What followed was the most emotional post-match celebration ever, as the late, great Eddie Guerrero basked in the much-deserved glow for his first, and only, WWE Championship victory. Physically, his body was completely worn out and The Rock was no longer a regular WWE Superstar, so to have this incredibly meaningful match was special. They executed it like two veterans do."

The Huggable One had spent her entire NXT career unable to suppress her awe at competing in WWE even while she ostensibly chased a championship.

All they wanted was to see The Freebirds get their comeuppance. While gimmick matches can be used to disguise weak selling and bad storytelling, that was not the case here.

This match was iconic before the bell even rang, because on a deeper level it represented two schools of pro wrestling. Perfect. It was back and forth the whole way, and one of the best matches I've had in my career. Shawn Michaels, before his 1998 injury, was one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time. And as vicious a moment as that was, the rest of the iconic contest proved just as volatile. Undertaker would not be denied, as he continued his assault on Michaels on top of the cage, even knocking The Heartbreak Kid off the structure, in what was at that point the biggest bump in WWE history. The insane match between Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka was one of the craziest pro-wrestling displays ever recorded, but in reality, the entire card was stupendous. Don't have WWE Network?

At its best, the Rumble is one cohesive story made up of several smaller stories that not only manages to entertain fans for more than an hour, but also elevate all 30 men involved. He can do all the pro wrestling stuff you want, but can also do the other stuff, and thats what was so much fun for him and I mixing and matching the two. While CM Punk was wrestling some of the best matches of his career, Lesnar was in a bit of a rut, having lost to John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012 (in an awesome match that was this close to making our cut), and going 2-1 in a poorly received feud with part-timer Triple H. The mini-CM Punk feud gave Lesnar his mojo back, even if it spelled the beginning of the end of Punk's WWE run. ANTHONY BENIGNO. The Big Red Machine tombstoned The Dead Man, while a broken-down Michaels crawled over Undertaker to steal the win. So when the two decorated Superstars locked up in Seattle at WrestleMania XIX, it was a meeting of similar styles in a bout that became the ace in a stacked deck of a card. Kurt helped me and showed me how I can look like a better wrestler, reversing moves and getting out of holds and things of that nature. It also featured an ending every bit as iconic as Hogan slamming Andre, with Austin's screaming in pain, his face a bloody mess, yet refusing to submit to Hart's Sharpshooter. Yet that's exactly what Bam Bam Bigelow did, setting up this personal slugfest between two of the toughest men in ECW, right in Bam Bam's hometown of Asbury Park, N.J. From the get-go, Tazz and Bam Bam tore into each other like two predators on a National Geographic documentary. Third, there must be a conclusive winner(s), so Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind from Mind Games 1996 and Steve Austin vs. Kurt Angle from SummerSlam 2001 are out. By 2005, Angle had abandoned his dweeby heel persona for a bloodthirsty, one-man wrecking crew willing to do anything to win. In the end, Bryan prevailed, defeating Triple H in what one of the best opening matches in WrestleMania history, and Triple H's last great match before retiring in 2022. Brock Lesnar was the most successful rookie of all time, a 6'3, 290 lbs. Their first meeting resulted in Sting being sidelined with injuries. SHEAMUS, AS TOLD TO JUSTIN LESLIE. "But even I, Bret Harts staunchest supporter, found it hard to not get behind Austin in that match. It's all of the above and so much more. This wasn't just a mindless gore fest. Number nine of the best Wrestlemania matches is the first to involve Shawn Michaels as a competitor, but nowhere near his last. TOM HERRERA, Before he was the most successful @**-whooper in history, Steve Austin was an amazing mat wrestler who could hold his own with anybody in the world, including Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. DAVID SHOEMAKER. "Obviously, the challenge was whether I could top the previous match. Bryan defeated incumbent champion Randy Orton and potential usurper Batista in a bout that and this isnt an exaggeration the WWE Universe willed him to in the first place by way of sheer fan support. The match worked because it highlighted the characteristics that would shoot the competitors to the main event: Dean Ambrose's chaotic frenzy, Seth Rollins and the late Brodie Lee's (Luke Harper) ring general workrate, and Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns' WrestleMania main event-level starpower. It's chemistry that turns great matches into all-time masterpieces. Shawn Michaels is arguably the greatest in-ring performer ever, period. Wrestlemania 19 3. And when the champion finally prevailed despite a spirited effort by the challenger, they embraced as a sign of respect. They needed each other and wrestling wouldnt be what it is today without 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Rock, and this match was the culmination of that." Although Hell in a Cell brought out the very best, and the very worst, in The Cerebral Assassin, The Undertaker ultimately sealed the victory with a Tombstone Piledriver as a weary HBK made the three-count that ended an era. Namely, Guerrero's nuanced character work, which elevated everyone around him, and Lesnar's selling, which managed to make him look vulnerable, even when wrestling a man half his size. When considering the greatest rivals of The Man Called Sting not named Ric Flair, one person comes to mind: Big Van Vader. Early on, I was schooled on putting in time, especially working with Flair. Perhaps there's no greater example in WWE history than Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog at SummerSlam 1992. There's never been a better example of how to make a star than the Bret Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin feud from 1996 to 1997. While Angle entered the match needing neck surgery, it was Lesnar who left the match injured, following his infamous botched shooting star press. MICK FOLEY, AS TOLD TO ZACH LINDER. There was so much reality there, and it was awesome to see how it all played out. Welp, fans certainly swallowed their words a month later when the three put on one of the greatest WrestleMania main events ever and the best triple threat match of all time. The 15-time World Champion, reeling from a loss to The Rock and all but emasculated in the weeks leading into the Lesnar match, tapped into that same well of savagery that allowed him to survive, say, JBL in an "I Quit" Match, and ultimately came out with the win. The animosity between Tully Blanchard and Magnum T.A. For me to be involved in that thing was a great honor, especially with the way Sting was loved by the people, it was crazy. The Human Suplex Machine clotheslined Bigelow through the timekeeper's table, and later T-Bone Tazzplexed him off the entrance ramp and onto the steel guardrail. MICHAEL BURDICK. The match is must-watch just to see the 251-pound Cena break out a hurricanrana. The biggest WrestleMania of all time, with over 93,000 (allegedly) crammed into the Pontiac Silverdome to see one of the most anticipated matches of all time: Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant. MICHAEL BURDICK. Of course, youre going to have some moments where its going to be a low point of the match, but its designed that way so we were going to be able to get them back up later in the match. "After the match, we sat in a room by ourselves and just sat there quietly. His performance here proved he truly was "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.".
