Best Comment Ever

It was so called by Brilliant Reader Pete. I must concur. Roman numerals? Check. Wrestlemania? Check. It has everything a great comment should.

 



The comment from BR Brian in the post about Roman numerals and their place win sports history points out that not ALL Wrestlemanias were numbered by Roman.

The comment in its entirety -- with all the Wrestlemanias in it.

Well, technically, only some Wrestlemanias get Roman Numerals. Some get Arabic. Some get weird hybrids

Here's the list, by the official name the company has given it each year, guaranteed to bother anyone with even the slightest case of OCD.

Wrestlemania
Wrestlemania 2
Wrestlemania III
Wrestlemania IV
Wrestlemania V
Wrestlemania VI
Wrestlemania VII
Wrestlemania VIII
Wrestlemania IX
Wrestlemania X
Wrestlemania XI
Wrestlemania XII
Wrestlemania 13 Heat
Wrestlemania XIV
Wrestlemania XV
Wrestlemania 2000
Wrestlemania X-Seven
Wrestlemania X8
Wrestlemania XIX
Wrestlemania XX
Wrestlemania 21
Wrestlemania 22
Wrestlemania 23
Wrestlemania XXIV
The 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania
Wrestlemania XXVI
Wrestlemania XXVII
Wrestlemania XXVIII

Wrestlemania 29's current poster simply says 

Wrestlemania NY NJ 

without a number.

And yes, I know that Wrestlemania 26 would actually be the 25th anniversary, but tell the WWE, not me.

  1. I didn't comment on the last post, on this comment, since Joe's post about Roman Numerals was so dull.... but this was a great comment. It was so throroughly understood and researched. Obviously by a huge wrestling fan with a great sense of humor about his sport of choice. Well done.

  3. Really, it should be "WrestleMania 13 Heat!" or just "WrestleMania 13" (if you're of the opinion that "Heat!" was just the event's tagline), and the "M" of "Mania" should always be capitalized, but that's probably nitpicking.

    1. You are completely correct that it should have been "Heat!"

      I include the tag line because the WrestleMania dvd collection includes it on that show, and only that show, on the title on the disc.

  4. Remember, also, that you wouldn't call the man "Robert Griffin 3".
