30 Best Performers In WrestleMania History
8. The Rock (6-5)
No, the Rock
did not main-event every WrestleMania in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it
was damn close. The People’s Champion was arguably the biggest star in the
company in the early 2000s, and as such, he enjoyed top-flight matches at
WrestleMania each year.
Rock would main-event WrestleManias XV, 2000 and X-Seven – three Manias in a row, two of which involved “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Rock also had a memorable Intercontinental Championship victory over Ken Shamrock at XIV and defeated Hollywood Hulk Hogan at Mania X-8.
The Great One would return in 2012 to main event two more WrestleManias (XXVII and XXIX), both against John Cena. And then there was his impromptu “match” against Erick Rowan at XXXII last year, when he set a record with a six-second victory.
Even if he lost all 10 Mania matches, the fact that he has closed out six WrestleManias would land the Rock very high on this list.
