BESTLEMANIA 26
SHAWN AND UNDERTAKER 2 VIDEO PACKAGE-PLACEBO'S COVER OF RUNNING UP THAT HILL!
It's uncommon for a video package to not only sum up any match entirely, but to have people talk about it? that are not into wrestling, One of the best covers and best Video packages by WWE Ever! this is running up that hill!

WORSTLEMANIA 26
BRET HART VS VINCE MACMAHON: THIS OLD GREY MAN HE AIN'T WHAT HE USE TO BE!
Ok, so you had a grudge, but Come on, Vince! Bret suffered a stroke after being kicked in the head by Goldberg in 2001! You should be happy, Bret Screwed Bret afterall, but you couldn't leave well enough alone! and had this terrible match!
BESTLEMANIA 27
UNDERTAKER VS TRIPLE H 2: THE NEW CAPTAIN-UH KEEPS THIS TURD FLOATING FOR SO MUCH!
WORSTLEMANIA 27
ALL OF IT! AND YOU HAVE MIZ TO THANK FOR THAT!
THAT'S RIGHT THE SHOW THAT I DEEMED WASTE OF A MANIA HAD THE GUY FROM MTV WHO ONLY JOINED WWE TO EMBEZZLE A MILLION DOLLARS AND THEN FUCK OFF! LIKE DANIEL PUDER DID, ONLY GOT A TITLE SHOT BECAUSE VINCE SAW HIM WEARING TRUNKS AND NOT BERMUDA SHORTS AND SAID SOMETHING ON THE LINES OF "NOW THAT YOUR DRESSING LIKE A WRESTLER, I SHOULD BOOK YOU LIKE A WRESTLER! (FACT!)
The only time I was hoping for Cena to bury his Opponent, ended in the only draw in Wreslemania history! but this had to happen to get to this!
BESTLEMANIA 28
ROCK VS CENA: ONCE IN A LIFETIME(MY ASS!): I DIDN'T PASS THE TORCH, JABRONI, YOU STOLE IT!
after the debacle that was the year before, the next night on Raw, a year-long storyline started, almost unheard of in our era of uninterested audiences. and this was it's pay-off! A partisan Miami crowd cheering for their hometown hero as he rose, when Cena called for the People's Elbow, only to walk into a rock Bottom for the title, the crowd exploded into a frenzy!
WORSTLEMANIA 28
BRYAN VS LAME-ARSE!: WINS MATCHES IN 17 SECONDS, OR HUNT-UHS LAUNDRY GETS DONE FOR FREE, FELLA!
This little stunt in the opening match, made us realise a few things 1) Hunt-uh really should start fights with guy he himself won't win 2) Sheamus is a bigger asskisser than Bore-ton, Shitista, Cena and R-Tard combined 3) this World title match was 17 seconds, whilst the tag match with Maria "SKANK FROM E!" Menious Was 11 minutes!
THAT'S RIGHT!
A SKANK FROM E! WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WORLD'S TITLE!
BESTLEMANIA 29
CM PUNK VS UNDERTAKER: THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN!
Punk will always have that, despite screwing around in Ultimate Punching And Kicking and Marvel Comics, he put on the best closing chapter of the win streak. the Tete-a tete they had whilst 'taker was in the Anaconda Vice, emblazoned trade magazines for months, the image made the front of POWERSLAM!'s Year in Pictures pull out!
WORSTLEMANIA 29
RYBERG VS MARK HUNGRY: HENRY DOMINATES RYBACK DURING HIS FINISHER! AND BY "DOMINATE" IN MEAN "FELL ON!"
BESTLEMANIA 30
WRESTLEMANIA BECOMES YES!TLEMANIA
AS If i would put anything else!
LAST YEARS SHOW OF SHOWS WAS EVERY BIT THE LANDMARK THAT 20 WASN'T! But whilst the bottom match became the talking point the next day, You cannot deny that Bryan winning the title cleanly and without any bullshit, made the entire world happy!
WORSTLEMANIA 30
THE STREAK DIES-BUT AT LEAST IT WASN'T CENA!
And so we end, with an ending!
The breaking of the Streak! and that's how important it was! for the 6 years previous, i capitalised the word streak, that's because it became more than a word, it became almost a flesh and blood thing. Let me put it another way, when something is around for so long, people get behind it! people grew up on it! children grew and told their children, And Parents became Grandparents and told their Grandchildren. But all things most end! It just sucked that it had to be a guy who saw the match as a new rotor for his helicopter with readies left over for some gun ammo!
