5 WrestleMania matches that told a compelling story

#2 Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon - WrestleMania XIX

Hogan and McMahon had real-life heat stemming from the steroid trial in the early 90's

On paper, McMahon-Hogan did not seem like it would be a classic, however, it told a compelling story.

The match was dubbed '20 Years in the Making' and lived up to its billing. It centered around the real-life heat between McMahon and Hogan going back to the early 90's with the steroid trial in which Hogan testified against McMahon in court.

At the contract signing, McMahon bloodied Hogan and forced him to sign the contract for their match in his own blood. This was the pinnacle of the 'mad' Mr. McMahon character that everyone loved to hate.

The match itself was brutal, it saw the use of a lead pipe, a steel chair, McMahon leg dropping Hogan off a ladder through the announce desk and Hogan pinning McMahon after three leg drops.

McMahon was at his heelish best in this one, providing the perfect foil for Hogan to rise up against with the crowd behind him. McMahon, as the maniac owner, tried to stack the deck against Hogan, even with the help of Roddy Piper, but in the end, it was Hogan who came out on top in a classic encounter.
