The Mania Countdown

For a couple months now, I have been watching them all. From Mania 1, to where I am right now, Mania 24, with watching 25 tomorrow, and then attending 26 on Sunday. It's hard to pic a fav out of them all, but Manias 3, 4, 6, 8, and 14 are probably the top 5 favorites.

Great list.....I'll add 17 and 18 to that.....as 17 was the pinnacle of the attitude with it's 2 biggest stars, Rock vs. Austin and just a great overall card. 18 was Hogan vs. Rock, which blew EVERYthing else away, bar none. That match should have been main event, as no one cared about H vs. Jericho after this.

Here is my random Mania Moment....I will never forget freakin the fuck out on that fateful afternoon, when one of the greatest surprises of all time (at least to me as a kid) went down. It's sad wrestling doesn't produce moments like this moment from Wrestlemania 8 gave us:

Ill never forget that afternoon either. We had one of those huge satellite dishes in the yard, so I got PPVs for free because it would pick up the signal from where the event was broadcasting from. Well for Mania 8, for some damn reason, we only got picture, no sound. The sound kept cutting in and out. So when Warrior came out, I had no idea until it showed him running down to the ring.

As for Mania 8 though, Pipers backstage promo was awesome.

Yes it was.....now that I think about it.....between Piper vs. Hart, Flair vs. Savage, and the Warrior return in the main event....WrestleMania 8 was awesome as a kid. I remember at Mania 9 it felt so weird because WWE had changed so much in that year. When Hogan won the belt at the end of the night, I felt like the old WWF was back....I was wrong.

Oh we're sharing favorite Mania moments? WELL here is my favorite WrestleMania moment of ALL time...too bad WWE went TV-PG and is all about the kids now...THIS WWE had a fan for life....one of the most entertaining matches in recent Manias......and sadly this, my favorite moment is cut out of any Mania 22 DVD out there.

Yeah, the grab is there, but the lick is gone. Good ol PG WWE.
