10 Lost WrestleMania Moments
3. Ravishing Rick Rude Defeats The Ultimate Warrior (WrestleMania V)
When it comes to rare moments in WWE history, few things can top an Ultimate Warrior loss.
Just like Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior hardly ever lost, but when he did, they were very special moments. Fans remember Hogan's first major pinfall loss at WrestleMania VI, coincidentally to the Ultimate Warrior, but not as many people remember Warrior's first defeat (which also came at WrestleMania).
A year prior to the Ultimate Challenge, Warrior was on the ascent as Intercontinental Champion, defending the title at WrestleMania V against Ravishing Rick Rude. Rude made history by not only handing Warrior his first pinfall defeat, but by beating Warrior for the Intercontinental Championship.
Rude left the company a little over a year later on not-so-friendly terms; Warrior did the same another year later. The combination of these two men's shaky standing with Vince McMahon and WWE over the years is likely a contributing factor as to why this moment doesn't get relived.
Considering that, throughout his WWF career, the Ultimate Warrior only suffered two pinfall defeats, that alone should resurrect this WrestleMania Moment.
