Late upload. I had to render this 3 different times because of some minor issues. WrestleMania XXVI was enjoyable for me. The main event easily stands out as the best and is one of my favorite WrestleMania main event matches ever. Other than that, there's some cool stuff here but it's not an all time show. The one thing that stands out is that this was the last full timer WM. After this, a bunch of guys like Jericho and Batista left. What did you think of WrestleMania XXVI?
2010
wrestlemania 26 was an underrated good wrestlemania and star stacked. One of my personal faves. Batista, john cena, undertaker, shawn michaels, chris jericho, edge, randy orton, rey mysterio, triple h, big show, cm punk, kane, breat hart, vince mcmahon, sheamus, wow.
This is so late. Unsubscribing
This maina was a decent maina it's a favourite of mine but not top 5 level
Can you make Bret hart 2010 run
Growing up in the Ruthless Agreesion Era years, 2010-11 was pretty hard for me. Was too young to understand PG.
Jeff Hardy signed with TNA in January, HBK & Batista leaving, Y2J taking time off again the end of September, Edge retiring April 2011, Undertaker & Triple H going part time (No PPV money) I could not see them often. It was like all my favorites were leaving.
2011 is when the indie workrate era started and that did nothing but killing wwe and so many fans stopped watching during pg era
Edge retires on April, not March
yeah I agree, this was the last time I watch RAW and SD and never missing a episode
WWE wasn't in the Ruthless Aggression Era during 2010-2011
@@snakeeyes2551 I didn't say it was. I just pointed out I grew up in the Ruthless Agreesion era

@@arturdeja6861 Jeff Hardy was actually taking time off but he decides to go to TNA
@@itachi-kun7736 yh he could have went back to WWE.
I think it’s only slighty underrated because I’d be damn if I took this Wrestlemania out of my top 5 lol 😂. It’s star packed I think the biggest abs for me only problem was the ending of the money in the bank. If a Christian, Kane, or Matt Hardy one it would have been amazing. This was before Kane won his money in bank match and world title so we were still waiting on another title run from him. Christian came back after being a huge star in Tna, killed it in ECW, and deserved the win here. Then Matt Hardy a fan favorite that wwe never gave a world title chance to. Swagger winning was the most underwhelming thing of the night. The 3 big WM matches 2 world title matches and main event was awesome.
This was the last Wrestlemania with some legends being full timers. Shawn retired, Triple H and Undertaker eventually became part timers, and some more people from that era started leaving. It was pretty sad and eventful.
I agree even though they were PG in 2 years, this was like the true ending of Ruthless Aggression era, HBK, Batista and other Ruthless Aggression superstars were released, and HHH & 'taker went full part timer mode
I been saying this for years
This felt like the grand finale to the Ruthless Aggression Era
I stand by this belief: WWE died the moment Shawn Michaels retired. WWE went on to a steady decline. WWE had a few gems through the last decade but overall WWE as we knew and loved growing up in the 90s and 2000s was officially dead.
10000000% True
in my opinion it died when cm punk got buried by triple h in night of champions but its been on a rise recently
It never died
I'm glad I'm not the only with that sentiment. 9 year old me wanted HBK to break the streak.
If they had focused on all their young talent like they did The Shield, then it wouldn’t have died. All their NXT call ups are wishy washy depending who you ask
Man this was my first ever wrestlemania and I loved every second of it
It truly did feel like an end to am era. When you compare wrestlemania 26 to 27, the difference in 1 year was huge. The stars wwe lost after wrestlemania 26 were Shawn Michaels, Batista, Chris Jericho, Triple H (begins part time), Undertaker( begins part time), and Edge (retires after wrestlemania 27). So many greats I grew up with faded away. Cena and Orton were still there but after them, they were lacking stars for a while.
they were trying to push The Miz, Swagger, Sheamus, Mcintyre, Ziggler in 2010, a year later Miz is in the main event but he was terrible, sure he got great mic skills but he wasn't ready, alone in the main event of WM, which is for me the worst 'mania in the 2010s, Swaggers push got halted quickly, Sheamus was criticize for his early push bc he was said to be HHH's gym buddy, Mcintyre was too young, and Ziggler needed a manager
@@itachi-kun7736 Miz was critical how he was WWE Champion
@@itachi-kun7736beside swagger
The rest are great
Dolph was literally the most charsmia on sd with Vicky
Miz had great mic skills and good character work. All he needed is better booking as champion
Sheamus was average before taking out hhh but after that sheamus gained more respect backstage and improved when he faced guys like koft and Morrison
That was the last great year, before 2011 when CM Punk dropped his Pipe Bomb.
