WM 25, 27 and 32 are by far the absolute worst main events. All trash. |

Wrestlemania XI: Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam Bigelow Wrestlemania 13: Sid vs Undertaker Wrestlemania 2000: Big Show vs Mankind vs The Rock vs HHH Wrestlemania X8: Chris Jericho vs HHH (The match wasnt bad but this should not have went on last) Wrestlemania 25: Randy Orton vs HHH Wrestlemania 27: John Cena vs The Miz Wrestlemania 31: Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar Wrestlemania 32: Roman Reigns vs HHH I liked WM2000 & WM31 main events but the rest are trash. |

Pretty much anything with Hogan is a given. I liked 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7. WM6 being the best because he lost.  WM6 was easily the best. 5 as well. |

Wrestlemania 5 is easily one of the best WM MEs out there.
It delivered on the build & in the ring too. Very few Main Events have delivered like it did.
It's literally perfect.

Wrestlemania 27: Miz and Cena. The match itself wasn't bad but Miz was made to look like an absolute chump. Cena could have taken a clean loss while making Miz look like a star. Instead Miz looked inferior for most of the match then got humiliated afterwards by The Rock. There was nothing about that match that made Miz look like the WWE Champion. Rock and Cena was already a made match so setting it up at Miz' expense was unnecessary. Wrestlemania 29: Cena vs Rock. Their first match was huge but this one just felt pointless. Both were at the top of their game and neither gained anything from winning nor lost anything from losing. It lacked the grandeur of their first match and came off as just another finisher spamming match rather than a big deal. Wrestlemania 32: Roman and Triple H. Decent match but no one was really interested in Roman yet everyone knew he was going to win. There was no possible scenario where Triple H would win. Wrestlemania 33: Roman and Undertaker. Great storytelling, Taker was the big dog that was too old to defend his yard from an even bigger dog so to speak. It was just a slow match and the argument can be made that a slow Taker helped the storytelling of the match. To me, I didn't necessarily like it because it made me (and many others) come to terms with the unfortunate fact that Taker's time was over. Plus we got the odd juxtaposition of Taker seemingly retiring in front of a stage that looked like a theme park. Wrestlemania 34: Roman and Lesnar. Another match that wasn't bad but was ruined by the runtime. I watched 34 from start to finish (not including the preshow) and it was a tough slog. A few days later I rewatched the match and it was fine. Probably didn't need Roman kicking out of three F5s though. Wrestlemania 35: Ronda vs Becky vs Charlotte. Another runtime victim. The main event of a 29 hour long show and I just didn't care for it anymore. Garbage finish too although it didn't look like thats how it was meant to end. Wrestlemania 36: Drew and Lesnar: A match in front of no crowd so I expected absolutely  all from Lesnar and thats what we got. After the pop that Drew got from eliminating Brock at the Rumble, this had all the makings to be a classic match and a star making moment that was unfortunately taken away from us. |

WM5 & 6 main events will always be the best. Real legendary matches. It doesn't get any bigger or better than Hogan vs Savage & Hogan vs Warrior. |

Drew vs Brock got killed by Covid. I liked Becky vs Rousey vs Charlotte. Cena vs Miz sucked. Reigns vs HHH sucked. Reigns vs Taker sucked. Reigns vs Lesnar WM34 sucked. Cena vs Rock WM29 was bad tbh. I loved their match at WM28. |

The fact that it has taken Drew another 4 years to get back to a place anywhere near WM36, and it's probably going to be the first match on the card so that Seth can rest before the main event.... |

It wouldn't surprise me if night one has both the women's championship matches and night two has the mens. |

