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

WM 22 – This heated night in Chicago brought countless long-lasting memories for wrestling fans. Edge putting Mick Foley through a flaming table is just one of many. Mickie James tearing down the house with Trish to upset her for the title.

John Cena coming out in a gangster outfit only to put on a five-star classic against HHH to close the show.

Even Shawn Michaels put on an entertaining match against Mr. Vince McMahon, which is only another huge testament to the talent of Michaels. This was also the night in which the “feel good story” Rey Mysterio came up big for the World Title. A fantastic show! This was also the last one that wasn’t in front of a Dome or Stadium crowd. It didn’t need it, it was that good!

WM VIII – This Hoosier Dome show often gets overlooked by wrestling “purists”, but if you go back and watch, you will see just how good this was.

This loaded card has 20 WWE Hall of Famers along with The Undertaker who will be one. It featured excellent matches with Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper, The Undertaker vs Jake The Snake Roberts and Tito Santana vs Shawn Michaels.

The best match of the night was Ric Flair losing his WWF World Championship to Randy Macho Man Savage. The night ended with a shocker as The Ultimate Warrior returned to save Hulk Hogan from a Sid and Papa Shango beatdown.

WM 34 – The only thing keeping this great show from being in the top five, is the abomination that saw Braun Strowman pick some kid from the crowd to be his tag team partner.

With the sole exception of that mistake, the rest of the card hit on every cylinder. That one mistake will cost it it’s greatness however.

The best match of the night was Asuka losing to Charlotte Flair. That match alone could have headlined 10-15 WrestleMania’s, and may have been the catalyst for this years main event choice.

Also helping that was the fantastic performance put on by Ronda Rousey in her match tagging with Kurt Angle against HHH and Stephanie McMahon.

Alexa Bliss held her own and carried Nia Jax to a good championship match as well. The Undertaker and Cena both made their presence felt in a goose bump moment. Seth Rollins kicked off the show with a barn burner against The Miz & Fin Balor. Daniel Bryan made an emotional return to the ring to tag with Shane McMahon, defeating Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

An all-around sensational night in front of the fans in NOLA.

Even Brock Lesnar shocked everyone by beating super human Roman Reigns. Fans were convinced Lesnar was leaving before he up ended Reigns.

AND NOW, THE TOP FIVE!!
