Line 39:
* [[Passing the Torch]]: The [[Ultimate Warrior]] defeating [[Hulk Hogan]] at ''WrestleMania 6'' to win the WWF Championship, seen as a "passing the torch" moment (even if it didn't fully work out).
* [[Genre Blindness|Pay-Per-View Blindness]]: ''Wrestlemania 27'' was extremely lackluster, with many last minute changes, including [[What Were You Thinking?|scrapping]] the [[Daniel Bryan]] vs [[Sheamus]] match so they could give [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] a 20-minute promo (it also reduced the length of the other matches). A large amount of time was spent making skits; people joked that someone accidentally switched Wrestlemania's script for the next ''Raw'' script.
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: ''Wrestlemania'' often has at least one live musical guest. Usually a singer performs [[America The Beautiful]], and sometimes a band gives a wrestler an [[Theme Music Power-Up|Entrance Music Power-Up]], e.g. [[Motorhead (Music)|Motörhead]], who've appeared twice, playing [[Triple H]]'s music ([
* [[Retired Badass]]: [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]], the guest referee of [[Brock Lesnar]] vs. [[Goldberg]] at ''WrestleMania 20''. What should have been a dream matchup was ruined by Lesnar's surprise decision to quit WWE to try out for the NFL, and [[Goldberg]] seemed to think the whole match was a joke. The only cheering was for Austin, who delivered a Stunner to both Lesnar and [[Goldberg]] after the match.
** Similarly, at WM 27 Austin was guest ref for [[Jerry Lawler]] vs [[Michael Cole]]. Cole spent close to 10 minutes beating on Lawler. To say that the crowd did not enjoy this would be an understatement. The end of the match then had the ''Raw'' general manager retroactively disqualify Lawler because Guest Referee Austin got involved in the match. [[Booker T]] and Josh Mathews also [[What the Hell, Hero?|got Stunners without doing anything]] - likely just an excuse to get [[Jim Ross|J.R.]] and King back together on commentary for the rest of the show.
Line 50:
* [[Trope 2000]]: WrestleMania 2000 (aka WrestleMania 16).
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: ''WrestleMania 15'' featured [[The Undertaker]] defeating The Big Boss Man in a plodding, boring, forgettable Hell in a Cell match. After the match, Undertaker had The Brood slip a noose down through the roof of the Cell so he could "hang" Boss Man. To top it all off, Big Boss Man suddenly showed up on ''Raw'' the next night as if nothing happened, and the whole thing was [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|never mentioned again]]. Undertaker's [[Ministry of Darkness]] [[Costume Porn|attire]] and entrance was probably the best part of the whole thing.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: It's had its moments.
** WM 15 - [[Triple H]] turns against D-X and joins the Corporation signaling his main event push.
** WM X7 - Stone Cold [[Steve Austin]] joins forces with Mr. McMahon.
* [[Worked Shoot|Worked/Unworked Shoot]]: The boxing match (yes, at '''Wrestle'''mania) between Butterbean and Bart Gunn [
* [[X Makes Anything Cool]]: The thinking behind naming the 17th and 18th installments ''WrestleMania X-Seven'' and ''WrestleMania X-8''.
* [[You Fail Mathematics Forever]]: when Undertaker was set to face HHH at WM 27, they pretended that HHH and 'Taker had never wrestled before. 'Taker said that he had "beaten 19 men" at Wrestlemania, when he had faced [[Kane (Wrestling)|Kane]] and [[Shawn Michaels]] twice.
