Top 10 Intercontinental Title matches in  WrestleMania History

#3 Champ Ultimate Warrior def. WWF Champ Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania VI, 1990)

Hulk Hogan hits a clothesline on the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI

This is a historically significant match because it was supposed to be a passing-of-the-torch moment with Hogan giving Warrior the keys to the castle. It was also a title vs. title match, with both Hogan’s WWF Championship and Warrior’s Intercontinental Championship on the line.

The match was good, among the better matches in both men's careers. The atmosphere in the Skydome in Toronto was amazing and the crowd noise was off the charts. You think Rock/Hogan 12 years later in the same building got a huge response? Watch this one. I was considering putting this match at number 2 on the list due to the history, but upon further thought, this match isn’t as historically significant as you’d expect.

This wasn’t actually a passing of the torch moment, as Warrior was unable to hold the ball, and never truly became the face of the company and the guy that Vince McMahon was looking for to replace Hogan with when his time was over. Hogan would continue to hog the spotlight for a few more years, in and out of the WWF Title picture.

Warrior vacated the title after winning this match, allowing Mr. Perfect to win his first title in the WWF later that month. This was essentially the peak of Ultimate Warrior’s career, although he would stay with the WWF for a couple more years in a featured role and had a few matches that were far better than this one. The match is remembered well, by myself included, and deserves a spot in the top 3. It’s also the only time the IC Title was defended in the main event of WrestleMania.
