10 WWE Shows That Should Have Been Season Finales
9. WrestleMania VI
The universe exploded at WrestleMania VI.
Not the WWE Universe, by the way, though every fan in attendance and watching at home lost control of their collective facilities watching "The Ultimate Challenge" between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior. No, the actual universe, as explained by Vince McMahon in an incredible show-opening that compared the two Champions in size and scale to that of the constellations.
As hyperbolic as it all might have been, it was far from the biggest load of bullsh*t McMahon had ever spouted. They were enormous men with enormous bodies in a match with enormous stakes. There'd never been another to hold both the Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championship, and never been a time where two contenders looked so viable in the role. This was so big you simply had to pay for it.
The match - presumably to some relief behind the scenes - delivered what it promised too. Warrior held both titles aloft after Hogan had carefully stolen most of his thunder, but only those in the Toronto SkyDome had time to bask in his glory.
'The Hulkster' was written off thanks to an attack by Earthquake almost immediately after the show, but his grandstanding on the night and lingering Poochie presence after the fact helped strangle Warrior's reign from the off.
At WrestleMania, the pair tore the world apart. A pause to put it back together would have been welcome.
