The 30th annual Showcase of the Immortals wrapped just a little over a week ago, and since that time it has been receiving mostly high praise. It's been lauded for the rise of Daniel Bryan. It provided us with the absolute shock of the Undertaker's streak coming to an end. And most importantly it seems to have been the launching pad for a whole new era of WWE programming and storytelling. Some folks have even praised the event as being one of the greatest in history. Now, that's all well and good, because WrestleMania XXX was fantastic. However, there is only one Mania that can truly be called the greatest, and perhaps surprisingly, it only took six years to reach that pinnacle. On April Fools' Day 1990 in the Toronto SkyDome, history was made in the world of sports-entertainment. It was a day -- much like April 6th, 2014 -- of new beginnings and shocking finalities. At WrestleMania VI, fans witnessed a jam packed card featuring the first-ever mixed tag match, the end of a long-running streak, an inarguable legend's final in-ring appearance, and the crowning of a new champion. And while all of that makes for a great WrestleMania, it doesn't necessarily make for the greatest of all time. However, there's more to the sixth edition of Mania than just exciting and historic matches. Find out what exactly makes WrestleMania VI the greatest of them all...
