    So we're coming off a pretty controversial Mania this week. I've heard some claim it's the worst they've seen in a long time and others say it's the lamest ever! Are they judging too harshly? Is it too early to tell? I'm taking thebostoncrab's 'worst' idea and putting it into this tournament as I feel it can be kinda fun to take a few shots at the sport we all love... and also that Wrestlemania X7 will probably just win a 'best of' anyway. There have been 32 WrestleMania cards to date and that syncs up perfectly with tournament style play.

    WM 7. 25 had Michaels v Taker plus MITB. The World title triple threat wasn't terrible and neither was Hardy vs Hardy. Slaughter main eventing a WM really makes me cringe

    Wrestlemania 7, The slaughter main event was terrible and iirc they had to move venue late in the day to one around 1/4 the size of the original one because ticket were so bad (or as they said because of heel slaughter there were "bomb threats")

    Has to be 2. Savage VS Hogan with both dressed in pink tutus would be better than Hogan VS Bundy... Just saying.

    WrestleMania 2 has the distinction of sucking in 3 different cities all at once. for shame. Next up we have two WM's emanating from the Sunshine State. Which was the weaker event?

    Thats a tough one, because both were decent.

    Both decent shows, both nowhere near the worst... Process of elimination - I'll go with 24. Cena v Rock and the Hell in a Cell rematch more enjoyable to me.

    Wrestlemania 24 is one of my favourites. Has the best ever use of a celebrity in a match, a class Money in the Bank bout and anything with this in it is epic...

    tumblr_mm741oqek81qmun4oo1_400.gif


    I vote 28 as the weaker.

    8. Hogan got a main event that he really shouldn't have, instead of the last match being the title match. 14 had the first reign of the rattlesnake, a match I enjoyed between Kane and Undertaker, and a kinda surprisingly fun dumpster match.

    All of this, and well - Tyson. Another vote for 8 from me

    I have a soft spot for 8, but Mania 14 was class. First Taker / Kane match, what a build that was.

    Ya, 8 for me

    Yeah, I'd have a soft spot for both too. Used to be my go to VHSs. I think 8 probably gets ragged on worse than deserved. That said I'd class 14 as one of the top 5 underrated PPVs ever.

    8. For this reason.

    Oh boy, two kinda disappointing shows that managed to have pretty iconic matches in Rock vs. Hogan and Stone Cold vs. Bret Hart.

    13 edges it for me, but not by a massive margin. I think X8 suffered by being the mania after 17 too.

    I dunno.... Both had dodgy main events but both had iconic matches. Rock v Hogan just trumps it for me as a spectacle. WM 13 although 18 will probably advance here

    18 wasn't THAT horrendous of a card. The only redeeming feature for 13 is Austin/Hart.

    When it comes to truly "Wrestlemania"y feeling supershows. Wrestlemania 13 comes from a span of four to five years where mania didn't feel massive.

    13.
