Wrestlemania 30 or 31? I go with 31. I just feel like it's the best ever or the best after 17. I know that's a hot take because 19 and 21 are up there also. 30 was great and had a mix of everything, and the Streak ending is a moment that probably only this Mania was the time to do it. But 31 is still better i would say, the matches were overall a bit better. I liked HHH vs Sting (i know many hated the finish) but i loved the DX and NWO in the same Ring at the same Time moment. Main Event was freaking amazing and the Rollins Cash in is still the greatest moment in a long time.

30 is the winner for me. Bryan starting the night with an unbelievable match (probably the best opener ever this side of Bret-Owen) and ending it with a feel-good title win over two Hall of Famers.
Then you have the shock of the Streak ending, which has become an iconic moment.
The actual open of the show with Rock, Hogan and Austin all in the ring at the same time was up there for one of the best non-match segments in Mania history.
Cesaro winning the first ever Andre was a moment.
You had the Ultimate Warrior there being honored just days before his passing.
Even the Wyatt-Cena match told a good story, though I know some didn’t like the ending.

Maybe 31 would’ve been better for me if it wasn’t for the daylight Undertaker and Sting entrances

30 had one of my favorites of all time winning the biggest match of his career. Hard to top that.

30 had one of my favorites of all time winning the biggest match of his career. Hard to top that. I was going to make a joke about the one random shmuck that wins at WrestleMania but literally everyone that won (including on the preshow!) is a Hall of Famer.

30 was fantastic and 31 was good but had too much that annoyed me.

I am generally averse to spoilers but I had more fun watching WMXXX even knowing the results versus watching WM31 not knowing any results beforehand.

30 is an all time great Wrestlemania to me. I actually rank 30 up there close to 17 and 19.
I don't really remember anything about 31 except for the iconic Seth Rollins cash-in.

30 and 31 are the only two consecutive great WrestleManias.

Hated the streak ending. Bryan's win just got him back to where he was months before, it was hollow without a stipulation to end the authority and sure enough it went on for along time after. Shield were wasted against the outlaws. Women were still in a put them all in one match phase with the likes of Tamina and Aksana challenging for the divas title.
So 31. It was fun, that Rko, Rusev in a tank, Sting Vs hhh nonsense, the cash-in.

30 had more memorable moments which I actually remember (eg. Bryan winning the title/Taker losing), I had to do a search on 31 as I couldn't recall anything about it, but seems 31 had better matches.
I think 31 edges it by the smallest margin.

I'd put 30 as one of my favorite ever Mania's. I don't find anything memorable much about 31 other than the greatest RKO of all time to Seth, Seth's cash in, and wondering why the NWO were suddenly BFF's with Sting. I know he was in the Wolfpac for a while but seemed Sting and The NWO were always Arch Enemies.

30 was a damn near flawless card. Other than Cena winning (the match was fine) and the Divas nonsense, practically pitch perfect.
31 was a miraculously good show considering the truly lousy buildup. Probably a top 10 Mania, but 30 is up there with 3 and 17 for me.

31 has its merits, but I have to vote 30. Bryan has the biggest night of his career, and the match with Triple H is one of the best in Triple H's career, and definitely the best one out of his short-hair era.

What I like about Wrestlemania 30 is that it works well as a WWE series finale. The biggest stars of all-time start the show, Taker's streak ends, and the big underdog defeats Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista all in the same night to win the championship. It's a great ending and you could never watch another WWE show again and be satisfied with that conclusion.

31 is a great Mania, easily top ten material.
30 is my favorite Mania of all time.

30. Even though the follow-up sucked along with some bad luck, Danielson winning the WWE title in the main event was still a great moment.
Didn't like Sting and the NWO being friendly with each other at 31 due to their past conflict, and Sting losing to Triple H felt deflating.
