WrestleMania 10:
WWF. Date: March 20, 1994.
Venue: Madison Square Garden. New York City, New York.
Attendance: 18,065.
WrestleMania 10 was a turning point for the WWE (then-WWF) in more ways than one, with the organisation’s longtime face Hulk Hogan absent for the first time from WWF’s WrestleMania PPV. Besides, WM 10 was one of only 2 ‘Manias post-1991 to not feature The Undertaker, as the Deadman was out due to injury.
The event saw the most legendary ladder match of all time when Razor Ramon fought tooth-and-nail for the WWF Intercontinental title against ‘Mr Wrestlemania’ himself, Shawn Michaels. Besides, Randy Savage settled his rivalry with Crush by scoring yet another victory on the grandest stage of them all.
The WWF Heavyweight Champion Yokozuna defended his title against Lex Luger, winning by DQ after Luger shoved the referee. Later the same night, Bret Hart collided with Yokozuna, beating the behemoth 1-2-3.
The Hitman’s post-match celebration was indicative of the WWF’s intentions i.e., making Hart the new face of the company after Hogan’s departure in 1993.
The next time we meet, we’ll check out a few forgotten Mania moments in photographs (WM 11-20). Stay tuned folks!
