In no order. Hogan v Rock, Bret v Perfect SS 91, Flair v Funk I Quit Clash, Savage v Steamboat, Okada v Omega WK, Liger v Pillman SuperBrawl 92, Taker v Foley HIAC, Taker v Shawn first Mania match, Royal Rumble 92, Hogan v Andre III, Hogan v Goldberg, Austin v Bret Mania 13, Flair v Sting Clash 1, Punk v Cena MITB, and Angle v Shane KOTR. There are 15 off the top of my head.

I think this match certainly qualifies. As much as I loved seeing Angle, Mysterio and Orton in person in a fantastic match at mania, I feel cheated watching this match again. Taker really got out of his comfort zone in some spots and helped out on a killer of a match. This was some Kurt Angle prime shit here. Years of experience at this point while his body hadn't completely failed him yet. I always wonder how the course of WWE and Mania's would have changed if Kurt had never left WWE.... Which got me thinking, how do we not have a "What If" thread? |

Never knew you were at Mania 22. Nice. You saw the Mickie James moment in person.

Met the guy at what I believe was a holiday inn near the rosemont theater. Upper deck, great seats. One of my favorites experiences ever. That Mania doesn't get enough love in my opinion either. |

Yeah, 22 is definitely a forgotten WrestleMania. It was a solid show, but it's missing that one blowaway match that a lot of the best Manias have. Kurt vs. Rey or Kurt vs. Orton would've stolen the show. As a triple threat match though, it fell short, and it was clouded by the Rey/Eddie storyline stuff. I remember the whole Rey story just feeling really distasteful, even though they were going for the feel good moment. But Mania 22 did mark the first occurrence of a crowd completely shitting on babyface Cena, so there's that. Chicago did it first! |
