The ending scene of WrestleMania 10 is notable for Hart being hoisted onto the shoulders of Luger and Ramon, while the likes of Savage, Roddy Piper, Gorilla Monsoon, Vince himself, among a throng of others, entered the ring to congratulate him. Hart would later say that it was The Macho Man's idea to have this type of coronation, where Hart would be held up in reverence as the king of WWE's New Generation.

It makes sense, given how Hart's apparent WrestleMania headliner moment was usurped a year earlier in some political game with McMahon and Hogan. It was vital to show the WWE audience who the real lead dog was supposed to be, that there would be no going to the Hogan well any more. Besides, Savage always respected "The Hitman", and was more than happy to do anything to put his trusted friend over, by whatever means.
