What If #5: Wrestlemania 1 flops

08-11-2010, 08:22 PM

In 1985 wrestling as we know it changed forever. Vince McMahon essentially staked his company on the success of Wrestlemania 1. Reportedly though, Turner paid in the 6 figures for Vince to leave his station, and this paid for Wrestlemania. Nonetheless, Wrestlemania changed the way companies made money.

What if Wrestlemania flops?
Does the WWF last?
Would PPV's rise to prominance be delayed?
Where would Vince have gone from there.

Discuss.
