You said that only one Wrestlemania was bad enough to be inducted and that was 9 true but you forgot to mention 11 as a bad Wrestlemania and it should be inducted why didn't you do that?

Maybe it's because WM11 wasn't that bad. The only ones that could possibly compare are WM13 and WM2000, which both only had one or two good matches.

Very true. WrestleMania 11 makes 9 seem like WM3. There's not one good thing anyone could say about 11, at lease 9 had in probably my own opinion, a decent match with Shawn and Tatanka (Buffalo), Steiners and Headshrinkers and the bickering back and forth of Heenan, Savage and JR.
The only thing 11 had was, LT beating Bam Bam with a forearm and then a bulldog, witch may have gotten them press in papers and news stations, but, it also made Bam Bam, and other wresters seem weaker to a football player.
Oh, and also, that cute JTT beating Mr. Bob Backland in chess, that was the highlight of the show.

13 was even worse than either of these two. Yes, we had Bret/Austin, but the rest of the card might as well have been a house show. 2 was also bad because the separate arenas led to a lot of technical problems, and the prerecorded interviews didn't air at the right time, so we had Finkel announcing stuff in the background.

WM11 was the worst in my opinion.
Not only did the card suck, but I remember watching it and thinking it felt like just any other show. They didn't even attempt to give it that "special Wrestlemania" feel.
At least at 9 there was little glitz and glitter to remind you that, "this isn't just ANY card, it's wrestle f'n mania!!"

I couldn't agree more. WM XI is BY FAR the worst Wrestlemania. I mean, just look at the "main event": LT vs Bam Bam?? WTF was Vince thinking? WM IX while not wrestling-wise really good, but it was entertaining with the whole unusual Roman ambientation, and plus it had a few decent matches like Perfect vs Luger and Hart vs Yokozuna. On the other hand WM XI was a snoozefest.

I may sadly be in the minority of humanity, but I LOVED the venue at WM IX, and how they got Caesar's all dressed up like that. They really went overboard with the elaborate Roman motif, all that was missing was to air it a little later to get that day-to-night effect that's so damn cool at every Super Bowl and at Summerslam 92.

I believe that 13 was really, really bad. Austin and Bret was the only good match coming out of that thing.
The main event...Undertaker vs. Sid...ugh. Just ugh.

As horrible as XIII and XI were, I agree with RD here. IX was godawful, and included arguably the worst match of all time.

The WM 11 match between Michales & Diesel match was the PWI match of the year. The WM match between Hart & Austin is arguably the greatest WM match. WM 9 had nothing better than an OK match.

Forgot to mention, at WM 11, the moron in the center of the screen 5 rows back dressed like Bam Bam Bigelow is me. Check out my Ted DiBiase wrestling buddy when Kama steals the UT's urn.

Now I gotta dig thru 500 tapes to see you.......Anyway, I think WM9 was cool and I still watch it alot......Sure, the matches weren't as good as many of the Manias....But JR debuted, which was cool to my 10 year old mark mind and Heenan did the color, which is always cool

I voted for Yokozuna for the WWF HOF a few months back. His Main Event may not have been the greatest, but what agreat gimmick that guy had.
