The main event at WrestleMania III between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant was a tipping point for WWE, cementing wrestling's place in pop culture history.

Freddie Prinze Jr. leads a roundtable discussion with Booker T, Natalya, D-Von Dudley and John Bradshaw Layfield about this historic rivalry.

After dominating most of the WWE roster in the mid 90's, Undertaker needed an opponent who could push him both physically and mentally. Mankind (aka Mick Foley) became that perfect adversary for "The Deadman." Together, these larger-than-life characters created unforgettable moments each time the bell rang, culminating in their spectacular 1998 Hell in a Cell match. A roundtable of luminaries including Freddie Prinze Jr., Booker T, Natalya, D-Von Dudley and John Bradshaw Layfield discuss this quintessential rivalry.

The Rock helped send WWE to new heights in the late 90s during the "Attitude Era." But once Hollywood came calling, a bold and brash upstart named John Cena soon won over the entire WWE Universe and became the face of the company. However, Cena's public criticisms of The Rock led to verbal attacks both on and off the screen and eventually a dream match for WWE fans. Freddie Prinze Jr. breaks down this great rivalry with Kevin Nash, Natalya, Bayley and John Bradshaw Layfield.

In the early 2000's, Triple H became the mentor of a young talent named Batista. Over time, the two began to clash, leading to an epic rivalry in 2005.

However, Batista later returned for one final match against the man that made him a superstar, Triple H. This feud is dissected by a roundtable of experts including Freddie Prinze Jr., Kevin Nash, Natalya, Bayley and John Bradshaw Layfield.

During the peak of WWE's "Attitude Era," two women helped redefine what it meant to be a female competitor in sports entertainment.

But these two female superstars broke boundaries battling each other in an unprecedented main event match on Monday Night RAW. Freddie Prinze Jr. leads a roundtable discussion with Kevin Nash, Cody Rhodes, Beth Phoenix and John Bradshaw Layfield.

Spanning over seven years, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns had one of the longest rivalries in WWE history.

A roundtable composed of Freddie Prinze Jr., Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano, Renee Paquette and John Bradshaw Layfield shed light on this notable battle.

Undertaker's legacy was challenged in 2005 when Randy Orton set out to destroy WWE legends in the ring.

Along with Freddie Prinze Jr., Booker T, Natalya, D-Von Dudley and John Bradshaw Layfield, Orton and Undertaker go behind-the-scenes to discuss their wild and fiery moments.

In 1985, Hulk Hogan led WWE into a new era with the first WrestleMania. While Hogan got much of the credit, his nemesis 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper felt under-appreciated as the villain.

Freddie Prinze Jr., Booker T, Natalya, D-Von Dudley and John Bradshaw Layfield break down this groundbreaking rivalry.

In 1996, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was climbing to the top of the WWE roster. However, one man stood in his path: Bret "Hitman" Hart, one of greatest wrestlers at the time.

Freddie Prinze Jr. leads a roundtable of luminaries including Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano, Renee Paquette and John Bradshaw Layfield to break down this epic rivalry.

In the late '90s, Shawn Michaels was a polarizing villain, both inside and outside the ring; with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin poised to be the next top WWE superstar, the two naturally collided.
