10 Times WWE Was Legitimately The Best Wrestling On The Planet

10. WrestleMania III

Through much of the early '80s, the WWF had trouble establishing itself as the definitive best promotion, having to contend with the well-rooted NWA and AJPW which always had a surplus of talent. With the first WrestleMania's not quite sticking, everything finally came together for one glorious night in Pontiac, Michigan.

There, WWE showed beyond any shadow of a doubt that it could provide spectacle in spades with moments like Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant. The irresistible force met the immovable object and created a visual of the epic grandeur that endured for every generation of wrestling fan. They created the fabled "Wrestle<ania Moment." The thousands in attendance and millions watching at home would end up witnessing a moment only thought to be possible in the fantasy world of comic books and action movies as Hogan body-slammed Andre The Giant.

Aside from that though, true aficionados could witness a masterpiece in Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat, which showed all the technicality and beauty that wrestling could achieve. The two went move for move and created the match that set the bar for execution in wrestling. WrestleMania III even had the presence of the Hart Foundation to elevate it.

By selling out the Pontiac Silverdome, moving from the arena to the arena, WWF forever made the statement that pro-wrestling was a nationwide phenomenon that would be here to stay, then, now, forever.
