WrestleMania XII

1. Vader, Owen Hart, and British Bulldog defeated Jake Roberts, Yokozuna, and Ahmed Johnson by pinfall

This was a fun opener that did it's job at getting the crowd involved. Plus, the right team went over and it left things open for feuds between all six men.

Rating: 2.75

2. Steve Austin defeated Savio Vega by pinfall

This was a solid match that was unfortunately held back by the Piper/Goldust story. These two gave a good effort despite that.

Rating: 2.75

3. Ultimate Warrior defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley by pinfall

This match really hurt that Helmsley fellow's career, huh?

Rating: .25

4. Undertaker defeated Diesel by pinfall

This was a pretty darn good big man match. This was also Undertaker's first real quality opponent at WrestleMania. It's a shame Nash left after this because he was really gaining momentum as a heel.

Rating: 3

5. Roddy Piper and Goldust fought in a Hollywood Backlot Brawl

This wasn't really a match, so I can't rate it, but the actually brawling was somewhere in the middle. The whole OJ stuff was pretty lame, though.

Rating: N/R

6. Shawn Michaels defeated Bret Hart by pinfall to win the WWF Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This is one of the most legendary matches of all time and for good reason. In my opinion, these are the two greatest wrestlers I have ever seen and they prove that here. Awesome, awesome stuff.

Rating: 4.25

No one ever seems to consider this as one of the better WrestleMania's. For my money, it's a pretty solid show. It features one of my favorite WrestleMania matches of all time and a solid undercard. You can't go wrong with that.

Overall Rating: 84%
