50 Must-See WrestleMania Matches

50. Ultimate Warrior vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley €“ WrestleMania 12

This match is significant for a couple reasons, neither of which is the Ultimate Warrior no-selling a Pedigree. WrestleMania 12 marked Warrior€™s last hurrah in WWF/E for nearly two decades. This was the start of Vince McMahon€™s final attempt to recapture Warrior€™s immense popularity. Four months later, the experiment would end, and Warrior would not be seen in the WWE again until his Hall of Fame induction 18 years later in 2014. This match also was Helmsley€™s first WrestleMania bout, having joined WWF just after Mania in 1995. Despite being squashed, Hunter would go on four years later to become the first heel to win a main event at WrestleMania 2000 (16).
