Ranking All 37 WWE WrestleMania Stages - From Worst To Best

2. WrestleMania IX

WrestleMania IX Montage
WWE

Though widely considered one of the worst WrestleManias ever, the 1993 edition of the show was a huge victory for one of Vince McMahon's most ludicrous creative visions.

Crafting a Roman Coliseum in a Las Vegas carpark represented everything great about how The Chairman viewed the industry he eventually became a kingpin of. There's not a single match any fan would need to watch again, but the insane entrances of Bobby Heenan, Randy Savage, Lex Luger and others stand up to countless rewatches to appreciate the unabashed silliness of it all. Aided to by day becoming night on the West Coast, WrestleMania IX - aesthetically at least - is a stunning spectacle.
