Held aloft by the babyface locker room and cheered on by Gorilla Monsoon, the raft of celebrities, and Vince McMahon himself after his main event win over Yokozuna, Bret Hart was officially anointed as the company's top star a full year after the audience had already made the decision for them.

Bret Hart's WrestleMania X coronation was perhaps the most on-the-nose one-night celebration of a star in company history at the time, but it was overdue after what had happened to him at the last 'Show Of Shows'. More on that later, but it's worth noting here that both Champion and Challenger had already worked 14 and 20 minutes against Lex Luger and Owen Hart respectively and were thus deserving of a relatively tight time here.

It wasn't as though they couldn't tell a great story anyway - Yokozuna was conclusively vanquished by Bret at the end whilst Owen Hart was immediately lined up as a Number One contender for the lean months ahead.
