Wrestle Mania 26 is only 54 days away. Looking back, what Mania stands out most to you? Off the top of my head, I'd have to go with Wrestle Mania 19. You had Steve Austin-The Rock, Hulk Hogan-Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels-Chris Jericho, Triple H-Booker T and Brock Lesnar-Kurt Angle.

I am going to go a bit more of an old school choice. Wrestlemania VII may be among my favorite shows. I think the show gets kind of hated on because of the stupid turncoat angle by Sgt. Slaughter that they did. Throwing that out, its a really good show. The main event was one of the better Hogan main events in the early Wrestlemanias. The only one better was the one with Macho Man at WM V. The Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage match was one of the better matches in the Warrior's career. It illustrates why the Macho Man was one of the better workers in the history of wrestling. Also, the Hart Foundation and the Nasty Boys for the WWF Tag Team Titles. I remember liking Mr. Perfect and the Big Bossman, The Rockers against Haku and the Barbarian, and Ted DiBiase against Virgil as well. It was a solid show and one that is fiercely underrated.
Now as for a more modern Mania as an honorable mention, Wrestlemania 21 was a great one as well. The first and best ever Money in the Bank Ladder Match. An awesome match between Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero. An even more awesome match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels. Also Randy Orton against Undertaker and HHH and Batista were good matches. There were some weak matches on that show unfortunately, like the Sumo Match and the Women's Title match. Also, John Cena's first title victory over JBL was a bit disappointing. He has gone onto better things but that was not the best start. And the JBL/Cena I-Quit match they had a couple of months later was better.
Other Manias I enjoyed were 8, 10, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 24, and 25. Even if a couple of them were one match shows. Especially in the case of 13 and 25. Steve Austin against Bret Hart in the I-Quit Match and Undertaker/HBK will make my top ten list for best Mania matches.

Mine is most definitely WrestleMania 17, always has been and probably always will be
Regal and Jericho (one of my fave superstars) opening up the show with a solid performance, an amazing Hardcore match, Triple H actually putting on a GOOD (
) match with the legendary Undertaker, and who can possibly rival that epic encounter between two gods of the wrestling business, The Rock and Austin (two more of my favourite superstars). It was overall an absolutely mind-blowing event, and my fave 'Mania.
