What Made WrestleMania 17 So Legendary ?

WWE WrestleMania 17 is widely considered by many, the greatest WrestleMania of all time. After 36 years, this is the apparently the GOAT. But why is that? Is it because of the main event? The feuds? The story lines? The time period? I mean it did take place during a time when the roster was stacked. Stone Cold, The Rock, Taker and more. Well, all the above to be honest. It was a combination of so many factors. Let’s take a deeper look at why this show was so special, why it was so legendary.

Give wrestlers the go to say what they want and it comes out believable. You can see The Rock and Stone Cold both believe in every word they speak. No scripts, just J.R, his questions and two of the biggest stars doing what they do best. Magic.

Then the promo featuring "My Way" kicks in. Uhhh man when wrestling is at it's best, there is absolutely nothing better in sport or entertainment!

[@pitbull795]

It has always and will always be my favorite match of all time.

[@marvaff6878]

That moment was the uttermost mountain top of The Attitude Era. You could also say Austin uniting forces with McMahon to steal the Title away from The Rock, was The End of the era. It was truly a golden age

[@omarkennedy7056]

I think its illegal for any wrestling fan to not know that my way promo from top to bottom. Steves lines at the end show so much reapect and care the wwf title used to hold, I need to beat you rock more than anything you could imagine. There can only be one wwf champion and that will be 1 wwf champion and that will be stone cold steve austin, with all due respect.

Facts

[@kidofsteel0362]

It was such a mega fight feel. The shot of Rock all pumped walking backstage to the gorilla position. The shot of Austin in the dimly lit locker staring into the mirror. I was like 13 and it felt like the balance of the world was at stake from the hype. Literally like the narrator said “it was like Avengers Infinity War”

Rock vs Austin actually is what broke me. I got tired of The Rock getting screwed over and I was so glad he was redeemed in the long run but it was heart breaking and frustrating to see the Rock give as much as he did and carry the strap as little as he did.

[@losdawg6265]

I could have never imagined 21 years ago that I would witness the greatest Wrestlemania of them all. I’m humbled and honored to have watched it live in the Astrodome when wrestling was at the peak of its powers.

[@Juwellz18]

Literally the Pinnacle of that era, the era I grew up watching. Austin joining forces with Vince was such a shock. And yes it was never the same after that. Rock went on to make movies, the Invasion stuff happened. The horrible NWO WWE run 😔. WWF becoming WWE. Man, wrestling back then was so crazy.

[@hypn0298]

Oo oO the last part of the Attitude Era (WCW Invasion) wasn’t so good, I don’t blame you for not watching that, but you really missed out. WWF got good again in 2002 when they renamed it WWE, the era from 2002-2008 was good, not as good as the Attitude Era but still good, when WWE went PG that’s when it really started to go downhill.

[@jp3813]

@@hypn0298 He didn't say that he didn't watch it. Especially since he listed out storylines that he knew from that time. There was an even mix of good (Smackdown) & bad (Raw) during the initial brand split. So half of the fans liked it while the other half hated it. Exemplified best by the crowd reaction to Royal Rumble 2003's championship matches. In terms of writing, 2001's invasion may have been a disappointment, but at least it didn't have 2002's Katie Vick.

[@vt8811]

It was never the same? Well, yeah. Wrestling is always changing. The ruthless aggression period was great!

[@jrad410]

I went to this show as a kid, only my second wrestling show. Also one of the last major events in the Astrodome. What made it so great with Rock/Austin was that it wasn’t a nostalgia act, it wasn’t some cheap gimmick, you had two guys who were at their peak. The ending was sloppy, but this still just iconic.

Personal reasons why this show rocked: 1. TLC II 2. Angle vs. Benoit (Although they would have better matches later) 3. Triple H vs. Undertaker (SUPER underrated match, H's last great singles match pre-quad tear) 4. Main event (Best of Rock & Austin's WM trilogy) 5. One of Bobby Heenan's last shows on commentary, sharp as ever (By the time the Iron Sheik gets to the ring, it'll be WrestleMania 38!) This show is so well rounded and I love it.

