How the hell do you not have Hogan vs Andre the Giant on your list?

[Wolfpack423]

How the hell do you not have Hogan vs Andre the Giant on your list?

I like it more for the moment than the match, but I agree with you that it is an important match not just in Wrestlemania history, but wrestling history. It brought it into the mainstream. Believe me, I like the match but it's just not in my top ten.

[Schlomey]

It was not a good match. It was just one of the most prolific WM moments. It won't be on my list ..not even close.

[Gertner]

It's without a doubt #1 on my list.

[St. Jimmy]

1. Chris Jericho vs. Triple H WrestleMania 18

[CSL]

It's without a doubt #1 on my list.

If it's a list of Mania moments maybe, significant/iconic/important stuff etc yeah. There have been 10 better matches though.

[Schlomey]

hart vs michaels - WM 12 is my "off the top of my head" favorite Mania match.

10. Triple H vs Batista - WM 23 - Brutal classic style WWE main event, loved the brutality and realism of the match.

9. The Undertaker vs Batista - WM 23 - Awesome match, the two clicked really well.

8. Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage - WM5 - This reason this match was happening was phenomenal and the match came off really well. I haven't watched it in a long time but I won't forget it it. This is a classic rivalry that WWE should have continued with at some point down the road.

7. Ric Flair vs Randy Savage - WM8 - What a great match these guys had, it's a shame we never got Hogan/Flair in that era, but at least we had this match, which was never duplicated in WCW. This is a dream match that came off like a charm, and I think it will stand the test of time as one of the greatest ever.

6. The Rock vs Steve Austin WM 17 - This match was amazing for me at the time, for years I said it was the best match of all time, however it has not stood the test of time for me and other matches have grown stronger as time goes on, this not being one of them. But still an awesome match, and at the time I didn't mind the screwjob at the end, it was different.

5. John Cena vs Triple H - WM 22 - This match was phenomenal, with a crowd just hot as hell and perfect hard hitting psychological wrestling and one of the biggest shocks ever in a Wrestlemania main event with Trips tapping out.


4. Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant - WM 3- Gotta give this match it's props, its easy to get sucked into that great story from way back, when Hogan had to go up against his former best friend who has been brainwashed with money by Bobby Heenan. That story is why the match is here, it was the culmination of one of the greatest WWE Championship feuds of all time. The match is entertaining and the crowd is amazing, obviously it could be better, but it has its moments and both guys did the job they should have done. Still love it.


3. The Ultimate Warrior vs Hulk Hogan - WM 6 - What a classic match with a hot ass crowd, they had to do so little to be great and this match will always be amazing to watch when your bored as hell.

2. Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels - WM 12 - This was my first Wrestlemania and the story leading up this match was unreal, I had no idea what an iron man match would be like and it seemed like the biggest event I was ever going to witness. The match was phenomenal even though slow at the start. However I think that Bret and Shawn wrestled the perfect match that night and nobody will ever duplicate that hour in history.

1. The Undertaker vs Edge - WM 24 - This match was a surprise for the main event, and without a doubt, stole the show that year. This match basically was everything you could ask for in a Wrestlemania main event, and proved that Edge and The Undertaker were two masters of the game. The reason I give it number one above the Iron Man match, is because it captured a very similar feeling but didn't take an hour. The biggest difference was Edge and The Undertaker are totally different types of Wrestlers than HBK and Bret, their match was a little more intense as far as impact and moves went, granted they were at least 15 minutes shorter than Bret and HBK. We will see if this match stands the test of time, but it was pretty kick ass if you ask me.

[Eklipse]

Most of my favorites have been mentioned. One of my favorites though is Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage at WrestleMania V.

[Nark Order]

No Steamboat/Savage. How peculiar.

[Eklipse]

I think he was referring to WWE or WHC championship matches, not IC or anything else.

[Jordan]

No Steamboat/Savage. How peculiar.

Yeah I was just doing World Heavyweight/WWE Championship matches. Though Steamboat/Savage is the best match in Wrestlemania history.

[Jordan]

Also, I wish so badly I could put Angle/Lesnar up there in the top 10, if would maybe get top 3 for me if Lesnar wouldn't have botched that spot at the end. That just ruined it for me.

We will see if this match stands the test of time, but it was pretty kick ass if you ask me.

I would also like to mention that this match was one of the few where I actually thought the streak was in danger. Edge seemed to have an answer for everything in Taker's arsenal.

[Jordan]

Yeah if there ever was a questionable year it was 24.

[Wolfpack423]

Yeah if there ever was a questionable year it was 24.

23 was a believable year for the streak to end with Batista I thought. I felt Batista was in his prime in 2007 in my opinion. 2005 and 2007 are years that Batista was a huge favorite of mine. I wish he would return but I don't see it happening.

[NormanSmiley]

10. Savage V Dibiase
9. HHH v Batista
8. HBK v Cena
7. Savage v Flair
6. HBK v Austin
5. Hogan v Andre
4. HBK v Bret Hart
3. Hogan v Savage
2. Benoit v HBK v HHH
1. Angle v Lesnar

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah if there ever was a questionable year it was 24.

I didn't really think WrestleMania would end on such a sour note as with a heel Edge ending Taker's streak.

I thought HBK had a shot 2 years ago and was almost sure he'd get it last year. It was the only thing to me that could top the previous year and justify the rematch.
