[mike adamle]

WrestleMania was the first WrestleMania, and the only WrestleMania to not have a number associated with it.

[NormanSmiley]

[Nicky Fives]

the European Championship & Light Heavyweight Championship both made their debuts at Wrestlemania 14, with both champions (Triple H & Taka Michinoku) retaining....

WrestleMania 25 was not the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.

[NormanSmiley]

WrestleMania 25 was not the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.

amen to that!

[XL]

HHH has the record number of loses at Mania. Vincent has never won a match at Mania despite competing in 4.

[NormanSmiley]

owen hart left mania three times as tag champ all times with a different partner

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sid has shit his pants in more Wrestlemania main events than anyone in history.

[KyleEmmott]

amen to that! How's that?

[BollywoodSingh]

How's that?

The 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania was Wrestlemania 26....as Wrestlemania 26 took place 25 years after the first Wrestlemania. By WWE's logic, if WM 25 is the 25th anniversary, then WM 1 was the first anniversary.

[FourFifty]

In the WM25 dvd, in the pre-show DVD extra match, you can hear me scream "I LOVE YOU GOLDUST!"

[Tazz Dan]

Paul Orndorff is the only man to go from the main event one year to the opening match the next

I believe Chris Jericho is the only man to open one Wrestlemania and close the next.

[Fox]

--The only wrestlers to be in the final match at their FIRST WrestleMania:
- Hulk Hogan WM1
- Mr. T WM 1
- Roddy Piper WM 1
- Paul Orndorff WM 1
- Ted DiBiase WM 4
- Sgt. Slaughter WM 7
- Sid WM 8
- Yokozuna WM 9
- Lawrence Taylor WM 11
- Brock Lesnar WM 19

--There has only ever been one steel cage match in all 28 WrestleManias.

--WrestleMania 2000's 9-match card featured only one singles match, and it was a Thong Catfight.

--Chris Benoit's World Heavyweight Title victory at WrestleMania 20 was the first time that the main event ended in a submission. WrestleManias 22, 23, and 24 have all ended with a submission victory.

--WrestleMania XIX was the first time that the two wrestlers in the main event (Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle) were competing under their real birth names.

[Fox]

I believe Chris Jericho is the only man to open one Wrestlemania and close the next.

I believe you are right, but on the opposing side, Paul Orndorff main evented WrestleMania I and then curtain jerked WrestleMania II.

[Droford]

WrestleMania was the first WrestleMania, and the only WrestleMania to not have a number associated with it.

I dont know if Ive heard them mention its Wrestlemania 29 or not yet..its not on the logo.

[James Diesel]

WrestleMania XIX was the first and only to be held in the state of Washington.
The first under the WWE brand name.
The first to take place following the brand extension.

AND the first live event attended by James Diesel

[Bad News Gertner]

Michael Cole has the same amount of singles victories at Wrestlemania as the Big Show.

[Road Warrior]

John Cena and The Undertaker are the only two men to win both the World Heavyweight Chapmpionship and the WWE/WWF title at WrestleMania.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Wrestlemania V was the only time two managers had matches on the card

WrestleMania has been associated with Donald Trump and/or his properties on 3 occasions:

- WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V were both hosted at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, NJ.

- Donald Trump himself backed Bobby Lashley against Mr. McMahon’s selected opponent of Umaga at WrestleMania 23 in a “Battle of the Billionaires” (or Billion Hairs... :shifty:) in which either Mr. McMahon or Trump would have their head shaven bald by the winning superstar.

In the first 28 editions, 1,178,434 fans have attended a live WrestleMania event combined.

The highest ever attendance at a WrestleMania is 93,173 at WrestleMania III.
The lowest ever attendance at a WrestleMania is 16,158 at WrestleMania VII.

[XL]

Shouldn't that be "93,173"?

[DAMN iNATOR]

It’s never been disproved that that was the actual attendance figure for the show, so I’m gonna go with NO.

[Shisen Kopf]

So, just one then? (III was in Pontiac :p)

Yep I didn't go to 3 b/c I wasn't old enough to drive. I think I could have driven but hey, damn parents!

[DAMN iNATOR]

They probably just thought you were too drunk.

[loopydate]

Shawn Michaels is the only wrestler to work the opening match at three straight Manias (VII-IX)

[Tazz Dan]

I brought that up in another thread :mad:

[KaosDarksol]

In the WM25 dvd, in the pre-show DVD extra match, you can hear me scream "I LOVE YOU GOLDUST!"

Fourfifty loves Goldust. I also own this DVD and still have yet to check if this is true even though I have known it for quite some time

[NormanSmiley]

wrestlemania IV had 48 in ring competitors

[James Steele]

Rosemont Horizon and Allstate Arena are the same building. Allstate just bought the naming rights years ago.

[Bad News Gertner]

HHH made racist remarks about Booker T and proceeded to squash him

[James Steele]

HHH made racist remarks about Booker T and proceeded to squash him

...and?

[James Diesel]

And had it not been for the Miller Lite Catfight girls, it would've been the most boring match of that WrestleMania

[James Steele]

I found the finish extremely dramatic and the Ric Flair involvement in the match was masterful psychology. Triple H even busted out the Indian Deathlock.

[Bad News Gertner]

It was pretty boring James Steele. Even for a HHH match.

[James Diesel]

It was just one of those matches even the Indian Deathlock couldn't save. And I don't necessarily think it was to any fault of HHH's. Hell, it could've been because of Booker T. It was just a high-caliber match with very little interest going in and coming out of it.

