Wrestlemania main event Hulk Hogan & Mr T V Mr Wonderful and Roddy Piper. Guest ref Muhammad Ali and guest bell ringer Liberace

Great first Wresltemania its crazy looking back and seeing the crowd throwing stuff at the wrestlers especially Nikolia Volkoff getting smacked in the face with an object leaving the ring. Cyndi Lauper also makes an appearance as Wendi Richters manager and even got into some fisticuffs with The Fabulous Moolah. Another highlight was Andre The Giant V Big John Stud in the $15,000 slam match.

Wrestlemania 2

Boxing, cage fight and a ton of special guests turned the excitement levels up another notch from the first wrestlemania. First off we get Ray Charles singing America The Beautiful before the action kicks off. The event was spread across three different venues in three different cities Vince McMahon and Susan Saint James where the main commentators Vince was pumped up but Susan Saint James had no charisma what so ever so it was a nice change when JesseThe Body Ventura Gorilla Monsoon and guest commentator Elvira take over. There was some great chemistry between Elvira and Jesse Ventura she took to it like a busty duck to water

Roddy Piper took on Mr T in a boxing match Mr T had the great Joe Frazier in his corner it didnt take long before the dirty tricks took over this match.
Then a 20 man battle royal with half superstars and half NFL players featuring The Refrigerator Big John Stud Andre The Giant Hillbilly Jim The Killer Bees and the Hart Foundation.

Then the love triangle between Macho Man Randy Savage The Lovely Elizabeth and George The Animal Steel continues. The Animals infatuation with Elizabet was his downfall in this fight plus a little cheating from Macho Man.

A tag team title fight between The Dream Team and The British Bulldogs with Ozzy in a lovely pink suit was in the corner of the Bulldogs Mean Gene made a big mistake when he was asked why is Ozzy there and he said because he's from Manchester where the Bulldogs are from

The main even was Hulk Hogan v King Kong Bundy in a cage match good match but the highlight was when Hogan got his hands on Bobby The Brain Heenan inside the cage.

Wrestlemania 3

Kicking off the night we have a rendition of America The Beautiful from Aretta Franklin.

Highlights for me Ricky The Dragon Steamboat taking the belt from Macho Man. Alice Cooper and Jake The Snake torturing Jimmy Mouth Of The South Hart with Damien after Jake was cheated out of the win by The Honky Tonk Man.

The main even between Hogan and Andre was only ok it felt a bit rushed but the fight that stole the show for me had to be.........

King Kong Bundy v Hillbilly Jim and 4 midgets it was hilarious especially watching King Kong Bundy body slam one of the midgets

Wrestlemania 3 once again ramped up the action with matches getting more and more athletic with more high risk moves and a faster pace.

Next stop Canada for the first Royal Rumble

Wrestlemania 4

Bit of a different lay out this time around with a knock out tournament to decide who would become the world champion with the big draw Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant but with Million Dollar Man man involved no match went to plan.

In between the tournament matches was some tag team action with The Islanders v The British Bull Dogs reunited with their dog Matilda after the Islanders and The Weasel kidnapped her. Great fight especially when Bobby Heenan came out in a dog attack suit

Next Tag Team match was Demolition v Strike force for the tag team belt. I always loved Axe and Smash and the devious Mr Fuji always up to no good. As usual when a belt is on the line cheating is always a factor especially when you manager has a walking cane

Highlights in the tournament Jake the Snake V Ravishing Rick Rude and those amazing tights great match evenly matched the whole was through fast and exciting apart from too much pelvic trusting from Rick Rude

Main event Macho Man v Million Dollar Man with Andre and Hulk Hogan in the corners. Such an iconic moment when Macho Man held the Lovely Elizabeth up on his shoulders with the Championship belt.
