22 Days Of WrestleMania (#5 Best WrestleMania And Match)

5. WrestleMania XIX
WrestleMania XIX was the first WrestleMania to feature the brand extension, giving us two world title matches, also a first. The card for this event was stacked, but is infamously remembered for pushing the tag team title match to Heat prior to the event so that they could fit the Miller Light catfight girls on the air. How anyone could think that Kane and RVD, two of the most popular stars, would be less of a draw than the catfight girls is a question I will never have an answer to. Despite this debacle, this event was filled with five matches of main event caliber. Thanks to HHH's ego, Booker T was unable to win the championship in a typically overlooked match. Hulk Hogan returned to WrestleMania, this time to take on the boss himself, Vince McMahon. Hogan's match was memorable while watching live, but gets worse upon repeated viewings. Shawn Michaels made his first 'Mania appearance since WrestleMania XIV in the match of the night against Chris Jericho. The Rock finally got a victory over Steve Austin in their WrestleMania trilogy. All of these matches were huge, but the big news was almost witnessing the end of Brock Lesnar's career. Surprisingly they stuck with this match being last and both competitors pulled out all the stops. Just as the match was getting to a close, we saw Lesnar do something he normally doesn't do, go to the top rope. WrestleMania is your best chance to make an unforgettable moment, and that's exactly what Lesnar was going for. He attempted a shooting star press and landed straight on his face, almost breaking his neck. He was out of it for a few minutes, but was later able to fix the botched ending. That is a moment most people will never forget.

5. Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart (WrestleMania X)
This match-up is one of the most intriguing in WrestleMania history. First off, it is the greatest opening match ever. I know I haven't seen every wrestling pay-per-view ever, but I guarantee no opener has ever been as effective as this one. Second, Bret Hart had a title match later on with the winner of the Lex Luger/Yokozuna match. Third, they actually let Owen win! This really is the moment that made Owen's career. It was obvious from the get go that these two were going to pull out all the stops to make the other look good. There were numerous close pinfalls, keeping the crowd into it the entire way through. Just when you thought Bret had it won, Owen pulled off the shocking upset, leaving the crowd stunned. This is perhaps the biggest "upset" in WrestleMania history and a match that gets better each viewing.
