22 Days Of WrestleMania (#6 Best WrestleMania And Match)
6. WrestleMania XIV
If there were a large amount of wrestling fans reading this countdown (which there aren't), some might question putting this one as high as it is. To me this was a no brainer. This event marked the beginning of a whole new era in professional wrestling, the Attitude-era. This would be the beginning of the WWE's dominance that still stands today. Who carried the company on his back during this time? None other than Stone Cold Steve Austin. While his match with Shawn Michaels and special enforcer Mike Tyson was definitely the highlight of the show, the undercard was very solid all the way through. We saw future WrestleMania headliners HHH and the Rock successful in European and Intercontinental title matches against Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock, respectively. We saw hardcore legends Mick Foley and Terry Funk team up to take on the hot tag team of the time, the New Age Outlaws. Even Sable carried out a solid match with her partner Marc Mero against Goldust and Luna. While none of the matches will be featured in my top ten, this is an event that changed wrestling forever, and for that it is deserving among the top WrestleManias of all time.
6. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle (WrestleMania 21)
WrestleMania is the type of event that often features "dream matches" that have never been seen before. By the time 2005 rolled in, there weren't a whole lot of possibilities left. Fortunately for us, the WWE realized that Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle had never really gone at it. When the news leaked that these two legends would go toe-to-toe at WrestleMania, the internet was drooling in anticipation. The result of this match-up did not disappoint. The chemistry between these two competitors was uncanny, it was as if they had grown up wrestling one another. There was a great flow to this contest that even the most casual of wrestling fans would be able to know that this was a WrestleMania moment that will forever stand out as one of the best.
