I saw many of the threads about favorite matches and most underrated matches at Wrestleamania. This got me to think what were some the better storylines going into Wrestlemania? Because sometimes those are actually better than the actual matches, in my opinion.

The Trish/Mickie storyline had me hooked from the beginning and often it was the only reason I watched Raw.
As a kid, Undertaker/Diesel was my favorite, as I grew up an Undertaker fan, but I also enjoyed Diesel as a heel.
Michaels/Jericho and Michaels/Angle had the best stories of their respective Wrestlemanias, while Hogan/Vince and Batista/Triple H were close seconds.
Other good builds were Hogan/Andre, Hart/Michaels, Undertaker/Kane(both times), and Michaels/Vince(it only became crap AFTER Wrestlemania).

Definitely Mickie/Trish. I still stand behind the idea that their match at WM22 was the match of the year storyline wise. I also loved the buildup for Jericho/HBK at WM 19, as well as Hogan/Rock at 18 and Stone Cold/Bret Hart at 13.

Yeah those were all great.
Some of the ones I liked was the leadup to Wrestlemania 2000 if the McMahon-Helmsley faction screwing with Rock and Mick Foley and was just brillant and really got me excited for the main event.
The whole Christian vs DDP stuff was great I loved the whole crybaby stuff and DDP trying to help Christian that was really cool.
Than the HBK/Angle stuff I loved Angle just attacking everything in HBK's former life that really made the feud get really heated!

The announcement of the HBK/Angle match was pretty lackluster (HBK walks into Bischoff's office, says "By the way, I want a match with Angle at Wrestlemania", leaves), but everything following that (the ladder "match", Jannetty, Sexy Kurt, etc.) was awesome.

i have to give them credit, I like the buildup they're doing with Cena and HBK right now. I liked the Cena/HHH storyline from last year too because of the fan reaction, you had no clear face/heel in that feud because of that.
I thought Mickie/Trish was amazing, probably because the buildup started the year before the show.
Being a Rock mark, im biased but my all time favorite buildup was Rock vs Austin WM X7. Who didnt get pumped up for that match when seeing the promo video? And the match was all kinds of awesome.

Kane/Taker WM 14 (One of the best build ups to a match)
Kane/Taker WM 20 (JUST FOR THE FACT IT WAS BUILDING TO THE DEADMAN GIMMICK RETURN)
Warrior/Hogan WM6 (The build up of 2 faces wrestling each other was great because that was so uncommen at the time)

Taker/Flair. Honestly, watching Taker take out David Flair made me jump for joy. If you watch it, Taker literally beats the brown out of David Flair's hair