Well, thanks for sticking around for the past few weeks! the coming week the final card for Wrestlemania will materialise, hopefully! please follow me on twitter @RealEnli

BESTLEMANIA 21-25
THIS SERIES HAS BECOME EASIER TO WRITE NOW, AS I REMEMBER THESE SHOWS 1ST HAND, HELL I EVEN WROTE REVIEWS ON THESE, EVER YEAR OF THE ENLIGHTENED PAGE'S EXISTANCE!
BESTLEMANIA 21!
MONEY IN THE BANK 1:THE OTHER STREAK CONTINUES INTO EDGE'S OWN WHEELHOUSE!
Created by Chris Jericho, once again the ladder match has mutated into one of the hotly contested prizes in WWE! And why Not! That Briefcase is lightning in a bottle, ready to blast up and change the foundation (OR RUIN IT! THANK YOU MIZ!) Forever! In this match with some of the best wrestlers in the world right now(and KANE!) Edge, speared out of that ceiling! the rest as they say, is history!
WORSTLEMANIA 21!
BIG SHOW VS AKEBONO SUMO MATCH! WHAT WAS SEEN, CANNOT BE UNSEEN!
BESTLEMANIA 22!
DX REUNION TEASED, CROWD GOES WILD!
For years after returning, A HHH/HBK Feud was shoved down our throats, in 06, we had enough. It started in Shawn Michaels vs Vince McMahon, Michaels put his boss in a trash can and laid him on the table, using a ladder that was spared it's life from Mitb2. As he ascended the ladder, he did something that sparked excitement-he crotched chopped Vince's prone body. Later in the Main event Triple H fought Cena . when Cena was on the ground, after mocking Cena, Triple H also made the same gesture-thus setting the rumour mill in motion. unfortunately, it had to take a "Vince vs god" angle to make this reunion happen!
WORSTLEMANIA 22
EDDIEPLOITATION: THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS!
I am without a doubt, the biggest Eddie Guererro fan, mark, whatever you want to call it-back in the day, I got back into wrestling when S4C was showing heat in 2000. and he was always on heat. and he worked his ass of to get to the level he did. I was so sad to hear of his passing and that I knew that someone will honour his passing!
Then Randy Orton said what he said at his tribute show. And then Rey won the title at mania, then Vicki got hired and wouldn't fuck off until last year, then Jobbo and Rey Fought for until chavo was fired for who gets to ride on Eddie's coat-tails for the rest of their career!
BESTLEMANIA 23
UNDERTAKER VS BASTISTA: THE 10 YEAR ROAD TO REGAIN THE TITLE ENDS!
for the 10 years, Undertaker hasn't being the title hunt at wrestlemania-in fact most of streak match were-Undertaker pins champion on raw, Heel attacks taker for dq, taker tapes his fists, repeat! this time he was in line for the title-in a match that surprisingly was better than it should have being!
WORSTLEMANIA 23
THE BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES
EVERY THING TO LOSE AND NOT TO (RO)GAIN!
Donald trump has always being a huge wrestling fan, in fact trump was front and centre at many wrestlemanias-But Vince took offence to trump on the 1st commercial free raw that spawned the Dark Age of WWE-The special guest general manager! thus Vince proposed a challenge he's back a wrestler, and trump will back a wrestler and however loses that Billionaire is shaved bald! So vince lost and got the slap-head treatment!-and led to him becoming ecw champion and shitting the brand forever!
BESTLEMANIA 24
RIC FLAIR VS SHAWN MICHAELS:
LEAVE THE MEMORIES ALONE!
To have a match that overshadows the title matches, you have to have a match that is full of emotion. The cruel stipulation by vince McMahon that if Ric Flair loses a match, he had to retire was emotional to say the least. this was a bad spot for Michaels who was now a respected member of the roster by now, With Ric Flair on his knees begging for HBK To superkick him the camera focused on his face as he mouthed the now immortal "I'm sorry, I love you!" Ric Flair was now retired and so legendary, he is the only man to inducted into the hall of Fame twice!
WORSTLEMANIA 24
KIM KAR-TRASH-IAN PAID 60K TO READ OUT A CARD!
Because that's what wwe needs! another talentless bimbo!