What about 2012 and 2013 and 2016
@@memetheslumpgod1779 2010-2017 were great, after, it became Mediocre to Solid

@@pleaseshutup7053 2014 felt pretty awkward for some reason but at the same time I appreciated it because WWE took some good steps on building the future
CM Punk title reign was garbage. Dude wasn't a draw
This was the last Wrestlemania I watched for a loooong time because HBK retired. Ironically what brought me back into the fold was watching Brock breaking Takers streak at a wings spot on a PPV they played.
One of my favourites! 2010 was such a good year … maybe not for wwe but they pulled it all together for Wrestlemania!! The matches, the stadium, the stage design, the location!
This was the real 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania. It angers me so much that they deemed Wrestlemania 25 as the anniversary. That's not how anniversaries work WWE.
yeah that shi was dumb
@@duran2xx They should have called it the 25th annual Wrestlemania. They are not the same as I tighten my tie.
@@spartanq7781 why would WrestleMania 26 be an anniversary?
@@charlieoocharlie9466 It was the 25th Wrestlemania after 25. 25 doesn't make any sense as the 25th anniversary because that implies the first Wrestlemania is the 1st anniversary but as I said that's not how anniversaries work.
I considered this PPV the true end of the 2000s & the official start of the 2010s.
Uploads right after I clocked out from worked. Nice timing!
Thank you need this video I'm at work 💯🔥🔥
wm 26 was my fave ever. the energy, feeing, matches, stories, stage, everything was perfect and there will never be a wm this unique. that stadium was fkin massive to be in. if you look into how much they spent production wise its insane. great theme songs, great middle retractable roof super sunny inside then they'd close it then re open it. it felt such a magical experience. sorry for my bad english im excited
(Prime super)John cena vs undertaker at wrestlemania for the streak would've been one of the most anticipated matches in history.....such a Missed opportunity
Cena wants taker at mania XXX but plans changed it
@@itachi-kun7736 I also heard it was gonna be cena vs taker at wm 33 but it was scrapped because cena wanted to do the storyline/proposal with Nikki Bella
@@itachi-kun7736 it should've happened at Wrestlemania 27 with Taker defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Cena
Alberto Del Rio faces Miz for the WWE title
And Edge takes on HHH
Would've been so much better
I love the original plans/rumors part of the video, especially because every year it seems like Undertaker was supposed to have a different match so I love hearing about it!!
The Dominick turning heel thing didn’t age well
This is gonna be great
The official end of Ruthless Aggression.
This is how I'd put every era in a timeline:
Pre Golden Era: 70's - 1983
Golden Era/Rock 'N' Wrestling: 1983 - 1993 (Hogan leaving is the true end)
New Generation: 1993 - 1996 (Austin 3:16 pretty much signals Attitude coming)
Attitude: 1996 - 2002 (Austin and Rock leaving makes this the end to me)
Ruthless Aggression: 2002 - 2010 (Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Batista, Tommy Dreamer's departure, all in one year)
True PG Era: 2011 - 2014 (Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan's Hogan esque pushes felt like the beginning of a new era)
Network Era: 2014 - 2018 (Just felt like this fit well with how the product felt)
New Era: 2019 - 2022 (This also fits well)
Reality era has a real name
Tommy Dreamer's departure did not have a profoud effect on WWE.
The attitude era started in 97
@@fleezelight I'm just saying all of them going made it feel less like Ruthless Aggression. Same with guys like Hardcore Holly, Mr Kennedy and Shelton Benjamin.
@@fleezelight 😂
Started watching wrestling in late 2009. So this was my first WrestleMania
Dude same. I was sad back then that I didn't experience jeff hardy
Completely unrelated to the video but I haven’t been subscribed and CZcams will show me your videos in this case 16 minutes after you post them lol, I finally subbed so let’s hope it doesn’t bury your content now
Great video
Feel so old relating the miz to the challenge more than wwe and watching all these guys age is heartbreaking
its my top 10 fave wrestlemanias of all time for sure and one of my all time fave main events as well
Wrestlemaina 26 the most underrated WrestleMania
I, right there, i've considered no longer fan of WWE. This video is gold.
