WrestleMania betting is becoming increasingly popular, catching up to other popular events. However, if you are truly wondering what the greatest wrestling matches of all time actually are, don’t move anywhere and make sure to continue reading.

The Rock vs Hulk Hogan: WrestleMania (2002)

Hogan was at the age of 48 years old, when he went into the Tokyo Skydome for the first time ever in a single confrontation. Facing the Rock, who was at this time a huge superstar, was certainly quite BIG news. The Rock was known as the most impressive grappler and for that reason, it was fully expected for the Rock to finish Hulk Hogan and the flickering flame he possessed.

As this match unfolded critics did mention how the energy and fighting relationship was certainly unmatched for the times. Being that the Rock had lured out Hogan after 10 years back into WWE, the fans loved it and fed off the immense energy that this match brought. Hulk did manage to gain the sympathy vote from the fans, to which a great storyline flowed. Nevertheless, it did not stop The Rock in landing some serious hits and the final Smackdown to finish it. All fans in attendance spoke of how amazing this match was, and all for good reason really.

Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant: WrestleMania (1987)

Next on the list, we have Hulk Hogan once again (surprise, surprise), Andre the Giant, and a crowd with 93,000 people watching. The fight occurred at the Pontiac Silverdome, we saw two good friends pitted against one another that ultimately became super bitter, when it came to attaining the heavyweight championship.

Many called this fight the battle of David and Goliath, and it is one that will forever be remembered for the body slams and quality of pro wrestling. It is believed that at the time Andre did in fact suffer from certain health issues which affected the way he would grapple, yet that definitely did not stop him from achieving body weight attacks, and ‘rub’ the Hulkamania moves off. This match has impacted the way many matches commence even today. In fact, so many Wrestlemania wannabes always refer back to this as inspiration. Who wouldn’t? Even 30 years later there has most definitely been none better than what we witnessed here.

Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker: Wrestlemania (2010)

When we look back on other memorable matches, we have here the Shawn Michaels versus Undertaker fight. Michaels did put his WWE career on the line to participate in this fight, all with the effort of having another opportunity to beat the undertaker within Phoenix Arizona. The rematch which saw Michaels bring out a fast and impeccable office, unfortunately did face multiple near falls instead.

We see the Undertaker bringing out his famous super kicks, to which it was three of his very own super moves which allowed him to nail the coffin door shut for the last time on Shawn Michaels. This did see the end to Michaels wrestling career moving forward, however it was certainly a memorable one at that to call it quits.

Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin: Wrestlemania (1997)

Last but not least, we have Bret Hart and Steve Austin. This fight saw the biggest plundering of Monday Night Ratings, due the fact that WCW was pitted head to head against WWE. If it wasn’t for the after-show critics which evaluate and discuss fights fondly, this fight would have definitely been forgotten. Nevertheless, this match saw the greatest war and lesson from submission we have ever seen within the WWE. The Hitman and Stone Cold put up a memorable fight, with Stone Cold establishing a level of intense fighting that made fans question whether in fact it was real or acting. The realism you will get from re-watching this fight is like no other, be it the activity out of the ring, to the head locks Bret Hart managed to land against his opponent. One word here really, brutal.

This was the fight that Hart managed to punish Stone Cold once and for all, and of course, make great entertaining TV for those many decades after. We still go back to watching it even now!
