Ranking All 37 WWE WrestleMania Stages - From Worst To Best

28. WrestleMania XI/WrestleMania XII/WrestleMania 13

Fondly remembered from the few fans that stuck around for the company's creative and financial nadir, the generic doorway that graced every pay-per-view throughout the mid-1990s didn't exactly help WrestleMania break out from the pack and escape the shadow cast across the rest of the organisation.

A side entrance in 1995 and 1996 as performers walked in front of an LED wall, it was used to far greater effect in 1997 as the direct pathway to the ring itself. Stone Cold Steve Austin's iconic 'Austin 3:16' smashed glass arrival at WrestleMania 13 made even better use of an idea Vince McMahon had for Diesel two years earlier. 'The Rattlesnake', unlike 'Big Daddy Cool', but prove more worthy of the financial investment.
