Well my concept of a show stealer is one that wasn't planed to be the high point. Taker vs Trips had huge emphasis and you knew going in that you would get plenty of time and focus on it. Punk vs ericho was questionable whether they'd make it a big deal or give it time to develop, though I agree, Taker vs Trips is a real classic.

If there's one show stealer, it's Trips vs Taker. That's how you tell a story. Easily the MOTY for 2012 and a rare 5 stars at Mania.

I seem to remember the undercard being pretty weak, but I haven't seen the show since it happened.

I have to agree with Jim here on this one. HHH/Taker best match on the card and of the year. I actually enjoyed that match more than I thought I would.

The moment of the whole thing was DB losing as fast as he did because it brought the fan venom out in WWE later and forced Vince to use him better but that seems to have faded some but ye still gets some decent feuds while looking like a goat.

I thoroughly enjoyed Punk/Jericho, but they really failed to create a special moment. It felt like the fans didn't are about the entire first half of the match and everything about it was off. You were sandwiched between the HIAC and Rock/Cena and the build-up was lacking a lot.

I just can't look upon this show due to my own circumstances involving it, but Taker/HHH was a classic.

Since I'm sidelined with flu-like symptons and have a lot of stuff coming up that will distract me from this, here are the top 3, IMO!

WrestleMania XX
WrestleMania X-8
WrestleMania X-Seven

There you have it.

Amazingly you have actually nailed my top three WrestleManias. I think you should still write up your reviews when you get better.

Not having my two favorite Manias make for a sad me. :(

Gah...WM 17 is so ungodly overrated. >_>

Oh and feel better...

It's not me saying that WM 17 is a masterpiece. It's just my personal favorite. In terms of REAL quality, there are some I would put over it, but none I enjoy more than X-Seven itself..

No beef with any of those 3 choices, although I'm not as big a fan of X8 as a lot of people seem to be. Outside of Rock/Hogan, I can't think of one great match, just a lot of good/acceptable stuff.

Give me Wrestlemania 3 or 5 to watch and I'm a happy guy.
Those are in my top 5 as well, along with VI, X-8 and XX. I don't even think VI and X-8 are all that amazing, but I was at both of them live so they win for nostalgia purposes.

I have to agree with you on this one as 3 was so monumental and history making that it deserves to either be number one or two, plus who can hate the steamboat/savage match.

I would have one in the top ten not so much for the matches just because it was the one that started it all.