BESTLEMANIA 25
SHAWN MICHAELS VS UNDERTAKER 1-UH, WHO WON THE TITLE MATCH?-CENA I GUESS?
1 Of the most captivating matches in recent memory happened 6 years ago, as 2 men who were placed as solar opposites-Undertaker with all his mysticism and promos about sin and darkness and the dark arts, and Michaels, the real life born again Christian, who quoted Genesis when the Deadman quoted Revelations! The entrances was a contrast- Michaels, dressed as a white palette swap of 'Taker descending down, the Deadman rose from the darkness, and the match itself matched the athleticism as much as the Showmanship. Michaels gave the Deadman the fight of his career, but once again, it wasn't enough!
WORSTLEMANIA 25
THE MISS WRESTLEMANIA BATTLE ROYAL ALL THE WAY TO THE REVEAL OF SANTINA MARELLA-IF A SHIT COULD TAKE A SHIT...
To celebrate 25 years of Wrestlemania, a match celebrating the 25 years of the women's division was decided, even invites were sent to former divas-Lisa Marie Varon even left TNA to revise as Victoria as she, like us were told that a guaranteed title shot was the prize. then it happened. Kid rock played for 10 minutes as from behind him, the divas with no separate introductions where drummed out unceremoniously to dance like the fanservice meat in one of his videos. (the entire concert was edited out of the dvd-so it looked like a mass jobber entrance on video!) one by one, people only realised who was in the match when they were eliminated, when things got a little less hectic-something was a little off-there was one woman that no-one recognised! okay Woman is cutting it fine-IT WAS SATINO IN DRAG AND HE WON THE MATCH! okay Back then, Santino was a He-Man Woman-Hater who would spoil divas matches and now he had ruined the match that was supposed to be the salute to the women's division-or would had they not sabotaged it themselves!
NEXT FRIDAY IS THE LAST EPISODE...We see the last chapters of the Streak, The Worst PPV Of this decade and the Bella Skanks become the "STANDARD BARRIERS" For terrible ring announcing!

BESTLEMANIA 11-15
WORSTLEMANIA 11-
BIGELOW VS TAYLOR-A GUY WHO SHOULD HAVE BEING RESPECTED MORE VS A SOFTBOY RUGBY PLAYER
There was no good matches on Mania 11, that's why I'm just heading into the cream of the crap! this match introduced Mongo McMichael to the wrestling world!
THANKS A MILLION, VINCE!
BESTLEMANIA 12
HART/MICHAELS: IRON MAN MATCH: THE SHOWSTOPPER ZIPLINES TO HIS BOYHOOD DREAM!
The Iron man Match is a dying species but it's this match that proved that Shawn Michaels had substance to go with that style! after fighting for a single hour with no quarter given, Gorilla Monsoon the WWE president ruled overtime, and good thing to because who books a draw at Wrestlemania *coughVINCEcough* *coughWM27cough!*
WORSTLEMANIA 12
PIPER/GOLDUST HOLLYWOOD BACKLOT BRAWL
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET THE NAME OF GOLDUST-BUT YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO REMEMBER THAT FAKE CAR CRASH!
BESTLEMANIA 13
BRET HART VS STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN-CHANGING OF THE GUARD!
Wrestlemania 13 was one of few supercards of the franchise. It boasts many hidden gems of matches, but it'll always be remembered for the submission match between Austin and hart. With blood streaming down his anguished face, as he lost consciousness in the dreaded sharpshooter, as the crowd turned on hart and cheered "Austin, Austin!" as he refused help after his loss. Even Jerry Lawler, who was cheerleader supreme to every heel on commentary during the 90's broke Kayfabe to put his two cents on Austin's tenacity.
WORSTLEMANIA 13
4 WAY TAG MATCH FOR THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDERSHIP FOR THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP...ON RAW TOMORROW NIGHT!
Ok I know that the post Mania raw has become better than the show itself nowadays, but that is ridiculous!
BESTLEMANIA 14
AUSTIN ERA HAS BEGUN!
For 13 the Wrestlemania was like a child-in it's fledging years it took new steps and tried new things to find it's identity. At wrestlemania 14,-like 14 years olds-It lashed out! and adopted edginess!
No two superstars at that time had more edginess than Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin, Add Mike Tyson as Special Enforcer and you had a powderkeg ready to go off! and it did-right in HBK'S face! as Jim Ross bellowed the immortal words "Stone cold! stone cold! stone cold! the Austin era has begun!"
