In the months leading up to WrestleMania 29 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, we'll be taking a look back at the best and worst of WrestleMania's past.
w/ Alex Archer & Violet Buttle
Venue: Staples Center (Los Angeles, CA)
Attendance: 20,193
Main Event: Batista vs. Triple H for the WWE Championship
Alex's Opinion
Best: Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels wrestled one of the better matches of either mans career. This was also before the Kurt Angle matches were the stolen finisher show, so it was much more unpredictable than a modern Kurt Angle match. HBK of course provided a ton of excitement with his always reckless WrestleMania offense.
Worst: Even though the "match" itself was only a minute long, the Akebono and Big Show sumo wrestling contest wasted way too much time. It made sense when they brought in Mayweather to KO Big Show; he had drawing power. But Ake-fuckin-bono? Come on.
Violet's Opinion
Best: At 27 minutes, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels had the longest and most entertaining match of WrestleMania 21. From the start, the match was fast paced and intense. And, as you’d expect from Michaels, it had some pretty cool spots.
Worst: Christy Hemme won WWE’s Diva Search on September 20, 2004. Seven months later she had a WrestleMania match title match against Women’s Champion Trish Stratus. Needless to say, Hemme’s wrestling was not up to par.
