WrestleZone Forums Top Ten: WrestleMania Matches

[Muffin Top Merkley]

I know a good idea when I see one, and I’m not above stealing good ideas from people, tweak it ever so slightly to make it my own and then take full credit for the idea.

Completely stolen, err…I mean inspired by Sam’s previous work, and in the spirit of the upcoming WrestleMania PPV, it’s time to determine the top ten WrestleMania matches as voted on by the WZ elite. Stick your chin up Rattlesnake, Talon & the guy who still prefers VHS, if Dagger’s rise to modship has taught us anything it’s that every vote counts and I am proud to announce that even the voice of the the less successful posters will be heard.

The deets are as follows:

1. 1. After you have submitted your ONE list, If you wish to edit your list, simply post your altered list in full in a separate post. Your previous ballot overwritten.
2. 2. You must have a post count of at least 20 to participate, otherwise your ballot will not be counted because your opinion means little to me.
3. 3. In order for a match to qualify, it must have been contested on the actual WrestleMania card. Dark matches do not count, not that I anticipate anyone actually voting for a match that took place right before the PPV.
4. 4. Points will be allocated as follows :
   1. Match A ; 4 points
   2. Match B ; 3 points
   3. Match C ; 3 points
   4. Match D ; 2 points
   5. Match E ; 2 points
   6. Match F ; 2 points
   7. Match G ; 1 point
   8. Match H ; 1 point
   9. Match I ; 1 point
   10. Match J ; 1 point
   
   Feel free to make honourable mentions, though they will receive no points.
   
5. 5. Voting ends on the 31st of March at midnight, EST. I'll then tally the votes and reveal the list as soon as possible.
6. 6. Feel free to leave reasons and such, but really, who the hell wants to do that?

Any questions? Didn't think so.

Watch in wonder and amazement as I snap on a pair of latex gloves, grab the lube and prepare to grab a list of ten matches out of my arse. I'm sure the same 1997-present bias will exist as did with my list of wrestlers, and I make the exact same amount of apologies - none.

1. Steve Austin versus Bret Hart, WrestleMania 13
2. Shawn Michaels versus Triple H versus Chris Benoit, WrestleMania 20
3. Randy Savage versus Ricky Steamboat, WrestleMania 3
4. Kurt Angle versus Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania 21

7. Steve Austin versus Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania 14
8. Shawn Michaels versus John Cena, WrestleMania 23
9. Randy Orton versus CM Punk, WrestleMania 27
10. Edge versus Mick Foley, WrestleMania 22

Most had better matches at other shows, but hey, that's WrestleMania for you. Hate this list. Still, fuck you, I love Angle/Michaels.

[The Idiot]

Im not a fan of triple threats or any gimmick matches at Wrestlemania. The showcase of the immortals has produced countless one-on-one classics. I will also try not to pick two from the same Mania. So without any further adue...

10. Austin vs. Rock (WM 17)

9. Savage vs. Steamboat (WM 3)

8. Hogan vs. Warrior (WM 6)

7. HBK vs. Jericho (WM 19)

6. Savage vs. Flair (WM 8)

5. Bret vs. Owen (WM 10)

4. HBK vs. Kurt Angle (WM 21)

3. HBK vs. Bret (WM 12)

2. Bret vs. Austin (WM 13)

1. HBK vs. Undertaker (WM 25)

 

[Daniel]

10) Batista vs. The Undertaker - WrestleMania 23
9) Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania 19
