they didn't even mention how fun Shawn vs. Vince was. Vince having his crazy legs sticking out of the trash can, on a table, taking an elbow from the tallest ladder
My one and only issue with the show is Booker T's match. The 4 minute intergender squash against the Boogeyman was the shortest match on the card. The WCW legend literally had to get covered in worms before he could get his hands on the crown and the world title.
Luke talking about Mania 35: 'you can't put that, it's a 3 match show.' Luke talking about Mania 10: only talks about the 2 great matches and ignores the rest of the show
@@beesly01there is 77% percent chance that the steiner math promo is the best ever multiply that by two that's 154% now if we take the 56% chance that Luke is correct times my 43% accuracy when it comes to that prediction I am 100% confident that Luke is not wrong
Why do wrestling fans erase context to make points? Those two WM 10 matches may have been #1 and #2 all time WWE matches at that time on a three hour show. WM 35 was a 7 hour show with 90% of rubbish
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. For me, and apparently many of us from that time period, 17 was the one wrestlemania we absolutely could NOT miss, and I am SO glad I got to experience it. I was out of my seat through half of that showing.
@@slim..reaper I disagree. TLC 2, taker vs triple h, Austin vs rock, the McMahons street fight are the obvious, But angle vs Benoit is really good. Jericho vs regal is very solid. A very good wrestling show. But the importance of it is what makes it the best of all time

