19? 20 has fantastic title matches but everything else isn't great, 21 has awful title matches but everything else is great (Show/Akebono excepted).

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. I don't know how Chyna vs Ivory could be called filler when it paid off a long angle and was a championship match. Test vs Eddie might not have had builde but it was still a title match and still delivered in ring imo

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. I enjoyed the show overall but I always hated Rock/Shamrock ending in a DQ after 5 minutes. They did that EXACT finish at the Rumble 2 months earlier (complete with Shamrock beating up the referees afterwards). It felt like it was Shamrock's time to actually win the title.

My personal top 10 is:
1. 19
2. 17
3. 30
4. 21
5. 23
6. 22
7. 35
8. 4
9. 14
10. 12
(Keep in mind that I haven't seen 1-3 in their entirety, or 27, 29, 31, or 32)
My reasoning for 19 over 17 is that 19 has more must-see matches, both at the time and now. Jericho/Michaels was one everyone was clamoring for back in 2003 and even today, their first encounter holds up, even though they've had better matches since. Lesnar/Angle was another one everybody wanted at the time and even with the botched SSP, it's still a great match. The botched move elevates it for me, because of the added drama concerning Brock's neck, on top of Angle's. Hogan/Vince is one of those matches you knew wasn't going to be pretty, but you had to see it. And Austin/Rock might not be as good as their match two years earlier, but it's certainly more emotional. Even though Undertaker's match was a dud and Triple H/Booker was dull and the wrong guy won, the rest of the card was good enough to elevate it to number one status.

Personally to me, based off my enjoyment alone. 19, 6, 10 were all better than 17.

For me it would be between 30, 10 and 24
30 aside from the Streak ending the show is fun and just about all the matches delivered. Bryan winning is an all time moment. Brock and Cena winning are the only real negatives.
24 had Taker/Edge, HBK/Flair, Orton/Cena/HHH, a fun MITB match and some decent undercard matches. The womens match and the ECW title matches are the only negatives.
10 had Owen/Bret and Razor/HBK which are all time classics and the rest of the show is solid but the main event just doesn't deliver. The pacing was also famously off.
I'm gravitating more towards 24

I like Manias 3-9. I’ll die on the hill that 10 is shit. I mean, having 2 5 star matches on it is amazing and it bumps it up, but the rest of the card is pure crap.
