WM6 will forever reign supreme in my heart. I was 8 and watching Hogan and Warrior square off was just absolutely epic. Then just a few months later Sting also won his first world title in WCW and both of these moments were absolute highlights of my childhood as a die hard wrestling fan at this time. This was just a great era for true wrestling fans.
Sentimental favourite is 6 (my first) but WM X7 just had it all. Almost all the matches were awesome and Austin's heel turn was shocking at the time despite how it panned out.
And let me say, I seen every wrestlemania from 1985 until today and let me say, they’ve created so many memories. Through my childhood, teens, early adulthood until now. I’m 48 in case you’re wondering.
My favourite WM is WM6. Only because its the first one I watched, as a young fan of the WWF. I'd started watching the WWF in 1989, Summerslam was the first show I watched, thanks to my mate, and also next door neighbour, taping it for me. His parents got Sky Television when it first came out in February 1989 here in England and we were able to watch the WWF on Sky One.
I'm partial to WrestleMania 19 because I was there, floor seats. But I gotta tell ya: It was COLD. And I've lived in the Seattle area most of my life. The stadium looked good on-camera but it was a little chilly that night.
Simply amazing that you got 4000 votes for your vid. There's been serious sociological studies with a fewer sample size than that. This is a testament to how amazing your channel is and if you ever get doubtful about what you're doing, please try to remember this. Said it before but this is THE best wrestling channel on the internet. Can't wait for Thursday!
WM 14 will always be #1 in my books. It was the first PPV I ever got to watch when my parents let me rent it from the local video store. Undertaker vs Kane, L.O.D return, and Austin wins the title. What a show!
@@SammyNail I'll take nostalgia any day of the week over the majority of stuff that gets made today that generates zero feelings of emotion (and that goes way beyond wrestling).
Agreed 100%. While I don't think it was "the best" one, WM8 was the end of the Golden Era (at least in my book), and I was never more into wrestling than I was around that time. Despite its low points, between its many highs, one of the most iconic rosters of all time, and the legendary commentary team being Heenan and Monsoon in top form, it'll always be my favorite on a personal level.
@@Hausbrauen I also really liked WrestleMania 9, despite THAT ending. For a few matches only, WrestleMania 10 was also good for what it was. I guess the main takeaway here is that no WrestleMania had ever been perfect, you just have to go for the ones that had either a brilliant novelty for a theme that year or atmosphere, or just had one or two of the best matches out of an otherwise mediocre card.
Wrestlemania 3 I'll never forget it being 11 years old and my grandfather bought the pay per view which was just the coolest thing ever and started our weekend tradition of my brother, me and grandpa watching wrestling and just having a great time together. Now with both gone all I remember all the laughs and arguments we have pure fun and being amazed by the awesomeness of wrestling
I remember people talking about WMXXX back in 2014 and finally got to watch most of it about a year later and that scene with Bryan lifting those belts in front of that massive "Wrestlemania XXX" banner and the crowd going wild is easily one of most iconic shots in WM history.
I attended WMX7 as a kid for my birthday. One of the best moments of my young life and even better in hindsight when learning that the Hardcore Match almost caused a power-outage while I was away from my dad to go to a concession stand. That would’ve been “fun”
I was at wrestlemania 6 and I still remember how loud it was during the main event. I wasn’t a fan of either Hulk Hogan or the Warrior but I got so caught up in the crazy atmosphere. It was an amazing night.
Pretty good ranking. Personally I voted 31, the most solid Mania of the modern era. A lot of iconic moments and otherwise solid matches. Rollins' cash in, the Intercontinental Ladder, HHH vs Sting, Cena vs Rusev, Orton vs Rollins, even the kickoff matches were great.
17 is such a bittersweet, landmark show in wrestling for me. Really was the big finale to the biggest era we're ever going to see in that industry. I'm so grateful to have lived through that time.
good list but wm 24 definitively deserves to be on this list. i don't care where you place. it. jbl and finlay having entertaining Belfast Brawl, the mitb bank ladder match, one of the best mitb ladder matches, hbk vs ric flair retirement match! floyd vs big show was a fun novelty match for what it was, undertaker vs edge was excellent, this mania was one of the best in my opinion. but at least the ones on this list were great choice too.
