10. Simply because it was the first WrestleMania that I ever saw the build-up too as a young mark, and I loved it. Things just seemed so exciting then. I loved the look of the outdoor arena in Caesars Palace car park. I was so excited because I started watching seriously around, or just after, the time of WrestleMania 8, so this was my first chance to see the legendary Hulk Hogan wrestle live on TV (I say "live", I think it was first broadcast the following afternoon in the UK.)
The debut of Jim Ross, who I knew was from WCW by their magazines but I had never actually seen before. The anticipation of KNOWING that Tatanka was going to win the I-C gold (I was devastated)!!! How the hell would Bret Hart be able to beat the massive Royal Rumble winner, Yokozuna??? Not just Hogan, but Beefcake was back too! And Jimmy Hart had turned! WOW!
And that damn clown had brutally attacked Crush. Boy, was he going to take a kicking!
LOL, oh to be a mark again! Well, for sentimental reasons mainly, and for the glitz and ceremony, I give this a 10. I would've gone for a 9 probably but this event is taking such a critical pasting I thought I'd defend it (although it may be too late).
