PHIL DORKS OUT WITH THE STATS!
- No match was a unanimous selection. The closest was the Hart vs. Hart WrestleMania match as it was on 43 of the 44 ballots.

- Breakdown of the Top 20 – 7 matches from an “In Your House” card, 5 matches from WrestleManias, 4 Summerslams, 2 from the “Other” category, 1 Survivor Series, 1 Royal Rumble.

- A case can be made that WrestleMania X was the WWF Card of the Decade because the #1 and #2 match were from that show. The next best showing was Canadian Stampede, which had the #16 and #27 matches.

- Best Year for WWF Wrestling – 1997 with 6 matches in Top 30, 1996 had 5 matches in the top 20
