Bret Hart's WrestleMania X coronation was perhaps the most on-the-nose one-night celebration of a star in company history at the time, but Vince McMahon had much to apologise for after a year in flux for the faithful 'Hitman'.
Held aloft by the babyface locker room and cheered on by Gorilla Monsoon, the raft of celebrities, and Vince McMahon himself, Bret was officially anointed a full year after the audience had already done it for the organisation in spite of Hulk Hogan's return push.
Yokozuna was conclusively vanquished (unlike Lex Luger's brushing aside of the beast), whilst Owen Hart remained as the man that had just beaten The Man in order to set up the summer ahead.