[@michaelbandada9887]

Angle v Benoit at WrestleMania X-Seven is a technical masterpiece, their Royal Rumble 2003 clash is somehow a classic which is a compensation for the awful HHH v Scott Steiner World title match

[@TheTrainFan9]

@@michaelbandada9887 It's not my favorite of the singles matches they had together. Their ultimate submission match a month later and the one at the Rumble are better imo. I did like it more than their 2/3 falls match at Judgment Day '01 (which isn't a knock on the match, it's fine, but it didn't impact me like their other encounters.) And yeah, that HHH/Steiner match was difficult to watch. Most people blame HHH for the burial, but Scott came into that match with an injured foot, so he was severely handicapped in what he could do in ring, which was already a bit limited due to the years of injuries he suffered throughout the nineties. Not to mention the inane build for it including posedowns and push up contests. ...where was I? Oh yeah, Angle and Benoit. Still a good match, not my favorite.

21 is so fucking good. It might even be the best one. Kurt vs Shawn, Orton vs Taker, first ever Money in the Bank, Batista and Cena winning their first world titles, and Eddie vs Rey. Yeah, there’s really not a single bad match on the card and Kurt vs Shawn might be the best Mania match ever. WrestleMania 22 is up there as well. Especially for Foley vs Edge and Mickie vs Trish.

[@steveb9713]

It was the Limp Bizkit “My Way” Rock vs Austin promo, best ever

[@memohdfromwwe_]

17 was the total package of what a World Wrestling Federation PPV is made out of. Perfect build / promotion, talent being at the right place right time. The unique look of the presentation. The ring apron reminded me of WrestleMania VI. You can't get bored watching this event, it was like Velcro to your eyes open.

Dude this is one of the best series of videos I've ever seen good job!!

[@Miggiex]

Dope video !! Feel like we’ve started watching wrestling around the same time , what a time

[@jte1407]

Bro you deserve 100k subs, these videos are so well put together and heaps of work go into them, keep it up.

My top 3 are 3. 31 (Was just a great EVENT The matches were eh but the vibe was the best and hasn't been matched since imo) 2. 19 1. 17

[@RosheEntertains]

i get exactly what you mean about 31. A very unique Mania but i felt it could’ve been better if they did Sting vs Taker and Bryan in the main event

[@shaqyardie8105]

@@RosheEntertains Bryan had his moment the year before. Get that midget out of the main event.

[@RosheEntertains]

Shaq Yardie Is that you Vince? Bryan was ridiculously over and a match vs Brock wouldve been the ultimate David vs Goliath battle.

[@shaqyardie8105]

@@RosheEntertains It's not believable that Lesnar could destroy Cena, Rollins and Cena at the same time and then struggle to beat a guy 10 times smaller than him.

Definitely my favorite Wrestlemania of all time, I'm about to watch it now. Great commentary 👍👍

[@dameisfazo6093]

I love how you set the scene here for how big this WrestleMania was and how the vibe was totally different from others. But just like you said, for me, WrestleMania XIX does it for me 😂, definitely one of your best videos bro💯

[@nickpastorino5370]

I'm also a ruthless aggression era kid, and this is still my favorite Wrestlemania.

[@nickpastorino5370]

@Tim I can see my comment went way over your head, so I'll explain; He said he prefers WrestleMania 19 since he's a ruthless aggression era kid. I replied by stating that being a ruthless aggression era kid myself doesn't make me prefer 19. I instead still think 17 is the best. Got it? It's not difficult to understand.

[@Saint_Svadhisthana_Sahasrara_1]

I truly truly truly believe having Paul Heyman on commentary added something very special to this show. His wrestling knowledge and storytelling and banter with JR took every moment in every match to a level of seriousness and magnitude and gravity that I don’t feel Jerry Lawler could’ve done. I fell in love with wrestling because of this show. I fell in love with Jeff Hardy because of TLC 2. I wish I could go back and watch it for the very first time all over again. That would be magical.

[@jimmymetal713]

I was at this show, the TLC match stole the show, that match alone is so legendary, I remember watch Jeff hard dangling as edge speared him from 25ft then u had the big show Raven and Kane hardcore match, plus Shane vs Vince omg that match and when stone cold came out the lid blew off the Astrodome.

Thank you man I love your videos 🤟🏾🖤

First noti since binging the channel. This show is classic.

[@jjbjjb273]

What you said about wm 17 being the peak was spot on. However I do wonder if wwe had waited a year and got all the wcw big players and had the real Invasion man it would be epic. It would have towered over the attitude era because of the dream matches and the stack roster
