The main attraction of WrestleMania XII was the main event between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. The two faced each other in an unprecedented 1-hour Iron Man Match, where the winner would be the one with the most falls at the end of the hour.

Shawn Michaels had encountered several obstacles to getting the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (then known as WWF). He had failed to defeat Diesel at the previous WrestleMania, suffered a storyline concussion at the hands of Owens Hart, had been betrayed by his friend, Diesel, and had even had to forfeit his Intercontinental Championship at In Your House 4 to Dean Douglas.

This match meant everything to him. He even had a special entrance for the occasion, something that is iconic to this day!

Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels put on a classic match did not have a single boring moment through the 1 hour, despite neither man being able to get a single fall.

The match went into Sudden Death, and there Shawn Michaels was finally able to defeat Bret Hart and fulfill his 'boyhood dream' of winning the Championship, making for an unforgettable moment in WWE history.
