[Corndad]

Randomly came across this article ranking ALL 30 Manias....

All 30 Manias Ranked (http://fansided.com/2015/02/21/wwe-ranking-all-30-wrestlemania-events-in-history/2/)

For those who don't want to go through the whole thing they ranked as follows...

Top 3:
1. Wrestlemania 17
2. Wrestlemania 19
3. Wrestlemania 30

Bottom 3:

Agree or disagree?

What are your personal Top 3 Manias and why?
What are your personal Bottom 3 Manias and why?

To add a twist to this thread. State something POSITIVE about each of the Bottom 3 and something NEGATIVE (or something you would change) about your Top 3.

Top 3

18 or X8 if you're cool
23
24

I was at those 3 so they're the best.

[Savio]

I Saw Shisen at X8, we high-fived!

Edit: WOW Wrestlemania 15 on their list is way to low.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Top:
1. III
2. X-Seven
3. IV.

Bottom.
1. 11
2. 9
3. 27.

The Changes:
WrestleMania III- Would have had the heels win the opener. Can-Am cheated with blatant interference well beyond five seconds. DQ.
X-Seven- Wouldn't have shown the WCW jobbers in the arena. Fuck them.
IV- Had Ted Jr. win the title in the tournament. Then have Macho Man chase him for the belt at SummerSlam or maybe Mania V.

Positive about

WrestleMania 11-Owen Hart won his first tag team championship. Whoooo!
WrestleMania 9- Money Inc beat Hogan and Beefcake.
WrestleMania 27- One less title reign for John Chaina.

[MoFo]

Love the Macho/Flair affair, Hogan vs Sid one.

Funnily enough I've written a big article along the same lines and am doing a series on podcasts on the debate, so will be keen to get opinions from here next week. But 9 absolutely needs to be in everyones bottom 3.

[Shisen Kopf]

WM 9 isn't in my bottom three. It was in Vegas. Vegas is cool. Plus Tatanka. Plus Doink.

[Ruien]

Lol at Hogan winning the title after Bret lost it.

[Shisen Kopf]

Yeah that was a super cheesy ending but still Hogan proved that USA #1 is better than Japan once and for all. Kinda like a mini Hiroshima.

[The Condor]

Top 3
1. WM 17
2. WM 8
3. WM 14

Bottom 3
28. WM 12- Goldust/Piper saves it. I really don't like the Iron Man match, and this is the definition of a 1 match show.
29. WM 27- Damn
30. WM 11- Jonathan Taylor Thomas, et al...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So you are saying JTT was a highlight to make it not shitty?

[Nicky Fives]

Top: : 17, 20, 3

Bottom: 11, 2, 8

[The Condor]

So you are saying JTT was a highlight to make it not shitty?

I watched the show. The 1995 celebrities were the only thing that interested me. Abhorrent show.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

True, there was Burt Fucking Reynolds, Jenny McCarthy, Pamela Anderson, Salt n Pepper, Nick Turturo and JTT. Along with LT and his football dudes (including Mongo)

[James Steele]

TOP 3
---------
1. WrestleMania X-Seven (6 man tag was meh)
2. WrestleMania 30 (Bray should have beat Cena)
3. WrestleMania 23 (No HHH on the show sucked)

BOTTOM 3
-------------
3. WrestleMania XXVII (The card was stacked, but only 2 matches delivered: HHH/Taker & Rhodes/Mysterio)
2. WrestleMania XI (Horrible show, but 2 main events weren't bad)
1.WrestleMania IX (Horrible show all the way around except for HBK/Tatanka and that ended in a count out.)

[Corndad]

I started the thread so I figured I better give my opinions on this here.


Top 3

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RInNAdSXhME/TZCG8_-A5vI/AAAAAAAAAEo/bWrvftrBMtY/s1600/wrestlemania17.jpg

1. Wrestlemania 17. By far the best one. At least 4 matches (Main Event, TLC, Angle/Benoit, HHH/Taker) could easily be considered "Classics"

Changes: Would have made Gimmick Battle Royal longer. Ivory didn't need to be squashed THAT bad.

2. Wrestlemania 19. Most Star Studded Mania Ever.

Changes: Booker T would go over HHH. Lesnar wouldn't try the SSP.

3. Wrestlemania 3. Over 93,000 people saw the Height of that Era

Changes: Less Time for Haynes/Hercules. Wouldn't have had Sheik/Volkoff Tag Match that late in the card.


Honorable Mention Wrestlemania 21. I feel is EXTREMELY under rated because the Main Events didn't deliver but the rest of the card was pretty amazing.

Bottom 3

28. Wrestlemania 1

Positives: Even without a single memorable match aside the Main Event, the historical significance of this show is still felt today.

29. Wrestlemania 11

Positives: Allowed Bam Bam Bigelow the Big Main Event Spotlight. Undertaker won. That's always good.

30. Wrestlemania 9

Positives: Vegas. Who doesn't love Vegas? Innovative Idea that just didn't work. Also again, At least Taker didn't lose.
