The Undertaker was WWE\u2019s general for decades. He was the leader of the company, and it was reflected in his perfect WrestleMania record. A record that was a perfect 20-0 before he walked into the Super Dome.<\/p>\n
The Streak was WWE\u2019s last great record. It was something that defined The Undertaker’s late career and was a massive selling point for WrestleMania. Many tried to topple the record, and all fell at the hands of The Deadman. The Streak was something that should never have been broken, and when Brock Lesnar accomplished that, our hearts broke. The fans’ expression told the entire story when WWE tarnished a legend’s legacy.<\/p>\n
Warmed Our Hearts \u2013 Randy Savage and Elizabeth Reunite <\/strong><\/h2>\nRandy Savage and Miss Elizabeth were WWE\u2019s power couple for years. Their star power was incredible, and it was only through pure jealousy that their relationship ended. For years afterwards, they were kept apart in WWE programming, and the audience began to forget the allure of their partnership. That is, until WrestleMania 7.<\/p>\n
After losing his Retirement Match, Savage was in the midst of a brutal beatdown from his former valet, Queen Sherri. A beatdown that drew Miss Elizabeth out of the audience and into the ring to aid her former partner. In a moment of pure joy, the Macho Man realized who had come to his aid, and the world witnessed the sweetest of embraces. The couple of the Golden Era had finally gotten back together, and there wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the arena.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Broke Our Hearts \u2013 The Rated-R Superstar Retires <\/strong><\/h2>\nEdge was one of WWE\u2019s best. His longevity was astounding, and he built a resume that rivalled any great wrestler that came before him. He collected championships at a rate that no one can match, and after years of being a great heel, he finally got the babyface respect that he deserved. Edge had reached the apex of World Wrestling Entertainment.<\/p>\n
After a successful WrestleMania title defense, the world expected a regular championship promo from Edge. What we got was a gut punch when he told the world that he had to retire. An injury he had been dealing with had become too much, and he was no longer able to wrestle. Hearing that a career is over is always a heartbreaking thing, but to hear it happen in this manner was too much.<\/p>\n
Warmed Our Hearts \u2013 Mick Foley Wins The WWE Championship <\/strong><\/h2>\nMick Foley was the ultimate journeyman. He was a man who was told that wrestling was not for him and had to go to extreme lengths to get himself into the dance. When he broke into wrestling, he filled the niche character role and was never one earmarked for a World Championship run. It was an accolade that was never going to be realized for Mick Foley.<\/p>\n
In a move that turned the tide of the Monday Night Wars, Mankind emerged victorious over The Rock, claiming his first WWE Championship. It was a moment in time that meant the world to everyone. The man who was told he would never become champion, a man who was a huge fan favourite, finally won the big one. For one night, he achieved the dream of everyone who has been told they can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Broke Our Hearts \u2013 Shawn Michaels Retires Ric Flair <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe wrestling world knew that Ric Flair’s career was coming to an end. His age had put a time limit on his in-ring capability, and when it was announced that every match he competed in during his career would be on the line, it put the writing on the wall. So, he was slated to face Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania; we knew that would be Ric Flair\u2019s swan song.<\/p>\n
Even though we knew it was over, it still didn\u2019t make it any easier to stomach. The visual of Ric Flair in tears and HBK prepared to superkick the Nature Boy was as emotional as any. There was not a dry eye in Orlando as we witnessed the end of Ric Flair’s career.<\/p>\n
Warmed Our Hearts \u2013 Daniel Bryan Wins The WWE Championship <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Yes Movement was a testament to the power of the WWE Universe. Daniel Bryan was beloved by all, but didn\u2019t fit the mold of what the office wanted in its top stars. \u00a0The powers that be were very vocal about the fact that Daniel Bryan would never reach the heights that we all wanted him to. And they stopped at nothing to make sure that he wouldn\u2019t rise above.<\/p>\n
Against all odds, and with the help of a fan-inspired takeover, Daniel Bryan tapped out Batista to close WrestleMania as the WWE Champion. It was a massive moment for everyone as it was a victory not just for Bryan but for all of us. The WWE fans’ support turned the tide of Daniel Bryan\u2019s career, and we got to see a man who was never going to break the glass ceiling smash through it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Broke Our Hearts \u2013 Cody Rhodes Doesn\u2019t Finish His Story <\/strong><\/h2>\nRoman Reigns\u2019 run with WWE\u2019s top prize was an impressive feat, but as we inched closer to WrestleMania 39, it seemed to be over. Cody Rhodes had emerged as the company’s new top star, and after his Royal Rumble victory, it seemed assured that he would be leaving WrestleMania as the new World Champion. It would have been a fitting end to Reign\u2019s iconic run and a great introduction for Cody Rhodes to the main event.<\/p>\n![\"Cody](\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/03\/nm2clhy9unvc1rkhvp30-1024x539.jpg\")
Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe world wanted to see Cody Rhodes win his first WWE Championship and finish the story that he started years before. After a gruelling match, Rhodes had vanquished all obstacles before him and looked primed to win the strap. That was before Solo Sikoa broke our hearts and cost Cody Rhodes the championship. We all thought the story was finished, but WWE had other plans. Rhode\u2019s expression after the match mirrored what we all felt.<\/p>\n
Warmed Out Hearts \u2013 The Hitman and Heartbreak Kid Bury The Hatchet <\/strong><\/h2>\nIn terms of personal rivalry, none has been more intense than Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. They were rivals on screen, but their hatred of one another behind the scenes has been well documented. Everyone has heard the stories, and of course, the events surrounding the Montreal Screw job sent their personal problems to another level. Hart and Michaels had a hatred that no one ever thought would be mended.<\/p>\n
When Bret Hart finally returned to WWE, we waited with bated breath to see what would happen. It was a question that was soon answered when they came face to face in the ring. After what seemed like an eternity, the two men embraced, effectively burying the hatchet. It was a beautiful moment that taught us that even the most broken fences can be mended.<\/p>\n

Roman Reigns\u2019 run with WWE\u2019s top prize was an impressive feat, but as we inched closer to WrestleMania 39, it seemed to be over. Cody Rhodes had emerged as the company’s new top star, and after his Royal Rumble victory, it seemed assured that he would be leaving WrestleMania as the new World Champion. It would have been a fitting end to Reign\u2019s iconic run and a great introduction for Cody Rhodes to the main event.<\/p>\n The world wanted to see Cody Rhodes win his first WWE Championship and finish the story that he started years before. After a gruelling match, Rhodes had vanquished all obstacles before him and looked primed to win the strap. That was before Solo Sikoa broke our hearts and cost Cody Rhodes the championship. We all thought the story was finished, but WWE had other plans. Rhode\u2019s expression after the match mirrored what we all felt.<\/p>\n In terms of personal rivalry, none has been more intense than Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. They were rivals on screen, but their hatred of one another behind the scenes has been well documented. Everyone has heard the stories, and of course, the events surrounding the Montreal Screw job sent their personal problems to another level. Hart and Michaels had a hatred that no one ever thought would be mended.<\/p>\n When Bret Hart finally returned to WWE, we waited with bated breath to see what would happen. It was a question that was soon answered when they came face to face in the ring. After what seemed like an eternity, the two men embraced, effectively burying the hatchet. It was a beautiful moment that taught us that even the most broken fences can be mended.<\/p>\n More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong> Header photo \u2013\u00a0<\/span>WikiMedia Creative Commons<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/em>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
