WRESTLEMANIA (1985)
Madison Square Garden – New York, NY
March 31, 1985
The showcase of the Immortals had to start somewhere, I suppose. And in 1985, Vince McMahon presented the inaugural Wrestlemania event to a live captive audience in Madison Square Garden and close-circuit television.
The original Wrestlemania pretty much set the standard for what others would follow – bigtime matches, celebrity starpowers, and a sense of grandeur that gave the show something of an epic feel. From the perspective of someone who had never seen that first iteration previously, I could honestly say that I thouroughly enjoyed watching the show, both for the card itself and for the overall historical interest. It surely shows how far the event has evolved from its rather humble beginnings.
Even for its sense of grandeur that it was invoking, Wrestlemania was still pretty low-key. I liked the pre-match interviews that take place during each match, I liked that there was less of a focus on overdone skits and more of a focus on in-ring action, and I liked that my VHS copy of the show kept in the original “Eye of The Tiger” theme that served as Hulk Hogan’s entrance music at the time, rather than redub the track with “Real American” as had been the practice in some of the more recent releases from WWE.
For the sake of history, you can’t say that this was a bad show because if it was, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Although the undercard were less-than-stellar, it wasn’t entirely horrible and the much-hyped matches sold the show itself with its appeal and intrigue if not for its in-ring work. As a whole, it’s a worthwhile viewing to see how far we’ve come and gone.

WRESTLEMANIA II (1986)
Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY
Rosemont Horizon, Chicago, IL
L.A. Sports Arena, Los Angeles CA
April 7, 1986
The original Wrestlemania event wasn’t necessarily a showcase of immortals, but it was a showcase of the sports-entertainment style that Vince McMahon was pushing to make the WWF the premier brand of the industry. The wrestling on the show wasn’t up to snuff, but it had a hot main event that people paid money to see and would be the start of a long-running extravaganza the likes of which no other wrestling event – not even the NWA’s own Starracade supershows – would ever achieve at the time.
But while Wrestlemania I was the showcase of sports-entertainment at its best, Wrestlemania II was a show case of… of… well, I’m actually not quite sure, actually.Apparently, this was the sequel so massive that they needed three arenas to produce it. I honestly don’t know what they were trying to achieve with this (apparently Jim Crockett attempted something similar before and it bombed) but you’d think that with three venues to book, they’d give each arena equal care, but that didn’t seem to be the case, since the WWF/WWE never attempted something like this since…
A Mr.T/Roddy Piper boxing match main-evented the Long Island show… meh, nothing special. A tag-team title match main-evented the Chicago show… and for LA, a Hulk Hogan triumph over King Kong Bundy in a steel cage. Certainly nowhere near as epic as next year’s main event would be… but that’s next year. As for the rest of the card… Dory Funk is redubbed HOSS Funk. Don’t ask.
As someone who didn’t grow up watching wrestling during the 80s, I ended up fast-forwarding through a lot of stuff here, going to show how much of Mania 2 is actually worth watching. I’m sure some folks might have some nostalgia attachment to this show, but for me, it was a nothing show. There wasn’t anything really noteworthy or memorable about the show that stuck out in my mind; it was just a bold attempt at a multi-venue concept that didn’t really pan out at the time and wasn’t something that was indicative or worthy of the spectacle that Wrestlemania was supposed to be… although I do think it’s something they might be able to pull off today if anyone in WWE had the mindset and initiative to make it work.
Sidenote: A good set of the LULZ for the unedited “Bullshit” chants regarding the conclusion of the opening match between Paul Orndorff and Magnificent Muraco. I’d imagine that getting the axe in the present day PG-rated family-entertainment era of WWE… or redub it with Cena chants.

