So I’ve done best WM’s but what about the worst ones?
I’d say WM9, WM13, WM11 has gotta be on this list 100%. I would say WM15 but I loved the main event with Austin vs Rock so I’ll leave it off hahaa. I’d even say WM27 sucked (had 2/3 good moments) , WM29 could have been much better.

Wrestlemania 11 is in a league of it's own for me, that was a terrible PPV first of all, but it being Wrestlemania? It was a shocker. I don't mind Wrestlemania 9, but it's more for the look and feel of the event rather than the match quality. Hogan ending up as champ sucked after not being in the Main Event Title match. 13 was poor, but it's saved by Austin/Bret, same way 15 is saved by Austin Rock and 25/27 is saved by Taker/HBK & Taker/Triple H so they all get passes. I can't honestly remember the Cena/Miz match much at 27, but that's got to be up there for worst looking Main Event in the 38 years of Wrestlemania so it's not one I've ever cared to watch back as I had zero interest in it at the time or now. My least favourite isn't a bad show, but I'm not a fan of Wrestlemania 16. Bar the Ladder match, nothing else really happens on the undercard and the Main Event is a cluster  with Foley and Show added. If you want to see the way it should have really played out, watch Rock/Triple H at Backlash a month later, that should have been the main event of Wrestlemania. The 4 way sucked. |

I haven't seen a full WrestleMania in over a decade, so I can't talk about probably the last 20 or so. For me, 11 or 13 would be my choices, I'd probably go with WM11 as the worst, the Bret/Austin match saved WM13 from being a complete stinker. WM11 really didn't have a lot going for it. Deisel and Shawn was good, but not their best, but nothing else comes close to being a good match. Taker/Bundy and Allied Powers/Blu Brothers were terrible. Even the Bret/Backlund match was bad, probably Bret's worst PPV match in his WWF run. Razor/Jarrett and the tag team title match was nothing to write home about, and the main event was okay but nothing great.
I liked WM4, and it wasn't bad, but it could have been a lot better. I think they overloaded the PPV to the point where no match really stands out. Of all the tournament matches, only three went more than 8 minutes (Hogan/Andre, Jake/Rude and DiBiase/Savage). Had they trimmed the tournament down from 14 wrestlers to 8, you could have had few matches that went longer. Also, they should have done a Savage/Steamboat rematch from WM3.

Rollins vs Triple H Aries vs Neville Lesnar squashing Goldberg Hardy’s returning Owens vs Jericho All was good, hell even AJ vs Shane was good. Was the main event bad? Sure. Was the hottest feud of Miz vs Cena disappointing? Very. But I don’t think it’s the worst. Maybe in the top 10? But far from the worst |

Orton/Wyatt, Lesnar/Goldberg, Taker/Reigns, Miz/Cena. Ambrose/Corbin, both Womens matches… also not good. Even the Ladder match sucked and was only remembered because of The Hardy’s “shocking” return. Styles/Shane and Owens/Jericho were decent. I don’t even remember American Alpha vs. The Usos. Just The Usos being in white. Haha Aries/Neville and Hunter/Rollins were both good though. |

I'll just go with the Wrestlemania's that I watched live as a fan(got into wrestling in '99 when Smackdown debut) so with that said and not counting WM 36 do to the Covid era the worst to me would be clearly would be WM 27.It had a great match up with Taker/Triple H and two good under card matches with Orton/Punk and Rhodes/Mysterio but everything else wasn't good.If you look at the rest of the card Cole/King is probably the worst Mania match ever,the 8 man tag and celebrity matches both where short and not good,Bryan/Sheamus got bumped and wasn't even on the card,Edge/ADR was okay but nothing special and more so in hindsight now that it was Edge's last match for nearly a decade.
But what really did in this Mania was the awful Cena/Miz main event and Dwayne overshadowing the entire build and match up.If the main event would have been better with more heat to the build or a different main eventer in it then Miz would have been a much better Wrestlemania.

For 2017 and the Mania that year to lose it all. |

For 2017 and the Mania that year to lose it all. A big part for me was the RTWM that year. Cena beating Styles at the Rumble for absolutely no reason. Lost the title to Wyatt in the Chamber a month later, solely to get the title onto Orton the month after that. Goldberg beating Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship, when his feud with Lesnar didn’t need the title. It should’ve been Jericho vs. Owens for the Universal Championship. Nobody wanted to see Superman Roman Reigns face The Undertaker. Let alone The Undertaker facing yet another WrestleMania loss. The shock was Lesnar ending the streak. Anything after that was just pathetic. Including Taker/Wyatt at WM31. |

WM 29.
Mark Henry going over Ryback, the disrespectful Punk vs Taker match, Del Rio vs Swagger and the final 2 matches were rematches that nobody asked for.
Can't think of a worse WM. Even bad ones like 13 & 16 were more entertaining.

You remember which WM was your last one? I’m guessing between 20-28 maybe. They’ve done 38 and are about to do 39 but I’d suggest you check out some of the ones you missed tbh whenever you can. 20,21,22,23,24 were all great and 28/30 were two of the best! 31 was good too, 35,38 (last years WM) etc. |

Of the ones I’ve seen, 11 takes the cake. When one of the highlights of the show is two roid freaks wrestling against Neo-Nazis, you know you’ve got a problem,

32 comes to mind. Lesnar and Ambrose was a real let down. It should have been akin to Lesnar and Punk from Summerslam. Instead we got a very tame ten minute match. The main event was fine but we all know how it was going to end. I hate that 36 turned out the way it did because the show was absolutely stacked top to bottom and had potential to be one of the best ever until some wit decided to eat a bat. |

32 is pretty rough. Which is a shame because it was my first live Mania. I still love the ladder match and the womens triple threat, but the rest of the show isn’t anything great. You had the Dudleys vs the Usos on the kickoff before most people got in the building, Brock pissed because he wanted Bray and it was switched to Dean so a half ass match is the result, Undertaker vs Shane in a one major spot Hell In A Cell, Triple H and Roman being booed to death, AJ vs Jericho despite seeing it numerous times before the event, New Day for some reason losing to the LON, The Rocks last match in 6 seconds against Rowan, and the Wyatt family looking like chumps despite looking like a threat to Brock just months prior. I loved seeing Austin/Cena/Rock/Foley/HBK in person but my god were they used poorly. Just a disaster of an event.
THEY ALSO MADE ME WATCH RYBACK VS KALISTO