Not the first time you've started with a triple match, not the first time you've ended with a triple match, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time you've ever _bookended_ with a triple match. You love to see it
Have never rewatched it , but as a kid i remember just loving Wrestlemania 20 - the two title matches were brilliant with the right winners , Jericho -Christian , Rock n sock vs evolution , Deadman taker returning , and the actual start of Cena era
I had stopped watching wrestling for 4 years and decided to watch it by myself after playing Wrestlemania XIX on GameCube. I was pleasantly surprised how good the show was top to bottom having only slightly been aware for about a week what happened at the royal rumble. Was confused by Goldberg & Brock but saw on a message board why fans were booing and understood.
Curiously both Mania 17 & 39 had very controversial finish for how great they are. One was the fall of greatness and the other is on his way to hit another peak wrestling time
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
@@playingnice101I think that’s a just a common issue in the iwc, you essentially have to follow a template on what’s good and what’s bad or people don’t take you seriously. I completely agreed with his takes on both 35 and 33 as I had similar experiences for both.
Pete's list makes me realize how fans to develop their fandom in the 2010s have nostalgia for the wildest shows. 7 hour cards with 3 memorable matches and maggot projections is an entire generation's nostalgia!
Not for me haha my first Mania was 29, not ideal, then 30 and 31 were absolutely incredible, then I didn't enjoy a Mania for many years. One of my favourite WrestleMania's was actually 36 because it wasn't 7 fuckin hours
100%. It's the most well rounded show, has maybe the greatest ending and the vibe is just immaculate throughout. Most of the babyfaces win so even with something like say Sting losing, it doesn't stink that match. Absolutely my all time favorite with 19 not that far behind.
@@martinmortyry7444 39 Night 1 might be the greatest, it definitely has an argument at least. I can't think of a single bad match on the first night, they we're all at least good.
People keep forgetting that days before WrestleMania X-Seven, WWF just acquired WCW. Giving the end to the Monday Night Wars, and essentially the Attitude Era. They were at its peak.
wrestlemania 20 is so good it might have my favorite mania match ever with the world heavyweight title triple threat. In a vaccum that match is the standard for triple threats it’s so good
The day they release it depends on what happened on that show, so anything to due with Roman/Rock/Cody would get a Saturday show just because it’s such a popular angle and people want to watch it. Since this one didn’t have it, the review will probably be out on Monday.
Mania VIII was insane Hulk Hogan v Sid Justice with Warrior Return in main event Roddy piper v Bret Hart Ric Flair v Macho Man Randy Savage Shawn Michaels v Tito Santana The Undertaker v Jake Roberts Etc….
So happy to see 22 on here. It was the first PPV I ever watched! 2006 was a bad year overall but the good moments are really awesome! And I feel vindicated because 24 has always held a special place in my heart. What a bangin show
I still say X had the best ending. All the babyfaces celebrating with Bret while Owen looks on in absolute disgust setting up the main event scene for the next several months. Such a great ending.
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.
Wrestlemania 22 got me back into wrestling. I'd just moved into my uni digs. I was the only one there. So i went to the big Tesco for something to do, i saw it and bought it on DVD.
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).
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.
I feel like Mania 38 wasn't talked about much. Most underrated Mania. Yeah the main event felt quick but you got Cody returning and had a great match, Stone Cold suplexed on the concrete, Sami and the Jackass crew, Logan Paul showed off, Bianca and Becky and the worst stunner of all time by Vince. Easily on my top 5.
I was there for 39 and yea that stage was incredible it felt like i was a kid again honestly i loved the whole card except cena theory. My high dropped after roman cody but i loved this show had a migrane halfway through day 2 but didnt stop me enjoying it. My best live experience by far.
I understand why it’s not on the list, with hindsight it really can be difficult to rewatch, but goddamn, Wrestlemania 20 is incredible if you watch it only for itself.
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.
@@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.
So happy the guys put X-7 as number one for me its the greatest Mania of all time from the opening intro to the Rock/Austin promo gives me goosebumps every time
The fact that 19 didn’t make the top 3 (actually top 4 the way you did it) makes me sad. Legit great show, and for me so much nostalgia as the first Mania I watched live as a fan. AND LIMP BIZKIT, TWICE.
WM X7 was just magical. There has never been a WM like it. It has possibly the greatest tag title match ever, Undertaker vs Triple H is astonishing, and people forget the 2 out of 3 falls match with Angle
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.
Mania 19 is aggressively overrated. It has some really good stuff on it. But that gets outweighed by the bad. Taker vs A-train & Big Show, Matt Hardy vs Rey, HHH vs Booker T, tag title 3 way and the womens match are all mid or bad. And Lesnar/Angle have had way better matches.
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.
Luke's dead right about WM17. I can totally understand if any young fans watching in hindsight thought that show was overrated, on top to bottom quality it's a middling Mania in truth, but there's a vibe about it that can only be truly appreciated if you lived through the Attitude Era. It's the coolest feeling show any wrestling promotion has ever produced. A celebration of the only era of wrestling (EVER) that embraced the rebellious nature of it's fandom. Even Austin's heel turn, which was a dumb long term decision, compliments this show in it's own little bubble perfectly.
That's exactly how I feel. Noted, I'm 28 and didn't watch during the attitude Era. I get why people say it is the greatest of all time. I understand and respect mania x7. I really do. But to me, goddamn it's like 2 good matches and that's it
I popped in the car on my lunch break at the triple match at the top. Mostly because I make my own list before watching and that’s my 10 as well 😂 6:22 My 1st mania back is 40! I haven’t paid attention since Brock beat Kofi ngl. Shame I missed Big Es run with the belt 😢
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.
I was there for 24 and there was something the camera didn't catch, one of the PA's fell off the stage but didn't hurt himself, kinda gave a quick thumbs up to signal he was okay 👍
Also had big fireworks accident w/sparks flying into the crowd at the end after Taker beat Edge (similar to 33 a decade later, WWE didn't have great luck with pyro in Orlando it seemed lol). When did PA fall?
@@ajk yeah I was up high and it was able to be felt even though it wasn't flammable. The part that the guy fell was during a stage change, for the match beginning after the Hall of Fame class that year, the camera didn't catch it at home but those looking in the crowd did notice cause people were saying, "Ooh damn"
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.
It’s a shock to me how a recent Wrestlemania is in my top 3 considering the top 3 has always been set in stone but yeah 39 has a debate for being the best mania ever (there would have been no debate though if Cody won, then it’s number 1 guarenteed)
You bozos!!! When two things tie for second in anything, the next thing on the list is 4th place, not third! Were you using Steiner math to figure this one out?
JBL when The Shield demolish Kane and the Outlaws: "There goes the Attitude era" 😂😂 Underrated line
Jbl was a horrible person
@@Tucj-zh1dy Didn't realise JBL had died.

I agree with Wrestlemania 22 being lost in the shuffle. Very underrated Wrestlemania with a very solid card
That was my Childhood WrestleMania. Watched it so much
I definitely have time go back and watch some of these cards
they didn't even mention how fun Shawn vs. Vince was. Vince having his crazy legs sticking out of the trash can, on a table, taking an elbow from the tallest ladder
My one and only issue with the show is Booker T's match. The 4 minute intergender squash against the Boogeyman was the shortest match on the card. The WCW legend literally had to get covered in worms before he could get his hands on the crown and the world title.

Not if there's too much filler. That Mania could have ended after Kofi-Bryan. The first half of the show was great. After that meh.

While not officially part of that era, 19 still feels like Attiude era than RA. Admittedly 21-24 as a whole was pretty sweet, though.
“Save for the last five minutes” huh….okay? 40 is better because of those five minutes. That literally was part of what 39 needed.

