2011: Sting doesn't trust WWE based on how bad WCW wrestlers were treated 2015: Sting comes to WWE and gets treated like crap and jobs to Triple H at Mania... Guess he wasnt wrong

[@tradne85]

Rob Picken plus the last part of the match threw out the build up story for nonsensical run ins from DX and the nWo.

[@kenstalgique302]

Vince mcmahon jalous of wcw

[@BigBoss1228]

Not necessarily, if he had taken this deal at this time, he could've had that WM match with Undertaker AND avoided that mess that was the main event of Victory Road 2011.

[@arthurdsouza10]

No offense to Sting all the respect to him but bet he wish he took this deal instead of the one he took.....

[@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t]

Devon Foor facts

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

Yup. He stayed in TNA and faced Jeff "junkie" Hardy

[@kayleeblack4303]

I think the Triple H/Sting match was great, but I hate that they broke kayfabe and that STING was the one to extend his hand. Then he got retired by Seth Freakin' Rollins.

[@jeffhardyfan111000]

Bobby Lawson not even that im saying his WWE deal

[@jeffhardyfan111000]

Kaylee Black that wasn't Seth's fault, if he did the same thing to Hulk or Oldberg today and they landed wrong and got hurt its on them. Sting has stated it was him not Seth

[@TheJordanWS]

What about the fact that Edge competed for the World Heavyweight title for 4 years straight from 2008-2011 at WrestleManias 24, 25, 26 & 27?

[@Dontknockmedown]

And this was the only one he won

[@Night-dw1pe]

The big gold belt became Edge's belt...

[@princedevitte9531]

@Lakers fan it was the main event of 20 21 but john being the WWE champ did underrate whc. But Batista edge undertaker were great champions it was del Rio, swagger etc. who killed it

Probably because the Miz has had more time to actually work on his gimmick. Right now Miz is the best heel on Smackdown. Hands down.

[@MinimiMax]

When I heard that The Miz suffered a concussion during his match, I instantly started respecting him a little bit more for finishing the damn thing. I was a fan (one of the few) already but that basically proved to me he means business.

[@TheNerdyGinger]

Still have a lot of nostalgia for this one, despite it not being so great in hindsight. This was the first wrestle mania season since I started watching wrestling

Saboor Azizi right cant forget the guy who wrote the articles

[@ErrisOfficial]

I remember going to this Mania in my hometown back when I was 11. Looking back, honestly worth it. Ended up being in attendance to witness Edge's final match, Triple H and Undertaker had an instant classic, it's always great when the Rock and Stone Cold are in the building, and the Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio and CM Punk vs Randy Orton matches weren't too bad. Looking back it honestly sucked but was definitely worth it. Huge childhood memory for me.

[@jakster16]

Ditto for me. May not have been a good wrestlemania, but having that experience is something I will always cherish.

[@ErrisOfficial]

kari jackson Exactly. Bur I always had this conspiracy theory that Atlanta received a sucky Mania card because it was the home of Vince Mcmahon's biggest rival promotion, WCW, and for all his troubles in the 90s he punished the city for it 😂

[@jakster16]

Good Grief. I know Vince can be demented but if that was the case then he is truly a cruel man. I mean you won man, let it go.

[@joshperkins5974]

I was there too and maybe because I'm 10 years older but we hated the show. A lot of people in my section walked out during the main event and no one seemed to be paying attention during the Rhodes and Rey match. The highlight for me was meeting punk that Friday before at a rest stop

[@JackTheripper911]

Erris It actually wasnt edges final match, he wrestled a house show not long after. but thats not as memorable as is being at wrestlemania

[@jcace13]

They offered Sting a HOF spot and a Wrestlemania match with The Undertaker, he must be the only wrestler on the planet that would turn that down.

