22 Days Of WrestleMania (#2 Best WrestleMania And Match)

2. WrestleMania X
As you may have seen from my past posts, two of the matches featured on this card made my top 10 matches. That basically guarantees that it's a top 10 WrestleMania. But something else happened on this night that must be mentioned. This was the first WrestleMania without Hulk Hogan. Hmm, interesting. The first great WrestleMania is the one with out Hogan? You don't say. Yes folks, it's true, I give the Hulkster no love, and this pay-per-view backs me up. This show is a classic, and I have to say part of that reason is because they let their talent shine. Was Owen Hart a big draw in 1994? Of course not, but they let him go out and wrestle their top guy and WIN. Then they have Bret defeat the then "mighty" Yokozuna later on that night, causing the locker room to come out and celebrate. This was Vince's apology to Bret for not having the confidence in him at WrestleMania IX. And then there's that ladder match. Shawn Michaels proved why he was picked as my WrestleMania MVP by putting on a performance for the ages. That's not to take away from Razor Ramon, who was a very capable athlete as well. While there were some questionable decisions (Adam Bomb vs. Earthquake, Lex Luger vs. Yokozuna), for the time this was THE great WrestleMania and it still stands tall today.

2. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels vs. HHH (WrestleMania XX)
As I posted yesterday, this is my personal favorite WrestleMania moment. I am a huge fan of Chris Benoit and I truly believe this to be his finest match. Even the so-called ego-maniacs, Michaels and HHH, seemed to have no problem making Benoit look like a champion we could believe in. It was nice that for this moment, it seemed that the WWE was actually rewarding an individual for all of his hard work, a thank you for all of the great matches he provided us with. You know when you get chills from something that is pre-determined, you know it is something special.
