11 times WWE made history at Madison Square Garden which you might not remember

#5 Hulkamania is born (Jan 23, 1984)

Hulkamania ran wild for several years

It was an important day that would change the face of professional wrestling forever. There were reportedly 30,000 fans present at MSG that night to see Hulk Hogan face Iron Sheik.

It is a moment that lives in wrestling history.

Hulk Hogan was able to escape the Camel Clutch of the Sheik, something that was not at all common. What followed next saw Hulk Hogan use his iconic leg drop on Iron Sheik to get him the pinfall. This saw him become the WWF Champion and after the switch, McMahon realized that he had found the man that he would depend on.

He continued to rely on Hulk Hogan to be a draw for more than a decade and beyond that as well.

#4 Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero (WrestleMania XX)

Eddie Guerrero

While this moment has been marred due to the facts of Chris Benoit’s passing, it remains one of the most heart-warming (or possibly heart-breaking) moments in the history of professional wrestling.

Given that WWE rarely awarded titles to Superstars who did not have the physique that the typical main eventer had, both Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero being the World Heavyweight and the WWE Champion at this point was an incredible deal. The two friends celebrated their win together in one of the most emotional moments in the history of WrestleMania to close out the show.
