#9 Bret Hart is the guy (WrestleMania 10)
It was a long, winding road to get there, but Bret Hart finally secured his place at the top of the company at WrestleMania 10, when he defeated Yokozuna in revenge for the loss he took a year prior. During that time, Vince McMahon infamously tried to turn Lex Luger into the next Hulk Hogan, but failed to do so. The fans wanted Bret Hart and Bret Hart is what they got.
After the grueling match with Owen Hart earlier in the night, things didn't look good for Bret in the main event, but he would ultimately pull it off and win the WWF Championship once again. Lex Luger would in turn recognize him as the guy to carry the WWF brand.
Bret Hart would have his work cut out for him in the coming New Generation era, but that night was special for him and the fans.