13 has probably the best match of all time so I can definitely see that alone making it your fav, but outside of that it does have some simple to fun matches imo.
Wrestlemania 17, I had to beg my parents to order it and had to chores for it. I had to watch that Rocky Austin match, I was Ausin and my brother was Rock so we had our own little rivalry there. But 17 was the first one I got to order live so it has the spot for me. The only thing that would have made it better is if Austin stunned McMahon at the end too.
3, I kind of grew out of wrestling in 1989 I was becoming a teenager, I got into music and partying lol. But I used watch it here and there in the 90s nothing like when I was a kid though.
Have been to 3 live WWF events. First one was wrestlemania X7, went to raw the next night, then a couple months later went to a house show in Dallas. All three had Rock/Austin main event. I’ve been good just watching on tv since…
Wrestlemania 3 takes the top spot for me, but 6, 10, 18, and 30 were great too. Hulk vs Andre. Steamboat vs. Macho Man. Both unbelievable. Warrior beating Hulk clean...didn't see that coming. Razor and Shawn Michaels's ladder match changed the landscape forever. Hulk vs Rock still gives me goosebumps. Daniel Bryan winning the title reminded me why I got into wrestling in the first place. And of course the end of the streak. Again, goosebumps.
Wrestlemania 17 was the last PPV I watched as a kid... My time with WWE was over after that... IDK if it was Austin teaming with McMahon or me just growing out of it but anyways, awesome video as always bro.
Ill never forget as a kid, seeing WM6 video in Blockbuster and being shocked that Warrior was going up against Hogan. Eventually got to rent it (due to having siblings we all had to agree on a film to rent - impossible when you are the only wrestling fan in the house lol) and loved every minute of that event. As there was no Internet back then, no spoilers so i got to find out the result there and then whilst watching. Happy days, genuinely happy days!
A big group of friends and I went to Hooters for 19, just to see HBK vs Jericho. The whole place was filled with wrestling fans. The pops in the restaurant were deafening, and they played it on every screen, plus a massive projector about 8 feet wide. Next best thing to being there. Great night, loads of fun.
The My Way package itself is better than a dozen or so Wrestlemanias. Go watch it. You’ll get chills like you’re watching it for the first time. Kind of sad though because while it makes me feel how I felt watching it back then, how I felt back then was that things were winding down and it couldn’t get better than this.
18:20 Spot on. Something about the way Austin conducted himself in the ring, including his facial expressions and body language, was unusual. Looking back, it really reflects his own acceptance towards the end of an illustrious career.
So many significant memories from these Manias. And alot of nostalgic love that doesn't necessarily hold up if we rewatch with todays goggles. I recently rewatched the Hogan/Warrior match with my older cousin whom hadn't seen it since it happened live. I told him to count how many actual wrestling moves they do and he was baffled by the time it was over 😅 Anyways, superb list here and a good way to start off my Sunday.
When I discovered this channel, I went back and caught myself up on every, single Monday Night Wars video. I have been nothing but entertained. It's amazing how far you have come with every part of your presentations. I wish you all the luck in the world. You deserve it.
My favorite WM was 19. The 2nd half really helped elevated the event and IMO it has the best Rock vs. Austin match. The WM I have the most nostalgic for was 2000. It was the first WM I ever saw live and the McMahon in every corner angle and match is a guilty pleasure of mine.
From Toronto. WM6 was huge. How huge? So big it made the front page of the major newspapers here (when newspapers were big). Friends eagerly grabbed those newspapers to take them to school and discuss the event
Another great video: I agree with the production around takers loss at 30. Best part imo is Haymans immediate response of complete shock after the pin. It one of those things that don't get talked about much but made it an even bigger deal
Voted for WM XX purely for nostalgia reasons. It was the first Mania I watched in full, at 14 years old. I was a massive Undertaker fan, and his return was so exciting for me.
One of my favourite Wrestlemanias ever too. Such a stacked card. It was the only Wrestlemania I’ve ever watched live. It was also after this wrestlemania that my interest in the current product started to fall off. I’ve seen every wrestlemania up until wrestlemania 21.
