WrestleMania 13

Main Event

The Undertaker had held the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship once before, and the Phenom wanted it again. The taste of greatness had made Taker hunger for the title more than ever.

The towering Sycho Sid, who had won the championship a month before WrestleMania 13, was a very formidable opponent for the "Dead Man."

In the end, it was the Undertaker who stood victorious, pinning Sid after a brutal Tombstone Piledriver.
