Pretty solid list, tbh, though I disagree with 1 and 2. Totally understand them being picked for those spots though. Michaels and Taker are considered the best perfomers in Mania history and Savage/Steamboat is probably the most talked about match in Mania history.

My top 5 would be:

1. Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart
2. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle
3. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H vs. Chris Benoit
4. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho
5. Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart

When you see them in a list like that it makes it even more obvious that HBK really is Mr. Wrestlemania


































King Kurtis carried him at 21 though

Actually for years I wanted to rewatch the Piper/Hart match from WM8 and this list just reminded me of it, now I can watch it whenever I want because of the network

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Those HBK/taker matches are extremely overrated.

Still holds up. That one is actually underrated, I think.

Even a kid watching WM8 you know you were watching a special match. Just going off memories alone that match should probably be top 20. And a great blade job by Bret.

But @ HBK/Taker matches being overrated.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

PIPER GOLDUST street fight is underrated AGAIN.

 

[The Antagonist]

Those HBK/taker matches are extremely overrated.

Definitely. Especially the second one. The first was great, but probably would only just crack my top 10 Mania matches. The worst thing about the Taker/Michaels matches is that they created this new trend of near falls after mutiple finishers. That makes for a great, edge-of-your-seat finish when done once in a while, but when done all the time it becomes boring and predictable

they didn't create that. it actually made and makes sense in their rivalry because of the career fued they've had. Its logical that HBK COULD take a tombstone and survive it in the match for his career...

 

[KendoNagasaki]

8 Matches in the top 30

8 in the Top 30, 5 of those in the Top 10, sitting proudly at Number One (and he was Special Guest Referee in another)

Yeah.. that type of ending has happened before, but it seems since Mania 25, all of the main events follow that same formula.
