Top 20 WrestleMania matches

Got this idea while reading the wrestling blog and thought it might be fun to list my favorite 20 WM matches (effectively one match per WrestleMania, though I'll take more than one from each event).

I'm just basing this on my own personal memories and preferences, nothing more scientific than that. Would love your feedback and comments to this list. It's an interesting bar topic, for sure:

1. Ricky The Dragon Steamboat vs Randy Macho Man Savage (WM3)
2. Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels vs Triple H (WM20)
3. Edge & Christian vs Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz (WM17)
4. Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior (WM6)
5. Bret Hitman Hart vs Owen Hart (WM10)
6. Bret Hitman Hart vs Rowdy Roddy Piper (WM8)
7. Hulk Hogan vs The Rock (WM18)
8. British Bulldogs vs The Dream Team (WM2)
9. Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Adorable Adrian Adonis (WM3)
10. Bret Hitman Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (WM13)
11. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho (WM19)
12. Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy (WM2)
13. Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle (WM16)
14. Ric Flair vs The Undertaker (WM18)
15. Edge & Christian vs Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz (WM16)
16. Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage (WM7)
17. X-Pac vs Shane McMahon (WM15)
18. The Rock and Mick Foley vs Evolution (WM20)
19. Vince McMahon vs Shane McMahon (WM17)
20. The Undertaker vs Triple H (WM17)

Honorable mention: Austin-Michaels (WM14), Austin-Rock (WM17), Beefcake-Perfect (WM6), Bulldogs and Tito Santana-Hart Foundation and Danny Davis (WM3), Flair-Savage (WM8), Hardcore Invitational (WM16), Gimmick Battle Royal (WM17), Hogan-McMahon (WM19), Michaels-Hart (WM11), Jericho-Christian (WM20), Roberts-Honky Tonk Man (WM3), Steele-Savage (WM2) and probably a ZILLION more I can't think of right now.

have you ever tried to put together the WM event that OO (Rick i think) seems to do around this time of year? where you put together the best ever WM card using any match in WM history but using no person or title more than once? tried it two years ago and just about went nuts. very difficult.

Naaah... you know what? I'd be hard-pressed to do that because (a) There are so many guys who had more than one 'great' match (b) Many of the Manias (III, XVII and XX in particular) had more than one stand-out match and (c) There were a few (IV, XI) that I couldn't find ANY real standouts for. It would just be way too complicated, albeit a cool idea...

How could anyone forget the match that Shawn Michaels made famous-The ladder match between HBK and razor ramon at WM 10-The match for the ages to come..The Wm 25 match HBK vs taker may come close to it..
