The No Mas Top 23 Wrestlemania Moments
All right people, lot of countdowns on No Mas of late, but let's take it back to the real deal, as the Franchise gets into his top ten of all-time Wrestlemania moments. Today we're going from #9 to #6. Click here for #13-10, here for #23-19, and here for #18-14. And away we go...#9: Sibling Rivalry
Wrestlemania X – Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
March 24, 1990
The Match: Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart
The Moment: Bret Hart actually wrestled twice at WM X (he defeated Yokozuna to capture the WWF title) but it’s his match against his late brother Owen that everyone will remember. The build to this match was unforgettable and by the time the reluctant brother, Bret, stepped into the ring with his jealous brother, Owen, no one knew what to expect. In the end, Owen came out on top but I cant help but feel a little sad when I think back on this match that featured two men who had their careers cut way too short.

#8: Climbing the Ladder
Wrestlemania X – Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
March 24, 1990
The Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (c)
The Moment: This match is widely considered as the genesis to all the amazing ladder matches of the next decade. The moves these guys pulled off were definitely the first of their kind.

#7: A Rattlesnake is Born
Wrestlemania 13 – Rosemont Horizon, Chicago, IL
March 23, 1991
The Match: Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Moment: It’s not often that the loser of a match comes out looking stronger than the victor but that’s exactly what happened when Hart and Austin battled in a submission match at WM 13. The WWF pulled the old switcheroo by turning Hart heel and Austin babyface in one simple moment of defiance.

#6: The Boyhood Dream…
Wrestlemania XII – Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, CA
March 31, 1996
The Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Bret “The Hitman” Hart (c)
The Moment: Alright, now we are getting into the “arguably the greatest match in Wrestlemania history” territory. Exhibit A: Bret vs. Shawn. Ironman match. Some doubted whether they could hold the crowd’s attention for 60 minutes. Did they ever…and then some.

Bret was the greatest. My all time favorite.
We think a like UM...I feel compelled to say that he is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
Although after watching his DVD that WWE put out a couple of years ago I kind of soured on him. Granted, he's had a rough couple of years but he came off as really self-centered.
His DVD was terrible....Like I need to some him in his home gym acting like the best dad of all time, or running next to the Saddledome.....He was a great wrestler, but a little bit of a silver-spooned spoiled brat....
Damn...that was a little harsh towards the pink and black. I disagree with the silver-spoon comment. Before putting the belt on Hart, Vinny Mac never had faith in wrestlers with his size. He started off as tag-team specialist and worked his way all the way up the ladder.
