10 WWE WrestleMania Matches That Sadly Get Overlooked
You NEED to check out these underrated classics!
4. The Steiner Brothers Vs. The Headshrinkers (WrestleMania 9)
Ahh, WrestleMania 9 - in a shipment of 34 bags of grain, this would be the one that has the dead mice inside.
Between Bret Hart's WWE title reign, Hulk Hogan usurping the spotlight, and Undertaker trying to get something decent out of a glorified Bayley Buddy covered in minks, WrestleMania 9 was pretty gosh-darn bad. In fact, once you get past the first two matches, you're swimming in a septic tank the rest of the way.
The opener was Shawn Michaels vs. Tatanka for the IC title. The second match was this tag team brawl.
When you put the Steiners and Headshrinkers together, you have four men who go the extra mile when it comes to jacking someone's jaw, and this match is as violent as you can get without resorting to deathmatch implements.
At one juncture, Scott Steiner takes a flapjack over the top rope and appears to just die. In another stunning moment, Rick catches one Headshrinker in a Powerslam - while sitting on the other's shoulders. It's some high-concept material, setting a high bar that nothing that followed came close to clearing.
