It was a time in WWE where new stars were rising and torches would be passed. Without the grand gestures we sometimes see in wrestling, the subtle emergence of WWE's next generation of stars was a constant theme throughout the eighth installment of WrestleMania.
Head back to Indianapolis, Indiana's Hoosier Dome in 1992 with Stefan Bennett and Mike McGuire as they go through the card that would see a dream match replaced with a "Double Main Event", the emergence of names like Shawn Michaels, Bret and Owen Hart, and a WrestleMania moment for... Virgil?!
It's all here in the latest installment of Celebrate Wrestling's "Legends and Champions"!