Wrestlemania III (1987)
Pontiac Silverdome, Pontiac, MI
March 29, 1987
If there was any single show that was truly worth of the moniker “showcase of the immortals”, it would be Wrestlemania III.
Some would regard this as the most important PPV in professional wrestling simply because it’s responsible for putting the sports-entertainment genre on the map. Despite being the third, it is considered the pinnacle of the industry and the most successful show that made the WWF the hottest thing going. With a heavily-hyped and anticipated main event in the WWF Championship match between Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant that delivered in drama along with a solid undercard, Wrestlemania III is the gold-standard for what a big-time PPV should be and what all big supercards strive to be. It is perhaps the purest highlight of the sports-entertainment form that McMahon was pushing, with a healthy balance of grandeur, celebrity, and wrestling that makes the whole thing work.
On a technical wrestling level, you weren’t getting much out of the battle between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. But it was less about the wrestling and more about the moments. The “slam heard round the world” as some would call it remains one of the most pivotal moments in WWF/WWE history and seldom few have managed to match the excitement and tonality of such a single moment in a main event match.
And along with with a number of solid matches such as Savage/Steamboat, Wrestlemania III is definitely one of the better cards and one that holds up extremely well even after two decades. It is such a great PPV that it got its own DVD release. Definitely worth checking out not only for the historical importance, but also for the good show in and of itself.

WRESTLEMANIA IV
Trump Plaza, Atlantic City, NJ
March 27, 1988
So you’ve just booked perhaps the greatest main-event in wrestling history. Where do you go from here? Proper logic suggests that you build for the eventual rematch for the next big show. And certainly with Hogan and Andre leading 5-man teams in the inaugural Survivor Series PPV, you’d think that would be the logical course of action to take.
Unfortunately, the rematch to the most important match in wrestling history took place not at a grand stage or big-time PPV such as, oh I don’t know, Wrestlemania IV where it should have been, but instead it took place on The Main Event, a free show airing at NBC. Andre won the match and the title, but circumstances vacated the title and it was decided that the new WWF champion would be crowned at ‘Mania via a tournament that would be determined at the show.
Single-night tournaments are a tricky thing because it requires that every match taking place holds the audience’s interest through the duration of the show, lest they get bored and uninterested. Survivor Series 98 had a pretty entertaining tournament that flowed through nicely throughout three hours. Wrestlemania IV did not.
A lot of the matches often fell into two categories; too short to actually go anywhere or not good. There are seldom few gems to be found here and chances are they’ll be missed by whoever is watching this because they will have passed out. Subsequently, the show was just a chore to sit through, with some going so far as to call this Wrestlemania BORE. And no, kids. Not even the Ultimate Warrior’s match with Hercules Hernandez could save this show.
On the bright side, Macho winning the title at the end is actually pretty touching. A shame it would all go crashing down afterwards…

WRESTLEMANIA V
Trump Plaza, Atlantic City, NJ
April 2nd, 1989
Here’s a rarity; Trump Plaza played host to Wrestlemania for the second year in a row, having hosted Wrestlemania IV and the WWF Championship tournament that saw Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage winning his first World title. While there have been venues who would play two-time hosts to the event, there hasn’t been another occurance of the venue playing BACK-TO-BACK hosts. Certainly something that would mean something TODAY if it were to happen.
Whether this was by design or purely coincidental booking on their part, I can’t help but sense a touch of irony that Randy Savage would return to the building where he won the championship, only to walk out empty-handed and lose the title to his rival, Hulk Hogan. I suppose this is the WWF’s subtle way of wiping the stench of ‘Mania IV’s abysmal tournament from the year prior, including the guy who won it. Not to worry, though. Macho stuck around for a bit. No biggie.
In retrospect, I wasn’t too fond of this show. Hogan/Savage was pretty enjoyable for what it was, Rude/Warrior was actually not that bad and told a great story… there were a couple okayish matches here on the undercard side of things, but the rest of the show was just a big blur to me with a lot of stuff that had me reaching for the fast-forward button on my remote. I think they were just cramming in as much crap in there as possible to justify the four hour show. It makes you take a step back and think of the current year’s Wrestlemania card as something that was tossed together to get as many people on there as possible… and then you look at past ‘Manias such as this. Suddenly, it doesn’t seem all that crazy.
But yeah, other than the main events and the title matches… and the one Piper segment… I personally didn’t care for this one.