[@PowerStruggle555]

#11: Technically WrestleMania XXVII didn't have Edge's last match. 2 days after the crapfest Edge took part in a 10 man tag team match during the Smackdown dark match main event. It saw Edge team up with Christian (first time in years that I know of), Triple H, Big Show and Rey Mystersio when they defeated Alberto Del Rio and The Corre (Barrett, Slater, Jackson and Gabriel). Though Edge didn't actually do any actual wrestling but he was a participant. Bonus fact: This took place at then Time Warner Cable Arena (now known as Spectrum Center) in Charlotte, NC. What makes a fact is a few years prior Chris Benoit wrestled his final match in the same arena less then a week before the incident. Also a few years later Beth Phoenix would wrestle her last match ever (same arena) before she retired

[@nikhiliyengar1510]

Adam has already mentioned this at 10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Edge.

[@apwwrestling2091]

My friend and I were 15 and lived Atlanta. We saved up all year so we could get good seats and FINALLY go to a Wrestlemania. When we found out Miz vs Cena was gonna be the title match we almost cried.

[@charlestown9781]

Good god I remember being at this Wrestlemania. It was trash except for HHH and Taker. All I wanted to see at the show was Bryan's first proper 'Mania match and they took that away from us. No title changes either. I remember leaving the arena and the crowd was all silent as they walked to the parking lot. Severely underwhelming.

Who's telling him?

[@switchblade6]

So guys, we did it

[@rushc5]

Having this Undertaker match before others still isn't as bad as when they had him lose to Lesnar. They had that happen and then a divas match DIRECTLY after. I felt really bad for them because the crowd was silent that whole match still trying to figure wtf just happened.

[@DAMColten]

Now looking back it might be bad, but i must say that up until 33, wrestlemania 27 was the last time i was absolutely uber excited and couldn't wait for wrestlemania to come. I felt the build and everything to it was amazing. perks of me being 14 at the time i guess.

[@andrewwalkthroughs7579]

Don't know why Morrison received heat for that. I mean , his gf didn't receive a paycheck because of Trish and suddenly everyone in the back hated him for not hugging her? Wth

A Fascinating WM 27 Fact: Wade Barrett vs The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Streak vs Nexus Match was originally signed in October (with what happened at Bragging Rights) and not only that - but Wade Barrett was consider to become the ender of the streak.

[@cantguard26]

"You wanna go" legendary words from Undertaker

[@Djarra]

Alex Wright as Berlyn in WCW did a variation of a stunner that was called 'The Cold Shoulder' this was back when he was first introduced as the character before it was pulled for a couple of months due to concern that it mocked Columbine. Around the time of the Louie Therioux Pro Wrestling show where he was interviewed back stage broke Kayfabe and on his return got potatoes from Hacksaw and a black eye from Jerry Only of the Misfits (working with Vampiro at the time) who was being egged on by Buff Bagwell.

[@LanClanKilla]

I still think that Miz promo played right before the match is one of the best WWE has ever produced.

[@MrWhoDare]

Can't wait till they do WM 28, cause that has what I think is my fav match of all time; Undertaker vs HHH w/ Shaun Michaels in the Hell in a Cell match. Great action, great story telling, amazing finish. Just amazing

[@Alex_Ortega21]

So for Mania on Sunday I think Seth is gonna beat HHH clean and then Samoa Joe and KO are gonna come out and then Joe, KO, and HHH are gonna have Seth surrounded. Then Roman is gonna come out to help Seth and then HHH is gonna grab a mic and say "you know what to do" and then Roman is gonna spear Seth and then they'll all gang up and beat on Seth, and there's your new stable for Raw. Anyone else think this would be decent?

[@8kwes_]

Alex Ortega If u sub to me ill sub back

[@MsSpidey2]

Alex Ortega Definitely awesome. which means it won't happen. Cause WWE won't do it

[@campbellwellman503]

This is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking for roman. A heel turn with this new stable with trips, Joe, and KO is the kind of thing he needs.

[@jaquanwaller8937]

Alex Ortega that's not a bad idea, Alex. I didn't think about that. But I don't think Vince would turn Roman heel, I just don't see it happening.

[@neiljackson1717]

[@orjnad641]

This was my first Wrestlemania and the first wrestling event that I ever watched that got me into wrestling. I still can't believe that a show this bad was what started it all for me.

