Wrestlemania 32 will take place at AT&T Stadium on April 3. In preparation for the big event, I've compiled a list of 32 matches that are must-watch from over the years.

I'll admit. This was much harder to do than I anticipated. There have been so many classic matches, moments, and memories throughout the years that it's hard to narrow it down to just 32. Seriously, my list was up to 41 off the top of my head. Those extra matches will be put as honorable mentions.

Next week I'll depart for Dallas for my 6th Wrestlemania (24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32). Doesn't feel like I've been to that many but the weekend itself is one of the best experiences of any event to attend. So much so that I always tell people that it's never just a "once in a lifetime" trip. (See what I did there?)

Here are 32 matches to (try and) watch prior to the big event on April 3. Bolded matches are my absolute MUST WATCH.

Honorable Mentions
These were left out of my top 32 for numerous reasons.

  • Wrestlemania II - The WWF/NFL Battle Royal. - Cool match, but nothing too special.
  • Wrestlemania V - Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage - Great, but I'll take others over it.
  • Wrestlemania VIII - Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair - Always preferred Hart/Piper but 1B for best match on the show.
  • Wrestlemania XI - Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Lawrence Taylor - Huge at the time. Like the battle royal from Wrestlemania II it's more of a special/celebrity type match.
  • Wrestlemania XII - Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart - Probably one I'll draw comments for. Good match? Yes. Long match? Yes. Has it held up to today? Not sure.
  • Wrestlemania XV - The Rock vs. Steve Austin - Prefer the match at 17 and 19. 19 has the Austin retirement pull to it.
  • Wrestlemania X-7 - Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon - Fun match but much better matches out there.
  • Wrestlemania XX - Chris Benoit vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels - So much drama. Some people might have an issue watching it. For those that don't, it's a fun watch and was a big moment at the time.
  • Wrestlemania 21 - Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Really wanted to put this match on there but felt like there was other moments/matches that deserved it a bit more. Was the hardest match to cross off my list.
