With the 25th Wrestlemania coming up, I was wondering what are some people's top memories, moments and matches from the past 24 Wrestlemanias.

Some of my favorites included:

1. Stone Cold vs. HBK
2. Macho Man vs. Ricky the Dragon
3. Andre the Giant choking Bob Uecker
4. Hogan slams Andre
5. King Kong Bundy squashes the midget
"Coach you were 24 and 58 last year, why the playoff talk?"
"Well we made a couple of key trades . . . and we got The Funk."

Flair's retirement match was really good.  They built it up extremely well.

My 2 favorites:

Wrestlemania IV - the tournament. The whole build up was great with the Andre pinning Hogan despite Hogan's shoulder being up and then the fake ref getting exposed and the title being vacant to lead up to WM IV.  Then the formation of the Mega Powers and the Mega Bucks after WM. It seems like everything I remeber about 80's wrestling centered around WM IV.  Also it was refreshing to see a main event that didn't feature Hogan.  With Savage vs DiBiase you weren't really sure who was going to win.  And the whole event lasted 4 hours!  Good times.

WrestleMania VI - Hogan/Warrior.  Two of the hugest faces ever in their prime, can't really go wrong here.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Exciting at the, but when watched now, one of the worst main event matches ever. 


Hart/Austin was good.
Jericho/Micheals was good.

I still think the best wrestled match of all tiem between two greats is hart/micheals for the hour, that was amazing stuff.

1. Hardys vs. Edge and Christian vs. the dudley boys (WM 16) is easily the best match of all time.

By far the most hilarious moment of any Wrestlemania was King Kong Bundy dropping the elbow on the midget.

that was a really good match, really introduced an element of hardcore to WWF. I don't think it was particualry well wrestled, but it set the tone for some great matches later on that never would have seen the light of day without that match.

I don't know which WM is was but easily the best match I ever saw was Table Ladders and Chairs match with Edge and Christian vs the Hardys vs the Dudleys. I remember the crowd giving them like a 5 minute standing ovation afterward and the next night on Raw the crowd went equally nuts upon seeing E & C and the Dudleys.

I was at 14 too, that was a great event.

HBK - Razor ladder match is one of the best matches I've ever seen...it's what got me interested in wrestling.