[@Nakajima-oh7kw]

Given The Rock's schedule, am glad he is able to show up at every WrestleMania

[@RobertPaceII]

This Mania was bitter sweet almost like this years Rumble for me. For both I was hoping a much rumored talent that was not under contract with WWE to appear. I was hoping for a Kenny Omega Rumble debut this year, and back during this particular Mania I was hoping that Sting was gonna be there. Really thats on me for hanging my hopes of a whole event on something that may or may not happen. But 2011 was the year for Sting and Taker to happen. Everything was in line for this, but Sting just didn't make the jump. I remember thinking if it doesn't happen now, then it will never go down. That has exactly been the case.

[@christopherballero866]

From WM 25 to 29 Taker should have main evented considering his status & opponents: Michaels, Hunter, & Punk. Each match with Taker at WMs: 25, 26, 27, 28, & 29 were all magnificent and each was match of the night.

[@SinaSoh]

IMO the real wrestle mania for that year in 2011 took place a few months later at money in the bank when CM Punk (fresh off his pipe bomb) faced john cena. Great story line, amazing fan reaction and even a 5 star match. That's what I wish WM 27 would of had!!!

[@XTHHedgehog]

I used to have a DVD of this one and watch it all the time when I was younger... Holy crap I didn't know what a good WM was like at the time

[@Outlaw88]

I can't hate this show. I was there with friends and had a really great time. For me the experience of being at WM live made up for the bad stuff.

[@ChiGuy251]

Man in hindsight, Sting should've probably taken that deal the first time round. Fans could've gotten that Undertaker dream match plus he would've gotten a lengthier run out of it. Instead we got an unnecessarily overbooked match with Triple H and a match with Seth Rollins that's it.

[@HighHeelKnight]

"Theme Park of Mean Marks" -- HILARIOUS! :-D

[@dnananth24]

King Ross vs Hobo Joe... book it!!!

[@KingDIEAHBEATUS]

Orton vs. Punk was the best match of the night, followed by Rhodes vs. Mysterio . Triple H and Undertaker were just breathing heavy during their whole match.

[@Jason_Ultimate]

This was the first WrestleMania I ever saw. Looking back on it, Triple H V. Undertaker was the only really good match on the card. John Cena vs. The Miz wasn't bad, only to be ruined by the Rock, and neither was Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio, but the rest were just forgettable or plain bad.

[@ItsBigMilkman]

So Dean Malenko is the reason why Sheamus and Bryan were on the preshow. I don't like Bryan as a wrestler (he's a much better GM) but him and Sheamus deserved to be on the main show. Also, Sheamus vs Rey would've been pretty cool actually.

[@WaffleAfterHours]

I've really been enjoying this stroll down WrestleMania-memory lane

[@peanut1875]

In watching Mania 31 again earlier. My guess for one of the facts for 31 is that during rehearsal for their match, Rollins and Orton didn't get the Kerb Stomp/RKO finishing spot right once.

[@simplifiedsports6113]

[@banjoowo4001]

my boy undertaker is enjoying on the thumbnail

[@aceldamia9114]

Unless my memory is failing me, I think I recall that the 'Taker/Lesnar moments were more based around a desire for Undertaker challenging him to a MMA match. Around the time this was happening, Taker even started wearing those ridiculous looking gloves that are used in MMA. I guess you could claim that this was all part of an attempt to get them into the ring at Wrestlemania, but I don't buy it. I do remember Dana White saying letting Lesnar do something else would not be allowed, but I think this was after it was clear that a MMA match with them was not going to happen. Also, in no way am I defending Snookie being on the show, or anything having anything to do with her (outside what I'm about to say), but I admit that at the time it happened, and even still, I was surprised that she was able to pull off her back handspring in the match.

[@gingergreek]

It's funny because a few short weeks after, WWE would go on to have its best run since the Attitude era. From the start of Summer of Punk, Christian's "one more match" The rise of Zach Ryder, Mark Henry's hall of pain, Daniel Bryan's world champ run and heel turn. Alas all for it to come crashing down come the Royal Rumble. 1. Cos of persistent injuries to Christian and Henry and Vince and HHH's ego cluster fucking everything.
