Not so much from this opening shot, but if u watch the entire event, throughout u c shoots of many empty seats up top. Also, they left the floor totally vacant in some areas with no chairs unlike WM3. If u notice wen they show a wide shot of the floor, back toward where the goal posts wud b, there r a couple of entire areas of just concrete where chairs should have been. They did this to try and fill the upper decks. Before going on air, Vince told the camera crew who ever got shots of the empt
Great music, wwe and tna wrestlers ALL have crap music now... At least there are bands still doing the good stuff like these guys- maineventband.bandcamp.com
this was when wrestlemania was about who could wrestle and put the best show not entertain kids by u cant see me shit the best wrestlers in history are mostly legends except for a few who sill wrestle today this was back before undertaker really had a streak he just whooped ass.
THE WORRRRRLLLLDDDD WRESSSSTLIIIING FEDERATIONNNNN PROUDLEY PRESENTS WRESTLEMMANIAAAAA ...THE WWF CHAMPION RIC FLAIR DEFENDS THE TITLE AGAINST THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDER THE MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE, THE MANIACAL SIDDDDD JUSTICCCEEE GOES 1 ON 1 WITH THE IMMORTALLLL HULKKKKK HOGANNNN IN WHAT COULD PROVE TO BE HULK HOGAN'S FAREWELL MATCH IT'S A DOUBLE MAIN EVENT IT'S WRESTEMANIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
I think if you just replace the card from 1992 Summerslam and put it in this event, I think that would have been perfect. Except I would have made Bret Hart the IC at Wrestlemania facing Shawn Michaels, beating him so The British Bulldog could face Bret at SummerSlam and so you could still have Shawn vs. Bret in a what would have been an epic rematch for Survivor Series 1992 for Bret's WWF Tittle.........but your card is something I would pay any money to see.........
Wrestling of this era is often praised for its antics, yet people criticize the same company for booking the likes of John Cena into modern events instead of other Superstars. What about Hulk Hogan of this era? It's his 8th year in a row that he highlights WrestleMania! Why must it mostly be about extraordinarily powerful wrestlers?
at 1:19 they cut something out .... after Gorilla says "in addition to the Double Main Event"...after that he would say "All the gold in the World Wrestling Federation is on the line, as Intercontinental Champion Rowdy Roddy Piper defends the belt against former Champion Bret "hitman" ... and pauses and asks what Bobby Heenan is doing and Bobby talks about the big centerfold of Elizabeth, Flair is going to put up on the big screen; then Gorilla mentions about the Tag Belts up for grabs
Macho Man Randy Savage (Former WWE Legend) passes away at age 58 from a car accident in Florida earlier today, apparently he had a heart attack while driving and smashed into a tree.
i can see vince announcing wrestlemania 28 next year: the wwe champion miz flair defends the title against the number one contender, the john morrison. the maniacal snookie shore goes one on one with the undertaker, in what could prove to be the undertakers farewell match
when wrestling was actually exciting and worth watching, now its just all been there done that bought the t-shirt shit. Its all been done before only people that like it now its daft kids not old enough to remember wrestling in its heyday. once it went to wwe wrestling died. lets face it we will never see anything like what it was back then at Wrestlemania 8 but at least I was a young kid at the time and remember the excitement and amazement I felt watching wwf
Why are the intros so bad now a days but yet all the intros to the PPVs in the 90's are 10 times better than what they have today. If they could go back and get the graphics from this and just update it with current matches than it would be ok. This should be the only intro for WM or at least every PPV.
those were the days....i get excited when i watch this, it makes me want to watch the event....todays production just doesn't make me feel that way, its more like a "who cares" type reaction...sad really but at least we have the tapes and the memories!...OLD SCHOOL IS COOL
i love the CGI graphics they did in this intro better then the bullshit graphics they use now. The last good CGI graphics they used that I found acceptable and not overly done was Wrestlemania 26 which had some class to it.
damn this wrestlemania is 2 underrated in the history books this is probably the most least mentioned wrestlemania ever if only just imagine if 75,000+ came 2 see savage vs flair n hogan vs sid just imagine how many would have 2 see hogan vs flair the place would have gone nuts with nwa,wcw,wwf,hogan and flair fans 2 of the most known wrestlers from the 80s it might have been bigger than hogan vs andre man that would have been historical
My dad and I drove four hours to go to WM8, meanwhile, at home, my mom recorded it off PPV. My VHS copy has my event ticket taped to the front of the box. Great memories!!
@GeraldB526 Storyline wise, Hogan was feuding with Sid and they gave the title shot to Savage so Hulk can wrestle Sid. In real life they had to ditch Hogan vs Flair because the steriod scandal was going on and Vince told Hogan to take time off so everything can cool down.
@GeraldB526 Well, Hogan had to leave, and everyone knows Vince would've put the belt back on Hogan. It would've made no sense to put it on him if he was leaving. Besides putting Savage in the match made it more better.
@DrFubarProzak I don't give a damn wat u is!! U a bitch, u smell like ass, and ur definitely a nigga!!! Now Idk who da hell u r, but when I found out I'ma look 4 u and kick yo' white ass, u caucasian son of a bitch!!!!!!
@GeraldB526 HAHAHA...threats from a little scumbag nigger...oh I'm so scared. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah..I am white and I am proud to be white. Fuck you nigger.
people dont seem 2 give the credit this wrestlemania deserves but i think thats because hogan n flair didnt face off in the main event not that savage n flair match wasnt good i think that was a great match but i think flair vs hogan would have been much better
@Stabesy dont u mean this cena bs they have thease days cuz tha rock is tha man an if your cena fan ima haft too beat u down an put u in tha hospital 4real u fckn bitchboy
What was missing? I have the tapped live version that aired in the U.K and ive noticed that theres bits n pieces missing all over the place i hadn't seen before
