SHOW OUTLINE
This Week in Wrestling History (music?)
Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage for the Intercontinental Championship.
Considered one of the best wrestling matches in history by many.
Roddy Piper vs Brety Hart for the IC Championship
Rick Flair vs. Randy Savage for WWF Championship
Money Inc vs. Natural Disasters for WWF Tag Championship
Legion of Doom was supposed to challenge for the title, but Hawk was suspended due to drug use so Natural Disasters subbed in.
Undertaker’s second wrestlemania against Jake “the Snake” Roberts
Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice: Hogan wins by DW when Sid Justice’s manager, Harvey Whippleman interferes. The finish to Justice/Hogan was supposed to end when Hogan hit a leg drop on Justice and Papa Shango runs to the ring and break up the pin, causing the DQ. However, Gorilla Monsoon, sitting in Gorilla, was late in cuing Papa Shango to head down to the ring and Justice had to improvise by kicking out of the leg drop and using Whippleman for the DQ. Papa Shango and Sid Justice beat on Hogan after the match until the Ultimate Warrior made a surprise return, helping Hogan drive Justice and Shango away.
Undertaker vs. Kane
Pete Rose came out as special ring announcer. Insulted crowd and Kane. Kane gives Rose a tombstone piledriver, starting a three year Wrestlemania tradition where he tried to gain revenge and was again taken out by Kane.
Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Shawn Michaels when Mike Tyson, serving as special ring enforcer, turned on Michaels and D-Generation X, to help Austin win the WWF Championship.
Often regarded as the greatest professional wresting pay-per-view event ever produced.