[Bad News Gertner]

Because you knew without a doubt HHH wasn't putting Booker T over.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

I went through a very long period of hating HHH and that match was the peak. I know people can defend it by saying he was selling the effects of the match but did he really have to wait 4 minutes before pinning Booker after the pedigree?

[James Steele]

Well duh. He had 5 runs with the WCW World Title and look what it did for them. Smart move by Vince.

[James Steele]

I went through a very long period of hating HHH and that match was the peak. I know people can defend it by saying he was selling the effects of the match but did he really have to wait 4 minutes before pinning Booker after the pedigree?

It was like 10 seconds.

[James Steele]

Triple H pulled off red tights better than Booker T. too!

Remember how prestigious he made the TNA Legends Championship? Made it so prestigious that they renamed it after he dropped it.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

During the Chicago Street Fight at WrestleMania 13, you can briefly see a young Colt Cabana take a swing at Road Warrior Hawk.

[Vastardikai]

CM Punk is the first Superstar to make his Wrestlemania debut as an extra & go on to defend the WWF/E title at another Wrestlemania.

DDP is the first Superstar to make his Wrestlemania debut as an extra & go on to win a title at another Wrestlemania

[Tazz Dan]

HBK and Bret hold the record for the longest mania bout.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

It was like 10 seconds.

Yeah, it was an exaggeration. It was still unnecessary though!

I know you're a huge HHH fan, but it was probably the lowest point in his career. At least Katie Vick was funny

[Joesgonnakillyou]

By low point I meant the feud, I just remembered his Scott Steiner matches but that's definately not his fault. whereas the booker feud could have been

[NormanSmiley]

the million dollar belt was only defended at WM6

[Corndad]

Wrestlemania 1 was the only Mania without a Championship Match.

Wrestlemania has happened 3 times on April 2nd. The most of any date.

[NormanSmiley]

Roddy went half black face at wrestlemania

[ddpBANG]

21 cities and 22 arenas in the U.S. and Canada have (or WILL have) played host to a WrestleMania event:

Host Cities
Houston, TX (2×)
Correct


Host Venues
Reliant Astrodome (2×)

Incorrect
Reliant Astrodome and Reliant Stadium are two different things.

[mike adamle]

Undertaker is currently undefeated at WrestleMania.

[Shisen Kopf]

Only one Rasslemania has been held on my birthday. WM13

[Heisenberg]

Tatanka v.s. Koko B Ware was never a Main Event @ Wrestlemania.

Tatanka never farted on an opponent @ Wrestlemania.

Tatanka never gave daft to Mr. Perfect @ Wrestlemania.

Tatanka never received fellatio from Jim Cornette @ Wrestlemania.

Tatanka never got the chance to headline a Wrestlemania due to his gambling addiction and love for the nose candy, Cocaine.

[Tazz Dan]

Tatanka never farted on an opponent @ Wrestlemania.

Prove this.

[itsmeJD]

I have never been to a Wrestlemania, and this depresses me.

[The Show Off]

Rob Van Dam has more wins without a loss than anyone not counting The Undertaker in Wrestlemania history at 4 - 0.

[The Show Off]

The only people to defend one of the two major championships in their first Wrestlemania match are, Sgt. Slaughter, Ric Flair, Diesel and Daniel Bryan.

[The Show Off]

Sid is the only person with more than one Wrestlemania match to main event every Wrestlemania he was a part of. (Wrestlemania VIII & Wrestlemania 13).

[The Show Off]

The WWF/E Heavyweight Championship has been defended in at every Wrestlemania but 2.

[James Steele]

The WWF/E Heavyweight Championship has been defended in at every Wrestlemania but 2.


WrestleMania I and ???

[Vastardikai]

Ric Flair has NEVER Main Evented Wrestlemania. Lawrence Taylor and Mr. T has.

[The Show Off]

WrestleMania I and ???

Wrestlemania IV.

Kind of a trick since technically the title wasn't "defended" since the title was vacant.

[Road Warrior]

The record for most matches at WM without a win belongs to Jeff Hardy and Goldust, who are both 0-5.

[johnsmagic]

Undertaker is currently undefeated at WrestleMania.

haha im suprised it took 61 replies before someone mentioned that

[Theo Dious]

Howard Finkel named Wrestlemania.

[CSL]

Sid is the only person with more than one Wrestlemania match to main event every Wrestlemania he was a part of. (Wrestlemania VIII & Wrestlemania 13).

techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnically false since he was at XI

[Theo Dious]

techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnically false since he was at XI

Yeah I believe that statement has to be changed to "every match he competed in."

[NormanSmiley]

Undertaker is 20-0 at mania, 2-0 as a heel, 18-0 as a face

[Ace]

Undertaker is 20-0 at mania, 2-0 as a heel, 18-0 as a face

3 - 0 as a heel. Heel at VII (Snuka), XV (Bossman) and X8 (Flair)

[Blakeamus]

I believe Chris Jericho is the only man to open one Wrestlemania and close the next.

Chris Beniot too?

[Blakeamus]

Well close and then open...

[RockySucks]

WrestleMania XV is the only time you'd see.
A public hanging.

[Ace]

Well close and then open...

Benoit was in MITB at WM21, which was half way through the card.

[Shadrick]

3 - 0 as a heel. Heel at VII (Snuka), XV (Bossman) and X8 (Flair)

...he was a heel against Bossman, who was also a rotten heel?

[Blakeamus]

Benoit was in MITB at WM21, which was half way through the card.

For some reason I thought MiTB did open WM 21...

[James Steele]

For some reason I thought MiTB did open WM 21...

It opened most years at WrestleMania.
