WWE WrestleMania: 5 great WrestleMania 19-24 matches you may have forgotten

WrestleMania 24 was among the best cards of all the great events in the legendary pay-per-view series.

In the early 20th Century, WWE was at an interesting juncture that ultimately perhaps cost the company some potential stars. The roster held a unique blend of talent, from older stars like Shawn Michaels, Undertaker and even Ric Flair to other Attitude Era stars like Triple H and Edge.

At the same time, talent that came over from WCW and ECW were also in the mix, and future main-eventers like John Cena, Randy Orton and Batista were bursting onto the scene. That left some potential top talent performing early on the card for WrestleMania events, and resulted in some overlooked gems.

Here are five such matches from WrestleMania 18 through WrestleMania 24. 

Tag Team Triple Threat

Team Angle retained the WWE Tag Team titles in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 19.

To get it out of the way up front, the tag team triple threat match is second only to the modern mixed tag match for the most awkward match stipulation. Having three teams but only two represented in the ring is a tough booking assignment, but Team Angle, Los Guerreros and the team of Chris Benoit and Rhyno pulled it off well at WrestleMania 19. 

The match held a great blend of styles, from Shelton Benjamin’s raw athleticism and pure wrestling ability to Benoit’s technical skills to the wily strategy of the Guerreros. These six men did a great job of using the unique match rules and the natural confusion that would ensue to create a compelling match.
