Cosign the last decade of WMs running together. Outside of HHH/Taker, Show/Floyd, WM 30, and some other obvious standout matches (HBK/Flair, Edge/Foley, etc), after WM 21, I have to look up wikipedia to even remember certain shyt. Big Show and Kane vs Carlito and Chris Masters?? Jack Swagger winning MITB?? HHH vs Sheamus ??? HHH vs Orton ??? :scust:
I do remember liking WM 23 though.

Rey winning the tiltle alone made that wrestlemania for me. One of the few wrestling dvd's I've got.

I remember enjoying that Mania for the most part...

I think Mania 25, outside of Taker/HBK 1, is probably the most forgettable.

27 was wack as well.

And 32 might be worse than either one of them, because not only was it lacking, it ran almost 6 hrs. long.

29 takes the cake for me. It literally didn't feel like WrestleMania at all, just an extended episode of RAW. Very little backstage segments, the Cena/Rock promo playing 100 times, and only one match that actually felt like it belonged on the card (Punk/Undertaker). The RAW the night after was what WrestleMania should have been.

33 was ass outside of the hardyz return nothing was lit about it. 32 was weak as hell also.
25 sucked besides basically 1-2 matches. 27 sucked except for 1-2 matches and had a WOAT caliber main event. 29 was ass cheeks with a bunch of rematches nobody wanted and only one good match. 32 was awful from start to finish. Nothing good about the card. I still haven’t watched last year but it sounds like aside from Matt and Jeff returning by surprise the show was shyt too. The worst that I’ve seen in the last 20 years I would say is either 27, 29, or 32. Least memorable is probably 32. Someone described the whole show as “fukk you” booking for the audience.

32, outside of Shane vs Taker, was completely forgettable.

29, 33, and especially 31 were good imo.

To me, 32 will always be memorable because of the terrible buildup leading up to it, the injuries, and how much everyone hated it. I missed three-quarters of the event because the servers kept me from watching it until around ten, when Shane was about to climb the Cell and jump off. Then there was that 45-minute Rock segment that did absolutely nothing for anybody, and the title match that started way too late and bored the hell out of me. So I pretty much saw the worst of what that event had to offer, and watching some of it the day after, it looked like it started off pretty good, but then fell off a cliff after Styles/Jericho and the only thing worth going back to now is the women's match. A match I remember nothing from other than Charlotte's moonsault, the entrances, and the Demi Lovato promo video that aired before the match.

I see WrestleMania 32 as what happened to The Simpsons when Mike Scully took over as showrunner, and WrestleMania 29 is what the show is now with Al Jean in charge of it. 32 was shyt, but at least it got a strong reaction out of me. 29 was worthless and feels like it went out of its way to be as lazy and forgettable as possible. 32 put effort into pissing people off.
