The ending to WrestleMania IX was a pretty unique one. The main event featured Bret Hart and Yokozuna battling it out for the WWE Championship. Yoko won and became the youngest WWE Champion in history at the time.

Not only did a heel win the main event, but he won it in typical heel fashion. Yokozuna's manager, Mr Fuji, threw salt into the eyes of The Hitman thus handing his client the win. That wasn't all she wrote though.

The biggest babyface in WWE history, Hulk Hogan, was not too happy about Yokozuna and Mr Fuji's antics.The Hulkster came to the ring and demanded a title match, which was granted. So a heel may have won initially but there was still a good guy leaving WrestleMania with the WWE Championship that year.
