17 was a straight build up. Not just the promos and gimmicks, but it was months and months of build up. Jim Ross and Hayman were at their peak in commentary, the energy was just fire.

Honestly idk if I'm just being weird but it kinda gets on my nerves sometimes. Because Pete will talk about shows that might not have been incredible but hold a special place to him for being formative in his fandom or even growing up, but they will just shut him right down and laugh despite putting their own versions of shows like that for the exact same reasons

[@MrMrMrprofessor]

I feel like rose-colored glasses and the poor/uneven quality of the preceding wrestlemanias have done 10 a lot of favors. Outside of the opener and the ladder match, the other seven matches on the card range from Ok to quite bad. It was definitely a better effort than the ones before it, but that was a very low bar to clear. All that to say, not sure you can criticize Pete's choice of wrestlemania 35 (which was too long and a three match show) while having 10 as one of the best of all time (which is a two match show).

[@Nightwing7314]

It’s so crazy how all of their lists were immediately wrong after WM40

[@calebjohnson8830]

When they said “hello”, Luke sounded more like Tempest than Tempest did 😂😂😂

[@Supreme_Valentine]

WM30 and WM35 being in the top 10 is BLASPHEMOUS. WM30 is the most overrated WrestleMania of all time. The show is trash if you go back and watch it. The only good matches are Bryan vs Triple H and the Triple Threat, which was a carbon copy of the WM20 triple threat. Everything else on WM30, sucked. The diva's invitation sucked, the Andre the Giant battle royal was mid at best, Kane and The New Age Outlaws vs The Shield was boring as hell. Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar was a boring ass match, and Bray Wyatt vs John Cena was super dumb. I swear 30 is remembered for being better than it was. WM35 was even worse because the Main event sucked, Miz vs Shane was a better match than 80% of the card. WrestleMania 22 was better then WM30, WM33, WM35 and WM10. WM30 was trash, I will fight that to the death. Last little point, if you don't look at Chris Benoit's death and the Tragedy, WM20 still has the best ending for a WrestleMania of all time.

[@fantaconsumer]

Agreed on all points, it’s unreal how much love 30 gets, genuinely a 2 match show, 2 great matches but that’s it

[@captaintoad89]

the ending of 20 and the match before it were incredible, unfortunately the rest of the ppv sucks and that's without the benoit controversy

[@Supreme_Valentine]

@@captaintoad89 Well, I disagree with that statement. WM10 had more bad on it than WM20 did. Now, I'm not saying WM20 is one of the best, because it is too long. But, WM20 had some good and fun matches, Rock and Sock Connection vs Evolution was pretty solid, John Cena vs Big Show was good and nice to see Cena win his first title. Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle was great, Kane vs Undertaker was awesome just to see the Deadman return and the Triple Threat between Benoit vs Michaels vs Triple H was the greatest Triple threat of all time (to me.) WM20 had way more good on it than WM30 did, the only reason people don't talk about WM20 is Benoit and the show being too long, but if WM35 or WM33 is ahead of WM20, length doesn't mean anything. If they removed the Playboy pillowfight and the tag title matches and the cruiserweight open, WM20 would be a top 10 Mania. But, even with all of that, it is still better than WrestleMania 30, respectfully.

[@tinotica]

I put 20 as the second best ever

I know everyone loves the Attitude Era. But when it comes to WrestleMania Ruthless aggression was killing it. 19, 21,22,23,24 all on this list. I know X-7 is the best overall but it's the only one from that time on the top ten list.

[@nathanpreuss3150]

Fun fact wrestlemania 22 got me into wrestling twas the Foley, Edge match that did it lol

[@Homerstar]

I'm so happy to se 24 on everyone's list. Just like Tempest, this was my first ever PPV so it's my favorite for personal reasons, but even taking that away, it's still a great show with some fantastic moments. Edge/Taker is the most underrated match of the Streak, Flair/HBK is an emotional end to Flair's career (if you ignore what happened afterwards) and Mayweather has the best celebrity match of all time (only rivaled by Bad Bunny). Sure, it's not a perfect Mania. The Women's tag team match is pointless and the less said about the 11 second ECW Championship match (which is the only time the belt was defended at Mania) the better, but those are very minor issues on what is a near perfect show.

