10 WWE Pushes That Were Blatant Apologies

10. Bret Hart Is Rewarded With The WWF Championship After The Hogan Debacle - WrestleMania X

After growing into the sort of babyface, fighting World Champion fans could truly get behind in the lead-up to the 1993 Show of Shows, Bret Hart was shockingly bested by Yokozuna in the main event of WrestleMania IX, only for a recently returning Hulk Hogan to suddenly pop up to check on a screwed Hitman.

He'd then go on to somehow win the WWF Championship and help forge arguably the worst 'Mania ending in the event's history.

So, clearly sensing he needed to make it up to his audience, and Bret, after that absolute debacle in Caesars Palace, Vince McMahon set about rehabilitating his Hitman heading into the following year's tenth Showcase of the Immortals.

Sure enough, by the time WrestleMania X came around, not only had Hart come away with a Royal Rumble victory (alongside Lex Luger), but he'd also been gifted the chance to showcase his brother Owen's brilliance, too, with the pair feuding in the lead-up to the PPV and putting on an absolute classic inside of Madison Square Garden.

McMahon wasn't done there, however. By the time the dust settled on the main event, Bret was once again at the top of the mountain, redeeming that foolish bit of business a year earlier by besting Yokozuna as the ring filled with his proud peers.

You love to see it.
