5. Hulkamania runs wild - Wrestlemania 3

No moment in Wrestling History is more critical than Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre The Giant. This single match elevated Pro Wrestling to the mainstream. The 80's Wrestling Boom reached it's peak once Hogan and Andre had their now legendary match in the Pontiac Silverdome at Wrestlemania 3. The match was called perfectly by Gorilla Monsoon who billed it as 'The Immovable Object vs. The Unstoppable Force.' This match launched Hulkamania which would run wild on the world of Pro Wrestling for years to come.
Andre The Giant was a baby face and a trendy one at that. But Vince wanted to give him a Wrestlemania Main Event before he retired. So, he was turned heel and booked against Hulk Hogan in the main event for the WWE Championship. The match was billed as the "biggest main event in sports entertainment." It lived up to the hype. In the era it took place, the match was one of a kind and the biggest one ever to take place. Hogan won the match by picking up Andre, a feat no one had yet accomplished and body-slamming him before hitting his patented Leg Drop for the win.