Banger viddddd letsss goooooo
(20:47) Vicky may not be a wrestler, but at least she knew to do some splashes befoe she made the second pin, to sell it more. That lil bit of improv is actually pretty veteran of Vicky.
I completely forgot about WWE Superstar till u mentioned it🥲🥲 time flies.
Literally the year I started watching WWE
The cucumber joke had me rolling on the floor!!
One of my Favorite's 💯🙂🔥
2010 was a rough year for the WWE! But this is one of my favorite WrestleManias of the 2010s. One of my favorite shows ever. HBK/Taker II just killing it, The MITB Ladder Match was amazing, HHH vs Sheamus was good, The Triple Threat Match was decent, and Cena/Batista II was amazing too. This show carried one of the most disappointing years of all time.
Edge vs Y2J was great too.
WrestleMania 26 was pretty decent. The only highlight of the show was Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels. Besides that, the other matches more or less fly by. But at least it's way better than what was to come the following year.
I like how said Rey works better with shorter wrestlers, which he really does and it doesn’t make you have to suspend disbelief as much. However I thought it was funny because I hear a lot that he works better with the bigger wrestlers. Which is also true. Another reason why Rey is a legend.
15:53 gotta love the perfect timing between Bret's pose and the titantron.
almost at 70k subscribers🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I didn't realize the lyrics to Show-Miz had that until you mentioned it 😂😂 I came to.... LMAO 3:53
I can’t believe they picked swagger winning the title instead of Christian or Matt hardy. That ruined the ppv and smackdown this year for me.
Christian ended up winning it a year later but Drew or Hardy winning it would be cool
@@bentob1oxnah
Drew was too young
Matt was out his prime
Sheldon or dolph or maybe Matt are good choices
Mania 26 was definitely star studded no doubt about it the matches even stacked up
Wrestlemania 26 was my first ever PPV I watched and I had only been watching WWE since January 2010 so wrestlemania 26 will always be special to me
Wrestlemania 26 was my first ppv I ever watched as well
I started with Wrestlemania 5 LOL
as much as i’m happy you’re able to appreciate your start and time watching WWE, but there will be nothing like the pre 2011 wee
@@anesu4548 dang you’re lucky you got to live through all the best years of wrestling 😂
Lol my first wrestlemania was wm 24. I didn’t care about ric flair like my mindset at that age was like if you’re not Triple H or Cena you’re irrelevant but boy I was ignorant
Those rumors are crazy
Dude I was literally thinking about this last week. How WM 26 was the last wrestlemania with allot of the top guys of that era. Shawn retired, Batista left two months later, Undertaker went part time, Triple H went part time, Edge wrestled for one more year then retired and Jericho wrestled for a few months and left and didn't return till 2012.
And WM26 had allot of star power to it only one was missing was Jeff Hardy
Lol which is why WM 27 was kind of a let down. There were some good matches like Punk vs Orton, Cody vs Rey, HHH vs Taker

“it would be like dominik turning heel, it’s just not the right moment”

Can you please talk about Michelle McCool's face era to heel turn gimmick marking one of the greatest underrated heels of all time. I know you have addressed about laycool but it would be so cool if you could do so.
🐐💯
Jeff was supposed to return? WTF
Nahh fr tho it would’ve been hyped asf if he need come back that year and 2010 was my peak fandom
Man i still remember hbk vs hhh in hell in a cell was still in high school
I stuck around for 3 more years but Wrestlemania 30 WWE lost me. I watch occasionally now but will only watch full time to see the final runs for Edge and Orton, the last 2 full time RA Stars left
Let’s go
After WrestleMania 26 SmackDown got destroyed in the draft Raw took all the SmackDown talents Chris Jericho Edge John Morrison
I don't like SD after the draft. It felt kind of dry.
@@wrestlingspremier
Sheamus should’ve had been drafted to sd so he can helped the main event sence
This was the first WrestleMania I watched
You forgot to mention that during Rey's entrance the platform that shoots Rey up from under the stage got stuck and Rey had to climb out of it.
