So WWE put up this playlist that seems to be their opinion on which ones are the best - www.wwe.com/videos/playlists/spectacular-wrestlemania-entrancesTheir list is... Triple H (30) John Cena (25) Shawn Michaels (12) Triple H (22) Edge (24) Triple H (27) John Cena (27) Shawn Michaels (25) First off... They didn't even pick the best entrance in the main event at Mania 27. Who in the hell even remembers anything about Cena's gospel entrance beyond that it happened? And for that matter not that either Mania 22 entrance is great (if only because Cena looks like a flasher) but Triple H's certainly isn't the better of the two. Unless you love King of Kings, which I do, but while it was the first use of it there've been a lot better since. One I really wish would get some more props is JBL's at 21. It's not that it's anything that spectacular, just his usual entrance with money with his face on it raining down, but I've always really liked the way it was shot and presented, like the cuts to people in the crowd holding the money. Just perfect for the character in that situation. Also I'm astounded that playlist has zero Undertaker on it. If only the Mania 30 one, I absolutely love the retroactive symbolism there of how the streak reaches Brock and then goes up in smoke. Even if it is marred by how they're awkwardly framing it to try to keep Punk out of the picture as much as possible. |

My personal favorite of Taker entrance is 29. That visual of the zombie hands with Taker's silhouette emerging from the smoke and lightning was ridiculously cool.
I also really enjoyed Triple H attempting an Undertaker style entrance of his own at Mania 27, but then I become irritated that they only got the rights for For Whom The Bell Tolls for the live broadcast, when they f***ing knew better at that point (and this was also the year Taker came out to Ain't No Grave, so both entrances are gutted in the archives).

Yeah, the Mania 29 entrance is pretty damn cool, as were the 27 ones up until edits ruined them. |

Undertaker at 14 should be on there. Love that one.

I'll agree with the Triple H entrance for 30, if only because they were leaning into the internet hate and going ridiculously over the top with it.

I am not sure this constitutes a Playlist, but it's cool that Rusev on a Tank made it.

We knew Bryan was going to beat him and win the title, but I still love them going over the top embracing the "IWC" hate. |

Were people really that pissed that Hunter beat him? I just remember people being relieved that feud was over lol |

YES. I love the Mania 29 Taker entrance. And I remember staying up live for Mania 27 and HHHs entrance with For Whom The Bell Tolls was just spine chilling. That whole match was the saving grace of the night for me. |

HHH’s Terminator entrance at WM31 was campy and fun. I also always had a soft spot for Cena’s WM23 one with the Mustang crashing through the glass. He was clearly riding with a hidden stunt driver but it was visually badass.
Charlotte Flair had a nice one last year that called back to her dad at Starrcade 83, and Sasha Banks being chauffeured to the ring at WM33 made her feel like a big deal.

So they have two Hunter entrances which are basically the same, yet no Undertaker? Ridiculous.

Screw all of those, when the glass broke at wrestlemania 17, that was the greatest entrance. No gimmicks, just BMF.

Wasn't there some element of that entrance that included showing the names of previous people he'd beaten? I could *maybe* see them exclude that entrance for this reason, as it's quite morbid (several are dead at this point, yes?), but yeah that entrance even without that was quite awesome.... |

That was Mania 30. They were written on caskets lining the stage, ending in Lesnar, then the Brock one went up in flames before all the rest did. |

I'll agree with the Triple H entrance for 30, if only because they were leaning into the internet hate and going ridiculously over the top with it. It was probably the most Egotistical shit ever and I loved it. As for personal favorites, Austin at 13(with Bret stepping over the broken glass afterwards), Taker at 14, Taker at 20, HBK at 12, Owen at X. |

Cena's marching band entrance is still cool, but I just rewatched it and realized I was remembering it different. I had remembered it being much more of a drumline thing, but it was more just like a college band. The cheerleaders were a misstep.

dX band at WM 14 is the best without any flashy props and stuff. Following HBK all the way from the back. Some mild rocking out with the band. Screaming I'M THE f***ING MAN at the camera. The GOAT!

Macho and Liz at WM IV.
Four entrances, always with a different outfit.
Classy and beautiful.
