WWE: 25 of the best moments in WrestleMania history
By Dorathy Gass
14. The Ultimate Victory – WM 6
As a child, watching the buildup to this match was surreal. Two babyfaces going toe-to-toe on was something I had never really witnessed before, and the promos and segments leading up to the bout were on point.
After the men battled it out in the main event, Hulk Hogan would pass the proverbial torch to the Ultimate Warrior, and Hulk-a-maniacs worldwide were shocked when the Warrior defeated HH, cleanly, may I add.
13. Brother Vs. Brother – WM 10
Owen Hart scored a nice win for all younger brothers out there living in their big bro’s shadow. Not only was the outcome huge, but the match itself could land on pretty much any WrestleMania “best matches” list.
12. KofiMania Runs Wild – WM 35
Who ever would have thought Kofi Kingston’s career would take a such a dramatic turn in early 2019, in a matter of weeks and months? The fans have always been behind him, and he is undeniably one of the greatest superstars of our generation.
Watching Kofi Kingston defeat Daniel Bryan to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion was a culmination around years of hard work within the company; years he’s been overlooked as a main event player. Proof once again that anything can truly happen in the land of the WWE, if the fans are behind someone.
11. The Swanton Of The Ladder – WrestleMania 2000
It hits pretty much every WM highlight reel video package, so it hits this list too! The Hardys vs. Edge and Christian vs. The Dudley Boys in a triple threat ladder match is a memorable bout on its own; however, Jeff Hardy climbing atop a ladder to hit his Swanton Bomb on Bubba, where both superstars crashed through a table, to the floor (approximately 20 feet below) is everything WM moments are all about.
10. Sasha Banks Vs. Charlotte Vs. Becky Lynch – WM 32
It was the first time I remember the women getting grander entrances at a WrestleMania, one that mirrored their male counterparts. It was also a match that signified the end of the Diva division as we know, with the ladies officially vying for the new WWE women’s championship.
Not only was the bout incredible, but there was a certain feeling in the air when these women hit the stage, knowing that this was just the beginning around females changing the game in sports entertainment.
