The Granddaddy of Them All: Ranking Every WrestleMania Match Ever

Analysis: Here’s where things really began to get tough when it came to determining where each match fell in these rankings, as historical impact truly began to come into play and made things a bit more difficult.

The Undertaker vs Sid from WrestleMania 13 wasn’t a masterpiece by any means, but it was The Undertaker’s first Championship win at WrestleMania, as well as the beginning of his first true reign, with his first reign lasting mere days.

Also, with so many celebrities falling flat at WrestleMania, I felt it was important to acknowledge one instance where a celebrity actually delivered on the hype around his appearance, placing Lawrence Taylor’s battle with Bam Bam Bigelow at WrestleMania 11 at #99 overall.

Fans who were watching the build to that match will remember just how huge that match was built to be, and LT had enough athleticism, paired with Bigelow’s always underrated talent, to pull off a match which worth the effort.

It’s also interesting to note that Trish Stratus and the Divas make two more appearances on this grouping.

Must-Watch: It’ll be tough to give only one from here on out, but Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros vs. Chris Benoit & Rhyno from WrestleMania 19 is one that often gets forgotten due to the multiple main event’s on that card, and certainly didn’t disappoint.

Also, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk from WrestleMania 26.

Hidden Gem: Again, I could choose a few, but I’ll point out another match younger fans probably haven’t ever seen. WrestleMania 5 marked the only WrestleMania appearance for Tully Blanchard and the Brain Busters, a team new NXT fans have heard The Revival, Dash & Dawson compared to multiple times.

Their bout with Strike Force was as much about storyline as it was in-ring action, however I suggest any fans of tag team wrestling go back and check this one out, to see how different a tag match can feel when you don’t always follow the formula we’re accustomed to today.
