Ranking Wrestlemania Logos

Obviously, the main focus of my blog (and sporting life as a whole) are mainstream sports, specifically college football and basketball. However, my sport fanaticism is actually rooted in wrestling which I began to follow around the age of 5. The process of cheering on “good guys” as I called them (aka babyfaces) and cheering against “bad guys” (heels) prepared me for a life of boisterously cheering for and against various teams. Now, my eight year old son is going through his own “wrestling phase”, and in honor of the Bad Blood Premium Live Event that we are attending together in Atlanta, I am publishing a series of wrestling rankings on this blog. The second of these columns is a ranking of the greatest Wrestlemania logos of all-time. This is a project my son wanted to take on because not only is he really into wrestling right now but he is into logos in general. Our commentary about each logo is written below each, as well as the rating out of 5 we collectively gave it (5 being the best and 1 being the worst). Please feel free to comment or debate.
