10. The Ultimate Warrior Granted The First Use Of Pyro - WrestleMania 6

The pyro department of WWE seems to get bigger and better each year. Every time there€™s a wrestler with a flashy entrance, or a big moment just occurred on one of the major events, pyro gets used to make the moment even more memorable. One of the first times that WWE decided to use pyro in order to make a historic moment last forever in the eyes of millions was shortly after The Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania VI. As Warrior held up his two titles, pyro blasted from inside the ring and a W shaped sign emitted gigantic sparks in honor of the big win. It was a grandiose celebration for a wrestler who lived larger than life. There are some earlier moments in other promotions where pyro was used to show off the wrestlers. At Starrcade 1989, both Ric Flair and Lex Luger had pyro in their entrances as they both went to face each other as part of an Iron Man tournament. But as a means of solidifying a wrestler€™s status as being the top guy of the company, Warrior€™s WrestleMania pyro is worthy enough of being considered the first of its kind.
