Event: WrestleMania XI Date: April 2, 1995 Venue: Hartford Civic Center (Hartford, Connecticut) Attendance: 16,305
The opening montage talks about the special guest stars that will be in attendance at the event including Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, etc. Looking like the WWF is starting to REALLY branch out into “sports entertainment” at this point. We get a Special Olympian’s rendition of America The Beautiful. She’s over singing BIG time complete with the waggle in her voice. I don’t care if she’s “special” – she sucks.
The Allied Powers (Lex Luger and The British Bulldog) defeated The Blu Brothers (Jacob… Continue reading
Event: WrestleMania X Date: March 20, 1994 Venue: Madison Square Garden (New York, New York) Attendance: 18,065
We kick off the show with images from the original WrestleMania. Little Richard sings America The Beautiful poorly. Pretty sure he was lip syncing and he looks like a damn wax statue. Scary dude. We get Jerry “The King” Lawler and Vince McMahon on the mic.
Owen Hart defeated Bret Hart We get a great recap here pre-match. Probably the best of the series so far. We’re then treated to a weak ass fireworks display and then FINALLY nearly 15 minutes after the… Continue reading
A couple of weeks back I tuned in to a Monday night show of TNA Wrestling and was pleasantly surprised with the show that they put on (from a wrestling perspective). I was however kind of shocked when I looked at the roster to see just how many old WWE and WCW guys were there. I suppose in retrospect this really should surprise me as there simply aren’t that many big time wrestling promotions available for the top guys. If the WWE doesn’t want you and you want to stay in the business then you’ve only got a couple of… Continue reading
So I’m sitting here on a Monday night doing some work and flipping through the channels. Actually that’s not quite true. Normally I tape WWE Raw each and every Monday and get to it throughout the week. Tonight however was a bit different as both the WWE and TNA had programming on tonight that I wanted to watch: The Monday Night Wars were back!
The TNA show started at 8:00 PM so they got an early start on Vince and crew over at the WWE. I have to say that the first hour of that show was pretty entertaining. … Continue reading
WrestleMania 25 is just recently in the books. It wasn’t great but there were a couple of REALLY good matches. WrestleMania weekend for me always means going back and reliving some of those great matches from past events. It’s rare that this list is modified, but thanks to the Dead Man and Mr. WrestleMania this year, it was. Honorable mentions and The Top Ten are listed in order of occurrence (oldest to newest). Keep in mind that this is MY list. I’m sure there are those out there that will put some others in their top ten – I’m an… Continue reading