Even though it wasn't my vote I really expected WM8 to be on the list. The star power alone (whether officially on the card or simply appearing) was incredible. Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Undertaker, Jake the Snake, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, LOD, Million Dollar Man, Shawn Michaels (first singles match at WM), Owen Hart and I'm sure there's probably 1 or 2 guys I'm forgetting.
@@lexkanyima2195 Nah. From a fan's perspective (which was all of us watching back then), most agree the WWF Golden Era ended sometime within 1992 or 1993. Ultimately, it's entirely subjective when exactly around that time it ended.
I was at WrestleMania 30 it’s a great experience (everyone in the audience we’re totally dumbfounded when Brock beat Undertaker) My favourite event was either 3, 4 or 7. I can’t make my mind up lol 7 was the 1 Mania I saw, 3 has the Savage vs Steamboat 1 of my all time fav matches but 4 was a great concept (for me anyways). Great vid btw
I was at 30 as well... incredible experience. Did you uh... happen to see them display 21-1 on the trons earlier in the night before Undertaker's match? I think it was a few matches prior, in between when nothing was going on for a bit, it flashed up for about half a second. A friend and I caught it out of the corner of our eyes and freaked out. "Did you just see that??" IoI... after we realized what we both saw and came to terms with it, we were kind of expecting it to happen. But strangely from everything I've seen since then, very few people there seem to have caught this, or at least not recall it if they did.
Yes please do this with other events, Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series are musts. You have 10 options for King of the Ring. Even some of the B events have long and interesting histories. Unforgiven, No Mercy, Backlash, Judgment Day, Vengeance among others have happened many times and the results can be truly amazing. I have always loved most of Vengeance 2005 for example.
I was born on March 28th, 84. Wrestlemania literally aged with me since the show is always around that day. With that said, the only one I remember falling on my bday was Austin Rock 1. I was so mad when Rock lost but nothing, nothing will ever disappoint me more than Warrior Hogan. That shht ruined my entire year. To this day, I still can't believe Warrior won.
We have the same exact birthday. I'm just a year older than you and I agree. I'm still messed up over my favorite wrestler Hulk Hogan losing to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6.
I was one of those that happened to be done with the day to days of wrestling in 2002. Real life responsibilities took over. Outside of a couple things ("ECW" and Summer of Punk), I haven't watched since, and I don't think I've missed much.
Nice to see Wrestlemania 19 so high on the list. X7 is my favorite but my 2nd is 19 it would be #1 if it wasn't for the horrible Taker match and the ending to the Haitch and Booker match. I would like to see a voted ranking of the greatest wrestlemania matches. I think that one would be very interesting.
17 just can not be beat the build up to the biggest stars of the attitude era facing each other at the time it felt like the rumble in the jungle and the limp bizkit soundtrack still gives you chills
Best channel ever! Wrestlemania X was my favorite because it truly felt like a year-long story and “season/series finale.” That could have been the last WWF show and I would have been satisfied. However, I was a kid and still watch it with my dad once a year. I’m curious as to whether there’s a correlation between age and favorite Mania- I bet most people picked the best show as the one that induced the most nostalgia berries of a time when things were simpler and better. Keep up the good work!
WrestleMania 17 is obviously the greatest one ever, but I have to go with my personal favorite which is WrestleMania 19 with Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar main eventing. That card was stacked for the ruthless aggression era of the company.
Great list. Mania 14 felt magical to me back then. It completely felt like WWF got the spectacle back, manias 12 and 13 felt like they were missing something.
About Booker/HHH, yeah the buildup gets brought up a lot with good reason BUT for me the worst is it took Hunter 1 pedigree and a 20 second break between the move and the 3 count to win. Thats the thing that bothers me still to this day.
Wrestlemania 20 was amazing The Women's title match with Victoria Vs Molly Holly that match was Fantasic that Era of Women's wrestling is legendary undertaker vs Kane was awesome wrestlemania 19 wrestlemania X7 and X8 are all on my list awesome video.
I attended #4 and #9 , both in Toronto. I also watched WM3 via closed circuit pay per view @ maple leafs gardens. I grew up in Toronto and was buying magazines, hanging up posters , good ole days
I voted for 17. But I was at 17 and 19 at 10 and 12 years old. I saw Austin vs Rock twice. The classic TLC match at 17. Brock and Kurt at 19. To this day those 2 days are still 2 of the greatest days of my life.
