Good start, but then it gets ruined
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

WrestleMania was denifitely a great way to start out for the WWF(Oops excuse me...WWE). Star ratings wise, it really was not a great card. The WWF would be in trouble for making P.P.V. cards that bad. But, the magic was there.The MOTN(Match of the night) of course, was Hogan/T vs. Piper/Orndorf. Alot of junk was in it too like the King Kong Bundy match that was really 24 seconds but kayfabe says 9 seconds.All in all. Easy recommendation.BTW, if you want to chat about the good old days of wrestling just drop me an e-mail!
Match 1: Tito Santana defeated the Executioner Match 2: David Sammartino and Brutus Beefcake wrestled to a double-DQ Match 3: Ricky Steamboat defeated Matt Borne Match 4: King Kong Bundy defeated S.D. Jones Match 5: Andre the Giant defeated Big John Studd in a Body Slam Match Match 6: Junk Yard Dog defeated Greg Valentine via countout Match 7: Nikolai Volkoff & Iron Sheik defeated Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham to capture the Tag Team Championship Match 8: Wendi Richter defeated Lelani Kai for the Women's Championship Match 9: Hulk Hogan & Mr. T defeated Roddy Piper and Paul OrndorffOverall Mark: B
Ya know, just because it is the first one, does not make it good! This show is pretty bad. Boring and bad matches litter the card & absolutly nothing is worth seeing on this show. If you are a die hard WWF fan & you haven't seen this yet, you should. If you are just a casual fan, stay away from this crappy card.