I was there for 39 and yea that stage was incredible it felt like i was a kid again honestly i loved the whole card except cena theory. My high dropped after roman cody but i loved this show had a migrane halfway through day 2 but didnt stop me enjoying it. My best live experience by far.
I understand why it’s not on the list, with hindsight it really can be difficult to rewatch, but goddamn, Wrestlemania 20 is incredible if you watch it only for itself.
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.
Agreed on all points, it’s unreal how much love 30 gets, genuinely a 2 match show, 2 great matches but that’s it
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
@@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.
I put 20 as the second best ever
kane and taker was terrible, it was cool to see Undertaker back as the deadman but that match is objectively dreadful lol @@Supreme_Valentine
So happy the guys put X-7 as number one for me its the greatest Mania of all time from the opening intro to the Rock/Austin promo gives me goosebumps every time
I still agree with Oli that WrestleMania 30 is overrated
22 will always hold a special place in my heart because I was there, the only PPV I attended
The fact that 19 didn’t make the top 3 (actually top 4 the way you did it) makes me sad. Legit great show, and for me so much nostalgia as the first Mania I watched live as a fan. AND LIMP BIZKIT, TWICE.
Undertaker and Bray having daytime entrances at 31 should be a few points off.
4:18 CM PUNK won it for the 1st time at 24. So "Again" is wrong.
WM X7 was just magical. There has never been a WM like it. It has possibly the greatest tag title match ever, Undertaker vs Triple H is astonishing, and people forget the 2 out of 3 falls match with Angle
0:00 - "I'm sure you're wondering why we called you in today...." 😝
The pure joy in y’all’s faces made me rewind it 10 times more the editer of this video did an awsome job of this lol 😂 love it

Love it when TLC gets uploaded
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.
I appreciate that the double “and chairs” is now just a thing for this series lol
Fun fact wrestlemania 22 got me into wrestling twas the Foley, Edge match that did it lol
You should do livestream watch along of the top 3 leading up to mania this year!
Gets a like from me just for the great editing.
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.
17 has repo man, 11/10 show
Wow, I was just wondering “Huh, have they uploaded a best Wrestlemania TLC video?” What great timing.
I watched Mania 17 and I can say its my 3rd favorite mania with 39 as 2 and 24 as 1
Mania 19 is aggressively overrated. It has some really good stuff on it. But that gets outweighed by the bad. Taker vs A-train & Big Show, Matt Hardy vs Rey, HHH vs Booker T, tag title 3 way and the womens match are all mid or bad. And Lesnar/Angle have had way better matches.
A majority of the matches are the wrong people going over.
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.
Luke's dead right about WM17. I can totally understand if any young fans watching in hindsight thought that show was overrated, on top to bottom quality it's a middling Mania in truth, but there's a vibe about it that can only be truly appreciated if you lived through the Attitude Era.
It's the coolest feeling show any wrestling promotion has ever produced. A celebration of the only era of wrestling (EVER) that embraced the rebellious nature of it's fandom. Even Austin's heel turn, which was a dumb long term decision, compliments this show in it's own little bubble perfectly.
That's exactly how I feel. Noted, I'm 28 and didn't watch during the attitude Era. I get why people say it is the greatest of all time. I understand and respect mania x7. I really do. But to me, goddamn it's like 2 good matches and that's it
I popped in the car on my lunch break at the triple match at the top.
Mostly because I make my own list before watching and that’s my 10 as well 😂
6:22
My 1st mania back is 40! I haven’t paid attention since Brock beat Kofi ngl. Shame I missed Big Es run with the belt 😢
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.
Not me making the same face they did when they all flipped over 22 lol

I was there for 24 and there was something the camera didn't catch, one of the PA's fell off the stage but didn't hurt himself, kinda gave a quick thumbs up to signal he was okay 👍
Also had big fireworks accident w/sparks flying into the crowd at the end after Taker beat Edge (similar to 33 a decade later, WWE didn't have great luck with pyro in Orlando it seemed lol). When did PA fall?
@@ajk yeah I was up high and it was able to be felt even though it wasn't flammable. The part that the guy fell was during a stage change, for the match beginning after the Hall of Fame class that year, the camera didn't catch it at home but those looking in the crowd did notice cause people were saying, "Ooh damn"
I thought Austin was wearing a kilt in the thumbnail but it was only Luke’s shirt.
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 remember it for the bad show carried by an exceptional main event it is.
@@captaintoad89 ya know what. That is valid.
Wrestlemaina 35 as one of the best shows is outrageous
It’s a shock to me how a recent Wrestlemania is in my top 3 considering the top 3 has always been set in stone but yeah 39 has a debate for being the best mania ever (there would have been no debate though if Cody won, then it’s number 1 guarenteed)
Ayyyyy! The 3 way handshake!!!
"Do you wanna find out what else is on Mania 10?"
I feel as if I was locked out of a second three way handshake.
Tempest will never let Dan Layton forget the Wrestlemania 19 thing, will he? 🤣🤣
WM 33 over WM 19 insane
You bozos!!! When two things tie for second in anything, the next thing on the list is 4th place, not third! Were you using Steiner math to figure this one out?