Great work here my friend. Video well done. My personal fav mania in my (bias) opinion is between WM 6 and 18... only because I was at both of these Manias. To experience Hogan/Warrior as a kid and Hogan/Rock in my 20s live in person was energy on another level from the crowd. I have been to countless music festivals, big time concerts and events through out my life and nothing compared to that. Thunderous energy and pops.
Same! While I don't think it was "the best" one, WM8 was the end of the Golden Era (at least in my book), and I was never more into wrestling than I was around that time. Despite its low points, between its many highs, one of the most iconic rosters of all time, and the legendary commentary team being Heenan and Monsoon in top form, it'll always be my favorite on a personal level.
I like the idea of getting your viewers opinions. As someone catching up on your Reliving the War series, I would be interested in the consensus of the best WWF/WCW ppv's of the Monday Night Wars era!
I was at mania xix for a stag do, greatest live experience of my life, but I agree with 17, I still watch that one with 18 and 19 on a regular basis for how good that era was. WM17 with savage vs Steamboat would've been perfection. If only that match was on a modern day card. My fave match ever
I’ve been enjoying all of different videos I have my own favorites there’s a few matches in wrestle mania please keep up the good work on these videos 😎👍❤️
Wm17 was a must see for me back in the day and annoyingly I couldn't stay up for it I had school in the morning so I recorded it on my VHS and the school day never felt so long 😂 when I finally sat down and watched it, it didn't disappoint, I remember cheering Austins heel turn because I couldn't bring myself to boo him, he was/is my all time favourite wrestler and I wouldn't have gotten into wrestling without him. I was 8 and loved the most unchild friendly role model there was lol
It is truly sad that because of how is life ended so many people forget how fantastic and remarkable the career of Chris Benoit was. He was undeniably one of the greatest pure technical wrestlers to ever lace up the boots, although it is understandable that WWE doesn’t want to mention him anymore.
@@OldMovieRob He had memorable matches with Chris Jericho and Kurt angel and Bret . I was watching vengeance last night 2001 and great match he had. He made it look like a real fight. But we have the elephant in the room. I'm glad his matches are still there but what he did is .... Anyways
Those 2001-2005 Wrestlemania years are the best in all of its history. There's good Manias and huge moments almost every year, but not at the level of consistency and quality of the whole show in those years. '01-'05 WMs are just OP.
Hard to argue with this list. WrestleMania 3 is one I always look at in high regards because it was the one that I was into when I got into wrestling. But great list and good video.
The only thing I didn’t like at WrestleMania 17 was Stone Cold turning heel. It kinda ruined it for me a little bit. Overall I thought it was a good show though.
I was bias in my selection fo 18 as I was there live at the Skydome, but if I was being honest I enjoy the matches of 17 the best. Haven't seen 19 in a long time, so going to go rewatch that as I forgot how great it is. That said, I'll always be fully bias to 3 as I watched that with my dad as a kid on repeat.
I first became aware of WWE aged 11, in 1989 thanks to the first ever WWE arcade game. I was instantly hooked…I was 16 when I met Davey Boy Smith (Really nice guy btw) I was 18 when I saw Wrestlemania 14 live, the official beginning of the attitude era…I’m 44 now, still watching and loving wrestling…
I can see why you obviously would pick Mania 17 as the last RTW show, but I honestly would love to see you cover the invasion storyline at the end. I know its a bit of rubbing the loser's face in it, but Ive been enjoying your take on the shows so far, so Id love the Wrestlingbios tour of Invasion also!
Man you couldnt have said it better, "kind of what you expect with Vince matches and over doing spots" its true with the WM19 Hogan match and also WM17 match with Shane. Both matches which i actually enjoyed a lot back then and still today. Im glad i still watched too from childhood through the Attitude Era and even through the Ruthless Aggression era before stopping around 2010 with WWE. got treated to tons of great WM matches and events.
WM17 is truly a well deserved number 1 here. Everything leading up to the show was just perfect. I was quite surprised that WM31 didn't show up, that would have been my number 2 pick.
