1. Hogan/Mr T v Orndorff/Piper (only choice I think of a mania that in terms of match quality has not aged well. Still love it for the nostalgia though.
2. Bulldogs v Valentine/Beefcake (very ahead of its time in wwf, and pips the Battle Royal).
3. Steamboat v Savage (one of the most influential matches of all time)
4. Ted Dibiase v Savage (a nice conclusion, and you could see how happy Elizabeth genuinely was at the end)
5. Savage v Hogan (only real choice here I think beyond Perfect v Blue Blazer, and the year long build made this feel like something special even if I am not a huge fan of the match itself)
6. Warrior v Hogan (very different for them to pit two huge babyfaces against each other in the main event, and this should have been the pass the torch moment for Warrior).
7. Warrior v Savage (tremendous match, even if the talking to his hands ending was a tad weird. Meh I was on board anyway)
8. Bret Hart v Piper (difficult one this as also love Savage v Flair, but will go with this one as it is the match that got me into wrestling)
9. Bret Hart v Yokozuna (before Hogan becomes involved, the match itself is really underrated. Bret does a great job here)
10. Shawn Michaels v Razor Ramon (another tough one as bret v owen is also outstanding, but this ladder match remains one of my all time favourites)
11. Shawn Michales v Diesel (best match at the worst wm)
12. Undertaker v Diesel (bret v shawn was decent but is still a struggle to watch in one sitting due to the 0-0 drawness. This match is fun and often overlooked.
13. Steve Austin v Bret Hart (easy choice, simply a classic)
14. Kane v Undertaker (tough choice as also enjoyed Austin winning the belt, but HBK clearly struggling with his back through their match detracts a little from what would have been an even better match otherwise. Kane v Taker was so well built, and clever rope a dope psychology and a finish that made both look strong.
15. Rock v Austin (only choice really, though butterbean v bart gunn makes me smile more)
16. Hardys v Dudleys v Edge & Christian (spot fest maybe but definitely match of the night)
17. Austin v Rock (tough one because I hate the heel turn which had until recently always wrecked my enjoyment of the match. Also there are so many great matches that night, it makes it a more difficult choice. But bell to bell this was a classic, I just wish Austin had of stunnered Vine instead of shaking his hand.
18. Rock v Hogan (crowd made it special)
19. Shawn Michaels v Chris Jericho (stole the show in my view and there were a few other contenders)
20. Shawn Michaels v Triple H v Chris Benoit (it is a difficult watch now but no denying in terms of objectively watching it as a wrestling match it is superb. A tarnished classic)
21. Kurt Angle v Shawn Michaels (maybe the greatest match ever)
22. Edge v Mick Foley (a hardcore match that told a story and a very compelling one. Love the story about how afterwards foley's wife rang him to ask how Edge was.....)
23. Batista v Undertaker (loved this at the time, and just pips money in the bank 3).
24. Ric Flair v Shawn Michaels (such an emotional match that it edges out em....edge v undertaker. I'm sorry edge, i love u)
25. Shawn Michaels v Undertaker (it is between this and the Kurt match for best at mania period for me)
26. Shawn Michaels v Undertaker (not as good but still great. Also had a cracking finish, and a fitting send off for HBK)
27. Triple H v Undertaker (a really well executed match, particularly the point where Hunter shakes his head when Taker weakly grabs him by the throat)
28. Triple H v Undertaker (helps I was there, but this was a classic and story telling at its finest).
29. CM Punk v Undertaker (I was also at this one, and this stole the show albeit my girlfriend missed most of it as she was off buying pizza).
This year my bet is D-Bry v Trips for the show stealer but guess we shall see.

Straight off the top of my head for maximum honesty through memory: 1. The Main Event (kinda by default) 2. The Battle Royal (Not a great show, and Hogan/Bundy is a run-of-the-mill 80's match) 3. Bundy vs. Midgets....uhh I mean Savage vs. Steamboat 4. Savage vs. DiBiase, mainly because I can't remember much else besides Hogan/Andre III, Demolition/Strike Force, and Bulldogs/Islanders, and neither of those impressed me much. 5. Hogan vs. Savage - 5 isn't a bad show, but it's definitely greater than the sum of it's parts. Stuff like Warrior/Rude and Harts vs. R&B is good in the context of the show, but only the Mega Powers match stands on it's own. 6. Hogan vs. Warrior, easy. 7. Savage vs. Warrior - again, easy. 8. Piper vs. Bret 9. Tatanka vs. HBK - and yeah, it's saying something that THAT's the best match on the show. 10. Razor/HBK 11. Diesel/HBK 12. Bret/HBK 13. Bret/Austin 14. Undertaker vs. Kane 15. Austin/Rock I 16. Hardyz/Dudleyz/E&C 17. Tie between TLC and Austin/Rock II 18. Hogan/Rock 19. Jericho/HBK 20. HHH/ ?/HBK 21. Angle/HBK 22. Edge/Foley 23. Undertaker vs. Batista 24. Ric Flair vs. HBK 25. Undertaker vs. HBK I 26. Undertaker vs. HBK II 27. Undertaker vs. Triple H (not a great match by any means, this and IX are side-by-side as worst Wrestlemanias for me) 28. Undertaker vs. Triple H Hell in a Cell (now this one actually IS a great match.) 29. Undertaker vs. CM Punk So, to recap: Undertaker's been the best thing about Wrestlemania for the last 7 years (if not for HBK/Flair at 24 I'd feel real comfortable putting Taker/Edge on there, that match was great) and Shawn Michaels stole the show, IMO, no less than 10 times (and again, Taker/Batista just baaaarely edges out HBK/Cena)