22 will always hold a special place in my heart because I was there, the only PPV I attended

“Save for the last five minutes” huh….okay? 40 is better because of those five minutes. That literally was part of what 39 needed.

[@GeekOfArabia]

Fine, I'll say it: What Chris Benoit did does NOT change the fact that Wrestlemania XX is, to me personally, a Top Ten Mania, if not a Top Five, and this is primarily because this was an emotional show. Cena beating Show for the US title signalling his push to the moon. The reunion of the Rock and Sock Connection. Eddie lying, cheating and stealing his way to victory against Angle. The return of the Deadman and the beginning of the Streak as a thing. One of the best Goddamn Triple Threats with Chris Benoit beating Triple H and Shawn Michaels for the World Heavyweight Championship. The most Cathartic end to Mania with Eddie and Chris together in the middle of the ring. WWE and World Tag titlle matches and Cruiserweight open were all middle of the road. Victoria vs Molly Holly was barely more a match and more an angle that Molly pitched to get a women's championship match even ON THE SHOW, that according to Molly herself she had to convince management (read VINCE) to not just put on a Playboy Evening Gown Tag Team Match or something. And then there's the bad: The Aforementioned Playboy Evening Gown Tag Team Match. Brock vs Goldberg, a thirteen minute waste of everyone's time that couldn't live up to the hype because Goldberg's contract was up and Brock was leaving, and they couldn't be assed to have an actual match, punctuated by Austin stunning both of them for their their trouble. But none of that matters, because nobody remembers it for what what Eddie and Chris did on this night. They only remember it for what Chris did over one weekened three years later, and that saddens me more than anything else.

I will always bust a gut when little Naitch runs to the ring for his life, hair flowing in the wind, and Taker no sells it.

WrestleMania 23 is the end of ruthless, the next year wwe went pg... i love wm 23, the promos, saliva's ladies and gentleman, hbk vs cena, is just a great WrestleMania Edit: I know that pg transition happened at July, but for me wrestlelamia 23 has everything ruthless agression era was.

WM 5, 20, and 18 are among my favorites.

[@LordBarros]

I was surprised to see 18 didn't make anyone's list.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Oli Davis might not know crap about what constitutes a best promo of all time, but I'm actually with him on 'Mania 30: it's a 2 match show. They're INCREDIBLE matches, but the Battle Royale meant nothing, the 'Taker streak break was a shambles because the Dead Man got concussed, the Shield killing the Attitude Era is hilarious, but it's also 3 minutes. And of course the women's match is an embarrassment.

I live in FL and went to Mania 24 and 28. I loved Mania 24. Lots of great moments. I didn't think 28 was too bad, but Daniel Bryan barely having a match kinda set the bad tone for the day 😆 matches got better as the show went on though.

[@CarlosCruz-ox9wc]

Cody losing was the correct decision. The road to mania this year and Cody winning at 40 confirms it. You really need to stop letting shortsighted emotions color your bias against 39

[@dmercy8477]

Respect for putting 22 on here. That Mania is super underrated and gets ignored too often. I can see why people may consider both 21 and 23 better shows but this Mania is great too. This my 3rd favorite Mania. So many great matches. Shawn/Vince, Trish/Mickie, Cena/HHH, Orton/Mysterio/Angle, Edge/Foley, MITB.

[@edwardsallee6972]

Not me making the same face they did when they all flipped over 22 lol

[@Carlt0nBankz]

Morale of the story, get ready for WWE to piss you off with one thing at Wrestlemania. Pray it’s something small

[@villainslair4398]

Tempest a real hogdipper for putting DPW: You Already Know as #1

[@philgoad5587]

Wrestlemania 19 is so good that it has one of the worst things WWE ever done between story and match ending, and it's still a top three Mania. If Booker beats Triple H on that show, it's my number 1.
