Cold Pizza: Ranking All 34 WWE WrestleMania’ From Worst To First

WM 21 – This was the night that WrestleMania went Hollywood. A great card that was kicked of perfectly with Eddie Guerrero versus Rey Mysterio. It was also the first ever Money In The Bank Ladder Match. John Cena won the first of his 16 World Championships over against JBL.

Batista ended the night hoisting gold as well with a big win over HHH. Randy Orton had one of his better WrestleMania matches thanks to The Undertaker. Trish looked incredibly sexy in her win over Christy Hemme.

The best match of the night by far was Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels in what many considered the match of the year. Excellent all-around card.

WM V – The Mega Powers exploded as the shows of shows took place from Trump Plaza for the second straight year. The Savage vs Hogan classic remains one of the best title matches in WrestleMania history.

This night also featured 1 of only 3 losses in the career of The Ultimate Warrior as Ravishing Rick Rude cheated him out of the IC Belt.

This was a night that symbolized the “hey day” of the WWF with all of the oldie but goodies on the card. A total of 23 current Hall of Famers. A hidden gem on this night was Owen Hart as the Blue Blazer vs Mr. Perfect.

WM III – WrestleMania III is forever known for two huge matches. The instant classic between Macho Man Randy Savage and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. As well as the main event between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.

Both great matches with plenty of high spots in them. However, the night was loaded all the way around with the greatest names in the glory years of the WWF.

93,000 fans were treated to the first of several Roddy Rowdy Piper retirement matches. This particular one featured the birth of Brutus the Barber Beefcake as he shaved the head of The Adorable Adrian Adonis.

The night saw a solid six man tag featuring The Hart Foundation tagging with Danny Davis to take on The British Bulldogs and Tito Santana.

Who can forget Alice Cooper draping Jake Roberts snake all over the poor mouth of the south Jimmy Hart? An excellent night that you can sit back and watch over and over again.
