    Wrestlemania 19>>

    Brock Lesner vs Kurt Angle- great main event minus the Lesner botch

    Steve Austin vs The Rock- Austins last match and IMO the best out of their 3 WM matches.

    Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon- fun brawl

    Triple H vs Booker T- solid match the only problem was that the wrong person won.

    Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho- great technical match

    The worlds greatest tag team vs Los Guerreros vs Benoit and Rhyno- decent tag match

    Trish vs Jazz vs Victoria- typical women's match

    Undertaker vs Big Show and A Train- decent big man match

    Rey Mysterio vs Matt Hardy- fun opening match

    17, easily is GOAT. The McMahon match was great. Despite Shane robbing RVD.

    The Rock/Austin match at Wrestlemania 15 was better than the 17 one. That wack ending ruined it.

    Yea, the ending to the steve austin - the rock match was the only bad thing.

    Steve came out and said he wishes he never turned heel and if he could do it again, he would have stunned vince

    Lol Wrestlemania 25 was woat

    WM27 was the woat imo

    i'll give WM25 a 7/10
    the mitb match, hardy vs. hardy, triple threat for whc were good
    hbk vs. taker was classic

    the divas battle royal was terrible, especially since a man won it. like wtf?

    jericho vs. the legends felt like a waste. shoulda been replaced with the unification tag team title match that took place before the show

    hhh vs. orton was ok but disappointing, especially given the great buildup. shoulda been no a DQ match. and HHH had no business retaining the title

    I see all of those WOAT candidates and raise you with WM 9. It had Giant Gonzales, Doink and a whole lot of nothing.

    WM X7 > WM19.
    Heres why

    WM 19
    The crowd didnt gave a what about the Tag Team title match
    The Taker match werent really that good, and Nathan Jones was the drizzling ?
    Booker vs HHH was only better than HHH vs Scott Steiner (RR 03). Wrong man won as stated above
    The womens match was the same old same old.

    WM X7
    Tag Team Title match were a showstealer
    Taker vs HHH was a worthy co main event
    Main event was great for what it did, and it turned Austin heel which was needed at the time
    And the ? Three way was funny as hell

    But what about the gimmick battle royal, Chyna vs Ivory, and Right To Censor vs Tazz & APA? Eddie & Test was average and so was the ? triple threat.

    X7 was the only PPV event that I felt impressed by, from top to bottom, after watching it. i actually said, "I think we just witnessed the greatest PPV ever produced". No lie.......

    made me want to confess to the cable company that I stole the feed just to see the show. I wanted to pay up after witnessing that show.

    Brock/Angle main event from a wrestling standpoint>>>Austin/Rock
    Triple threat tag team match>>APA/Tazz vs RTC
    Trish vs Jazz vs Victoria>>Chyna vs Ivory
    Hogan vs Vince>>Vince vs Shane
    Rock vs Austin semi main event>>Taker vs HHH semi main event

    Had it not been for Austin turning heel and cheating to beat the Rock, this WM would have been the GOAT

    At least Wrestlemania 2000 had the triple threat ladder match. There isn't a single memorable thing Wrestlemania 11. I don't even remember where it was held?
