Ultimate Wrestling Commercial5. The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan (Wrestlemania X-8)
2. Two Underdogs... Two Friends... Two Champions (Wrestlemania XX)
Years ago the wrestling business was thought of as just big and hairy giants smacking each other around and a small guy could never get a break. In the mid-90s thanks to influence from Japan and ECW, the smaller guys started to make a splash in WCW and the WWF. Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels became champions and cruiserweights were gaining an immense amount of popularity with their excellent matches. Still, nobody thought a small guy could "win the big one". That all changed in 2004. Eddie Guerrero defeated Brock Lesnar at February's No Way Out PPV and won the WWE Title. Chris Benoit had won the Royal Rumble and was thrust into a title match with HBK and the World Heavyweight Champion Triple H at the Main Event of Wrestlemania XX. Benoit had Triple H down and after some struggling, Hunter couldn't take the torture and tapped out. Finally, Benoit's 18 year journey came to a conclusion as he became the World Heavyweight Champion. After his win, Eddie Guerrero, his best friend for over 10 years, popped up with the WWE title and the two exchanged hugs and tears. In the ring were two champions who nobody thought would ever win the titles celebrating together at Wrestlemania XX. What a moment...
1. Hulk Hogan bodyslams Andre the Giant (Wrestlemania III)
If there was a moment that defined what Wrestlemania is about, it has to be at the biggest Wrestlemania of all time: Wrestlemania III. The main event between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant had been the most hyped match ever. Andre was built up as being undefeated (which he wasn't), and Hogan's biggest threat (that's more believable), and Hulk was the champ for 3 good years. A lot of people figured Andre would walk out of there with the title, but deep down wondered how the big man could possibly dethrone Hulk Hogan. Well the match happened in the jam-packed Pontiac Silverdome in front of 93,173 fans (really 78,000) in spring of 1987. Nobody thought it was possible, but Hulk Hogan actually bodyslammed the 500 lb giant and hit the big leg and won! He beat Andre in what was considered a huge upset. Hogan celebrated and since then, Mania was seen as being the biggest event ever because of this moment. By today's standards it isn't much, but it'll always be remembered.
Well there you have it, the best moments of Wrestlemania. Now be sure to order Wrestlemania 21 on Sunday, April 3rd on PPV. If you're reading this after that date, buy the DVD cause it should be awesome. About 5 Huge matches and a lot more! Don't Miss Out.
