19 was kind of unique since it was in a venue that's strictly a baseball park. It had the opening behind the stage.
Also kind of strange, but cool, was the entrance stage and ramp being located diagonal to the ring, instead of directly to the left or right of camera side.

Just out of pure curiousity...how many of you were alive for all of them? It seems the voting is very recent.

As far as venues go...nothing beats Wrestlemania 9 for it's unique atmosphere. I love outdoor shows. The card was pretty blah though.

I've been alive for all Wrestlemanias, but haven't been a fan for all of them. They started about a year before I was born.

I have seen them all though, and have been watching since early on. I vote for a lot of the recent ones simply because they are better shows.

Ironically enough, when the overall product started to go a bit south in 2001, the annual Wrestlemania event got to be better. I think it's because they've had more main event names, and a stronger roster due to brand extension/the end of WCW.

The name brand of Wrestlemania got stronger, and they started to put much more into it. A lot of the earlier Wrestlemanias are defined by big main events, but have cards that are a lot more like an average show at any other point in the year.

Wrestlemania 12 is one that sticks out in particular in that regard.

Agreed. I think the in ring product at WM has been fantastic since the Invasion angle. I know it takes a lot of hits regularly, but they really do let it all hang out in the ring and get past all of the crappy backstage stuff when it comes to WM.

Call me crazy...but I think the announcing has made it more enjoyable too. J.R. has a way of creating lasting memories with his calls. Hell, he made the Cena victory at WM25 seem epic. The announcing adds a ton to the match that you dont really realize till you go back and listen to McMahon and Heenan call PPV's.

I'm as old as WrestleMania

My earliest memory as a fan is actually WM III with Hogan Vs. Andre...my older brother was watching it.

I'm surprised no one mentioned WrestleMania 2 - the only WrestleMania held in three different locations. Of course, most of you probably weren't born then or never saw that one. It's actually very unfortunate that, for so many of you, "old school" means the Attitude Era.

Yes, it's unfortunate that some people were born in the 80s and not the 70s.

Again, it's not like I haven't seen the old Wrestlemanias, nor do I fail to recognize them a "old school"
You act like it's people faults that they were 1 years old when they occured and didn't see them. Real unfortunate...

I wasn't trying to imply that it's their FAULT.
It's just that a lot of fans haven't seen the stuff from the 80's, and I think
that's unfortunate because so much good stuff happened back then.
I've missed stuff from before the 80's, and that's unfortunate, too.

It's not unfortunate. They can find it if they want to.

It's like saying it's unfortunate that some movie fans consider Jaws to be old school, when King Kong is out there.
They're both old school.

I stopped watching Wrestling on a full-time basis in 2005 and so my memory of both events are a little vague.

Wrestlemania 21 was the event where Batista went over HHH right? (while Cena went over JBL). While Wrestlemania 21 had HBK/Angle, Wrestlemania 22 had Edge/Foley (not as good, but still totally awesome for completely different reasons).

Overall - I would probably give the nod to Wrestlemania 22 (2006) over Wrestlemania 21 (2005). I think the main-event of John Cena vs. HHH had more significance. I also loved how HHH did the DX chop during that match, and how the crowd was popping huge for The Game.

Wrestlemania 19 probably ranks as my 6th....but it would be a couple spots higher if it wasn't for the fact that Austin fought his last match here (I'm a huge Austin mark and was legitimately saddened when he jobbed to The Rock).
