10 shocking backstage stories from Wrestlemania you didn't know about

#8 Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior appear to bury the hatchet at WM 30

A timely reunion

Wrestlemania 30 was always going to be a special night for the WWE. In such a landmark event it was mightily important that old superstars from the past were given their 15 minutes in the spotlight.

Not only was Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock brought in to open up the show, but they were also joined by Hulk Hogan, the man that had helped create the spectacle that is Wrestlemania in the first place.

Another big-time name from the past brought in around this time was the Ultimate Warrior. Warrior was to be inducted into the 2014 Hall of Fame class after years of legal disputes and personal grievances that had left his relationship with the McMahons all but shattered. The return was timely, considering Warrior lost his life a few days following the event.

One story that has since emerged from Wrestlemania 30 was that Hogan and Warrior were initially told to stay away from each other backstage. The two had experienced a highly troubled relationship over the years and it was not certain how the pair would behave should they come face to face with each other.

Luckily, when the two did eventually meet, supposedly by accident, things went by without any animosity at all. In fact, there exists video footage of the Wrestlemania 6 opponents engaged in conversation, perhaps an indication that just before Warrior's death he was able to make peace with the man who he once considered his greatest enemy.
