WrestleMania 13 had already taken its place in wrestling history when The Undertaker emerged for his main event WWE Title match against Sycho Sid.

Nothing was capable of topping Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin's transcendent 'I Quit' bloodbath, but 'The Deadman' and Sid were never put in the position to. It would however be a rightful and fitting crowning of an industry icon and company mainstay who represented a stayed and steady rock in the choppy waters of a business experiencing unprecedented tumult.

As if to further represent his loyalty, longevity and dedication to the cause, The Undertaker adorned the very threads he'd worn when he last lifted the title at November 1991's Survivor Series pay-per-view.

Having traded the grey gloves for purple, then his entire ensemble for leather and/or linen numbers, a one-night return to his original 'Man From The Darkside' veneer added much to the hugely rewarding show-closing visual.
