Your top 5 WrestleMania sets

[Lizuka #BLM]

40's coming up, the Mania anniversary Showcase in 2K24 is coming up, so hey, figured it'd be a good time to do another thread like this. ... Even if is always really hard to find useful links showing off all of them for convenience sake because Google sucks now so you kind of have to make do. Here's a ranking list of the first 37 plus images of 38 and 39, best I can do for references.

I think personally I'm most inclined to say 9, 21, 29, 33, and 39, though 10, 15, 17, and 30 are honorable mentions.

17, 9 and I need to have a MSG set, so I picked XX.

29 for the undertaker entrance with the Brooklyn bridge on fire was excellent. Rollercoaster at 33 also good.

I didn't vote for them because they weren't SETS but as presentations goes I loved the ring carts that the wrestlers rode in during Wrestlemania III and VI. I'd like to see them return in some form.

4, 24, 19, 17, 33.. roughly in that order.

I've stated on the forums how much I like the Wrestlemania 4 design and aesthetics. Technically I'm cheating as I'm including the whole building, not just the entrance.

The entrance for 24 is brilliant, nice and bright, but the way they dressed the whole stadium to make it look how it did is impressive. Apparently the place was a dump beforehand.

19 had a great kinda indoors - kinda outdoors set up, and I like the stage and walkway configuration. WWE seemed to have leaned more into this recently with some of the stadium shows.

17 is just pretty damn iconic. That tall ass set, the colour scheme. Just brilliant.

I've never actually watched Wrestlemania 33 in it's entirety, but I was in awe when I saw that rollercoaster set. Simply stunning.

WrestleMania 23: WWE first dips its toes into "HD" sets, and while this stage didn't necessarily have a theme to it, unlike the rest on my list, I loved how grand and massive it felt, especially since this was the first WrestleMania stadium show since WrestleMania XIX. Not only did it have the feel of a WrestleMania, but it also gets bonus points for having a lot of moving parts to it for multiple entrances (Kane, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels to name a few).

WrestleMania XXIV: This is a combination for both the entrance stage and the entirety of the stadium production. They took the Citrus Bowl in Orlando - a boring, gray, concrete dump, and turned it into something spectacular. It's big and bright and befitting of the biggest night in wrestling.

WrestleMania 29: Despite it taking place in New Jersey, the trappings of New York on the stage - with Lady Liberty above the ring - made this feel like it was something special.

WrestleMania 33: For my money, the best WrestleMania setup they've ever had - the rollercoaster and theme park design on the stage was incredible, the long (long, loooong) ramp entering through the audience, the massive ring above the ring - they did it all and this is the WrestleMania set design that all other WrestleManias are chasing.

WrestleMania 39: The Hollywood aesthetic lent itself to some really cool ideas, and they capitalized on all of them. I love how big and bright and loud it all is, and it plays perfectly as the shows progressively entered from daylight to twilight to night. It's maybe my second favorite all-time WrestleMania stage setup.

They aren’t really sets, but the simple setup for Wrestlemania III and VI with the carts shuttling people to and from the ring was always a cool visual. They made those domes and crowds seem enormous in an era where crowds that size were rare. Even with all the stadium shows they have today, I’m not as awe struck by the crowd like I am seeing those old stadium Wrestlemanias - III in particular. Just a sea of people.

[Pooh Carlson]

XX, specifically when the skyline was on fire for Kane's entrance. Also like the tron in the background where the MSG entrance usually was.

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

I've always liked the uniqueness of the 4 & 5 sets, even if the venue wasn't exactly a good fit for Mania.

[thegame415]

17 was the first one that came to mind. I like 10 as well.

[Jindrak Mark]

33 will probably always be my favorite wrestling set.

9, 20, 29 and 39 would round out my top 5.
