Fun Fact: Before we get into the show itself, let’s get into the reasons why Wrestlemania was set up the way it was. On February 5, 1988, NBC held a special prime time edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. This was on a Friday night, and it was called “The Main Event.” It was the first time in over 3 decades that Read the rest of this entry

Announcers: Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler
– We open with a video package highlighting last week’s battles between Randy Orton and Triple H. Out of that, we get a live look of the outside of Randy Orton’s house as we will hear from him later tonight. We then head into the area where Shawn Michaels comes out to chat about Wrestlemania. And this is where my computer froze, so I can’t deliver my usual play by play. He talks about his Wrestlemania track record and says that streaks are meant to be broken. A video of Undertaker’s Wrestlemania highlights interrupts Shawn and when the lights come up, Taker is Read the rest of this entry

The Hart Foundation YouTube/DailyMotion MixTape
Arguably one of the greatest tag teams of the ’80s. Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart and Jimmy Hart started from the bottom up and captured two WWF tag team championships in three years. Their battles with the Killer Bees, the Rougeau Brothers, the British Bulldogs and the Rockers are examples of tag team wrestling excellence. In 1997, the Hart Foundation became a stable and other members of the Hart family joined to compete against the best the WWF had to offer at the time as an anti-American group. By the end of 1997, Bret Hart was screwed out of the WWF title, Davey Boy Smith and Jim Neidhart left the WWF, Brian Pillman passed away, and Owen Hart hung around in the mid-card – ending another successful run of the Hart Foundation.
