WrestleMania 1
The first-ever WrestleMania star-studded event was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1995. It pitted Hulk Hogan and Mr. T against Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper, with Muhammad Ali as the special guest referee.
The event witnessed Hulk Hogan and Mr. T defeat Orndorff and Piper with help from NFL legend William “Refrigerator” Perry. The event also featured the first-ever WrestleMania match between Ricky Steamboat and Matt Borne, with Steamboat coming out on top.
WrestleMania 2
The second edition of WrestleMania was held across three venues: the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York, Long Island; Rosemont Horizon in Chicago; and Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in California.
This edition had more celebrity appearances than any other, including Mr. T, who returned for a rematch against Piper; Cyndi Lauper, who managed Wendi Richter against Leilani Kai; and Liberace, who served as guest ring announcer alongside Elvira for a match between George Steele and Randy Savage.
Wrestlemania 5
This was one of the most exciting WrestleMania ever. It had a star-studded card with matches such as Hulk Hogan vs. Macho Man Randy Savage and Ted Dibiase vs. Jake Roberts, which were great matches.
This event also saw the birth of one of wrestling’s greatest tag teams, with Demolition taking on The Powers of Pain in a fantastic encounter.
The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan
The match itself might not have been anything special, it did feature one of the most iconic moments in modern wrestling history. Hogan turned babyface in front of 80,000 fans at Toronto’s SkyDome by hitting The Rock with his trademark leg drop and then nailing him with his heel finisher, “the big boot.”
Bottom Line
The most iconic wrestling events are the ones that feature the biggest and brightest stars in the business. These events are a must-watch for any fan of the sport. The storylines, the characters, and the actions will live on forever in this wild world of professional wrestling.
