Greatest WrestleMania Card....EVER!!!

Double C

Blatantly stolen from the TWC Fight Forums, but I thought it was too good not to take. All credit for this thread goes to Censor My Ass (what, that's his name).

With Wrestlemania being less than two weeks away and a few threads popping up with different variations on the best Wrestlemania matches/make your dream card etc I got to thinking about this one. I can't say that I've seen it around here this year, but it's probably been done sometime in the past because there's no chance I've thought it up myself!

The idea is pretty basic - create the best card possible from matches which have taken place over the last 22 Wrestlemania's.

There are a few ground rules:

* The card will be limited to ten matches and you can only use one match from any given Wrestlemania card (ie. you can't have two matches from Wrestlemania X7.)

* There must be one main event/WWE/World Heavyweight Championship Match on your card. You cannot use two different main events or two different World Title matches.

* You must also select one (and only one) Intercontinental/US Title Match and one WWE/World Tag Team Title Match. This can include Gimmick matches.

* You can only use one gimmick match on your Wrestlemania card.

* You must select one opening bout from Wrestlemania history.

* You can use one of either of the following: Cruiserweight Title Match, Womens Title Match, Hardcore Title Match (this doesn't have to be classed as a gimmick match) or a second gimmick match.

* Any given superstar can only appear once on your card.

As an example, this is my Greatest Wrestlemania Card in the World....EVER!!!

Got all that?
Right here's my attempt.

Opening Match - Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero from WM 21

Gimmick Match - Bret Hart vs Steve Austin (Submission Match) from WM 13

Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit from WM 17

The Rock vs Hulk Hogan from WM 18

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho from WM 19

The Undertaker vs Kane from WM 20

Women's Title Match - Mickey James vs Trish Stratus from WM 22

World Tag Team Title Match - Edge and Christian vs the Hardy's vs The Dudley's (TLC Match) from WM 16

Intercontinental Match - Razor Ramon vs Jeff Jarrett from WM 11

World Title Match - Randy Savage vs Ric Flair from WM 8


God that's hard, but quite rewarding once it's all over!

BTW wikipedia is pretty good for getting all the cards of previous WrestleMania events.

My brain isn't up for this right now. Your show wins!

Mr.Nice Guy

My brain has been trying to wrap my head around this for ages. Every time I think I've a card ready I find I have to make changes! But I think I have my card now. Behold...

WWE title - Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior from WM VI

IC title - Macho Man vs Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat from WM III

Tag Team Title Match - Edge and Christian vs the Hardy's vs The Dudley's (TLC) from WM 17

Women's Title Match - Mickie James vs Trish Stratus from WM 22

The Rock vs Stone Cold from WM 19

Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle from WM 21

Undertaker vs Kane from WM 14

Razor Ramon vs Bob Backlund from WM IX

Gimmick match - Andre vs Big John Studd in $15,000 body slam match from WM 1

Opening match - Bret Hart vs Owen Hart from WM 10

That was way harder than I thought it would be!

Edit: I just realised I can't have Chris Jericho vs Christian from WM20 because Christian was in the TLC match. So I've gone with Razor vs Backlund because it was short and sweet.

I told you this was hard!

Double C

True it's difficult. I knew I was using Austin vs Bret which is one of my favourites ever but that meant no Austin vs Rock and Bret vs Owen. Then I wanted to use Michaels vs Angle too but couldn't leave out Angle vs Benoit, or James vs Stratus for that matter. I really enjoyed doing it though, it was like doing a maths eqaution, one of the easier ones from the pass paper!

Fozzy

Seeing as you've put some effort in, I suppose I should aswell!

WWE Title - Shawn vs Bret, Ironman match from WM 12

IC Title - Angle vs Benoit vs Jericho from WM 16 (I don't see European Title being counted, so we'll ignore that here!)

Tag Titles - Ted DiBiase and IRS vs Hulk Hogan and Brutus the Barber Beefcake from WM 9

Women's Title - Mickie James vs Trish from WM 22

Gimmick match - Shane vs Vince with Foley as ref from WMX7

Opening match - Matt Hardy vs Rey Mysterio WM19

Austin vs Scott Hall from WM18

Undertaker v Randy Orton from WM 21

Mr Perfect vs The Blue Blazer from WM 5

The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff vs The Killer Bees from WM 3 (where Sheik first developed his desire to **** Brian Blair's ass)

I picked a few different matches to ones already suggested, and then I found myself not being able to use most of the matches I wanted to! A lot of Bret's WM matches were brilliant, he really did perform on the biggest stage. Couldn't fit in a decent Eddie, Rock or HHH match either

^^There's a few problems with that card. A few guys were in both battle royals from WM 2 and 4, and Edge and Christian were in the TLC match and the Money in the Bank match. And there's three matches from WM 20!

It's a lot harder than it looks at first!
