That's right. Wrestlemania 8 had the potential to be the definative Wrestlemania, the very best PPV ever.
The PPV I booked contains wrestlers worked in the WWF during this years Wrestlemania and for one reason or another, weren't used on the card or weren't booked in a match.
Take a look at how I booked it and gimme your thoughts. Personally, I can't think of a Wrestlemania past or present that can compete with this one.
Main Event:
WWF World Championship Match:
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair(Champion) vs. Hulk Hogan
Winner-Hulk Hogan via pinfall. Hogan has to go over as the face against the hated Flair and he had a program that was started at Survivor Series and is considered to be the all time dream match for the time. I think that there's never been a bigger main event in Wrestling History and Flair could deliever a GREAT match.
Steel Cage Grudge Match:
"Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Winner: Randy Savage via pinfall following a flying elbow smash off the top of the cage. I've never felt that they got real closure with this feud and it's one of the hottest in history. It would be a great match and a great lead-up and would be great to finish the feud in an old fashioned cage match. These two could've anchored the undercard!
Casket Match:
The Undertaker vs. The Ultimate Warrior
Winner: The Undertaker. Warrior was at the card and ran in during Hogan's match and had a program going with Roberts and Taker and just didn't have anyhting going at the time. This would've been a violent and heated match and a great rub to the Deadman and would've given Warrior a real meaningful feud.
Intercontinental Title Match:
Roddy Piper(Champion) vs. Bret Hart
Winner: Bret Hart. This is the only match from the original card I'd have left as is. They had a great match and I wouldn't change a thing!
World Tag Team Title Elimination Match:
Money Inc(Champions). vs, LOD vs. Nasty Boys vs. The Natural Disasters
Winners: LOD. All of these guys were on the card, but none of them had anything meaningful to do. This could've gotten LOD over as the biggest faces in the WWF and having them eliminate all three teams and really dominate, it would have been a great tag title match. Have the final two be Money Inc and LOD and have the finish from Summerslam 92 and it would rival the best tag matches of this era.
Taped Fist Match:
Big Bossman vs The Mountie
Winner: Bossman via KO. Again, they were on the card but not used well and they had an ongoing feud. Give them a gimmick match on the biggest card and let Bossman kick the shit outta Mountie. The crowd would really dig seeing it and maybe Mountie gets some colour and we've got a helluva match.
#1 Contender for Intercontinental Title:
"The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith vs. Shawn Michaels
Winner: Davey Boy Smith. The perfect curtain jerker, this would be used to setup the Hart/Smith Summerslam and Davey and HBK have great matches together. Making Shawn look like a great heel and getting Davey over would be a shoein and given time, could've stolen the show!
Jimmy Snuka vs.Papa Shango
Winner:Papa Shango Both guys are weird and Papa needed to get over as a heel and killing the Superfly in a good, quick match would get him some heat. Snuka could do some great spots to get the crowd to their feet and Shango could remind them how bad and scary he is.
Rick Martel vs. Tito Santana
Winner: Rick Martel. One of the longest running feuds in WWF history at the time, these two could've had a really solid and well worked match. Both guys could work their asses of and the crowd would love it. With lots of faces going over, Martel could get the crowd's ire with a Boston Crab and interference from Sherri.
New Foundation vs. Beverly Bros.
Winners: The Beverly Bros. Two entertaining, fastpaced teams could deliever a very solid bout and do some really great moves and work the crowd to make them believe they got their money's worth. Owen could strut his stuff and the Beverlys' were a force to reckon with. Should've happened.
Hope you guys enjoyed. Man, I wish this PPV had gone down like this.
