Top 10 Greatest Wrestlemania Matches Of All Time

We're continuing Wrestlemania Week with the 10 greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time. Popularity, entertainment value and in ring techniques are the criteria. So to close out the week: here are NCV's top 10...

10. Wrestlemania X8


Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock: This was a match between the greatest of all time and the great one. Its like watching the best of the old school vs. the new school. At the time Hogan was a bad guy, but when this match started, it neutralized and the fans did not disappoint. After the Rock won with the People's elbow, Hall and Nash attacked Hogan, only for the Rock to make the save and make a special celebration after the match with Hogan







9. Wrestlemania 14


Stone Cold vs. HBK with Mike Tyson as guest referee: Everyone thought Tyson was DX all the time, but after Steve Austin countered the Sweet Chin Music with the Stunner, Tyson double crosses HBK and counts Austin for the win.





8. Wrestlemania 7


Career Match: Ultimate Warrior vs. Macho Man... This match was interesting. The loser retires. Funny that the Warrior won and he ended up not coming back to the WWE and by WM 8, Savage was champ. The match was awkward from the beginning to the Warrior not doing his usual sprint to the ring, to the whole Elizabeth angle and finally the match ending to a multitude of Warrior splashes. The match though exhausting was still very entertaining.







7. Wrestlemania 8


Bret Hart vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper: What a match. Back and forth. Two good guys. Bret Hart executed all of his moves like he always does and Piper did so well to sell it. Bret with an unbelievable win by kicking the top turnbuckle off of a sleeperhold for the pin.





6. Wrestlemania 3


Ricky Steamboat vs. Macho Man: If this was a "wrestling" only contest. This would win by a landslide. The execution of this match was outstanding. No mistakes. All the sells were on point and both guys put it all out there. Ricky Steamboat ends up winning the Intercontinental Title after this match.





5. Wrestlemania 17


TLC Match: Edge/Christian vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz: Every aspect of this match was jawdropping good. The stunts and entertainment value was even better than the main event. Jeff Hardy is ridiculous when it comes to acrobatics. The Edge spear off of the ladder was an "OH SHIT" moment too. What a match! Edge and Christian win it BTW





4. Wrestlemania 12


Ironman Match Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels: 0-0 after 60 entertaining minutes. Gorilla Monsoon makes it a sudden death and this fantastic match ends with Bret taking two Sweet Chin Musics to the face and crown a new champion.









3. Wrestlemania 11


Razor Ramon vs. HBK Ladder Match: The very original ladder match was classic as you can get. Everyone will always remember the first Wrestlemania ladder match and this one did not disappoint.







2. Wrestlemania 3


Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant: How is it possible that Andre can sell a match so well! The entire 90,000+ crowd was into it the entire not and even the simple storyline of Andre not being bodyslammed made the whole match when Hogan finally did it. Though Hogan won the match, much props to Andre for selling his routine down.



1. Wrestlemania 6


Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior: Now wrestling wise, this wasn't the best wrestled match. But entertainment-wise. This was it. There were 2 camps between your friends and you were divided. Until the shocker... Warrior finally wins it. And if you're in the Hogan camp, you were stunned. But for money value, you got your money's worth every minute!

TOP 10 Wrestling Women

As Wrestlemania week continues, we honor the women of wrestling who has made a difference in a male dominated sport. We rank our top 10 to hotness and contribution to the sport. So without further ado, here is NUTCHECK VIDEO's Top 10.

10. Candace Michelle: We know she probably has no business here, but her popularity with the internet and the whole Godaddy.com has carried over to the WWE. She has become a champion already and is one of the most popular divas in the business.



9. Maria Kanellis: Ever since we saw her interviewing wrestlers a few years ago, we were hooked to her.



8. Terri Runnels: She was Goldust's wife and manager. She looked older, but her puppies were the reason Jerry Lawler would always yell em out!



7. Sable: I will always remember the first Bikini contests when Sable broke out that one piece suit. Wooooooo! Or the one where she had hand prints painted on her boobs. The girl went from a manager to a diva in the WWE overnight.



6. Sunny: She was the first HOTTIE diva! Her blonde hotness just made you remotely interested in the opening matches since the wrestlers she managed sucked! Her theme song I Know You Want Me makes me want her more.



5. Torrie Wilson: I first noticed her in WCW with Kidman and then I was in love with her. Her dimples, smile and gorgeous body gave me a reason to watch wrestling. Then added that she was an underrated wrestler who took her bumps, adds to her brilliance.



4. Lita: A down ass chick. She was pretty, talented and can beat your ass all into one. She never flaunted it like the others, which makes her mystery more appealing.



3. Trish Stratus: Out of all the women, she was the best wrestler. In a male dominated sport, she stood out in the ring. No one can touch her wrestling skills. Add the fact that she has a slammin' body and sexy, she deserves a top 3 spot.



2. Stacy Keibler: The legs were always the first think noticed. WCW was where she made her debut as Ms. Hancock. Walking down the ring with a business suit and legs that went on for days. Then when she moved to the WWE and even wrestled, our jaws just dropped in amazement.



