The 411 From 406
Currently viewing the tag: "Shawn Michaels"
We’re smack dab in the middle of the Road To WrestleMania. Ever since the Royal Rumble in January, the WWE has kicked it into high gear getting ready for their flagship show. I have to say that going into the Rumble I wasn’t overly optimistic about this year’s show. With the exception of Taker/Shawn [...]
Event: WrestleMania XIV
Date: March 29, 1998
Venue: Fleet Center (Boston, Massachusetts)
Attendance: 19,028
We’re still in the WWF days… I keep thinking we’re flipping over to WWE pretty soon. Good intro here that’s just starting to talk about the “Attitude Era”. Goes into the lineage of the WWF title, introduces Austin, [...]
Event: WrestleMania 13
Date: March 23, 1997
Venue: Rosemont Horizon (Rosemont, Illinois)
Attendance: 18,197
Brief introduction package on what we’re going to see this evening. Vince, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on the call which is a great announcing lineup. We get right into the first match.
Four-way Tag Team Elimination Match
Event: WrestleMania XII
Date: March 31, 1996
Venue: Arrowhead Pond (Anaheim, California)
Attendance: 18,853
Still coming to you as the World Wrestling Federation. Damn if I can’t remember when the switch came. I could have sworn it was around this time. We start off with a Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels promo and go [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Event: WrestleMania VIII
Date: April 5, 1992
Venue: Hoosier Dome ( Indianapolis, Indiana)
Attendance: 65,167
This show was billed as having a “double main event” which rarely (if ever) works out. I believe that this is the first Mania event that I watched live on PPV. We get Gorilla and Bobby [...]
Event: WrestleMania VII
Date: March 24, 1991
Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena (Los Angeles, California)
Attendance: 16,158
At WrestleMania VI, it was announced that this event would be held at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Between WM VI and now, the venue was changed to the Sports Arena. According to the WWF [...]
WrestleMania XXVI is in the books and I have to say it was a very good offering overall. Quite frankly this is the type of show I wish they had last year for the 25th anniversary. It wasn’t anything mind blowing but it was a very solid event from top to bottom.
Showmiz vs. [...]
