A Hall of Famer with decades of experience, many were shocked by the fact that Lawler had never competed at WrestleMania, until he got his shot in 2011.

After squabbling with fellow commentator Michael Cole for months, including a moment where Cole brought up Lawler's recently deceased mother, the two were set for a match at the biggest show of them all.

From the get-go, Lawler dominated the contest, egged on by guest referee Stone Cold Steve Austin, before forcing Cole to tap out.

A feel-good moment, the win was short-lived as the Anonymous RAW GM claimed Austin had been biased, and reversed the decision, leaving every fan in Atlanta that night angry and perplexed.