Very surprised/happy to hear that Bam Bam Bigelow versus Lawrence Taylor from WrestleMania XI isn't on many lists. For as awful as that show is and it is undoubtedly one of the worst WrestleManias of all-time, the main event was pretty solid for having an outsider involved. Bam Bam carried the match on his back, but LT held his own and the crowd was into it. For me, the biggest dud main event in WrestleMania history has to go to Triple H/Randy Orton from WrestleMania 25. As someone who was in attendance in Houston that day, I can confirm how absolutely dead the crowd was. They had just witnessed a classic in Undertaker/HBK, but even if that wasn't the case it still would have flopped since the match was booked terribly, went way too long and had an equally stale finish with the wrong guy going over. HHH vs Orton sucked hard. It needed to be a Street Fight. |

Belongs no where on this list. Actually might belong on the "Best WM main events" list. The build was awful but the match was a huge spectacle and so well done. Start to finish. |

WM13 Sid Vs Taker. WM15 Austin vs Rock. Their WM17 match was way better and the result getting spoiled during the show didn't help things. WM16. Rock, HHH, Mick, Show. Only good point was Vince turning heel. WM18 Jericho vs HHH WM25 Orton Vs HHH WM27 Cena Vs Miz WM29 Cena Vs Rock ll WM31 Reigns Vs Lesnar WM34 Reigns Vs Lesnar WM37 Bryan Vs Edge Vs Reigns WM38 Reigns Vs Lesnar Not trying to argue what didn’t you like about WM 37 main event? |

Miz/Cena WM 27 peak pg era main event if The Rock was guest Ref it would of been serviceable I think
Hhh/Orton 25 crazy story that had me hooked if it was just a street fight that got some overbooking be just fine
Roman/HHH crowd rejected it. I think HHH taking the belt and what not was meant to be good way to get Roman over. But the fans wanted no part of it.
Roman/Taker speaks for itself
Roman/Brock II the build up actually did make sense. Roman never defeated Brock and was ripped apart by Brock at WM 31. Romans developed more as a star and is still looking for “that moment” and Brock remains an unwritten chapter. The promo building it up was even good.
Just we all saw this coming from post mania 2017. And it didn’t help this match sucked and was like spam unlimited finishers on 2k. Just lazy and we kicked the can to summer slam 2018; wtf.
Drew/Brock I’ll give some break bc of Covid but this also was peak 3 minute match Brock lesnar. They took the Goldberg match formula and made it worse lol. Think these two give them maybe 15-20 minutes and still spotfest with big moves it would be good stuff
Roman-Brock Mania 38
Underwhelming for title Unification match. If they put that summer slam match here it would be gold. It seems Brock and Roman only worked the first and the last time lol

This one wasn’t on the performers (although, Ronda Lousy was never enjoyable to me) but Mania 35 triple threat was flat and just didn’t feel special like it should have. A victim of the event running what felt like 3 days.

St. Slaughter vs Hulk Hogan and the Miz vs John Cena Both for basically the same reason Did you watch it live, or just on WWE Network? I’m just curious because watching Hogan/Slaughter live when I was a kid, it was a huge deal. It felt like if Hogan lost that the United States was losing the war and Saddam was going to rule us. Hogan wasn’t just trying to win the Title, he was defending the entire country (what it felt like). . I watched it live, but we had totally opposite reactions. I was an older teen who was familiar with Sgt. Slaughter from the NWA & AWA, and he was visibly on the downside of his physical prowess. His heel turn was forced and silly. I had seen Hogan fight "evil foreign heel" types throughout the late 80s, so the patriotism angle felt like a weak rehash. During the final months of 1990, WWE had slowly fed us the idea of Jack Tunney relenting his edict of never letting Warrior & Hogan wrestle again, which would have led to WM7. I still believe that Hogan-Warrior 2 is what fans wanted. I couldn't wait for the Hogan-Slaughter feud to be over. Had it happened 5 years prior, it might have been different. |

Pretty much anything with Hogan is a given. I have to agree despite Hogan being one of my least favorite wrestlers. WM 2 was a well-done feud with believable brawl in the cage to cap it off. 5 & 6 were about as good as Hogan matches ever got in the technical sense. 3's match was plodding, but I can't argue that the build wasn't great. Andre was one intimidating heel back then. |
