Trivia
Moments before the event started, a group of Hell's Angels on Harley Davidson motorcycles managed to get past Madison Square Garden security, entering the backstage area through the loading dock, determined to see the show. Despite the event being completely sold out, WWF management accommodated their request, and brought in a few extra chairs for them.

Goofs
The match between King Kong Bundy and S.D. Jones is said to have set a record of 9 seconds for the shortest match in WWF history. However, the match, in real time, actually runs for at least 20 seconds.

Alternate versions
The DVD version replaced the entrance themes for a number of wrestlers. This was likely done because of song rights. They were:
The Junkyard Dog: Another One Bites The Dust (Queen)replaced with Grab Them Cakes, which eventually became his theme.
Mike Rotundo And Barry Windham: Born In The U.S.A (Bruce Springsteen) replaced with generic music
Hulk Hogan and Mr. T: Eye Of The Tiger (Survivor) replaced with Real American (Rick Derringer), which would eventually become his theme. Any reference to "WWF" has been edited out.

The one that started it all

March 31, 1985, Wrestlemania was born!!

Hulk Hogan and Mr. T squared off against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff. The very first main event of a Wrestlemania. Truly memorable.

The Executioner got kicked over the top rope, but landed right on a chair!! Classic!