WRESTLEMANIA VI
Skydome, Toronto, ON
April 1st, 1990
Taking place in Toronto, you had Hulk Hogan taking on the Ultimate Warrior. You had Warrior defeating Hogan and winning his only world title… well, if you had to do something bold and daring, it had to be in Canada because heaven forbid Hulk Fucking Hogan would lose a match at Wrestlemania taking place in the United States during his prime.
Wrestlemania VI, much like Wrestlemania V, was pretty much a one-match show. It was all about Hogan vs. Warrior and all things considered, it’s certainly an interesting experiment. And while the undercard is an example of hit and miss, the main event at least delivered on the drama and intensity… and the wrestling was not that bad either considering the participants.
Not a bad show, actually. It has its moments, but really, it was all about one match.

WRESTLEMANIA VIII
Hoosier Dome, Indianapolis, IN
April 5, 1992
It’s been said that the big main event for this show was supposed to be Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair. Who said it? I don’t recall, but it certainly should have been the case. However, due to circumstances beyond anyone’s comprehension, we didn’t get that match. Instead, we get Flair defending (and losing) his WWF championship to Randy Savage in a good, bloody affair and the main event match of Hulk Hogan getting a DQ win over Sid in what was built as Hogan’s retirement match… BWAH! HA! HA! HA! HA! That’s funny!
Not a whole lot to say about this show, though. Bret vs Piper for the IC title was a pretty good match, Jake Roberts got a pretty decent burial, Tito got delivered another ‘Mania loss to the future Heartbreak Kid… on a whole, the show was pretty good as far as the undercard was concerned. Not the best of the bunch, but it was watchable… more than what I can say for next year’s iteration.

WRESTLEMANIA IX
Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV
April 4, 1993
Touted as the defacto worst Wrestlemania ever conceived… but actually, far from it. It’s still really bad and ranks low among the various ‘Manias, but there’s been worse ‘Manias past this one. Doesn’t mean this one is a hidden gem. It’s just really bad. So bad that it has earned a Wrestlecrap induction… that has to mean something.
If nothing else, Wrestlemania IX is known for the Hulk Hogan hotshot title reign that put an end to Yokozuna’s ninety seconds in the sun. Ever the sportsman and company loyalist, Hogan would then proceed to do absolutely fuck all in the WWF (merely content in doing matches in Japan) before dropping the title back to Yokozuna in JUNE. Ah, that Huckster. What a great guy. He can kiss my ass.

restlemania X
Madison Square Garden
March 20, 1994
For the tenth Mania, the “Show Of Shows” returns to MSG and is considered by many to be one of, if not THE best of the Manias. While I wouldn’t go so far as to call THE BEST, it certainly does have that claim. A superb Owen/Bret match (the first of many throughout the year), a legendary ladder match that people seem to like (but not as good as the Summerslam 1995 ladder match), the final Wrestlemania appearance of the Macho Man, and TWO WWF title matches (and no Hogan to spoil the mood in either) is among the various high points in a show that has few low points (which aren’t all terrible, to be honest.) Anyone who can appreciate quality matches can sit through the mediocre (but still okay) stuff and watch the title matches, ladder match, and opening match more than make up for it.

WRESTLEMANIA XI
Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT
April 2, 1995
They say that peering into each Wrestlemania tells you the state of the company at the time and this would hold true to a certain extent. Barring Wrestlemania 9, which was just a horrific show by any means, each ‘Mania spotlighted the top stars, best matches of the time, and top-notch performance. Wrestlemania X was considered a good wrestling show, but 1994 would play home to other great wrestling shows from the WWF. Wrestlemania XI, on the other hand, was a good spotlight into everything that was wrong with the company, long before it would be truly damaging.
The WWF Championship match between Diesel and Shawn Michaels was not the designated main event that closed out the show, but rather it was the much-publicized match between Bam Bam Bigelow and football great Lawrence Taylor. The match itself is nothing amazing, but I thought that Taylor handled himself pretty well in that match and for what it was, it was pretty decent. And it would have been interesting to see where this would go had they went on to have a series of matches, but that would be overdoing it, I suppose.
Wrestlemania XI took place during the heyday of the WWF’s New Generation era and a Kevin Nash title reign; a period of time that most “experts” and otherwise consider to be the Dark Age of McMahon’s utopia and this show clearly illustrates the road of mediocrity the promotion was headed. There wasn’t really any standout matches to look forward to. It’s a show you could pretty much skip over without losing any sleep over it and is perhaps the furthest thing from “show of shows” or “showcase of the immortals” that you can get. Absolutely ridiculous.
