RATE - Wrestlemania 1
Hey all.

With 21 Days till Wrestlemania I thought we could take alook back and Rate the previous 21 Wrestlemanias.

Yeah this is another Rate Thread. But come on, the only other one running at the momment is the Tag team one and that is only updated once every fullmoon. Plus it's only 21 days so whats the big deal?

Anyway we Begin with the Original


Just to let you know what Happened
Tito Santana def. The Executioner

David Sammartino w/ Bruno Sammartino vs. Brutus Beefcake w/ Luscious Johnny Valiant went to a no contest

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat def. Matt Borne

King Kong Bundy w/ Jimmy Hart def. Special Delivery Jones

Bodyslam Challenge
Andre the Giant def. Big John Studd

Intercontinental Championship
Junkyard Dog def. Greg “The Hammer” Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart via countout

World Tag Team Championship
Nikolai Volkoff & Iron Sheik w/ Classy Freddie Blassie def. Mike Rotundo & Barry Windham to become new champions

Women’s Championship
Wendi Richter w/ Cyndi Lauper def. Leilani Kai w/ Fabulous Moolah to become new champion

Main Event
Hulk Hogan & Mr. T w/ “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka def. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper & "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff w/ Cowboy Bob Orton
----------------------------------------------------------

What did you think of it?
ratings from 1 to 10.

7.5 from me.

Abit dark and depressing looking watching it now.

Steamboat/Borne was a good match

Sammartino and Beefcake sucked.

The womens Match was enjoyable.

The Main event was acceptable.

Still not bad for the first ever Mania.

7.8

The Main Event was awesome. The crowd was hot and the finish was real cool.

Other then that, I liked the tag title match and Andre/Studd

I still cant believe like Skippord ive never seen this, but from the highlights ive seen it deserves at least an 8, simply because it started something that gave so many memories. If it had been a flop there might not have been another

I give it a solid 8.2.

I liked it, was my first wrestling tape I ever owned. It was quite dark and there seemed to be like a ton of people and stuff packing the outside of the ring for some reason.

But hearing those scottish bagpipes and watching the man, Hot Rod walking down that aisle so cool and cocky, fuck yeah.

Had a couple pretty good matches, a few stinkers but it was mostly entertaining, and that is the main thing.

were rating the actual event, but since it was a groubreaking idea by vince, if it hadn't of been good the idea wouldnt have taken off and wrestlemania wouldn't have been what it is today, so for that reason alone it deserves at least a 7 or 8 imo hence my earlier rating

Just because it started it all doesn't mean it deserves a 10. I hadn't been born yet, so I couldn't have seen it live, but I have watched it a few times on tape, and although it was groundbreaking, its wasn't anything compared to what NWA Mid-Atlantic could've put on.

5 out of 10

Five out of a possible ten isn't bad necessarly, it just means that the event was average. It was what began it all which is the reason I gave it a 5 rather then a 4 or a 3. The atmosphere was great, Ventura and Monsoon really hyped it up like it was the greatest event of all time, which is what made it as good as it did. However, the fact that the World Championship wasn't defended at the event was a major bit of bullshit.

--Santana/Executioner was a pretty good opening bout.
--Sammartino/Beefcake was surprisingly good, fitting that Bruno was able to be out there on the WWF's biggest show, even if he didn't compete, something about Bruno in MSG is great.
--Steamboat/Borne was an average Steamboat match, which is a good match by most standards.
--Bundy/SD Jones was about a squash as squash could get.
--Andre/John Studd was slow and boring, if it weren't for Heenan ringside I would have fallen asleep.
--Volkoff & Sheik/Widham & Rotunda was an above average tag team match.
--Richter/Kai would have been good except for the fact I wanted to bludgen Cindi Lauper to death.
--Hogan & Mr. T/Orndorff & Piper had a big match atmosphere and was fitting for a main event... but not for a Wrestlemania. They should have just up Hogan/Piper for the World Title with Orndorff in Piper's corner and Mr. T in Hogan's. Despite all of that this match was the best on the show, and good enough.
