4. WrestleMania VI
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3i871_wm6-pt1_news Billed as the 'Ultimate Challenge', the main event of WrestleMania VI was viewed as the biggest in history up to that point. The Ultimate Warrior was putting his Intercontinental Title on the line, and Hulk Hogan was placing the WWF Heavyweight Title right there with it. The winner would hoist both belts above his head, and the stakes simply couldn't have been bigger. Vince McMahon's corny delivery during the event's introduction was flawless, and exactly what 'Mania VI needed. Based around the idea that Hogan vs. Warrior was a battle between two of the most powerful forces in the galaxy, McMahon went into hyperbole overload with his voiceover. The result was an iconic intro video, one that's often still quoted by fans who remember it. WrestleMania VI needed something akin to this, because it was a legitimately massive event for the company. The WWF were looking to position Warrior as the new focal point of the promotion, and the barmy hype video fit in with his over-the-top persona nicely.
