For big fans of 80's wrestling.
B
This Wrestlemania had it's up's and down's but i think this is by far the worse Wrestlemania that i have yet to watch. Just 3 hours of pure boringness i don't know if people find this Wrestlemania good but this is just my opinion on it. I hope that Wrestlemania III is better than this beacuse this was just awful.
Overall Mark: B+
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!!😀👍

- TriviaA couple of days prior to the event, Bobby Heenan was in a hospital in Tampa, Florida, having an MRI done. Heenan was discovered to have two fractured vertebraes, which doctors said would require two bone pieces to be taken from his hip and placed in his neck. The night before WrestleMania 2, WWF bookers told Heenan that if he didn't make it to Los Angeles for King Kong Bundy's main event match against Hulk Hogan, Heenan would be fired. In Heenan's words, "I left the hospital, flew from Tampa to L.A., went to the ring, worked the match, took a bump for Hogan. After that, I immediately caught a redeye back to Tampa, went back to the hospital, and they said, 'Where have you been?' and I said, 'I went to L.A. to wrestle.' They said, 'You're nuts!' I said, 'No, it's my neck.' So you have to do what you have to do sometimes."
- GoofsAccording to Roddy Piper on his podcast, Mr. T botched the finish of their match by completely missing what was supposed to be a knockout punch on Piper, who sold as planned by flying through the ropes to the outside, despite the punch not connecting at all. Having to improvise a new finish on the spot, an angry Hot Rod flung his corner stool at Mr. T, hitting the shocked "A-Team" actor with full force.
- Quotes
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: [During the Hulk Hogan/King Kong Bundy steel cage match, after Bundy did it to him, Hogan decides to use the medical tape ripped off him to choke out Bundy] Ahhhhhhh! What do you think of your champion now?
Lord Alfred Hayes: Well, as I always say, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura: Yeah, I figured an Englishman like you would say that.
- Alternate versionsThe DVD changed some of the theme songs for some wrestlers, including Uncle Elmer and Corporal Kirchner, due to copyright issues.