WORSTLEMANIA 14
CHAINSAW CHARLIE AND CACTUS JACK VS THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS IN DUMPSTER MATCH!
IT BELONGS THERE!
BESTLEMANIA 15
THE ROCK VS AUSTIN 1:2 MEN WENT HUNTING FOR THE ELUSIVE BEAST PERFECTION, BUT IN DOING SO FOUND EXECELLANCE!
Ok, the match in 2 mania's time was a whole lot better, and this mania's card was just terrible! so thank god for small mercies
WORSTLEMANIA 15
BRAWL FOR ALL! BOXING AT A WRESTLING SHOW? WE DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THAT AT WM2 AND SEE DON'T WANT TO SEE IT NOW!
You'd think that wwe would have picked better opponents for Eric "ButterBean" Esch but no. Vince made his jobbers look even more pathetic losing to a morbidly obese boxer!
Well that's me done today, I'll be back tomorrow morning with a predictions post for fast lane! and Results on Monday! If I'm not dead from exhaustion, i'll see you back here for part 4: 16-20, where we have the last ever supercards, the match that the world thought they will never see, a guy in a cheese-costume and Jonathan Coachman gets pantsed to sell beer!

The 7th Anniversary Post!-BESTLEmania/WORSTleMania 6-10
BESTLEMANIA 6
THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!
For the 1st time ever the 2 biggest faces in the wwf faced each other in a winner take all match, despite having the reps for limited movesets they put it out they with the warrior becoming the wwf champion. this match in Montreal, was seen by and inspired 3 future wwe stars Renee Young, and 2 young boys by the names of Jason Reso and Adam Copeland-more on them Later!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rr0s4Lkmb8
WORSTLEMANIA 6
STEVE ALLEN ON PIANO WITH THE BOLSHEVIKS SINGING THE COMUNIST ANTHEM IN THE MEN'S TOILETS!
I Wish I had the clip to prove it exists! but this actually happened!
BESTLEMANIA 7
UNDERTAKER VS JIMMY SNUKA: THE DARKSIDE RISES!
No one knew it at the time, but this was the start of something big! (UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE DECADE!)
WORSTLEMANIA 7
HOGAN VS SLAUGHTER: UNMATCHED JINGOISM DOWN THE WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE'S THROATS!
Need I say more? when Slaughter covered Hogan with the Iraqi flag and it was tore up, that was like something out of a cartoon!
BESTLEMANIA 8
SLIM JIM VS SMIRNOFF ICE: SAVAGE VS FLAIR
2 months previous, Ric Flair became the only man in Royal Rumble history to win the WWF Title in the rumble match! In his first Wrestlemania, he was debuting as champion. But all night, wrestlemania had being the business end of the bad-luck streak, many matches changed or having rushed finishes, this was no different, but the Skill and Psychology was there-even if time wasn't!
WORSTLEMANIA 8
SID VS HOGAN: I HAVE HALF A BRAIN TOO, BRUTHER!
PUSH SID! HE'S A MASTODON! I'M VINCE MACMAHON DAMMIT!
BESTLEMANIA 9
ERRRRR......OH THE DEBUT OF JIM ROSS! I SUPPOSE I HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING!
WORSTLEMANIA 9
HOGAN RETURNS....FOR ONE LAST PAYCHECK!
Ok WWE'S Mania in Caesar's Palace in Vegas really crapped out-the only dq win in the streak against the Prototype Khali-Giant Gonzales, the crush/Doink match, but it has to Hulk Hogan coming and Fuji making the challenge on behalf of his tired and worn out new champion, Yokozuna after he had his match against Bret Hart! not only did Hogan win the match in 2 minutes flat, he only went and buried Hart and Yoko in 1 fell swoop!
BESTLEMANIA 10
THE LADDER MATCH FOR THE IC BELTS: STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!
Back when the IC Title meant something, the secondary belt was but on guys that wwf believed were going to be the next big things in the world championship picture! and even those who didn't: fought with all the pride and passion of a world champion and became hall of famers and legends anyway (Tito Santana springs to mind)
But in 1994, their was scrutiny on who was the ic champion as two wrestlers had a belt each: 2 Friends turned rivals-Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon. but this wouldn't be your standard match, what was devised by Michaels would be a match considered to be too good waste on a small belt-but thank god we got it anyway-the ladder match for unified ic belts! a decade later and the ladder match would further evolve in front of the Showcase Of The Immortals-but lets look at it's fledgling outing now!

