WrestleMania is a show that has transcended generations, broken barriers and has turned into a global phenomenon that attracts fans from more than 60 nations every year. Fans from all over the world flock every year to marvel at the pageantry that the WWE presents at the grandest stage of them all! The show of shows has become a week-long festival that includes fan fests, meet ups with the wrestlers, the Hall of Fame ceremony and the RAW after WrestleMania.
The extravaganza used to be four hours in length in the past, but that's not the case anymore. A typical modern day WrestleMania lasts anywhere from 6 to 8 hours, including the pre-show. And even after going through all of this, there's a lot of material that fans don't get to see during the original broadcast. Here are three of the most memorable backstage moments from recent WrestleManias, that weren't originally aired but are must see for every member of the WWE Universe.
#3 Three of the very best, hanging out backstage
Wrestlemania 30 is considered to be one of the greatest events of all time, with the Yes movement coming to it's conclusion and Brock Lesnar breaking the Undertaker's undefeated streak. Moreover, we saw the first ever Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which was won by Cesaro as he gave everything he had to bodyslam The Bigshow out of the ring,
Another moment that's etched in the fans' memories is when three of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, shared the ring together. The Rock, Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan opened the show to one of the biggest pops of all time! But what happened minutes before this epic confrontation? How was the mood backstage just moments before this iconic moment emanated? Take a look:
#2 Brock Lesnar confronts The Undertaker before his match with Bray Wyatt
Brock Lesnar is known for being a no-nonsense individual who keeps to himself most of the time. This isn't always the case though.
Exactly a year after breaking The Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania 30, Brock faced Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 31, while the Deadman went toe to toe with the Eater of the World's, Bray Wyatt. This was the very first time the fans were going to see The Undertaker, ever since he left the Superdome in an ambulance after losing his coveted streak at the hands of Lesnar. Emotions were running high as he prepared to finally face the sea of humanity after being in seclusion for a year.
Moments before his match, The Undertaker came face to face with the Beast, in a rare clip that is bound to make Lesnar's naysayers rethink their stance on the former UFC champion.
#1 An emotional Shane Mcmahon, moments after surviving Hell in a Cell
Shane's return is considered to be one of the most shocking moments of 2016. Even more shocking was the fact that his dad, Vince Mcmahon, pitted him against The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match at the show of shows. A lot was on the line as a win against the Undertaker would result in Shane getting the control of Monday Night Raw.
What followed was a 30 minute brawl that saw Shane take the Leap of Faith, from atop the cell, and fall with full force on the announcer's table in one of the most harrowing moments in Wrestlemania history. It reminded the fans of that incredibly disturbing visual of Mankind falling off the top of the cell, back in 1999.
The Undertaker eventually won the match, but what happened backstage later was something we rarely see: An emotional visual of Vince Mcmahon in tears.
