The last few years seemed to have just blurred into one in my memory. For me it's like listening to 10 hours of generic grunge and then being asked after what my favourite song was.

Hard not to love WM X for Bret's entrance alone at that show - talk about iconic! Very true  Plus its the one that was always in view cause of msg!  Also....wouldn't it be cool if they used that ring apron once again? |

I dislike that now 1/3 of the arena is stage. It just seems a waste and who really cares what the stage looks like? What was the last 'Wrestlemania moment' created by what a stage did? It's just for the sake of itself now.
They may as well have each WM start with a 45 minute music video package and then people will say if others think they should stop "hey, 45 minute opening music packages are part of what makes Wrestlemania special" It's just some giant structure that when you first see you think "oh right, that's different" and then almost literally the second after never, ever think of it again. Until threads like these where you have to google pictures to remember what each year's looked like.
I also think it makes the 'larger than life' superstars look ridiculous as they emerge as dots from a structure that absolutely dwarfs them.

Is 20 really winning because of a floor tron? Either way, my pick will always be XXIV.  |

I love a lot of them. Last years stage was pretty sweet and grand as well, there is no pics of posted yet in here so I have put some in the spoilers |

I personally prefer 23 and XXIV. Both were massive and had unique effects to them.
X8 has a special place in my heart. Yeah, it looks like an incomplete set, but the giant Skydome screen, searchlights, and sheer size of the thing impressed me.
X-Seven is also great in its simplicity. Plus at the time it was revolutionary.

Wrestlemania IX
I loved the Roman setting, and all the wrestlers emerged from a billowing royal purple curtain.
Beautiful

27 for me. Loved the way the wrestlers walked up a ramp to get on the stage. The huge Wrestlemania logo, the metal rig holding it up and the giant tron behind it were all awesome. I also really liked the glossy ramp with the Wrestlemania logo running down it. The whole set had a sense of grandeur to it. It's a shame the event sucked

I can't vote for it on my phone. But I'd vote for 27.

I was torn between 17, 27 and 29 but went with 27. Despite being an awful show, that giant screen was something else and I give it the win for Alberto's entrance alone (an entrance that I don't give many wins, unless the win is "Least exciting moment". Plus the CUBE!
ALL HAIL CUBE!

It's weird, because I don't recall it very well now, but I seem to recall loving WM XXVI at the time.

Speaking on unique stage designs -- WM X8 had it man!  Completely forgot that Wrestlemania X8 set doubled as the home of the world's most ambitious production of Rent. |

This thread is getting me excited to see what they have planned for Bryan's entrances.

Really liked 27's.
Rock's entrance in the opening sealed. It looked like he was in the center of a giant storm

Another vote for 24, the picture below just sums up what the spectacle of WM should be.  |

Count me in on the Wrestlemania XX crowd. I liked that one a lot, especially when Kane made his entrance. That was just awesome.