Another awesome upload from the wrestling channel with the most jam on the planet. My top 3 wrestlemanias are 17 20 14 I lost interest in the current product after Wrestlemania 20. Therefore haven’t watched a post 20 Wrestlemania.
WM6 will always be my favorite for nostalgic reasons. It happened around the time my wrestling interest peaked as a kid and I still remember how excited I was about watching it on TV.
Perhaps you could let people choose their top 3 in your next poll. Sometimes narrowing it down to only one leaves the choices a little skewed. Just a thought!
Great list! As for the triple threat match at wrestlemania 20, I get why people don’t like bringing it up because Chris Benoit is involved. But taking my personal feelings out of it, it’s still one of the best main events ever at wrestlemania. Such a shame, it could never be praised because of one of the participants.
@@KevinPayton-fq8gd it is. I don’t let my personal feelings about Chris Benoit taint that. In terms of match quality, it’s the blueprint of how a triple threat match should be done. Along with the legendary, unbreakable three-way between AJ, styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe and the one from WWE vengeance with the rock, Kurt angle, and the undertaker.
I agree mostly and if either Booker T would have beat Triple H or if the build up to the match would have been different, it could have had a chance to be better than WM X7.
WM6 will forever reign supreme in my heart. I was 8 and watching Hogan and Warrior square off was just absolutely epic. Then just a few months later Sting also won his first world title in WCW and both of these moments were absolute highlights of my childhood as a die hard wrestling fan at this time.

18:20 Spot on. Something about the way Austin conducted himself in the ring, including his facial expressions and body language, was unusual. Looking back, it really reflects his own acceptance towards the end of an illustrious career.
So many significant memories from these Manias. And alot of nostalgic love that doesn't necessarily hold up if we rewatch with todays goggles.
I recently rewatched the Hogan/Warrior match with my older cousin whom hadn't seen it since it happened live. I told him to count how many actual wrestling moves they do and he was baffled by the time it was over 😅
Anyways, superb list here and a good way to start off my Sunday.
Wrestlemania 20 was my very first wrestlemania experience so I'm happy to see so many others loved it as much as I did
When I discovered this channel, I went back and caught myself up on every, single Monday Night Wars video. I have been nothing but entertained. It's amazing how far you have come with every part of your presentations. I wish you all the luck in the world. You deserve it.
My favorite WM was 19. The 2nd half really helped elevated the event and IMO it has the best Rock vs. Austin match.
The WM I have the most nostalgic for was 2000. It was the first WM I ever saw live and the McMahon in every corner angle and match is a guilty pleasure of mine.
From Toronto. WM6 was huge. How huge? So big it made the front page of the major newspapers here (when newspapers were big). Friends eagerly grabbed those newspapers to take them to school and discuss the event
Did they pay them ?
Another great video: I agree with the production around takers loss at 30. Best part imo is Haymans immediate response of complete shock after the pin. It one of those things that don't get talked about much but made it an even bigger deal
A legit
I like how after he says “you may not like Benoit” he clips in Benoit getting thrown through the table lol
Voted for WM XX purely for nostalgia reasons. It was the first Mania I watched in full, at 14 years old. I was a massive Undertaker fan, and his return was so exciting for me.
One of my favourite Wrestlemanias ever too. Such a stacked card. It was the only Wrestlemania I’ve ever watched live. It was also after this wrestlemania that my interest in the current product started to fall off. I’ve seen every wrestlemania up until wrestlemania 21.
Even though it wasn't my vote I really expected WM8 to be on the list. The star power alone (whether officially on the card or simply appearing) was incredible. Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Undertaker, Jake the Snake, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, LOD, Million Dollar Man, Shawn Michaels (first singles match at WM), Owen Hart and I'm sure there's probably 1 or 2 guys I'm forgetting.
Same. It was truly the end of the great Golden Era (at least in my book). While not the greatest WM, I'll always look upon WM8 the most nostalgically.
@@Hausbrauenit was already in general.
@@lexkanyima2195 Nah. From a fan's perspective (which was all of us watching back then), most agree the WWF Golden Era ended sometime within 1992 or 1993. Ultimately, it's entirely subjective when exactly around that time it ended.
