5 Greatest WrestleMania main events of all time
WrestleMania is undoubtedly 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 feeling, both emotionally and physically.
Performing on WWE's biggest show of the year is an honor in its own right. Closing the biggest PPV of the year and taking part in the main event of WrestleMania takes things to a whole different level.
In its 34 years of rich history, the main event matches have featured WWE's most legendary performers including Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
With another WrestleMania set to take place in two months, we take a look at 5 matches that are on the top of the list. The matches making it to the list are based on the in-ring quality as well as their historical significance.
#5 Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania 12
This was a 60-minute Iron Man match. This match was something nobody has ever seen or heard of before then.
Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart have talked about this match so many times, as they feel this match couldn’t have gone any better, and for it going into overtime made it even better in the end. It was a good back and forth between the two greats, and we didn’t see a pinfall in the normal 60 minutes of this match.
In the final seconds, Hart had Michaels in a sharpshooter, and everyone though Michaels was going to tap right then and there. That didn't happen as the match went into overtime and HBK won the WWE title by hitting his signature maneuver.
The match was hyped perfectly with the interviews between the two. Shawn Michaels made his famous entrance where he came down from the rafters. Everything was just built perfectly including the overtime period due to the match being tied after 60 minutes.
The days of Ric Flair, Harley Race, and Dusty Rhodes were gone. The match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels was another passing of the torch of sorts.
