Good opening matches in WrestleMania history are somewhat few and far between. The battle of the Hart brothers is often regarded as the finest, a 20-minute technical classic between two of the best workers in the company.

The Hitman would ultimately triumph, however, avenging his WrestleMania IX loss to Yokozuna by defeating the big man in a cathartic main event for the WWF Championship.
