Similarly, another WWF/E giant also is more well-known for his role at WrestleMania than his record. Andre the Giant competed in the very first Mania (a $15,000 bodyslam challenge against Big John Studd) and also won a battle royal at WrestleMania II. That would be his last win at Mania, but Andres biggest role was yet to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPQ-Tq5oMc At WrestleMania III, Andre battled Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship in what was (and still is) the biggest match in Mania (and likely wrestling) history. Although he lost, Andres role in that match vaults him up the list of performers. He closed out his Mania career with matches that slid down the card, though he entered WrestleMania VI as one-half of the WWF Tag Team Champions.

He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
