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: Rosemont Horizon (Rosemont, IL)
Attendance: 18,197
On Commentary: Jerry "The King" Lawler, Vince McMahon, and Jim Ross
Main Event: The Undertaker vs. Sycho Sid in a no disqualification match for the WWF Championship
Best: Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin was clearly the best match of this WrestleMania. It’s one of the all time classics. When you think about iconic wrestling imagery, one of the first things that come to mind is Austin in the Sharpshooter, blood pouring down his face, reaching for the ropes while he’s screaming in pain. When you take the storyline and the story of the match into account, it was one of the best matches and best finishes in wrestling history.
Worst: The Legion of Doom & Ahmed Johnson taking on The Nation of Domination was just awful to watch. Eleven minutes of guys bashing each other over the head with all sorts of absurd weapons, including an actual kitchen sink. The highlight of the match, however, is the infamous Colt Cabana punch! A young Colt Cabana was in the stands and managed to take a few swings at Hawk of the LOD.
Violet's Opinion
Best: Goldust and Hunter Hearst Helmsley had a very entertaining match that told a good, cohesive story. Outside the ring, Chyna and Marlena played their parts well and really enhanced the story that the guys were telling. Good work from everyone involved.
Worst: The match for the Intercontinental Championship made Rocky Maivia and The Sultan look like the most limited wrestlers that WWE has ever had. So dull. So uneventful.