1. Miss Elizabeth: Original hottie, manager and if you grew up watching wrestling at its best. You never forget her. Its a damn shame that she passed early, but everyone who watched wrestling will always be in debt to what she has done for the business. I will always remember Wrestlemania IV where she took off her skirt to distract the wrestlers when Macho Man and Hulk Hogan wrestled.

Top 24 Greatest WWF Entrance Themes

Ok guys, in honor of Wrestlemania 24 here are our top WWF Themes 80's and 90's only. On each we will explain why we chose them... Enjoy and happy listening...

24. Bushwhackers


In honor of Zack and Brandon, here is their theme. Everytime you hear this music, you just want to wave your arms up and down and act like an idiot. I will always remember the Bushwhackers though when they wrestled Carl Winslow and Urkel on Family Matters.



23. Yokozuna


The music reminded you of the sounds when you first enter a Chinese or Japanese restaurant. Also the song can totally be on the Karate Kid soundtrack.



22. Tatanka


You know you wanted to do the tomahawk chop when you hear the Indian noise. I can't believe this guy actually went undefeated for almost a year.



21. Mark Henry


You cannot tell me this song isn't hilarious. Sexual chocolate was an awesome character name and the Barry Whitish deep voice just added to the hilarity of this song.



20. Kamala


Kamala was one of those wrestlers that you just can't help laugh at when he comes to the ring. He is supposed to be a beast on the way to the ring, but he just looks like a retard. Plus the song makes him even more retarded on the way to the ring. This one makes the list because of its funny factor.



19. Big Bossman
" border="0" alt="" />

Hard Times was a cool song and you always imagined the Big Bossman sprinting down the aisle into the ring and twirling his nightstick.



18. Ric Flair


The original one was the best. The flashy robe the smug bastard attitude and the legend. What I loved most about his song is it always leaves you wanting to belt out a "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"



17. Mr. Perfect


What a theme! He was probably my 3rd favorite bad guy of all time. I will always remember him walking down the aisle, throwing his towel behind his back and swatting his gum at the audience.




16. Stone Cold Steve Austin


The glass breaking just tells you someone is about to get their ass kicked. Plus he'll enjoy a beer doing it. Anyplace where you can drink a beer after performing a violent act on someone is always a bonus for a guy.



15. Val Venis


HELLLLLLLOOOOO LADIES! Do I even need to say anything else?



14. Ravishing Rick Rude


My FAVORITE BAD GUY! (2nd Rick Martel) The highlight of his entrances is how he always dazzles the ladies and absolutely jobbing all the guys on how fat they are. Such a simple but yet so effective bad guy routine.



13. Demolition


Here comes the Ax, Here comes the smasher, The Demolition, Walking Disaster... Pain and destruction is our middle name!!! Aside from the "Gimp" outfit, they were such an effective tag team!



12. Kane


Big Red Machine with the fire and fireworks. The mask was much better and you knew whoever he faced was about to be destroyed.



11. Undertaker


The tolling bells was chilling. Paul Bearer leading him into the ring. The eyes staring death through you. What a classic theme for a classic character.



10. Macho Man


You knew a part of you on your graduation, while playing this song made you want to jump on your seat and yell "OOOOOOH YEEEEEEAH!"



9. Legion Of Doom


To The Dumadag bros. What a rush with those spike shoulder pads and the Doomsday Device, the song just smelled like an ass whippin!



8. Nation Of Domination


THIS IS FOR THE CREW. Not a lot of words to it, but its just to the damn point. To all the members, WE ARE THE NATION OF DOMINATION!



7. Degeneration X


The anthem that made crotch chopping popular. The crowd goes so amped for their songs and this was actually the only time where you can say suck it without getting slapped by a hooker or your girlfriend.



6. Million Dollar Man


I swear to you that this song can be made into a rap song. Listen to the words.. Everybody's got a price, everybody has to pay, cause the Million Dollar Man, always gets his way. I can see Lil Wayne or someone singing this as a hook.



5. Razor Ramon


C'mon chico. The screeching car made you want to grease up your hair and flick your toothpick at someone. This song, like him oozes machismo!



4. Shawn Michaels


He can't sing worth the shits but this theme is catchy. Scuba Steve was right, he should enter every club to this song. It is the absolute theme for conceitedness.



3. Hart Foundation


C'mon you have to give it up to the greatest tag team ever. You hear this and you want to wear the pink and black attack. It was cool to wear pink and be a badass! You just want to execute your days like the Hitman while being a workhorse and be powerful just like the Anvil.



2. Ultimate Warrior


This song is one of those in your playlist that you have to play when your running. Especially when you're on your last legs. Cause you want to sprint to the ring like the Warrior and when you're done, your adrenaline wants you to keep shaking whatever is near you and pound your chest too!



1. Hulk Hogan


What would wrestling be without the Real American? This song is wrestling. Hulk Hogan is wrestling! You know when you hear it you want to stand up and do his poses right? Hulkamania like the Nation of Domination will run wild and live forever!
