WrestleMania X WrestleMania X was the tenth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay - per - view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation . It took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City , New York on March 20 , 1994 . The central focus of the pay - per - view was the WWF Championship , which was defended in two matches . Lex Luger challenged champion Yokozuna first but the storyline saw Luger disqualified for pushing the referee . Bret Hart faced Yokozuna later in the evening and won the championship by pinning Yokozuna . This led to a lengthy worked feud between Bret and his brother Owen , who defeated Bret in the opening match of the pay - per - view . Several other major feuds were also highlighted at this event . Razor Ramon defeated Shawn Michaels in a Ladder match to resolve an angle in which the two had argued over the rightful holder of the Intercontinental Championship . Bam Bam Bigelow gained revenge against Doink the Clown , with whom he had been feuding , by teaming with Luna Vachon to defeat Doink and his partner Dink . Randy Savage also settled his feud with Crush by defeating him in a Falls Count Anywhere match . Background . The storyline surrounding the WWF Championship began at the 1994 Royal Rumble when the final two wrestlers , Lex Luger and Bret Hart , simultaneously eliminated each other . After a disagreement between two referees , Jack Tunney , the WWF President , declared Luger and Hart co - winners . Tunney announced that both wrestlers would get a WWF Championship match at WrestleMania , the prize given to the winner of the Royal Rumble match , and both wrestlers would have to wrestle two matches for the pay - per - view . Tunney announced that a coin toss would be used to decide who faced Yokozuna for the belt first . If Luger won , he would face Yokozuna first . Hart would then wrestle his brother Owen Hart before facing the winner of the Luger - Yokozuna match . If Hart won the coin toss , he would get the first title shot , and Luger would wrestle Crush earlier on the card . On the January 31 , 1994 episode of " Monday Night Raw " , Luger won the coin toss and the right to face Yokozuna first . Bret Hart was booked to face his brother Owen , with whom he was in the middle of a feud . The storyline between the Hart brothers began at Survivor Series 1993 , where they were competing on the same side of an elimination match . As Owen was fighting in the ring , Bret , who had sustained a kayfabe injury , was staggering along the ring apron . Owen ran into Bret , causing Owen to lose his focus and get eliminated from the match . After the match , Owen returned to the ring and had a confrontation with Bret . In the following weeks , Owen demanded a match with Bret , but Bret refused to accept the challenge . Eventually , the storyline had the brothers reunite to face The Quebecers at Royal Rumble 1994 . During the match , Bret sustained another kayfabe injury , causing the referee to end the match . In a planned turn , Owen got upset by the loss and attacked Bret to restart the feud . Luger ' s feud with Yokozuna began on July 4 , 1993 at the Yokozuna Bodyslam Challenge . In June , Mr . Fuji , Yokozuna ' s manager , challenged all American athletes to attempt to bodyslam Yokozuna on the deck of the USS Intrepid . After several athletes failed , the storyline saw Luger arrive by helicopter and successfully bodyslam Yokozuna . This began a strong push for Luger , who was then scheduled to challenge Yokozuna for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam 1993 . Luger won the match by countout but did not win the title . The WWF claimed that the match stipulations did not allow Luger a rematch . The storyline saw Luger campaigning for entry into the 1994 Royal Rumble , as he wanted the title shot that would be given to the winner . Luger was eventually entered into the match , although The Great Kabuki and Genichiro Tenryu were also entered , on Mr . Fuji ' s behalf , to attempt to prevent Luger from winning . Kabuki and Tenryu were unsuccessful , however , as Luger won the match and gained a match for the WWF Championship . The storyline leading to the match between Randy Savage and Crush focused on the supposedly strained friendship between the two wrestlers . On the July 12 , 1993 episode of " Monday Night Raw " , Crush challenged Yokozuna for the WWF Championship . At the end of the match , Yokozuna performed the Banzai Drop to win the match . After the match , he performed three more Banzai Drops while various wrestlers ran to the ring to stop the attack . Savage eventually came to the ring to help Crush . Following the match , Crush was not seen on televised matches for several months , although he continued to appear at house shows . On October 18 , Crush appeared on " Monday Night Raw " accompanied by Yokozuna and Yokozuna ' s manager , Mr . Fuji . Crush criticized Savage for not intervening sooner during the July 12 match . In a worked promo , Crush announced that he had turned against Savage and the United States in order to align himself with Yokozuna and Fuji . He then attacked Savage by dropping him on the ringside guard rail . Yokozuna performed the Banzai Drop on Savage before a group of referees came to the ring to break up the fight . During the November 8 , 1993 episode of " Monday Night Raw " , Savage left his position as commentator to attack Crush . The following week , Jack Tunney announced that Savage was suspended from commentating as a result of the previous week ' s attack . The feud intensified at Survivor Series 1993 when Savage and Crush caused each other to be eliminated from their respective matches . Bam Bam Bigelow and Doink the Clown were engaged in a feud that began in the fall of 1993 . Doink annoyed Bigelow with a series of pranks , such as throwing water and confetti on him and tripping him with a broom . Bigelow retaliated against Doink and Doink ' s midget sidekick Dink . A match was booked for Survivor Series 1993 , but Bigelow was unable to get revenge because Doink did not compete . Instead , the WWF prolonged the feud by having Bigelow ' s team face was The Bushwhackers and Men on a Mission dressed as Doinks . The feud eventually culminated in a match scheduled for WrestleMania X . In the match , Bigelow and his storyline girlfriend Luna Vachon competed against Doink and Dink in a Mixed tag team match . The feud between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels also dated back to the fall of 1993 . Jack Tunney announced that he was stripping Michaels of the WWF Intercontinental Championship for not defending the title often enough . There have been reports that the real reason for vacating the title was because Michaels refused to drop the belt . Ramon won the title after competing in a battle royal and defeating Rick Martel , the other finalist in the match . In the angle , Michaels refused to acknowledge the title change , however , as he insisted that he was the true Intercontinental Champion . To gain revenge against Ramon for taking the belt , Michaels attacked Ramon and helped Irwin R . Schyster to steal Ramon ' s gold chains .
