Your Favorite Match of Each WrestleMania?

[Deleted]

I just had the stray thought of a daily poll set-up for each Mania from 1 to 29, but we don't have 29 days left before the show so... Y'know, can't do that. Guess could do two a day but I really can't be bothered to. Maybe someone else could though.

So, instead, figure everyone can just post their personal list of the best match of each WrestleMania. I imagine especially with a lot of the early ones and a lot of the later ones things will get pretty samey, but we'll see.

For my list, excluding the ones I haven't seen (want to watch them all before Mania 30, but the thing with old Manias not working on the 360 is presently preventing that)...

1. Hulk Hogan & Mr. T vs. Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorff (though only really by default, none of the matches are that great)
3. Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage
7. Ultimate Warrior vs. Randy Savage
10. Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart
12. Undertaker vs. Diesel
13. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin
14. Undertaker vs. Kane
15. Steve Austin vs. The Rock
16. Triple H vs. The Rock vs. Mick Foley vs. Big Show I forgot about the ladder match, that.
17. Depends on the day, but I lean toward Austin / Rock.
18. Undertaker vs. Ric Flair, though honestly I don't even particularly like it. 18 just sucked.
19. Steve Austin vs. The Rock, again.
20. Chris Benoit vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
21. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels
22. Edge vs. Mick Foley
23. Undertaker vs. Batista
24. Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair
25-30. The Taker matches.

Figure 25 to 30 in particular's going to be a very wide consensus opinion. I'm also sure I've raised Al Snow's ire.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

WM 2000: Ladder Tag Match
WM X7: TLC II
WM X8: Rock/Hogan
WM 19: Austin/Rock
WM 20: Benoit/HBK/HHH
WM 21: Angle/HBK
WM 22: MITB
WM 23: Batista/Undertaker
WM 24: Undertaker/Edge
WM 25: Undertaker/HBK
WM 26: Undertaker/HBK
WM 27: Undertaker/HHH
WM 28: Undertaker/HHH
WM 29: Undertaker/CM PUnk

Taker just dominates this list after a while, haha.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

3. Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat
10. Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart
13. Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold
14. The Undertaker vs. Kane
15. Stone Cold vs. The Rock
16. Dudleyz vs. E+C vs. Hardyz - Ladder Match
17. Stone Cold vs. The Rock
18. The Undertaker vs. Ric Flair
19. Stone Cold vs. The Rock
20. Benoit vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
21. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels
22. Edge vs. Mick Foley
23. John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels
24. Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
25. The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
26. The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
27. The Undertaker vs. Triple H
28. The Undertaker vs. Triple H
29. The Undertaker vs. CM Punk

A few could've gone the other way though. And I realised that if I'd gone with Vince/HBK and Y2J/HBK over Edge/Foley and Austin/Rock respectively (both were very close) then Shawn would've not only had my favourite match at the show for 8 years running but also had my favourite match at each 'Mania he'd participated in since his return. Which is why he's Mr. WrestleMania I guess...

[shaker]

Just ranking what I've watched live:

24. Michaels vs. Flair
25. Michaels vs. Undertaker
26. Michaels vs. Undertaker
27. HHH vs. Undertaker

Dang, Taker rules.
