WrestleMania IV

A knock competition is something I think 🤔 could make a great annual tournament and could feature different titles each year depending on what is vacant at the time. This being so different from wrestlemania formula that was built to a high at wrestlemania 3 does not feel like it builds on that instead trying something new.

Overall Mark: C+

Ya know, I use to love this show, but on further review...it was pretty damn boring! Way to many matches, and not really any good ones. The World Title Tourny is cool idea, but it lead to alot of quick matches, instead of any worthwhile longer matches. Do yourself a favor, don't bother with this one (unless your a big Randy Savage fan, and I am) But I still didn't care to much for this show.

This is my favorite Wrestlemania. And that's saying a lot due to the fact I'm a big Hulk Hogan fan, and he didn't win the tournament. But with all the action it's hard not to love this event.

Big 20 man battle royale got things started nicely. Also featuring a 6 man tag, tag team title match, Intercontinental match, grudge match, and the entire tournament, this was a Wrestlemania to remember!

I remember them hyping the Hogan/Andre match BIG TIME prior to this show,only to see them fight to a lame no contest. If that wasn't bad enough,they botched the chance to have Savage/Steamboat in the second round (though semi-final's would have been more fitting),instead we were witness to Savage/Valentine and Savage/OMG. Even though Savage was obviously winning the tournament,the focus was still ALL about Hogan,which angered me then as it does now,being Macho was one of my all time favorites. If your a Macho fan,this is worth a watch,as he could really go back then. If your not,you probably wouldn't get as much out of it.
