WWF. Date: March 23, 1997.

Venue: Rosemont Horizon. Rosemont, Illinois.

Attendance: 18,197.

WrestleMania 13 is often touted as one of the more forgettable editions of ‘Mania, but it marked the WrestleMania-debut of one of the greatest box-office attractions of all time, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who defended his WWF Intercontinental Championship against The Sultan.

HHH (Hunter Hearst Helmsley) was accompanied by Chyna as he scored a win over Goldust (w/Marlena) in a singles match.

WM 13 featured one of the greatest professional wrestling matches of all time, with Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart defeating ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin in a submission match, with Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) legend Ken Shamrock acting as the special guest referee.

Although WrestleMania 14 is credited as the start of the Attitude Era, its foundation was laid by the aforementioned matchup between Steve Austin and Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13.

The main-event of the evening saw The Undertaker dethrone Psycho Sid for the WWF Championship in a ‘No Disqualification’ match.
