Worst Wrestlemania of the last 6 years?

[Arturo Classico]

We all know the three worst Wrestlemania's are 2, 9, and 11 and 13 being saved by the great Hart/Austin match. But out of all the Wrestlemania's post 2004 which is the worst?

[Deleted]

"We all know"? I personally think there are worse Mania's out there than some of those, and that Austin / Hart's too overrated to save 13.

Anyway, definitely 25 with 26 as a close second. Enjoyed all of the others in the past six years, but 25 was awful and 26 was meh.

Who voted 22? You bastard...

I could see someone voting for that but I wouldn't because of the great Edge/Foley hardcore match and the women's Title match made that tolerable. But Wrestlemania 23 on the over hand, uggh!

Right here.

Hated 22. And baffled by how it's not seen as the worst of recent years.

I understand the dislike towards 25, but I still enjoyed it more than 22.

[King Fox -1017 Bricksquad]

Naw 22 was straight...

I kinda hate 25 tho.

[mauled]

I go with 24 The great Edge/Taker match aside it was a big failure in JMO and the whole Flair Love fest was just naughesating and to be honest insulting (Specially whe Trips took his shot against the Rock at the Hall of Fame) to true greats for the WWF/E who did so much for that company (Flairs run was a joke) and really only done due to him kissing Trips and Vince's arses.
What is even more funny as he left them and went straight to Hogan and Bishoff and puckered up for them instead and these where the guys who he used to moan about how they treated him in WCW

BTW Whats wrong with 2 The Battle Royal with Andre and the Hart Foundation was quality while The Bulldogs/Dream Team match is argubly one of the all time great Tag matches.

I would say although i enjoyed watching all of the manias listed above, I would say wrestlemania 25 is the worst and imo it isnt even close.

When looking back at these manias they all have a set of decent matches apart from 25 which is only represented with HBK/Taker as a classic.

So 25 is the worst imo.

[Chris the Bambikiller]

I really liked 25. I don't understand how so many people can hate it.

According to that, they're pretty much equal... which doesn't really help.

But 25 is the only show that has an "average" match as the main event. That's simply not good enough for the biggest show of the year.

I think it's because of the underwhelming main event. People were expecting a bare-knuckle dirty brawl packed with run-ins, and we got a straight-up wrestling match, probably only as good as your best RAW main event.

And a lot of people were pulling for Orton to win, as well.

I think its the just the main event that throws many people off, myself included. No way orton should have lost that match he had too much momentum. The triple threat was ordinary, with nothing much happening apart from Cena's double Attitude Adjustment.

It had that stupidly quick match between Rey/JBL for the IC Title, which imo should have no place on a Wrestlemania.

The first part of the Legends Handicap Match against Jericho was terrible, until steamboat came into the match, then it was good to watch.

The divas battle royal was a complete and utter trainwreck.

And Mitb was entertaining as ever, but just didnt live up to its usual standards.

So the only standout matches on mania 25 was matt/jeff's extreme rules match and hbk/taker. When comparing it to the listed wrestlemania's i think its the worst.

22 Bored me so much...

[Mozenrath]

25 is good to turn on if you need a nap and you're worried a superior or easier to laugh at WM will keep you awake but you'd like some ambiance anyway.

25

The constant stream of guest commentators turned a pretty decent show into something that's pretty annoying to listen to. If it had a standard Jesse/Gorilla or Jesse/Vince announce team for the whole thing, it'd probably be higher rated than it usually is.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

aside from the mickie/trish and mitb, 22 had absolutely no reeeeming qualities and gets my vote over an extremely terrible 25, which had the very forgettable miss wm thing and the botchfest known as taker/michaels part 1.

21, 23, and 24 are among the greatest of all time.

[Shameful_Lobsterhead]

WM 25 without a doubt, the only good match from that WM is HBK vs. Taker #1, every other match I am like

I don't agree with everything, but I agree they're all pretty equal and I'd go with 25 though it was underwhelming I have to say Orton/Triple H was a good PPV match, but not a WrestleMania main event.

[christiancage]

25, followed by 22.

[Fantozzi]

easily 25

anobody who hates 22 must be blinded by cena hatred
