Of course, an event is not made by its main event alone, and this is a great wrestling card that earns its 5-star rating. I won't go into detail on every match here, but here are some of the highlights:
-Mr. Perfect continuing his great brand of wrestling against Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. -The Hart Foundation taking on The Bolsheviks with some hilarious pre-match comedy featuring Steve Allen. -An interesting semi-heel turn from newly-branded "Macho King" Randy Savage by pairing up with Sensational Sherri instead of the traditional Elizabeth. -Any Big Boss Man match (this time vs. Akeem) is usually pretty entertaining because he is such a great character.
There are no terrible matches in this entire event. They are all entertaining in some facet or another. The commentary from Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse "The Body" Ventura helps set the perfect tone once again.
Then, "Hulk vs. Warrior" blows the lid off! This was one of the most anticipated battles of all- time, and it pretty much lives up to the billing. Neither big man is a particularly talented wrestler, but the hype is just so big and each man plays his part perfectly.
This is the best Wrestlemania in the series so far, just ahead of the tournament from W4.
Looking back now (I was 5 at the time), although I loved both Warrior and Hogan, I think I enjoyed Warrior more because of his mystique. Hogan was the branded hero who weilded an impressive public image. The Ultimate Warrior, on the other hand, was a masked man of few words - an out-of-the-limelight hero for a different audience.
This rivalry was so exciting as a kid because of this duality in me duking it out for each combatant. I had a place for both of them. Because there was bloodshed too in this long, heavy battle, the stakes were high - at least to me as a kid. On a similar note, because of Hogan's defeat, this made him more human - I remember feeling kind of sorry for him.
All of these emotions at play in the juvenile boy's soap opera made Wrestlemania VI such a great time to witness this game.
This event took place in April 1990 and for the first time in WrestleMania history two good guys fought for the belt. Hogan and the Warrior battled in an explosive match for over twenty minutes in a match that could have gone either way. Those two guys were sweating at the end of the match. And who can forget the crowd? Just like WrestleMania III where Andre the Giant fought Hogan the crowd cheered like they were crazy. The electricity in the building was amazing as Hogan and the Warrior tore into each other.
If the main event isn't enough for you there were plenty of other great matches such as The Rockers VS The Orient Express, Tito Santana VS The Barbarian, Roddy Piper VS Bad News Brown and many other great matches. My favourite match on the undercard pitted tag team champions Demolition VS The Colossal Connection.
A smashing event!
¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaOriginally, WWF owner Vince McMahon wanted the main event to be Hulk Hogan vs. Zeus for the WWF Championship. According to Tom Lister Jr., these plans were nixed when Hogan refused to drop the title to Zeus, thus causing The Ultimate Warrior to be placed into the main event slot with Hogan instead.
- Citas
Jesse Ventura: Sean Connery was named "Sexiest Man in the World," and he has my hairstyle.
Gorilla Monsoon: I know that.
Jesse Ventura: You know how I can't miss in Hollywood, Gorilla? I got Paul Newman's eyes, I got Kirk Douglas's chin, and Robert Duvall's haircut. How can I lose?
Gorilla Monsoon: But what do you have of your own, Jess?
Jesse Ventura: [long pause] ... And here comes Brutus.
- Versiones alternativasThe DVD version edited out any reference to "WWF". The DVD version also replaced the entrance themes for a number of wrestlers. This was likely done because of song rights. They were:
- Koko B. Ware: "Bird" replaced with "Piledriver", which was his theme from 1987 to 1989.
- Dusty Rhodes: "American Dream" replaced with the theme to Wheel of Fortune (1988).
- Demolition (Ax and Smash)
- The Orient Express (Sato and Tanaka)
- Big Boss Man: "Hard Time" replaced with the song that eventually became his music when he returned in 1998 to 2002.
- Akeem: "Jive Soul Bro" replaced with generic music.
