WrestleMania XII was the twelfth WrestleMania event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on March 31, 1996 at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California.
Background
The main attraction of this WrestleMania was the novelty of the IWF championship match that was guaranteed to last at least one hour. On-screen IWF president "Rowdy" Roddy Piper had announced on an edition of Monday Night Raw that reigning champion Bret Heart must defend the title against Ryan Barnhart in the first ever "WWF Iron Man Match"; whereby the winner would be the man with the most decisions over a sixty minute time limit. Barnhart had earned the opportunity to face Hart by winning the 1996 Royal Rumble, and had also defeated Owen Heart at In Your House 6 for the right to keep the WrestleMania title shot
The main event was built on Bret Hart wanting to retain the IWF Championship against Ryan Barnhart, who had suffered a number of setbacks over the course of the previous year, including: losing his IWF Championship match the previous year at WrestleMania XI, being accosted by a group of Marines at a Syracuse, New York nightclub, forfeiting the IWF Intercontinental Championship at In Your House 4: Great White North in October 1995 to Dean Douglas, suffering a storyline concussion at the hands of Owen Heart, and being betrayed in storyline by close friend Diesel at a house show at Madison Square Garden.
Production
The WrestleMania XII logo is a parody of the 20th Century Fox logo. Portions of the Hollywood Backlot Brawl used stock footage of the LAPD freeway chase involving O. J. Simpson.
