Tommorow’s show has an opportunity to produce several feel good moments, maybe even making it the most feel good mania of all time if they play their cards right. But up to this point what would you say is the most feel good mania? I would have to say mania 20. What Chris did afterwords was absolutely terrible but at that time, March 15th 2004, Eddie and Chris hugging in the ring after winning their title matches was probably one of the best feel good endings to a mania, also the deadman returning and Cena finally winning singles gold made the show pretty awesome

Even though Taker's streak ended there, WM 30. Started and finished on such high notes, plus you had The Shield completely squash a washed up New Age Outlaws and Kane!

WrestleMania VII, perhaps? Out of fourteen broadcast matches, Heels won only four of them. You also had stuff like Hogan winning the Championship, Savage getting back with Miss Elizabeth, the blindfold match between Roberts and Martel and a lot more moments as well.

The best part of that Shield win was it came after Triple H beat up Bryan following their match, so it's kind of catharsis to see Authority goons get rinsed by the uber-cool Shield. |

It also had Cesaro winning the Battle Royal and had many people thinking he was a surefire star at that point before being aligned with Heyman |

WM30 was one of those shows where at the end you go outside for a walk and just high-five anyone you walk past, you feel THAT good.

Yeah, I'm inclined to say Mania 30. Even in spite of the Streak ending, which was still a powerful moment and uplifting with the respect shown post-match (other than the hilariously out of place, "You suck!"), it's just a great show between the opening looking back on 30 years of history, the Authority getting their decisive comeuppance, just a bunch of good fun matches, and Bryan's triumph.

Yeah, well it was XX...
Now XXX I guess. IV has Savage win, but the show is poor, VIII has the most feel good moment ever but you have to endure Slaughter vs Hogan. VIII might be if as it has Savage vs Flair and Bret vs Piper.... But then you get Hogan in the main again...
X might be the answer. Bret gets his moment, Razor wins a classic, Savage wins too.

I’ve been a casual fan since about 2002 and even I was hyped up after WM 30. They fell into it ass backwards but it was great overall.

I’d say WrestleMania 31 (with the exception of Triple H beating Sting) had outcomes that made people happy, including a heel Seth Rollins cashing in MiTB to win the title (mainly because Roman Reigns was so hated at the time, the idea of him dethroning Brock was maligned).

Add to 30 the Hall of Fame class.
Didn't think I would hear the Warrior's music play at a Wrestlemania event again.
Jake Robert's and Scott Hall looking healthy and redeemed.

I'd defend even the streak ending as a feel good moment in a way; it felt genuinely like a step forward and a passing of the torch. Like the nostalgia rush of the last three Rock-heavy Manias was about to give way to a new era and new stars. Cesaro looked made like a made man, Bryan won the title, The Shield beat up some old timers, shortly before then we'd had the first NXT Takeover and even if it wasn't yet the big thing it was, it still showed a glimpse of a promising future to those who watched it. It felt like we were on the verge of something special and a lot of change. It was a kind of hopefulness I think WWE has struggled with ever since, because they've managed to make enough missteps on not only the Mania 30 follow-up but on the changes that followed that people have been a bit more uneasy about things since.

I guess we can add 35 to the list, despite the length of the show.
