Savage-Steamboat at WM3.

That is the quintessential “steal the show” match for a non-heavyweight title match for probably the first 9 Manias. You only start challenging it when you get to WM10 with Bret-Owen and HBK-Razor.

Piper v. Hart at WM8 was 1 of only 2 good matches on the card. Never will forget that. First WM PPV my parents let me buy.

I don’t know, but wrestling today with its PG rating is ultra cringe.

Bret vs. Austin is my favorite, but I’m shocked we made it to page two with no mention of Bret vs. Shawn Ironman Match from WM12.

From the iconic entrance



“UNNNNBEEEEEELIEVABLE WHATARIDE!!!!!!”

All the way to “THE BOYHOOD DREAM HAS COME TRUE FOR SHAWN MICHAELS!”



This should be in everybody’s top 3.

Also, shoutout to Commentator Vince.

WM 27 Undertaker vs. HHH was just brutal and went like 40 mins of kick arse power moves. The undertaker took three pedigrees and to spine busters plus a tomb stone piledriver and like 12 chair shots to his back. And still won.

Hogan vs. Warrior for me, too. It was the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object. The thought of one of them losing was unfathomable.

Probably because Shawn was such a monumental douche. Then after winning told Bret, "Get out of the ring - this is MY moment." Prick.

Having an iron man match where no one takes falls in regulation is crap.

The Rock-HHH one in 2000 is how it should be done, having a little fun with the match type by having HHH get DQed for waffling Rock with a chair then immediately getting a pin fall over Rock after that.

I'm not going to mention any mentioned already.

Michaels/Razor Ramon ladder match for the IC title.

Rock vs Hogan is my favorite.

Rock was a face, Hogan a heel.

Crowd reacted to Hogan as a face and Rock made the change in the ring and he became the heel.

It's the best pure professional wrestling match of all time.

This is the moment they realize what's going on

The retirement match between Macho Man vs Ultimate Warrior during Wrestlemania 7 has always been my favorite.

I remember wrestleMania 1. I was 16 at the time and I wondered who won the match between Hulk Hogan/ Mr. T and Rowdy Roddy Piper .

Looked for the results in the morning advocate the next day. My dad just laughed at me for believing wrasslin was real.

Don’t pretend like Brett was some kind of choir boy. Shawn was incredibly hard to deal with at the time and he readily admits it, but Brett was an a-hole and was hard to do business with as well at the time for certain people.

I attended WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. I saw the Undertaker lose to Brock Lesner after being 21-0 in WrestleMania Matches.

The walkout with the 21 coffins was amazing.

Rock vs Hogan at WM18. It solidified Hogan as the biggest star in wrestling history. The Rock being professional to know a change was the right call.

When Hogan hulked up, the Skydome went nuts.
