  • 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.

    I know this show has been talked about to death, but it’s hard to start a Wrestlemania series without talking about this one. So hope y’all don’t mind 😂, I’m going off with the content now since it’s officially Wrestlemania season. Be on the lookout🙏🏼

      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.

I look back on those memories very fondly. Anyone who grew up through those "Attitude Era" years was blessed to be a Fan at a time when it was actually culturally "cool". No more of that Stigma -- Oh you're a wrestling fan? It was finally cool to rock ;) your Austin 3:16 shirts. Awesome video, my favorite wrestling memories.

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.

      @@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.

    Being 5 years old around this time, I still remember everything leading up to WrestleMania 17. The promo package for Rock & Austin is definitely the greatest promo package in all of wrestling, not just WrestleMania. You think about how hyped you were when two boxing greats are about to go at it, or two UFC fighters about to have their big fight...this was WWE’s ultimate big fight! And everything else on this card felt important too! I’ll rewatch WrestleMania 17 to this day on the network, and not one time I would consider fast forwarding, I just watch the whole thing. That’s how amazing it is!

    Personal reasons why this show rocked:

    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 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.

    4)21 - Taker v Orton was great + Angle v Michaels was amazing + the torch was rightfully passed to Cena and Batista
    3)22 - Cena v HHH was great + that triple threat for WHC was fun
    2)17 - basically everything you mentioned in this video
    1)26 - Cena v Batista was fun + Undertaker v Shawn Michaels has to be the best main event match ever. It ran this ppv, Shawn said goodbye, the streak hit 18-0. And the match itself was amazing. 3 Tombstones, 5 stars.

      There were like only 4 good things in that Mania, Cena wins his first title, Eddie retains the WWE Title, Benoit wins the World Heavyweight Championship and Taker returning as the Deadman

    WM 17 is the greatest due to Austin vs Rock, TLC 2, Angle vs Benoit, and Taker vs HHH, which were all 4 stars and above. Even Shane vs Vince and the street fight with Kane were entertaining so that makes 6 good matches, which meant the show got better and better as the time progressed. God Bless