@@rowenpugner3872 1992 in terms of era, not just Wrestling
@@lexkanyima2195 Somewhat I agree with you, though I'd place it around early 1993.
I was at WrestleMania 30 it’s a great experience (everyone in the audience we’re totally dumbfounded when Brock beat Undertaker)
My favourite event was either 3, 4 or 7.
I can’t make my mind up lol
7 was the 1 Mania I saw, 3 has the Savage vs Steamboat 1 of my all time fav matches but 4 was a great concept (for me anyways).
Great vid btw
I was at 30 as well... incredible experience. Did you uh... happen to see them display 21-1 on the trons earlier in the night before Undertaker's match? I think it was a few matches prior, in between when nothing was going on for a bit, it flashed up for about half a second. A friend and I caught it out of the corner of our eyes and freaked out. "Did you just see that??" IoI... after we realized what we both saw and came to terms with it, we were kind of expecting it to happen. But strangely from everything I've seen since then, very few people there seem to have caught this, or at least not recall it if they did.
Yes please do this with other events, Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series are musts. You have 10 options for King of the Ring. Even some of the B events have long and interesting histories. Unforgiven, No Mercy, Backlash, Judgment Day, Vengeance among others have happened many times and the results can be truly amazing. I have always loved most of Vengeance 2005 for example.
KOTR 1993 will obviously be No. 1 just because of Bret vs Perfect II alone and the fact it’s the Bret Hart PPV.
WM 17-21. What a run that was.
If 15 and 16 were better booked, 13-21 would be such a legendary run of Wrestlemanias.
I was born on March 28th, 84. Wrestlemania literally aged with me since the show is always around that day. With that said, the only one I remember falling on my bday was Austin Rock 1. I was so mad when Rock lost but nothing, nothing will ever disappoint me more than Warrior Hogan. That shht ruined my entire year. To this day, I still can't believe Warrior won.
We have the same exact birthday. I'm just a year older than you and I agree. I'm still messed up over my favorite wrestler Hulk Hogan losing to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6.
Wrestlemania and Simpsons have been running long enough to basically measure someone’s age with it. Wild.
Mania 17 was my favourite. That needs its own in depth video as the series finale for Reliving the War.
I was one of those that happened to be done with the day to days of wrestling in 2002. Real life responsibilities took over. Outside of a couple things ("ECW" and Summer of Punk), I haven't watched since, and I don't think I've missed much.
Nice to see Wrestlemania 19 so high on the list. X7 is my favorite but my 2nd is 19 it would be #1 if it wasn't for the horrible Taker match and the ending to the Haitch and Booker match. I would like to see a voted ranking of the greatest wrestlemania matches. I think that one would be very interesting.
Thanks for getting us involved!
Definitely do more of these. This was fun asf
17 just can not be beat the build up to the biggest stars of the attitude era facing each other at the time it felt like the rumble in the jungle and the limp bizkit soundtrack still gives you chills
We love wrestling bios keep up the good work!!!
Best channel ever! Wrestlemania X was my favorite because it truly felt like a year-long story and “season/series finale.” That could have been the last WWF show and I would have been satisfied. However, I was a kid and still watch it with my dad once a year. I’m curious as to whether there’s a correlation between age and favorite Mania- I bet most people picked the best show as the one that induced the most nostalgia berries of a time when things were simpler and better. Keep up the good work!
One thing i love about your channel is that you don’t fall in to the wrestling trends of hating certain wrestlers or matches. Love your takes 👍
WrestleMania 17 is obviously the greatest one ever, but I have to go with my personal favorite which is WrestleMania 19 with Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar main eventing. That card was stacked for the ruthless aggression era of the company.
I still can’t believe I witnessed Mania 17 live in Houston!!!!
Great list. Mania 14 felt magical to me back then. It completely felt like WWF got the spectacle back, manias 12 and 13 felt like they were missing something.
12 is really good and 13 kinda just felt like a 1 match show.
About Booker/HHH, yeah the buildup gets brought up a lot with good reason BUT for me the worst is it took Hunter 1 pedigree and a 20 second break between the move and the 3 count to win. Thats the thing that bothers me still to this day.
I was at Wrestlemania 6 in Toronto! I had so much fun as a child!
