6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE WrestleMania IX
2. Excellence Of Execution
...we'd most likely been have determined as he was to make this match prove Vince McMahon's maniacal decision-making wrong.
Faced with the ample a*se of Yokozuna, 'The Hitman' worked his own off in his first WrestleMania Championship clash, concluding an enjoyable first tenure with the title pridefully, rather than by sporting the biggest boo-boo face of all time.
The pay-per-view may have been hijacked by Hulk Hogan, but the two assembled an effort that justified their worth as the show's true headliners. Bret in particular did the sort of heavy-lifting that had earned him the prize in the first place. Critics of the 'Excellence Of Execution' cite his seriousness about the industry as a knock against his legacy, but it took such dedication to pull of something so solid in the face of the sh*ttiest circumstances imaginable.
