I don't mean opening match, I mean the video package that opened the show. They really didnt have the big opening until about WM 10 or so I think. I think the one I like best is the opening to to 18. The one for 17 is good too except for them showing people watching WM on portable TV's and in barns and cars. Kinda silly I guess. The opening for 14 is pretty good too with how it talks about the loss of tradition and such. What does everyone else think?

WrestleMania 6 with the Hulkster and the Ultimate Warrior being star consetallations... and then Vince screaming... IT'S THE ULTIMATE CHALLEGNE!!!! That would get my vote. But I also love WM9's opening.

WrestleMania 6 with the Hulkster and the Ultimate Warrior being star consetallations... and then Vince screaming... IT'S THE ULTIMATE CHALLEGNE!!!! This is my favorite as well. "Upon the examination, the galaxies of space, images begin to appear. Images of strange and powerful horses. But of all the forces in the universe, the two most powerful: HULK HOGAN...and the ULTIMATE WARRIOR...prepare to explode. Champion vs. champion, title for title, IT'S THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE....IT'S WRESTLEMANIA!" That's off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm missing a few things, but that intro still gives me goosebumps. Vince was a shitty announcer (IMO), but when it came to PPV openings, there was no one better.

I almost got choked up at last year's. The old/new transitions, the Shinedown song was perfect, just a fantastic bit.

6 and the past 3 havent been bad but 6 the best for the time and you didn't need a setup for that events main attraction.

Strange and powerful horses? I'm pretty sure that's what Vince said. Where's a YouTube clip when you need it?

Except for the fact that he doesn't say "horses". He says "forces". Hence why he says "but of all these forces".

"THE MEGAPOWERS EXPLODE!!!"
Cue a really cheap-looking volcano erupting.

HO-GAN... and THE Ullllltimate Warrior... and the pyro hit in perfect sync... God how I loved that show.

Could be, but it still sounds like "horses" when I hear it, and there's a shot of a horse looking thing as he says it as well. Though "forces" would make more sense. Not a big deal either way.

I actually have WM6 taped live off PPV and when the opening video is being played, you can the Fink doing the countdown all the way through, not just at the end. It's obviously an audio problem, but for some reason makes the intro even more spectacular.
