Since its inception in 1985, WrestleMania is the oldest and biggest PLE that wrestling fans worldwide look forward to. It’s the pinnacle of the WWE calendar, which every wrestler aspires to feature on. WrestleMania is so huge that casual wrestling fans will tune in to watch it.<\/p>\n
For sure, not every WrestleMania has lived up to the billing, but the glitz and glamour of WrestleMania is hard to resist. WWE pulls out all the stops for a memorable WrestleMania with the best matches typically reserved for the Show of Shows.<\/p>\n
While WrestleMania is the oldest PLE, Survivor Series is the second-oldest PLE. The first Survivor Series took place a couple of years after WrestleMania in 1987. Traditional Survivor Series elimination matches, and in recent years, War Games, have been the main selling point of Survivor Series.<\/p>\n
However, as both WrestleMania and Survivor Series are a part of WWE’s “Big Four” events, there have been several instances where matches have taken place at both events. Some home runs have been hit in rematches at both WrestleMania and Survivor Series encounters, but some bouts have bored fans.<\/p>\n
Mark Henry and Ryback are two physical specimens, but their matches against each other were boring. The World’s Strongest Man and Ryback butted heads at WrestleMania 29. Henry was the heel, and Ryback was the babyface. The fans at MetLife Stadium didn’t care about this match, and Ryback attempted Shellshock, but Henry grabbed the ropes and flattened Ryback. Henry knocked off Ryback, but Ryback attacked Henry after the match.<\/p>\n
A few months later, Ryback issued an open challenge at Survivor Series 2013, and Henry answered the call. The World’s Strongest Man debuted a new look as he was bald. The roles were reversed with Henry as the face and Ryback as the heel.<\/p>\n
This bout was just as boring as their WrestleMania encounter, but their Survivor Series meeting was slightly better. The result remained the same, with Henry triumphant after executing the World’s Strongest Slam.<\/p>\n
