The Top Ten

With over 67,000 fans in attendance, this event featured a main event match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock for the WWF Championship, in which Austin emerged victorious after aligning himself with his longtime rival, Mr. McMahon.

The event is often hailed as one of the greatest WrestleManias in history. Greatest WWE PPV of all time, with WrestleMania 19 a very close second.
WrestleMania 19
Taking place on March 30, 2003, at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington, WrestleMania 19 was the nineteenth annual WrestleMania event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The event featured a memorable bout between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship, with Lesnar winning the title. It also marked the final WrestleMania match of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who faced The Rock in a highly anticipated encounter.
The best WrestleMania of all time. Lesnar vs. Angle for the WWE Championship was amazing. Michaels vs. Jericho was amazing. Hogan vs. McMahon was pretty good. It's always fun to see someone like Hogan, Shane, and Michaels kick Vince's ass at WrestleMania. Booker T vs. Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship was really good. If Booker T's leg hadn't hurt throughout the match, he would have been the World Heavyweight Champion. Austin vs. The Rock 3 was really good as well. In my opinion, this WrestleMania was the best and my third favorite PPV of all time, behind SummerSlam 2002 and Vengeance 2005.
WrestleMania 20
Held on March 14, 2004, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, WrestleMania 20 was the twentieth annual WrestleMania event produced by WWE. The event featured a historic Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Benoit, with Benoit claiming the title. The event also saw the return of The Undertaker, who defeated Kane to extend his WrestleMania winning streak to 12-0.

This event featured an emotional retirement match between Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels, with Michaels winning and Flair leaving the ring in tears.

WrestleMania 3
Taking place on March 29, 1987, at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, WrestleMania 3 was the third annual WrestleMania event produced by WWF. The event is best known for the epic encounter between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant for the WWF Championship, which saw Hogan body-slam the 500-pound Andre and retain his title. With over 93,000 fans in attendance, WrestleMania 3 set a new indoor attendance record at the time.
WrestleMania 3 was great because of a successful risk Vince McMahon took to get an arena (no, make that a stadium) to house the likes of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. The 93,173 fans prove that WWE was here to stay and marked the beginning of the end for other wrestling promotions like the AWA, World Class Championship Wrestling, and Bill Watts' UWF.

The event also introduced the first-ever Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which was won by Edge. This WrestleMania, in my opinion, is one of the better WrestleManias and one of the best PPVs of all time. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio was really good. The first-ever Money in the Bank ladder match was really good as well. Undertaker vs. Randy Orton was really good. Michaels vs. Angle for the first time ever was awesome, one of the best WrestleMania matches of all time, and also one of the best WWE matches of all time. Batista vs. Triple H was good.
Having Michaels vs. Angle, the best match of the night, easily go before Big Show vs. Akebono in a sumo match and John Cena vs. JBL for the WWE Championship is plain foolish because both matches obviously sucked. This is probably why this WrestleMania is ranked so low compared to where it should be. Overall, great WrestleMania!

The event featured the end of The Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania winning streak, as he was defeated by Brock Lesnar. Additionally, Daniel Bryan won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Randy Orton and Batista in a Triple Threat Match after overcoming Triple H earlier in the night.
What? How am I the only person to vote for this? It's the #1 Mania. I thought this would be #2 or #1. You had Hulk Hogan as the host. The end of Undertaker's streak. Daniel Bryan beat Triple H to get into the WWE Championship triple threat. Daniel Bryan won the triple threat.
