10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 6 Facts

8. It Was Andre The Giant's Last Televised Match In WWE

At 43 and long since past his physical peak, Andre was near the end of the line as a performer. His last televised match with WWE took place in the second match of WrestleMania 6, where he and Haku dropped the Tag Team Championship to Demolition. Aside from a couple untelevised matches on international tours here and there over the following year, Andre never wrestled for the company again.

Fitting that his WWE curtain call saw him leave as a beloved hero, after tiring of Bobby Heenan's verbal abuse. Hearing Andre receive a standing ovation as he left on the motorized ring cart is one of the more underrated moments in WWE history, a moment of appreciation for an undoubted icon.
