What is your favorite wrestlemania setting? Not just the card but the factor in the crowd the arena the stage the whole atmosphere. For me it’s a tie of 6 & 17

I loved 33 with the rollercoaster/theme park aesthetic.

Absolutely loved the look of Wrestlemania 9.
Shame about... Basically everything else.

It's kind of low-key, but I always liked Wrestlemania X's setting and presentation. Straightforward, not too much flash, and a Garden crowd.

Absolutely loved the look of Wrestlemania 9. Shame about... Basically everything else. It'd have still been a weak 'Mania, but I often wonder how differently it'd be received if Tatanka won the IC title. Would have probably helped the energy of the crowd a bit more and made it where not so much of the card felt like a waste of everyone's time. (Just tell HBK he can end Tatanka's streak at KOTR or something to get him to drop the title without pouting.)

I really liked the look of WM 31.
For older ones, the black/gold ropes look from WM 9/10

WrestleMania 8. I love events being held at indoor stadiums.

A weird one, but I liked the stormy sky at the beginning of 24

I don't know if I have just one. But I have a few.
I also like WM 9 and 10 black and gold ropes. The ring looked cool in that.
WM 17 was the first of the BIG sets and was a cool look. Lot of awesome visuals came from it that you see in a lot of the video packages for years later.
Always was a fan of the venues that you see the day turn into night. Which is a few of them. Z
23, 24, and 33 are my top three stage sets of all time. Last year was pretty good too.
As bad the show was, the WM 9 whole look itself was really good. I like the Roman Coliseum look all the way around the arena.

I always loved the atmosphere and setting of VI. Skydome looked so big and impressive and I loved the motorized ring carts. I think it might be my all time favorite show.
I've watched it so many times that on recent watches of it I notice things for the first time despite watching it probably about fifty times in my lifetime. During the start of the pandemic a couple of years ago I watching a lot of the old Wrestlemania's on Peacock and for the first time noticed as Ted Dibiase is making his entrance for his match in the ring cart, in the bypassing ring cart heading to the back you can see Jim Duggan crumpled up in the back of it selling the three splashes he just received from Earthquake. With how long the ring entrance was I guess they didn't feel like taking a stretcher down so poor Hacksaw despite probably having some broken ribs had to crawl into the ring cart and get his own ride.
Another funny thing I noticed is that during the Rockers entrance they cut to the crowd to several female fans on their feet near the entrance way trying to get their attention. One girl is pretty young. Maybe about thirteen or fourteen. She's on her feet trying to get Shawn and Marty's attention and then she looks over a little to her right and sees another girl in her twenties in a white tank top and with big boobs is also on her feet. The younger girl then looks down on her own and her face becomes dejected lol.

I like sticking with the super old school ones; as such, I pick 3, 6, and 8. I used to love the huge venue Manias. Bonus if they use the ring carts.
Agreed on CAESAR'S PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT....as outdoor shows were a novelty back then too.

The best crowds are made up of disinterested gamblers so nothing beats Wrestlemania's IV & V.

3 in that massive and cavernous Silverdome with the ring carts and (arguably) the biggest main event in wrestling history

I love X8. It reminds me of the older Tokyo Dome shows with all the steel girders.

III and VIII were in the old-school domes that start out bright white during the day and then darken as the show goes on. Always loved that visual.
