10 greatest babyface WrestleMania victories

Everyone loves a good babyface story, even if some hardcore fans in the present day don’t want to admit that. Sure, it’s fun to cheer for the bad guys from time to time, but above that, one of the great luxuries of being a professional wrestling fan is seeing someone overcome the odds in order to reign supreme on the grandest stage of them all.

It’s storytelling brilliance at its finest, and as you’ll be able to tell by the variation of 'Manias featured in this list, it’s something that has been going on for decades now. Regardless of era changes or shifts in management perception, one thing has always remained the same – babyfaces win at WrestleMania more often than not.

Of course there’s evidence to dispute that theory in recent years, but for the most part, it tends to be the smart way to go.

With that being said, here are our list of ten greatest babyface WrestleMania victories.

#10 Ricky Steamboat – WrestleMania 3

Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat has always been held in the highest regard by those within the world of professional wrestling for years now, and it’s easy to see why. From his consistent babyface persona in the ring to his fantastic personality outside of it, Steamboat is an example of how a WWE icon should behave both during and after his days in the ring.

Perhaps his crowning moment came at WrestleMania 3 when he and Randy Savage put on one of the greatest matches in WWE history – and no, we aren’t kidding. It was a technical masterpiece which reaffirmed why the Intercontinental Championship is considered to be the ‘workhorse’ title, and it was also a win that truly put Steamboat on the map.
