We are halfway through this franchise and we start by welcoming the last decade!
BESTLEMANIA 16
THE 1ST EVER TLC!-A MATCH THAN BOASTED 5 FUTURE WORLD CHAMPIONS!
Ten years ago at this very event 2 young boys watched Hogan vs Warrior and it inspired them to become wrestlers -Those boys names were Adam Copeland and Jason Reso-known famously as Edge and Christian
Bursting onto the scene as vampires(yes really), they dropped that to be themselves, this was the attitude era, as gimmicks were now their personality up to eleven. The attitude era was great as it took risks with everyone, because WWE Had real completion at the time. And so after matches with the Hardys and ladders and with the Dudleys with Tables, every time 2of the 3 met it escalated. So what was done? In the very event where it was introduced, the ladder match had evolved! incorporating E and C's Chairs and the Dudley's tables. this match stole the show!

CHESTER MCCHEESERTON-THE ULTIMATE WRESTLEMANIA FOOTNOTE
So...Al Snow can rag on Grado on not taking the sport seriously and yet a random schmo in a cheese costume is your second?
MMMM THAT'S GOOD HYPOCRISY!
BESTLEMANIA 17
ALL OF IT! IT WAS A SUPERCARD! BUT IF I HAD TO PICK JUST 1, IT'LL BE TIE BETWEEN ROCK/AUSTIN 2, TLC 2 AND MCMAHON/MCMAHON!
WORSTLEMANIA 17
WCW REPRESENTED...By A-ROD'S TROPHY WIFE, JOBBO GEURRERRO AND RANDOM GUYS!
So Shane bought WCW, sowing the seeds for WWE VS Alliance. in what was suppose to be a heel turn moment, Shane pointed to a private box, and called out his new employees, the 10 strong with only Torrie Wilson and Chavo Guererro being the old ones anyone recognised, did nothing when the camera was one them, the only reaction was when some dumbass kid photobombed into shot!
BESTLEMANIA 18
HOGAN RETURNS, BRUTHER!
Okay, I hate the talentless company-killing hack!, but the man is an integral part of not just Wrestlemania history, not just WWE history, but The History of Wrestling as a whole! his opponent that night, a future hall of famer, the Rock! In that ring Hogan in front of a Toronto crowd, where a generation ago saw him face the warrior, he was reborn as Hulk Hogan, and as quickly as the NWO was reformed a month ago...it was done by summerslam
WORSTLEMANIA 18
TRIPLE H VS CHRIS JERICHO-I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR KILLING MY DOG-UH....OH, AND BECOME WWE CHAMPION AS WELL, I GUESS-UH!
It would come to no-one surprise that the above match was a tough act to follow! but the WWE championship had a subplot: the phoney baloney divorce to distract form the real-life marriage that year. Yes in what could have being the strangest circumstance, Acting like they were married made them fall for each other (Just wait til Vince Dies, and out comes news of Pre-Nupt on PWPIX!), BUT NOW, Hunter bit the had that fed him, and Steph and Hunter were arguing over their property including a dog, which was ran over and killed (kayfabe) by Chris Jericho, who conveniently was Steph's new client. With the air drained out by the Hogan/Rock Match, no one could care less.
BESTLEMANIA 19
MICHAELS VS JERICHO-THE OLD LION RISES TO THE OCCASION!
The 1st wrestlemania under the wwe banner and under the brand extension, Wrestlemania was an event filled with 1sts. for Shawn Michaels, it was his 1st in nearly a decade. facing him was the man many called the unofficial protégé of HBK, Chris Jericho. It was Lawler who used the analogy above describing Jericho as a young who challenges the old lion to a fight. this insight plus Jim Ross' legendary call, elevated this match, but truth be told this match would have no commentary and still be enjoyable!
WORSTLEMANIA 19
THE MILLER LITE CATFIGHT GIRLS, TORRIE WILSON AND THAT SKANK WHAT GOT BONED BY CLOONEY TO GET SCRIPTS PANTSING JONATHAN COACHMAN ALL TO SELL BEER!
I 'll just have a water thanks!
BESTLEMANIA 20
EVOLUTION VS THE ROCK AND SOCK CONNECTION: PAST PRESENT AND IMMEDIATE FUTURE!
Okay for a major milestone-Wrestlemania 20 was a little flat, I said it myself during review of it in my special last year-"WRESTLEMANIA XX-X YEARS LATER" but you couldn't have asked for a better debut in a fun little match like this-Flair doing the rock bottom and swivelling around going "yeah,yeah,yeah!" like a crazy person, cracks me up every time!
WORSTLEMANIA 20
