What WrestleMania Matches do you feel are very underrated from WrestleMania I - WrestleMania 31?
WrestleMania VII: Warrior/Savage. It was a classic, but is not discussed a lot. ****1/2
WrestleMania VIII: Flair (C)/ Savage. Another great match with a good story. ****1/2
WrestleMania XIV: Michaels (C)/Austin. Especially for the condition of Shawn's back, this was still a really good match, and Austin was made into the "guy", here. ****
WrestleMania X-Seven: Angle/Benoit. They had classics, later on, that were way better than this match -- however, this was still great, and the pure wrestling was on another level compared to most in the Attitude Era. ****1/4
WrestleMania X-Seven: The Undertaker/Triple H. Overlooked by their subsequent WrestleMania classics later on, but this was a great brawl. ****
WrestleMania X8: Kurt Angle/Kane. Really fun match. Would have been at the four star range with another 5 minutes. ***3/4
WrestleMania X8: The Undertaker/ Ric Flair. This match told a great story, and had an old-school feel to it. Ric was the gunfighter at 53, proving he can still keep up with the baddest man in WWE. ****
WrestleMania XIX: Hulk Hogan/Vince McMahon. Hogan was not known for great matches, but these two told a tremendous story, especially for their age. ****
WrestleMania 21: Rey Mysterio/Eddie Guerrero. A shame that this was Eddie's last WrestleMania, but this was a really good match, and a fun way to start the biggest show of the year. ****
WrestleMania XXIV: Edge(C)/The Undertaker. Possibly the most underrated WrestleMania main event of all time. ****1/2
WrestleMania XXVI: Chris Jericho (C)/Edge. A really good World Heavyweight Championship match, with Jericho working over Edge's previously torn achilles tendon. ****
Any others that come to find, for you?

WM6 - Warrior vs Hogan, this one doesn't get a lot of attention because of the participants, however, this was a very good match, much better than I expected.
WM7 - Warrior vs Macho King, one of my all-time favorite matches, not just WrestleMania.
WM7 - Hart Foundation vs Nasty Boys, I really liked this one, the Nasty Boy bumped their a$$es off in this one.
WM8 - Bret vs Piper, great match from two of my favorites.
WM9 - Steiner's vs Headshrinkers, really good match.
WM10 - Bret vs Owen, a lot of attention gets paid to the ladder match, and rightly so, but this was a great classic wrestling match.
WM13 - Bret vs Austin, I know this gets a lot of attention but, I just want to say that to me, this is the greatest match in WrestleMania history.
What are your top five matches in WrestleMania history?
Mine would be:
Bret vs Austin - WM13
Savage vs Steamboat - WM3
Savage vs Warrior - WM7
Shawn vs Taker - WM25
Bret vs Owen - WM10

Undertaker vs Diesel Mania 12, and also Taker vs Batista Mania 23 because it should get wayyy more love that match is almost as good as Taker/Shawn.

May not be a technical classic but I do enjoy watching Roberts-Martel in their WM VII Blindfold Match every year. Great storytelling and got the crowd involved (unless the reactions were edited).
WM 26 will forever be known for HBK's "final" performance but Batista and Cena had a great match themselves. Even with what felt like a rushed build and obvious "Cena Wins LOL" scenario, one of the best matches on that card.
Think it was mentioned in the magazine at some point, but Mysterio-Rhodes at WM 27 was a really good match if you can overlook the Troll Cole Era.
I'll say it, the match that impressed me most from WM 31 was the Paige and AJ Lee/Bellas tag, for demonstrating a rare case of basic tag wrestling fundamentals in the Divas era. As you might deduce, not too enthused about that year's card lol.

This match really gives me great appreciation for Rick Martel, he was phenomenal in this match. |

Rockers-Twin Towers at WM V and Flair and Taker at 18 come to mind first for me.
Also Taker-Orton at 21. I really thought Orton was going to end the streak. Once Taker got past that awful era of big guy gimmick feuds he really had some high quality matches at Mania.

Christian/Jericho at WM20 - There were so many great moments on this show that this match seems to get lost by fans but it’s a very underrated in-ring performance by two great talents.

I actually really enjoyed that entire angle with Cody getting his face busted and wearing a protective mask. |

Jericho vs Angle vs Benoit strikes me as one. But that was a match it felt like all 3 were holding back a little. Booking was abit weird which didn't help. It seemed like we would see this match again but never did. They could have even done a rematch at the next years Mania.

I liked the X8 pre show Sunday Night Heat match with Lance Storm teaming with Mr. Perfect to face Rikishi and others. Can't remember who else was in the match but I do remember the spot where Lance gave Perfect the towel to block the stinkface. Very funny.
