Ranking all 35 WrestleMania endings

#13 "Macho Man's finest hour" (WrestleMania 4)

The ending was a bit of a letdown, given Hogan's assistance with dirty tactics to help Macho Man win the title, but it was still notable in several ways. It was Macho Man's first WWE title, which was well deserved after all the great matches he had been a part of in the company.

More importantly, this victory set up the Mega Powers Explode angle which would headline next year's WrestleMania. The two were close as kin at this point, but that wouldn't last. Even now, the Mega Powers angle is an archetype of long-term storytelling in wrestling.

Still, the slightly disappointing way this match ended, and the knowledge that this was an anticlimax of sorts which only set up the real climax a year later, means that this cathartic title win isn't remembered as fondly as some of the others in WrestleMania history.
