Wrestlemania 17
That show in every way was as near to perfect as you can get. It had a perfect balance of matches (the strength and depth of WM17 card has never been matched in my opinion) and mixture of talent that no other Wrestlemania has ever achieved whilst having a number of matches that one way or another were memorable. Not to mention that no WM has ever made such an impact as what 17 has, plus this WM has more significance than any other.
I could talk for ages about WM17 because every match was different in it's own way and the crowd was hot from what i remember for every match.
Out of the 11 matches on the card I will always remember these six (in no order):
Raven(c) vs Kane vs Big Show (hardcore title): Quite possible the best hardcore match i have ever seen. Had everything needed for a hardcore match: backstage brawling, destruction, light relief , hardcore shots and crazy ending.
Angle vs Benoit: Technical wrestling at it's best. Show stealer if it wasn't for TLCII.
EC vs Hardyz vs Dudleyz (c) (TLCII) (Tag titles): Do i need to explain!!!
Triple H vs Undertaker: Best brawl i have seen.
Shane vs Vince (Street fight): Great bit of story telling. Haven't found a match that has told a story better than this.
Rock(c) vs Austin (WWF title): Bigger and better than their match at WM15 and the twist at the end of the show has never been bettered or made more of an impact.
I can't stress how good i think this show was (it had something for everyone). It also was the beginning of WWE's recent trend to house WM in stadiums instead of arena's (not including 20, 21 22)
(for what it's worth it had the best stage design too)
