Every Wrestlemania match ranked (part 1)

This is the culmination of a project for which I watched all 271 Wrestlemania matches (from the first Wrestlemania up to Wrestlemania 27), with a view to compiling this list which ranks every match from 1-271. Because of the quantity of matches, the wide range of match-styles and match times, and the frankly nondescipt nature of many of these matches, I can't say that this is a list that I would die defending. Indeed, on any given day a match could rise or fall a significant number of placings. Maybe tomorrow I will look at the list and wonder what I was thinking ranking match X so high or match Y so low, or just won't remember watching match Z at all! However, I did try to put as much thought as I could into this list. I made notes on each match as I watched, and tried to be as fair and impartial as I could (though, like everyone, I have my favourites). Enough waffle- here's the list!
