Mania Matches

I was going to create a list of my top ten matches in the history of WrestleMania but - when I opened the browser and began thinking what to put in - I realised it would be hard to do.

Professional wrestling has changed a lot since the birth of WrestleMania in 1985 and the definition of a good match has too.

The best approach I could do is list all the WrestleManias in order and name one match from each card that was either great or historically significant. There are a few events where two matches are listed.

I-Hulk Hogan & Mr. T vs Rowdy Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorff
II-NFL and WWF wrestlers in a battle royal that was won by Andre the Giant.
III-Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat, Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant
IV-Randy Savage winning world title in tournament final against Ted Dibiase
V-Randy Savage vs Hulk Hogan
VI-Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior
VII-Randy Savage vs Ultimate Warrior
VIII-Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper, Ric Flair vs Randy Savage
IX-Hulk Hogan vs Yokozuna
X-Bret Hart vs Owen Hart, Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels ladder match
XI-Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam Bigelow
XII-Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels
XIII-Bret Hart vs Steve Austin
XIV-Shawn Michaels vs Steve Austin
XV-The Rock vs Steve Austin
XVI-Mick Foley vs Big Show vs The Rock vs Triple H
XVII-The Rock vs Steve Austin
XVIII-Hulk Hogan vs The Rock
XIX-Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle
XX-Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels
XXI-Rey Mysterio vs Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton
XXII-John Cena vs Triple H
XXIII-The Undertaker vs Batista
