WRESTLEMANIA


Wrestlemania, the granddaddy of them all when it comes to Wrestling Events, is the greatest spectacle for Professional Wrestling. Going 21 years strong, Wrestlemania set the precedent as the Superbowl of Wrestling with its first card in 1984. The event showcases the best wrestling has to offer along with various celebrities and musical performances. The brainchild of Vince McMahon Jr., Wrestlemania continues to be a huge success in its 21st year. 
The first WrestleMania was held by the World Wrestling Federation on March 31, 1985 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.The main event was a tag-team match between the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan and Mr.T, accompanied by Jimmy Snuka against the team of Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, who were accompanied by Cowboy Bob Orton. The financial and critical success of the event secured the company's status as the most successful promoter in the United States, rising above competitors such as the National Wrestling Alliance and American Wrestling Association.Wrestle Mania 2 was held the following year and took place in three venues across the country. The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale,New York, the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont,Illinois, and the Los Angeles Memirial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California each featured multiple matches that led up to the lead main event which saw the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan defeat the challenger King Kong Bundy in a steel cage match.
