Super Stars And Stripes Forever – WrestleMania VII

Published May 11, 2010 | By Chewie

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 at the time, this was due to some death threats that Slaughter had received. Other reports say it was due to slow ticket sales. Personally I’m of the opinion that it was the latter. WrestleMania VI had over 67,000 people in attendance and here we’ve got just over… Continue reading →

WrestleMania VI – The Ultimate Challenge

Published March 10, 2010 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania VI Date: April 1, 1990 Venue: SkyDome (Toronto, Ontario) Attendance: 67,287

From the very beginning of this DVD you know you’re in for something special. The intro is a voice over by Vince REALLY turning it on. Images of a celestial Hogan and Warrior are shown and Vince booms about the “Ultimate Challenge”. Gorilla and Jesse are back once again (though Ventura is sans mustache). As we’re in Toronto, Bob Goulet sings the Canadian national anthem. It’s weird to start a WrestleMania event without America The Beautiful.

WrestleMania V – The Mega Powers EXPLODE!!!

Published February 10, 2010 | By Chewie

Event: WrestleMania V Date: April 2, 1989 Venue: Trump Plaza (Atlantic City, New Jersey) Attendance: 18,946

For the second year in a row, WrestleMania is being held at the Trump Plaza. This is also the second event in the anthology that goes to two DVDs. After a WrestleMania IV card that had 16 matches, the WWF followed up with a 14 match card… that seemed to last FOREVER. That’s not to say that there aren’t any gems in here cause there are. Unfortunately we get off a really rocky start with current WWF Women’s Champion Rockin Robin singing America The… Continue reading →
