Best Wrestlemania of All Time

[Team Sheep]

17 was great but there were quite a few throwaway matches that are often forgotten. 28 last year replaces it as the best WM for me.

Just curious, Which matches are you talking about? Other then maybe the 6 man with Tazz and APA the rest were all pretty great in their own ways.

I watched it back again a couple of years ago and just thought that Eddie vs Test, the 6 man tag, and the gimmick battle royal were a bit pointless and unnecessary for a Wrestlemania. That's not to say that they weren't entertaining, but I prefer the modern day Manias where almost every match is a major star studded affair. The street fight, TLC 2, Triple H vs Taker and Rock vs Austin more than made up for everything else on that card though. I guess if we're talking well rounded and structured cards then 17 wins every time. But personally at Wrestlemania I like to see as many big matches as possible. The eras are very different though so it's tough to compare. We have a World title match to kick off the show now which says it all really.

Makes sense. Last year was kinda the same thing in my eyes sitting through Kane/Orton and Show/Cody to get to Taker/HHH, Punk/Jericho, and Rock/Cena. I appreciate the response.
