Ranking the WrestleManias - The Bottom 10
So, for the next three weeks, we're going to be doing a series of podcasts debating the rankings for all 30 WrestleManias in order, from worst to first in blocks of ten, and would like to get some feedback to read on the shows.
I've written an article on what I feel are the bottom 10 (if you're interested you can read it here: http://steelchair.co.uk/ranking-the-...-the-bottom-10), and want to hear what agreements or disagreements people have with it, what they would rank higher or lower, and why. For those who don't want to read the whole article, the bottom 10 are: #30 - WrestleMania 9 (1993) #29 - WrestleMania 11 (1995) #28 - WrestleMania 4 (1988) #27 - WrestleMania 2 (1986) #26 - WrestleMania 1 (1985) #25 - WrestleMania 15 (1999) #24 - WrestleMania 6 (1990) #23 - WrestleMania 5 (1989) #22 - WrestleMania 29 (2013) #21 - WrestleMania 27 (2011) We'll be debating the order on the shows and reading your responses and crediting you accordingly, so what do you think? EDIT - For those who may be looking at this for the first time, the show debating this list and taking the feedback below is now online at this link: http://squaredcirclegazette.podbean....heBottom10.mp3 Crazy Like A Fox - The Definitive Chronicle of Brian Pillman 20 Years Later **Featuring interviews with members of the Pillman family, Dave Meltzer, Kim Wood, Raven, Jim Cornette, Mark Madden, Shane Douglas, Mark Coleman, Alex Marvez, Les Thatcher and many more close friends and colleagues** Available on Amazon now: http://amzn.to/2h93SxL Last edited by hb2k; 03-08-2015 at 08:27 AM. |

4,5,6 should not be on this list. 10 needs to be on it

I think 4 gets a free ride based on nostalgia and being being fans of the time period, similar to 15 in a sense. But 4 just goes soooooo long and there very little to enjoy, made worse by an awful crowd.

4 was atrocious. Too long, dead crowd and the majority of the matches were like 5 minutes.
I'd swap 5 with 8. |

I just rewatched 15 the other day and have to agree. Swerveamania was in full force that night. Very good main event, the rest was instantly forgettable.

I think a lot of kids rank the older ones so low because they don't understand how it used to be

Think I might be the only person alive with fond memories of WMIX. I think it was the first Mania I saw close to it happening. Everything before then was SilverVision VHS. Royal Rumble 93 and Mania 9 were the first shows I got to see within a few days of them happening, thanks to a neighbour.
Watching it now, it's clearly very poor, but I still have a soft spot for it. |

Surprised at the hate for WM 29 which I thought wasn't that bad.
WM 16 ranks as one of my personal worst WMs as does 27 and 28 and also 19. |

Your are not the only one, reading this is almost word for work what happened to me. Can't remember if it was live of the next day, but it just seemed like such a spectacle, being outdoors and all. Definitely contributed to me becoming a fan! |
