5 Biggest WWE Championship Changes In WrestleMania History

2. The Ultimate Warrior Defeats Hulk Hogan - WrestleMania 6

This match was truly groundbreaking for its time, and I imagine most 10 year old fans were confused on who they should cheer for. Wrestling used to tell the story of the good guy (babyface) fighting the bad guy (heel), in its most simple form. This match was the first to pin good guy versus good guy, and to magnify that, it took place as the main event at WWE's biggest yearly pay-per-view. Today's wrestling has changed in part to this match, as it's not always about good versus bad, but rather the story they tell. Another unique aspect to this match was that they were both champions, with Warrior holding the Intercontinental Title and Hogan holding the WWE Title. Back then, each champion would defend their title on the pay-per-views. All back stories aside, this is the first match that we would ever witness someone kick out of Hogan's finisher the leg drop. Whenever Hogan would hit you with the boot to the face, he would follow that up with his big leg drop, and of course the 1-2-3 pin fall would follow. On this night, Warrior kicked out of the finisher and eventually pinned the Immortal One. After the match, we would see Hogan being a good sport and handing his title to Warrior, and raising his hand in victory. At the time, Hogan didn't lose matches, but to lose cleanly in the middle of the ring was amazing. This was Hogan's way of passing the torch to this young star, just the same as Andre The Giant allowed Hogan to pin him at WrestleMania 3.
