Well-known examples of icons who inspired today's stars include Roddy Piper, from whom Ronda Rousey has taken moves, aspects of her look, and the "Rowdy" nickname. Rousey is part of a small group of superstars who went from watching their heroes entertain the masses to emulating them.

Owens arrived in WWE more than a decade after The Texas Rattlesnake's initial retirement at WrestleMania XIX, so a dream match between them seemed impossible. However, Austin utterly shocked the world by coming out of retirement to face the former Universal champion in the main event of WrestleMania 38, Night 1. The Rattlesnake won the No Holds Barred match, sending the Texas crowd home in ecstasy and fulfilling a lifelong dream for his opponent.

The similarities in their characters were partly due to the fact that Michaels' career was inspired by The Nature Boy. This mentor vs mentee story came full circle at WrestleMania XXIV, where they faced off in a career-threatening match.

They told a very emotional, soap opera-like story which culminated in Michaels whispering the iconic "I'm sorry, I love you" line before hitting Sweet Chin Music. The duo briefly embraced in the ring before The Heartbreak Kid exited, leaving his hero to soak in the fans' adulation. The immense stakes of this match and the magnitude of the careers that were on the line mean that it is still one of the most emotional moments ever.

Having made history as the first WWE women to feature on Saudi billboards, they delivered arguably the match of the night, where Lynch retained her title. Big Time Becks was a heel at the time, so she couldn't break the character to thank her opponent on screen, but it must have been a great moment for her.

Hogan was one of WCW's pillars during the Monday Night Wars and returned to WWE after the company bought out their competition in 2001. Naturally, a clash between these two generational stars became a dream match for many, one which came to pass at WrestleMania X8.

The incredible energy of the crowd in attendance for this match created one of the most electric atmospheres in history before a punch was even thrown. The saying "Work hard until your heroes become your rivals" has never been so apt. Did you know Scott Steiner slapped a pro wrestling legend?