BESTleMania/WorstleMania 1-5
Hello and welcome to part 1 of 6 of my crib-notes on the 30 years of Wrestlemania. I would like to point out that for most of these paragraph are my own opinion and also mostly text-mainly because wwe has a habit of erasing 2nd and 3rd party videos of their videoes and programming!
but February is going a wrestling drought so I plan to hype up Wrestlemania as much as I can.
BESTLEMANIA! 1: THE SHOWCASE OF THE IMMORTALS IS BORN!
Once upon a time, Vince McMahon was a visionary, and in his grand vision was a world-wide event but the problem was the new medium of Cable television, Vince McMahon had BETTED HIS ENTIRE CAREER INTO HIS DREAM, And it paid off! Overnight Madison square garden became a mecca for wrestling fans, and the shows in New York are considered to be the point where a wrestler "makes it"
WORSTLEMANIA 1: TITO SANTANA VS THE EXECUTIONER AND KING KONG BUNDY VS SD JONES!: ALL LEGENDS MUST START SOMEWHERE!
Seriously who books a squash on their marquee event? *coughDIXIECARTER!cough*
BESTLEMANIA 2: THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: BRITISH BULLDOGS, BRUTUS BEEFCAKE,A BRUISER AND A BAT-EATER!
Okay WMII Sucked but at least their was some good matches! the tag team championship was a hoot, as Greg Valentine and Hogan's Man-Bitch, Brutus Beefcake dropped the belts to the British bulldogs in the best match of the night! the real talking point was in the Brit corner was none other than Black Sabbath front-Man Ozzy Osbourne, who has appeared many times since!
WORSTLEMANIA: CELEBRITY SATURATION-WILL VINCE EVER LEARN?
There was celebrity involvement in the 1st but it was subdued in comparsion, I don't who that Susanne woman who kept saying uh-oh on commentary and I could care less 28 years later!
BESTLEMANIA 3: THE SLAM HEARD ALL OVER THE WORLD!
In 87, Bobby Heenan was untouchable! whilst in the past he was all talk, he could now back it up, with the acquisition of a shocking heel turn, Andre the Giant, the tete-a-tete on Piper's Pit is legendardy television as the 8th Wonder of the world tore off Hogan's shirt and cruxifix, causing Hogan to bleed from the scratch from it, this lead to this Moment in time that will live on forever...

WORSTLEMANIA 3- SHIEK/VOLKOFF VS KILLER BEES-BREAK HIS BACK AND FAHK HIS ASS!
The long feud has started here but it really started and came out years later when Shiek was accused by Brian Blair as a Peado (completely untrue and Blair himself was convicted of attacking his own son!)
BESTLEMANIA 4
HULK WHO? ANDRE THE WHAT?
The next year the wwe championship was in abeyance, and a tournament was made for mania, for the 1st and only time in it's history. after the above match last year it seemed like a lock that either will win. Until a double countout changed all that! the final was 2 of the all-time greats but both overlooked in their generation, Randy Savage vs Ted DiBiasie. The 2 had a match for the ages but in the end Savage won, and held the title until the next Wrestlemania
WORSTLEMANIA 4
EVERYONE DOESN'T LIKE BOB!
Bob Ueker, the statistically worst baseball ever, turned play-by-play, is only here because at the time, no-one in Europe had Baseball matches blasted onto tv because no-one wanted them! Was I the only 1 to Wish that Andre choked him harder this time?
BESTLEMANIA 5
The Mega Powers explode!
Savage got to the top, but when he did, his paranoid nature that was evident backstage and got him in trouble later in wcw, started to bug him-firstly accussing His wife of letting Hogan doing his 5 Moves of Doom on her! However they put Savage's real-life Paranoia, Elizabeth's Real Life Sluttiness, and Hogan's Real Life-WELL THE FACT THAT HE'S HACK HOGAN!-Aside a put on a decent match!
WORSTLEMANIA 5
RED ROOSTER VS BROOKLYN BRAWLER FOR 31 SECONDS
NUFF SAID!
Join me next Friday as we enter the 90's- we see the birth of the Streak, The worst mania EVER, And the 1sr ever ladder match!
