A couple years ago, I started a thread explaining that each Wrestlemania belongs to someone. Not in the same way that Vince McMahon owns the company, but that someone steals the show and it forever belongs to them. The examples I gave included Wrestlemania XXIV belonging to Ric Flair and Wrestlemania XVIII belongs to Daniel Bryan.
Usually, it's easy for me to decide who owns each year, but this year comes down to The Undertaker and The Hardys. Who gets this one?

Undertaker's retirement, flaming turd of a match aside, is the thing to remember from this Wrestlemania.

Even though I'm a bigger fan of Taker in general, the Hardys' return was more of a mark-out moment for me, and one I've repeatedly rewatched. Taker's moment, while significant, doesn't feel anywhere near as powerful for me as other retirement moments in wrestling; the opponent was wrong, the flow of the match was wrong and the conclusion was wrong.
Not that he needed to go over in his final match, just ... none of it feels right for him. There was no long-term storyline history with Reigns, it wasn't really a "dream match" that anyone was clamoring for, and there wasn't really that much build. They just sacrificed him to the stubborn Reigns project because they could.
The Hardys return, though ... that felt good in a "we know the fans want this, and we listened" sort of way.

Hardys. The taker match was sad because of the shape he was in but also stupid because it wasn't a retirement match and he put his gear on at the end just to take it off again.

Hardyz. Mainly because of the ambiguity of his retirement and I'm sorry, but Hardyz were the pop of the night. That was the WrestleMania moment this year.

If this retirement sticks. Its Taker. No doubt.
Way bigger impact and meaning.

Hardys were the high point, Taker was the low point. History might offer a different sort of perspective removed from Roman's heat and the surge of Hardy popularity, but it's going to have to face an uphill battle for how f***ing tragic a disaster that was.

Too early to tell right now. If Taker really is done, he wins obviously. If he comes back for another match down the line, Hardys take it.