Surely mania 14 was my favorite..shot Austin into legend status...u make great videos..love the channel..👍💞💞
Thank you for the content! I shattered my ankle and can't get out of bed.
Wrestlemania 20 was amazing The Women's title match with Victoria Vs Molly Holly that match was Fantasic that Era of Women's wrestling is legendary undertaker vs Kane was awesome wrestlemania 19 wrestlemania X7 and X8 are all on my list awesome video.
In my opinion my favorites are all around the times of the Monday Night Wars. Both companies elevated my interest and kept me passionate.
I attended #4 and #9 , both in Toronto. I also watched WM3 via closed circuit pay per view @ maple leafs gardens. I grew up in Toronto and was buying magazines, hanging up posters , good ole days
I voted for 17. But I was at 17 and 19 at 10 and 12 years old. I saw Austin vs Rock twice. The classic TLC match at 17. Brock and Kurt at 19. To this day those 2 days are still 2 of the greatest days of my life.
Great work here my friend. Video well done. My personal fav mania in my (bias) opinion is between WM 6 and 18... only because I was at both of these Manias.
To experience Hogan/Warrior as a kid and Hogan/Rock in my 20s live in person was energy on another level from the crowd. I have been to countless music festivals, big time concerts and events through out my life and nothing compared to that. Thunderous energy and pops.
WRESTLEMANIA 8 IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WRESTLEMANIA 😍 ❤️
Same! While I don't think it was "the best" one, WM8 was the end of the Golden Era (at least in my book), and I was never more into wrestling than I was around that time. Despite its low points, between its many highs, one of the most iconic rosters of all time, and the legendary commentary team being Heenan and Monsoon in top form, it'll always be my favorite on a personal level.
I like the idea of getting your viewers opinions.
As someone catching up on your Reliving the War series, I would be interested in the consensus of the best WWF/WCW ppv's of the Monday Night Wars era!
I liked Wrestlmania 4 personally. Randy Savage getting his day during the Hogan Era.
I agree Savage beat 4 guys in one night!
No one knew who was going to win the WM6 main event. That made WM6 super damn cool.
I was at mania xix for a stag do, greatest live experience of my life, but I agree with 17, I still watch that one with 18 and 19 on a regular basis for how good that era was. WM17 with savage vs Steamboat would've been perfection. If only that match was on a modern day card. My fave match ever
Wrestlemania 10 was my peak fandom of the WWE. I'm happy to have been a part of this man 💪🏾
Finding this channel has reignited the flame that is Pro Wrestling!! Thank you Wrestling Bios!!!!
I have to say. The Austin heel turn Wass even more unexpected and jawdropping at the time than the end of the streak
No it was not unexpected it was painfully obvious that he was turning heel one of the many reasons I hate x7
@@reddhead2948 well I was pretty young and not all that wised up. Like at the event I could see it coming and I was gutted but wow it had a reaction
I didn't know but I was ignorant to a bunch of stuff back then
You're right, as a kid watching WM6, I was so torn between my two favorites. Warrior Rules!!!!!!
I’ve been enjoying all of different videos I have my own favorites there’s a few matches in wrestle mania please keep up the good work on these videos 😎👍❤️
Mania 19 is one of my favorites, I loved angle and lesnar, michaels and jericho, and mcmahon and hogan. What a great show
Wm17 was a must see for me back in the day and annoyingly I couldn't stay up for it I had school in the morning so I recorded it on my VHS and the school day never felt so long 😂 when I finally sat down and watched it, it didn't disappoint, I remember cheering Austins heel turn because I couldn't bring myself to boo him, he was/is my all time favourite wrestler and I wouldn't have gotten into wrestling without him. I was 8 and loved the most unchild friendly role model there was lol
It is truly sad that because of how is life ended so many people forget how fantastic and remarkable the career of Chris Benoit was. He was undeniably one of the greatest pure technical wrestlers to ever lace up the boots, although it is understandable that WWE doesn’t want to mention him anymore.
Very talented murder. No offense.
