You have to remember, it wasn't about who was wrestling back then... it was about just being at Wrestlemania. Things were different back then. Plus, all three sites had some good matches (and you got to watch the other site's matches on giant video screens):

Nassau Coliseum:
  • "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs. "Magnificent" Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji went to a double countout
  • Randy "Macho Man" Savage w/ Elizabeth def. George “The Animal” Steele to retain his IC Title
  • Jake “The Snake” Roberts def. George Wells
  • Mr. T w/ Joe Frazier and the Haiti Kid def. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper w/ Cowboy Bob Orton by DQ in a Boxing Match
Rosemont Horizon:
  • Fabulous Moolah def. Velvet McIntyre to become the new Women's Champion
  • Corporal Kirchner def. Nikolai Volkoff w/ Classy Freddie Blassie in a Flag Match
  • Andre the Giant def. Jimbo Covert (Chicago Bears), Pedro Morales, Tony Atlas, Ted Arcidi, Harvey Martin (Dallas Cowboys), Dan Spivey, Hillbilly Jim, King Tonga, Iron Sheik, Ernie Holmes (Pittsburgh Steelers), Big John Studd, B. Brian Blair, Jumpin’ Jim Brunzell, Bill Fralic (Atlanta Falcons), Bret “Hit Man” Hart, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Russ Francis (San Francisco 49ers), Bruno Sammartino and William “Refrigerator” Perry (Chicago Bears) in the WWF/NFL Battle Royal
  • The British Bulldogs w/ Captain Lou Albano and Ozzy Osbourne def. The Dream Team, Brutus Beefcake & Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, w/ Luscious Johnny Valiant to become the new Tag Team Champions
Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena:
  • Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat def. Hercules
  • "Adorable" Adrian Adonis w/ Jimmy Hart def. Uncle Elmer
  • Terry & Hoss Funk w/ Jimmy Hart def. Tito Santana & Junkyard Dog
  • Hulk Hogan def. King Kong Bundy w/ Bobby “The Brain” Heenan to retain the WWF Championship in a Steel Cage Match
They could pull this off if they wanted. It worked the first time, why the hell not try it again?
