1. The Staredown
Well. This picture is, far and away, the most iconic wrestling photo ever taken. It depicts the wrestling Main Event at Wrestlemania III, which was the wrestling event of the 80's. Not only did it put the WWE on the map as a massive company, but it signified a changing of the guard from the older generation, represented by Andre the Giant, to the new generation, represented by Hulk Hogan. Hogan hulked up, toppled Andre with an incredible body slam, and followed that with a classic Leg Drop. Nothing was the same, ever again. Did we miss the perfect shot of the perfect WWE moment? Let us know in the comments!