I really enjoyed his match with Brett Hart
@@OldMovieRob He had memorable matches with Chris Jericho and Kurt angel and Bret . I was watching vengeance last night 2001 and great match he had. He made it look like a real fight. But we have the elephant in the room. I'm glad his matches are still there but what he did is .... Anyways
I don't see why people have a hard time understanding that he wasn't a murderer for his entire wrestling career. He never wrestled after what he did
Remarkable debatable. He was a Midcard guy for 20 of his 22 years in wrestling. He was a great technical wrestler but he wasn’t a great talker.
Those 2001-2005 Wrestlemania years are the best in all of its history. There's good Manias and huge moments almost every year, but not at the level of consistency and quality of the whole show in those years. '01-'05 WMs are just OP.
Hard to argue with this list. WrestleMania 3 is one I always look at in high regards because it was the one that I was into when I got into wrestling. But great list and good video.
The only thing I didn’t like at WrestleMania 17 was Stone Cold turning heel. It kinda ruined it for me a little bit. Overall I thought it was a good show though.
same here
Yeah. It loses points with me for that alone.
I was bias in my selection fo 18 as I was there live at the Skydome, but if I was being honest I enjoy the matches of 17 the best.
Haven't seen 19 in a long time, so going to go rewatch that as I forgot how great it is. That said, I'll always be fully bias to 3 as I watched that with my dad as a kid on repeat.
Man now I'm sad I know when the show is ending lol!!! Good video bro
I legit can't decide between 17 & 19, I used a coin flip to decide my pick which ended up on 17.
I first became aware of WWE aged 11, in 1989 thanks to the first ever WWE arcade game. I was instantly hooked…I was 16 when I met Davey Boy Smith (Really nice guy btw) I was 18 when I saw Wrestlemania 14 live, the official beginning of the attitude era…I’m 44 now, still watching and loving wrestling…
Good thing you survived his lethal chin lock to tell the story.
Hearing you mention the final episode of RtW makes me sad and its still years down the road.
I can see why you obviously would pick Mania 17 as the last RTW show, but I honestly would love to see you cover the invasion storyline at the end.
I know its a bit of rubbing the loser's face in it, but Ive been enjoying your take on the shows so far, so Id love the Wrestlingbios tour of Invasion also!
WM 17, 3, 6, 10, 20, 30, 19, 23, 22, 21, TOP 10 WM OF ALL TIME, WM X7 GREATEST OF ALL TIME,
Man you couldnt have said it better, "kind of what you expect with Vince matches and over doing spots" its true with the WM19 Hogan match and also WM17 match with Shane. Both matches which i actually enjoyed a lot back then and still today. Im glad i still watched too from childhood through the Attitude Era and even through the Ruthless Aggression era before stopping around 2010 with WWE. got treated to tons of great WM matches and events.
WM17 is truly a well deserved number 1 here. Everything leading up to the show was just perfect. I was quite surprised that WM31 didn't show up, that would have been my number 2 pick.
Another awesome upload from the wrestling channel with the most jam on the planet.
My top 3 wrestlemanias are
17
20
14
I lost interest in the current product after Wrestlemania 20. Therefore haven’t watched a post 20 Wrestlemania.
WM6 will always be my favorite for nostalgic reasons. It happened around the time my wrestling interest peaked as a kid and I still remember how excited I was about watching it on TV.
Perhaps you could let people choose their top 3 in your next poll. Sometimes narrowing it down to only one leaves the choices a little skewed. Just a thought!
I gotta go with 17, 20, and 21.
I love the cage side videos. Hope you keep doing them.
Great list! As for the triple threat match at wrestlemania 20, I get why people don’t like bringing it up because Chris Benoit is involved. But taking my personal feelings out of it, it’s still one of the best main events ever at wrestlemania. Such a shame, it could never be praised because of one of the participants.
Same with me. The main event is still one of my favorite triple threat matches ever.
@@KevinPayton-fq8gd it is. I don’t let my personal feelings about Chris Benoit taint that. In terms of match quality, it’s the blueprint of how a triple threat match should be done. Along with the legendary, unbreakable three-way between AJ, styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe and the one from WWE vengeance with the rock, Kurt angle, and the undertaker.
WM19 was special. Every single match delivered the goods.
I agree mostly and if either Booker T would have beat Triple H or if the build up to the match would have been different, it could have had a chance to be better than WM X7.
Great topic and insights as usual Ryan👍
