WrestleMania 2

Wrestlemania II (1986) was shot at three different locations (bad idea). Vincent K. McMahon tried to be different and it nearly killed the series. Whenever you try to do an event such as this one in three seperate events, the quality is going to be anywhere from average to very poor. But hey you can't fault the man for trying. Most notable from this event is the great "boxing" match between Mr. T and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper's promos are worthy enough to sit through the rest of the matches. Mr. T is slouch either. The rest of the card is a mixed bag. For sideshow viewing you have the wrestlers/football players battle royale, the Funk Brothers in action (Terry and Dory jr. a.k.a. Hoss) and as always George "The Animal' Steele. Hulk Hogan (juiced to the gills) is locked in a brutal cage match with King Kong Bundy. Wrestling wise it's better than Wrestlemania I but it has it's boring and dull matches as well.

For big fans of 80's wrestling.

Whole event saved by a few performances, "WrestleMania 2" isn't really a fun experience for the most of the time. Me and my friend watched it and were not amused for a large portion of the run time. Especially cringe inducing and boring to watch was a boxing match nobody asked for. While you can simulate wrestling, you can't really do the same with box. I give it 6/10, and that's only because of the main event and Hogans charisma as an performer. Without that, it would have been an 5/10...

Wrestlemania 2 was a fantastic show!

You had all top Wrestlers from the Golden era of Wrestling. It's definitely one of my favorites and it's highly recommended and a very enjoyable show! And I'm actually watching it now!!😀👍

A very lackluster show. I remember being like "What a show!" Back when I first saw it. Well 17 years later and I really dont like any of the card at all. Well thats what happens when you turn from Mark to Smark.

The Funks vs. JYD and Tito match was suprinsgly good, while Match of the night honours go to Bulldogs vs. Valentine/Beefcake.

Not recommended.

BTW, if you want to chat about the good old days of wrestling just drop me an e-mail!

Sequels are rarely as good as the original this is an example of that. A year on from the show where Mr Vincent k McMahon gambled it all on his one off show. This feels way less of a gamble and 💵 cashing in on the year before.
