15 Greatest WrestleMania matches of all time: Part 3
WrestleMania, the Grandest Stage of Them All.
When a Superstar walks down that aisle, they know that they have to give a hundred percent of their emotion into their match. They have to make the fans feel everything they are emotionally and physically.
Since it's a pay-per-view which is rich when it comes to history, and considering the 35th event is approaching fast, I have decided to choose fifteen matches that I think are at the top of the chart in the pay-per-view's 35-year history.
The challenge is a daunting one because WWE’s long-running wrestling extravaganza has seen countless classics over the past three decades, but which of these deserve the honour of being labelled as the greatest match in the history? Let's take a look.

#5: Bret Hart vs Owen Hart, WrestleMania X
One of the hardest tasks in sports entertainment is opening the show at WrestleMania. There's always a great deal of pressure when you’re the first performer the crowd sees, and when its WrestleMania, that pressure is multiplied by a thousand. Blood brothers Bret and Owen Hart were given that exact task at the tenth anniversary of the show and did not disappoint. The hype for this match was very high, as were the expectations, and the two brothers delivered big time.
They took the centre stage and put on a clinic. From bell to bell, the match was virtually flawless, and on any other night easily would’ve been the best match. What makes this match even more memorable is that Owen won in a huge upset. I don’t think anyone in their right mind expected him to beat Bret that night, as Owen was not even seen as being in Bret’s class at the time.
The Harts put on a clinic in mat wrestling, selling and psychology and would have single-handedly made this show awesome. Anyway, this is a must see match for wrestling fans and is the match that made Owen a star and poured more fuel into the searing Hart Family fire. This match is the absolute definition of pure wrestling.
