X8 for me. Simplistically styled, it doesn't promote any main event guys like most of the other posters (with the exception of the iconic NWO logo placed front and centre)

Ape Lincoln

Gotta be X-Seven. It just looks like a classic Pay-Per-View fight poster. Wanna see these two guys fight? Pay for it and here's the details. Love it.

Moneymaker

I like XIVs. Austin, HBK and Tyson. Sells itself. X7 a close second.

Omackeral

I went with XIV myself also. Tyson and Austin ( and HBK actually a bit) look pure bad ass. It looks like a proper box-office advertisement and I've always liked that blocky logo too.

Hon Mention for WM 12 though, the Hollywood/Fox kinda thing going on looks cool enough. Dunno why Razor is on the poster though, he didnt even have a match on the card. Also, It's the only WM that seemingly didnt have a tagline. Maybe something like 'The Boyhood Dream' could've worked but that might have telegraphed happenings.

WrestleMania X8 I dunno why I just like it

Sin Eater

Wrestlemania XX, it's the best of the bunch.

X8 is great, except for the NWO sign, if it hadn't been for that I'd easily have said the top.

Most of the others are grand, never a fan of XIV, the logo is horrible, and XI looks like it could be advertising a crap dj rave night / under 18's leaving cert disco.

Razor is on the poster as he was booked in a Miami street fight match with Goldust that was to be filmed in Miami. Hall got suspended, missed Mania and Piper got put into the match.

Iirc 'Do or Die' was used as a slogan for XII maybe unofficially but Bret mentions it during his pre-match promo and Dok Hendrix said it when plugging merch during the live broadcast.

I think the Wrestlemania XV is the best looking one out of them all with XX a close second. XVII & XVIII have great posters but are let down by the stupid X7 and X8 logos.

Omackeral

Looks like the WrestleMania that's considered the greatest of them all has won the greatest poster of this particular era.

Best WM Poster (11-20) goes to WrestleMania X-Seven with 39% of the votes.

Look out for the final part of this Pick Your Poison trilogy next week as we put the artwork of WrestleManias 21-30 to the people of PW Boards,
