1) The WWF Championship was contested in a tournament; a feat that wouldn't be duplicated until 10 years later (Survivor Series 1998 was the last to hold a tournament to crown a new Champion)
2) Hulk Hogan WAS NOT wrestling in the main event. Randy Savage and Ted Dibiase wrestled a beautiful match that night; and Savage became the NEW WWF Champion.
Sadly, Hogan would hog Savage's spotlight for a whole year until WrestleMania V.
After WMIII they just couldnt top that. But like someone said. WMIV was entertaining. But the realy winnder of IV was Monsoon and Ventura. If it wasnt for them IV would have been a total flop. Wrestling today should really look back to the glory days
I like how BASIC the ring entrances were for WrestleMania 4 and 5 were.
No HD sets, no titantrons, no HD crap to give you a seizure. Just an entrance, the WrestleMania logo, the WWF symbol below. One of the reason why the Hulkamania era will forever stay as No. 1.
Man they sure do bring back a lot of good memories, today's wrestling for the most part is a complete waste of fucking time, they don't use the proper music anymore like they did back then from the original composers, now days most of the theme songs are from stupid modern pop/rock.rap bands. WWE went started going down the hill in year 2000 and it keeps getting worse everyday, WWE is on life support!
Are u guys serious about this being one of the best wrestlemania. Most of the matches were lame. The crowd sucked. They were not into it. A few cheers here n there. I was bored to death. The only good thing was the macho man getting the belt. Side note the million dollar man is one the most under rated wrestler ever. That guy puts on a show..
Yupp, the ol school Rock n Wrestling was done with largely. After the pinnacle of WM3, retirement of Piper, throughout 1987, it was just a cool down period to this new transition period of being more over the top more gimmicky. Until about WM8, when Hogan left in 92, and Bret took over, that was also the period of the real comical characters before it started to get more serious (pre-attitude in 1996).
really? I was there in Trump Plaza, and I was a big Bret Hart fan before he was really a fan favorite. I'm happy I got to see his switch to a babyface. But, man I've got to say, this, in my opinion was the most predictable WM. This and WM 7. I was there, and I think it was a bit lame. Still better than the "wrestling" of today, I can't even watch that trash.
Wrestling of the 80's and 90's the absolute best. Now Vince just sold his soul for ratings. His father would turn in his grave.
This was the first Wrestlemania I ordered off PPV as cable only came to our area just that previous summer. Guess what the cost of the PPV was? $19.95.
@erok8150 Greatest wrestling ever seen? Where you on crack when you watched this? It was garbage on the highest level. WM 5 was alittle better but still WM4 and WM5 are considered two of the worst big name events in the history of wreslting.
@erok8150 i agree this years wrestlemania was a bore fest i am so happy i watched it for free instead of being ripped off 65 bucks i miss the good old days of pro wrestling all we have is Ring of honor thats wrestling and i do mean wrestling
2 things that I loved about WrestleMania IV:
1) The WWF Championship was contested in a tournament; a feat that wouldn't be duplicated until 10 years later (Survivor Series 1998 was the last to hold a tournament to crown a new Champion)
2) Hulk Hogan WAS NOT wrestling in the main event. Randy Savage and Ted Dibiase wrestled a beautiful match that night; and Savage became the NEW WWF Champion.

This was the early days of the WTWIW Era.
-Which gave birth to the Big 4
-Midcarders and jobbers like Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase were getting the top card push.
-New stars like the Rockers,Hacksaw Jim Duggan,Bad News Brown,Demolition and Big Boss Man were coming in.
