What a garbage show. The best match on the show is the opener, and it has a count-out finish. The Hogan title win to end the show is the stupidest idea possible. Everything else is terrible.

WWE: WrestleMania XI (2013)
Another garbage wrestling show. A terrible main event for WrestleMania, both from an in-ring standpoint and a "big match feel" standpoint. A couple decent matches in the middle of the show, but that's all really.

Too old of a show to really judge from a wrestling standpoint, because I think most 80s wrestling is bad and hard to watch. Too many big men. Definitely not as good as the original WrestleMania.

Not very good at all, but a historic moment in wrestling history. SOme decent things happened though. The main event and tag title matches are bright spots. Most of the card is not very good.

A terrible show that fits perfectly into the Attitude Era. Great storytelling and bad matches. If the main event didn't deliver this would have been the worst WrestleMania of all time. A lot of non-finishes.

The second half of this show sucks, the first half is pretty fun. Some really dumb finishes.

Too many short tournament matches that I'm sure nobody cared about, even back then. Very good main event. Lots of non-finishes and dumb finishes to avoid losses for certain guys in the tournament.

WrestleMania 29 (2013)
Just a dumb second half, but a fun first half. Failed to live up to WrestleMania 28, especially the terrible main event. Too many matches that had already been seen.

Okay show but not enough there. Terrible card structure had the show come off pretty flat overall, despite the fact that the best match in WrestleMania history is on this show.

Wrestlemania 2000 - WWF
Not one singles match without a stipulation, but a pretty okay show overall. A lot of pointless tag matches early on, but it gets better once you hit the ladder match. Fun main event, and a really good Angle/Benoit/Jericho triple threat.
Best Match: Triangle Ladder Match
Worst Match: D-Lo Brown and The Godfather vs. Bull Buchanan and Big Bossman

One of the better older WrestleManias. Very good main event. Good IC title match between Rude and Warrior. Too many matches though, a lot of them are really pointless.

Kind of a one match show, but not really. Fun opener, good match between Taker and Diesel. Piper/Goldust street fight is awesome, but technically not a match since it takes place throughout the entire show. Main event is spectacular.

A lot of pointless matches once again, a bad trend with early WrestleManias. Most of them are actually decent though, and the main event is a great match between two wrestlers that aren't usually very good.

WWE: WrestleMania XXVI (Three Disc Collector's Edition)... - Artist Not Provided
A very over-rated show which suffers from the "too many matches" problem that plagued the early WrestleManias. Still a lot of okay to great matches on this card, some short matches though that should have been much longer.

WWE WrestleMania X8 (2002)
Very good show, with some slow spots. Lots of matches but not a lot of bad here. Card structure is the big problem here, as Rock and Hogan should have main evented over Triple H and Jericho.

Two terrific world title matches on this show. Money in the Bank is a very fun opener, mostly everything else is okay or bad. Two terrible matches but all the good overshadows them. Umaga vs. Lashley is better than it had any right to be.

I have a soft spot for this show and I don't know why, because it really isn't as good as I make it out to be. Divas steal the show here, and take both the best and worst matches on this card. JBL and Benoit give us a really good match, both main events deliver, and Edge and Mick Foley put on a classic (I still prefer Trish and Mickie).

WWE - WrestleMania XX (2004)
Very fun show. Too many matches but most of them are good. I say most because Lesnar and Goldberg is complete garbage. Another show with a good divas match and a terrible divas match. Both world title matches are great, the Evolution/Rock N Sock match is good, Christian and Jericho put on a really good lower card match, and the Undertaker's return to the deadman character is fun.
Best Match: Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle

This show is really fun and fast paced. The second best of the early WrestleManias with huge cards. Really good opener, main event is okay, Warrior and Savage steal the show in the middle of the card. Undertaker makes his WrestleMania debut in a decent match with Jimmy Snuka (there aren't many of those in existence). Tag title match is good, too.
Best Match: Randy Savage vs. Ultimate Warrior

The first WrestleMania since the original with a smaller card, and it helps greatly. Main event is not very good at all, but the return of the Ultimate Warrior after the match sort of makes up for the terrible card structure. The world title match should have gone on last. Good opener, terrific IC title match, and a fun eight-man tag in the middle of the show. Most of the second half of the show falls flat though.

Very good show. Great main event, fantastic ladder match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon, and the best opening match in WrestleMania history between Bret and Owen Hart. Not much bad on this show.

A rare Attitude Era pay-per-view that delivers with good matches along with the great storytelling the era was known for. Austin and Michaels put on a great main event, despite the injury to HBK's back. The Outlaws, Mick Foley and Terry Funk shine in a really good hardcore dumpster match. Undertaker and Kane steal the show here though.

WWE: WrestleMania XXVIII (2012)
I really love this show, and at one point I thought it was a top 3 WrestleMania. Of course, after re-watching it I didn't think it was quite that good, but still an awesome show from start to finish. Rock/Cena, Triple H/Undertaker and Punk/Jericho are all contenders for the top match on this card. There's also a fun 12-man tag and a good match between Kane and Randy Orton. If Sheamus and Daniel Bryan had gotten more than 18 seconds this show could have been so much better too.

The show that I hope WrestleMania 31 becomes. I did not care about either main event heading into this show, but the rest of the show was so good that those main events only had to be decent to help this show become one of the best. One was decent, and the other was really good. The first ever MITB match was on this card, and it really delivered. Guerrero/Mysterio is also a great match, as is Undertaker/Orton.

A very good WrestleMania. There isn't much bad to say about these top five shows. Great main event, decent Show/Mayweather attraction, fun opener, great MITB match, and a fantastic Flair/Michaels match stuck in the middle of the card.

The best early WrestleMania, by far. Almost everything on this card is either good, fun, historic or great. Possibly the best IC title match in the history of WrestleMania is on this show. Main event is over-rated, but a great moment.

WWE: WrestleMania XXX (2015)
The key to the internet's heart. Just a fantastic show, headlined by Daniel Bryan. Opened by Daniel Bryan. Triple H and Bryan put on the second best opening match in the event's history. A fun battle royal, a good Cena/Wyatt match and really good triple threat main event make up the rest of the card. Plus, Brock Lesnar ends the Undertaker's streak.

WWF - WrestleMania X-Seven (2001)
A little bit over-rated, but still an awesome wrestling event as a whole. Some slow spots and pointless matches. TLC 2 is amazing, as is the main event. The McMahon street fight is also really fun. Benoit and Angle have a mid-card classic.
Best Match: TLC 2
