In 1991, Ric Flair signed with WWE causing fans around the world to believe their dream Flair VS Hogan match was going to happen. In February of 1992 the WWE announced two of sports entertainments biggest icons would finally be going head to head at Wrestlemania eight. However, it was explained to the fans that near Wrestlemania that Hogan would be pulled from he's match against Flair in favour of a battle with Sid Justice. Despite the heavy on camera conflict between Hogan and Justice many still speculate about the reasoning behind the change.

In 1993 the WWE hosted it's first out door Wrestlemania event. It also marked Jim Ross' first day on the job, WWE's first toga part and the first time a superstar not scheduled to main event walk away with the WWE Championship. The main event was advertised as a one on one against Yokozuna and Bret Hart and it was Yokozuna who took the title off Hart that night. However, an impromptu contest broke out, and hogan topped the new titlist to become the new champ and walk away with gold. Many insiders, most notably Hart, assumed Hogan used his stroke to strong arm his way back into the WWE Spotlight.

Celebrating ten years in the making, the WWE brought Wrestlemania 10 back to its birthplace, Madison Square Garden, in March 1994.The event was so highly anticipated that despite its high ticket price of $300, it sold in less than one hour. Years later, Wrestlemania ten is still remembered as the site of two of its generation's greatest matches: Owen Hart VS Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels VS Razor Ramon in a ladder match. Also, for the second year in a row, Yokozuna competed in two WWE Championship Matches and again walked away without the gold. Instead, on this night, Bret Hart claimed his second WWE Title.
