Wrestlemania 17 is considered the best WM of all time by many, but what matches from that show are your least favorite? Dont care for APA/Tazz vs RTC or Chyna/Ivory.

For me, those matches are fine in that they're the culmination of the RTC's destruction, particularly the Ivory vs Chyna match.
I'd put X-Factor vs Sexay/Blackman last.

Probably Jericho Vs Regal. I wasn’t a Regal fan and had always wished Y2J was slotted somewhere else.

I never saw the heat match with X-Factor vs Grand Master Sexay and Steve Blackman
Eddie vs Test
I also hated the finish of Austin vs Rock- which took a lot away from an otherwise awesome match, so I guess those 2

Probably Vince vs. Shane because I was done with any McMahon family drama about two years prior.

Angle / Benoit is very just there. They had far better matches with each other and it has no purpose but to get them on the card.

Eddie vs Test probably.
It wasn't a bad match though.

I can see why someone wouldn't enjoy it now. Did you dislike it pre Benoit incident? Also, I never knew there was a Dark match on this show. I watched the PPV live but I wasn't watching weekly at the time. |

Chyna vs Ivory. Yeah, the story was that Chyna would finally win the title from Ivory, but the way the match went and how Chyna pinned her left a really sour taste in my mouth.

It's worth remembering going into the match that Ivory had taken advantage of Chyna kayfabe injuring herself on a handspring elbow into the corner, then even had Val Venis give her a spike piledriver, so this was Ivory's chickens coming home to roost. She had humiliated and hurt Chyna, and she was out for Ivory's blood. Non-kayfabe, though, Chyna was a kind of limited wrestler, and benefited heavily from either having someone who could work around that or a lot of angles or gimmicks to get her over. Ivory could probably do the former, too, but they went with the latter. (I think it'd be less of an issue, though, if Chyna had been willing to pass the torch when it was her turn to, but I frankly think Lita's rising popularity threatened her a bit. Chyna was the bigger star, sure, but she'd also plateaued by then and was having issues with management, so Lita did represent an increasingly shrinking amount of leverage to her. That, plus she had viewed working with the women as a demotion to begin with, so that wasn't helping matters.) |

I'll say it: Rock vs. Austin. The match was good until Vince McMahon arrived.
I remember the ladder match was similar to another one they had a month or so earlier (even down to Hardy hanging on the belt), so those are my picks for worst.

Yeah they were just thrown there, but boy did they knock out out of the park. If I had to rank them 1) TLC2 2) Austin vs Rock 3) Angle vs Benoit 4) McMahons ---- 5) Eddie vs Test 6) HHH vs Taker 7) Raven vs Show vs Kane ---- 8) Gimmick Battle Royal- Fun 9) Ivory vs Chyna- Exactly what it should have been. ---- 10) IC- I don't get much from this 11) APA vs RTC- A nothing match. |
