We should see the age range of the members on this site from everyone's answers lol. Keep in mind from my answers that I started watching early 2000's so other than watching stuff back, I didn't experience anything before that live.
Favorite mania for me is 31, probably because it's the only one I was there for but even watching it back, that was a damn good show. 2nd would probably be mania 17, Rock/Austin is legendary, I was absolutely in love with the TLC match as a kid and still love watching that back.
Favorite matches, like I said Austin/Rock at 17, TLC from 17, Jericho/HBK from 19, Angle/Lesnar from 19, obviously the 2 taker/hbk matches, Punk/Taker, the first MITB.
Favorite moments: Punk winning MITB for the first time, Edge/Jeff spear spot, Rollins cash in, The Miz's pre match promo at mania 27, Austin's heel turn, Curbstomp into an RKO, Rusev's tank entrance, Brock's SSP onto his fookin head, Dbry's title win at 30, Hardy's return, Streak ending (regardless of what you thought about the decision, the moment of seeing it end was shocking.)
and how could I forget the atmosphere for Hogan vs Rock brother - HH

I lost interest sometime during the start of ruthless aggression and didn't pick back up til around 06 and the first mania I watched live was 23 and for some reason at the time was big on Batista I remember wanting him to break the streak nothing else from that show really stuck with me besides Vince getting his head shaved lol.
As for the favorite, I'd have to give it to 30 Daniel Bryan winning the title was just such a good moment and even though he lost the match that moment in the Cena/Wyatt match where he had Cena's head in his hands and started singing was fucking great looked like Cena held back laughing .
Favorite moments/matches: CM Punk vs Chris Jericho, CM Punk vs Undertaker, Heist of the century, RKO off the ladder to Punk at 23, Chris Benoit/HHH/HBK WM 20, Orton/HHH/Cena Punt Kick spot at 24, Punk winning MITB, And the only other I can remember is Miz beating Cena at 27.

17, 21, and 24.
17 is an obvious reason, for most. Benoit vs Angle, Shane vs Vince, Tag TLC, Taker vs HHH, and of course Rock vs Austin, with Austin's legendary heel turn.
21 was filled with great moments, like Cena and Batista's first world title wins. Eddie vs Mysterio was an insane opening match. Angle vs HBK, MITB, and Taker vs Orton is one of my favorite Taker mania matches of all the time.
I may be alone here, but 24 was a spectacular mania. Punk's first MITB, Flair vs HBK, Orton/Cena/HHH, and Taker vs Edge being my favorite of Taker's mania matches.
Favorite moments would be Rollins' cash in, Taker losing, Edge spearing Foley onto the flaming table, Dbry winning, Rock/Hogan, Shane jumping off of the cell, Eddie and Benoit's world title celebration.
Favorite matches would take a while to go over so I'll just name a few. Some I've already named, as well as HBK vs Bret Hart, Austin vs Bret Hart, Steamboat vs Savage, Taker vs HHH HIAC, HBK vs Y2J, both HBK vs Taker matches, and I think that Cena vs HBK at 23 is a bit underrated.

I am 22, I have not watched Mainias, in full the past few years.
My favorite Wrestlemainia is WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, (just kidding) My favorite is Favorite mania for me is leaning towards maybe 23 or 24.
Favorite matches, like I said Aguila vs. Taka Michinoku, Shawn Micheals vs. Undertaker 25, Undertaker vs. Triple H from 28, Raven vs. Big Show vs. Kane, and Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar.
Favorite moments: Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan winning the champion. Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg from last year. The Wrestlemainia 21 trailers and 22 intro. PG-13 doing the Nation of Domination and Men on A Mission entrances. The Ultimate Warrior plane promo. Randy Savage and Elizabeth getting back together.

My favorite Wrestlemania of all time is Wrestle Kingdom 11.
But if I have to play by the rules I guess I'd go with Wrestlemania 10. It was a two match show. But those two matches were Bret vs Owen and Shawn vs Razor. Both are among the 5-to-7 best matches in Mania history.
Best Mania match is Bret vs Austin.
My favorite Mania moment used to be the end of Wrestlemania 20, but then... certain things happened that lessened it's appeal. So I guess I'll go with the gloriously over-the-top melodramatics of Warrior vs Savage at Mania 7, including, but not limited to the reunion of Savage and Elizabeth. That is the WWE's version of sports entertainment at it's cornball best.

My favorite Manias are 12 (purely sentimental), 19, 21, 22, and 30.
I was lucky enough to be live and within the first six rows for two Wrestlemanias - 26 and 27.
My favorite matches include the Iron Man Match from 12, Eddie and Rey from 21 ( suuuuper underrated), the first MITB, the TLC II of course, HBK and Angle, the two HBK Taker matches, and Daniel Bryan's performances in 30. I'm also a huge fan of Roman and Brock from 31.
If I had to single it down to just one, desert island Mania, I would choose 30. Bryan has meant so much to me and my fandom, and that Wrestlemania was just everything to me. I doubt there will be another like it, but I sure hope there is!

My favorite Manias are 26, 28(didn't watch WWE after WM 26 and watched this one when I returned to watch pro wrestling 2 years was a huge deal back then, It felt really long, and 21 probably because it was my first WM. Everytime I watch it gives me that excitement that I've felt before. I was a huge Cena head back then. Also Booyaka Booyaka. 31 because It was my last Mania that I've seen as a huge (fulltime) fan It was really something special. Favorite matches: Cena v Rock 1st one, HBK vs Ric flair 24, HBK vs Taker 2 matches, Taker vs HHH 3 matches, Taker v Punk, Jericho vs Punk, Austin v Rock.
Favorite Moments: Taker vs. HBK ending at 26. Rollins cash-in, Daniel Bryan winning the title at 30. HBK HHH Taker walk off on a 20-0 sign the end of an era. And Orton doing a really cool RKO to Rollins at 31.

My favorite manias are 17,19,22,24,26, 31.
I would include 33 in there simply for the fact im a bit bias and was there live but thats just wouldn’t be true.
Favorite matches would be Shawn vs Kurt, Bret vs Austin, TLC 2, Both HBK vs Taker matches, Taker vs HHH HIAC, John Cena vs HBK, Bryan vs Orton vs Batista, Roman vs Brock.
Favorite moments gotta be Bryan winning the titles, the shock on peoples faces when cena won at 22, The Curbstomp into RKO and Seth cashing in later that night, and Austins heel turn was awesome but in the end it wasnt so awesome but still a great moment.
