10 Best Ever WWE WrestleMania Entrances

7. Andre The Giant And Bobby Heenan (WrestleMania III)

Dressed down, stoic and yet absolutely f*cking massive, Andre The Giant's WrestleMania III entrance was everything the man himself represented in his iconic rivalry with Hulk Hogan. Cunning manager Bobby Heenan had got into the head of the gentle giant to trigger a turn on 'The Hulkster' in the first place, explaining why he was dressed to the nines for a moment he secretly wanted and needed more than Andre himself.

The legendary monster was ostensibly emotionless as the motorised cart pootled towards the ring at pace with the pair in tow, bathed as they were in a singular tunnel of light that served more to separate them from an enormous and blackened crowd.

All trousers, tails and shimmering epaulettes, Heenan was a ringmaster, manipulating an uncaged animal for personal gain in this one-ring circus long before the beast cottoned on to the abuse. Fooled into thinking it was all about him, Andre was already sharing the spotlight.
