Basically, WWE booked the L.A. Memorial Coliseum (capacity 92,500) for WrestleMania VII and announced such at WrestleMania VI. For a year, they maintained that WrestleMania was being held at the Coliseum. When the planned main event of Hulk Hogan vs Sgt Slaughter failed to set the world alight, the ticket sales for the event were very poor. On the day of the show, WWE moved the show to the next door L.A. Memorial Sports Arena (capacity, approx. 17,000), claiming that there had been a bomb threat due to the whole Slaughter, pro-Iraqi angle.
Thing is, even the Sports Arena wasn't full.
