This was another year that just had so many great matches to offer: Hulk Hogan squared away against Vince McMahon, Brock won his first WWE title against Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels had another classic with Chris Jericho, and it was the conclusion of a trilogy of matches between Stone Cold and The Rock, the match that would ultimately see the Rattlesnake ride off into the sunset.prevnext
3. Wrestlemania III
With 93,000 packed into the Pontiac Silverdome, fans were treated to one of the greatest all-time matches ever between "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, and then they witnessed one of the all time greatest moments when the immortal Hulk Hogan body slammed Andre the GIant.
All too often, this Wrestlemania seems to go overlooked as it happened in a down period for the wrestling business, but make no mistake, this card offered up two of the best matches of all time: First, the opening match that pitted Bret "The Hitman" Hart against his baby brother, Owen. THEN we got the first ever ladder match in an epic confrontation between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon. Every exciting ladder match that would ever follow has to pay tribute to the high bar set between these two.
But the greatest Wrestlemania of ‘em all goes to Wrestlemania X-Seven. Business was booming and the WWE was on top of the world. There was hardly a bad match on the card, and the main event saw the unthinkable happen-- Stone Cold sided with his arch nemesis Mr. McMahon to win the WWE title. But that wasn’t even the highlight of the evening-- This show featured TLC2, the second and best showdown between the Hardy Boys, the Dudleyz, and Edge & Christian, and it was one of the most exciting matches that fans would ever witness.prev
