at all.
I respect it for what it has done for the wrestling business but it's a terrible show. The Andre/Studd "match" is probably the best part of the show and that says alot.

WM25 sucked so bad, except for Taker/HBK, Hardy/Hardy and the Cena/Edge/Big show match; the matches were pretty bad

Tons of people will say it, but I have to echo the sentiment that 9 is probably my least favorite one. So many cringe-inducing moments - Taker v. Giant Gonzales in general, Hogan winning the belt at the end for no reason.. ugh.