Wrestlemania 26 was the first show I ever watched. I had briefly seen smackdown a couple days before and this was the first time I sat through a whole show. Sucks that my first show was HBK’s last. I hoped for so long that he’d come back and when he did I was like damn why now 🤣
Miss these days
Not the best, but definitely the most stacked WM card in the last decade. Look at the star power in this show.
Legends : Taker, Bret, HBK, HHH, Vince
Established stars : Cena, Batista, Orton, Edge, Jericho, Rey, Punk, Christian, Big Show, Kane
Up & comers / Future Stars : Drew, Morrison, Sheamus, Miz, Kofi, Cody, Dolph, Swagger, Bourne, Dibiase
It'll took awhile until we see this kind of card on Wrestlemania. And i doubt will happen anytime soon.
Ironic you post this, two days later, Trips retires.
since its mania season I think u should rate every one from worst to best, since we have the most stupendous coming up
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏿
Ngl I think that cm punk wit the straight edge society was the blue print for Seth Rollins Monday night messiah
I would say Wrestlemania 26 was the official started of the Universe Era.

No I could've sworn the theme for WM26 was *"I made it"* by Cash Money Heroes
He did mention that
Random late comment but you can actually do a Hot Tag at the very start of the match if you wanted in SvR 2011. You just have to press the button for a Hot Tag and let your partner get injured just a tiny bit. I remember my friends and I abused it everytime we started a tag match, but would ultimately pay the price as we didn't have it later.
26:50 Tombstone Piledriver Premium 💀💀💀
Most of the legends retired or semi retired by 2010
I don't think it was the worst but I can agree I seen better years and it's because the wwe failed to build new stars to be main event players such as kofi, Dolph, Morrison wade Barrett and ect. But it's one of my favorites and I loved the year 2010
This is the first wrestlemania I bought to watch it was a good choice
I never plum quit watching until The Undertaker actually retired haven't watched a match since
2010 a bad year? Whoever said that was trippin
Facts
it was mediocre compared to the attitude era
@@d0giem that’s like comparing a hot n spicy to a chick fil a spicy deluxe sandwich. Both are good but chic fil a makes it look mediocre 😂
The 2nd half was tbh
Yo wrestling premier for a new series u should pick a superstar in wwe currently and determine if they deserve a push for the world title for example I think sheamus is one of the best wrestlers on smack down and I believe he deserves a push for the universal championship
No Wrestlemamia will ever top the 5 straight years of 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29. They may not be the best Wrestlemamias of all time however, they had 2 of the greatest Wrestlemamia fueds of all time The Undertaker, Shawn Micheals & Triple H story, and The Rock & John Cena Rivalry. plus everytime I see these Wrestlemamias it reminds me of my childhood I was 10-14. Wrestlemamia 26 was the first Wrestlemamia I owned on DVD & 28 was the first I seen live.
The part when you said Drew McIntyre landed on his kids😂😂😂🤣😂😂
Kofi with the heavyweight chaaampionshiiip 😖
The last great WrestleMania
26 wasn't a bad show by any means but I felt like it was lacking. I would have had Swagger cash in on Jericho that night to have a classic moment that would have been show stealing.
Sheamus vs. HHH was stale as both had simular styles while we did see some good bouts like Cena vs. Batista and Jericho vs. Edge.
HBK vs. Undertaker was good maybe not 25 good but it was a great match and it told such a great story.
Its a shame we don't see this kind of show today in wrestling but WWE and really the wrestling world changed so much that now its unrecognizable. Heck WWE now only gets half of the audience it once did back in 2010 so that should tell you something. People try to apply the logic of ratings don't matter but if that's true then wrestling is only for hard-core fans and fortune 500 companies. That won't work long term.
Still 2010 wrestling was solid and had so many good moments as WrestleMania was a solid show. Its a shame we are not getting this type of action today.
Wrestlemania 26 definitely felt like the end of the road for aloooot of wwe fans, myself included. Triple H and Undertaker went part time, Batista and Jericho left was basically the last of their full time roles as well, HBK retired with Edge following as well a year later, the only ones that stayed were Orton and Cena but that’s it.
Don’t forget, some of the guys that were staples of the mid cards left too like Benjamin, Mvp and Carlito.
