Now mania 17 is rightfully known as the best mania ever by most people, but what is second best? I’d say mania 30

3. 3 is the basic template that all of these have followed (get as many names on as possible. Have a classic midcard match. Huge spectacle main event).
And I’d say 30 is the best. Way more midcard filler on 17. Only The Shield/ Kane & NAO match is on the level of APA & Tazz/ RTC, Chyna/Ivory, Test/Eddie, etc.

19 or 30. 35 would deserve some consideration if it wasn't so f***ing long.

I think after 17 30 is the one I'd most want to watch. 19 is another good answer but it has some pretty big flaws while at it. Worst you can really say for 30 is Taker / Lesnar being ass and it's a much better match on a rewatch since how out of it Taker is kind of gives the end of the streak kind of a feel of inevitability.

Another severely underrated mania is 20. Cena (who was red hot at the time) wins the US title, which was pretty much his star making moment, Eddie retains in a great match against Angle, Benoit tapping out HHH to win the WHC and ofcourse the iconic celebration at the end. Now obviously future events tainted this mania but I think it’s def top 5 manias of all time

30 or 14.
14 always gets overlooked in these discussions because there isn't one super amazing epic stand-out match, but as a full show it's incredibly watachable as multiple storylines came to satisfying conclusions in a fabulously paced viewing experience.
But revisit 14 and you'll have as good of a time as you will watching any full Mania, even if I think 17 is better.

Mania 10 is up there for me. There's two all time classics on the show which is pretty remarkable.

19 is the best, 31 the second best (if Sting had gone over, I'd even be tempted to make it #1)

19 for me. It's a good blend of nostalgia mixed with getting over the current roster.

I think that people bought 14 because of Tyson and came away saying you know what, this is pretty good. And within a month Raw beat Nitro for the first time in a long time.

For me it would probably be 8 or 17, growing up I always liked WM3 as my favorite.

WrestleMania 8 is underrated. I'm going with 31 since I was there live, and Seth's MITB cash-in, Sting's WWE debut and DX and the nWo face to face were all huge memorable moments. But until that time, I always had 8 as the best, and if 17 is #1, I'm giving 31 #2 and 8 #3.

17 is the best and 19 is the second best IMHO. It might be because this one (19) happened year I turned 18.

I loved the taker entrance for this one. I think the fact the main event wasn’t as good as it was given how Shawn’s back was in bits and it showed. Another good mention is 20. I loved the opening and MSG looked great and as pointed out the Eddie vs angle match was great with a very inventive finish with the boot.

Il give a mention to 24 which is incredibly strong especially main event wise. I’d put that ahead of 19 just.

Tie between 21 and 17.
21 is very underrated.
19 is my fav.
