Event: WrestleMania IX Date: April 4, 1993 Venue: Caesars Palace (Las Vegas, Nevada) Attendance: 16,891

Gorilla Monsoon on the mic for this outdoor event at Caesars Palace. They’re referring to it as “the world’s largest toga party”. I’m sure that’s supposed to be clever, but it comes across and being completely lame. When Howard Finkel is announced, he’s referred to as “Finkus Maximus”.
