181-210

Analysis: We’ve begun to enter the section of the countdown where we find some minor matches whose action surpasses expectations, and main event matches which fell far short of expectations.

Roddy Piper’s boxing match with Mr. T at WrestleMania 2 was a debacle that even Piper despised, but the sheer spectacle of the event brought it in this high on the countdown.

Meanwhile, short, squash matches such as Ultimate Warrior defeating Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Hulk Hogan defeating an exhausted Yokozuna and Sheamus’ 18 second victory over Daniel Bryan all come in within this grouping, meaning this may very well be the shortest block of matches to watch.

Must-Watch: Two easy choices here as far as I’m concerned. The Steiner Brothers’ sole WrestleMania appearance at WrestleMania 9 was in a physical bout against The Headshrinkers, and is certainly worth the time for another look.

Also, cue up WrestleMania 5, and watch a young Mr. Perfect square off against an even younger Owen Hart, under his Blue Blazer persona.

Been a wrestling fan for almost 30 years. I've seen Hulkamania, The New Generation, The NWO, the Attitude Era, and the PG Era, and I've enjoyed all of it in different ways. I still remember standing on the guardrail at ten years old and having it fall over in front of Razor Ramon. I was there live when The Undertaker abducted Stephanie McMahon, and I was there when The Rock surprised the entire TD Garden at a house show. Recently been getting into a lot of independent wrestling, especially in the Northeast. I follow WWE, NXT, TNA, ROH and NJPW, among others, but mainly only watch WWE/NXT religiously. I'll probably be more positive about WWE than you, and I'm OK with that.
