Hey guys,
I was just thinkin' about some old school wrestling and remembered way back to WrestleMania V at Trump Plaza and remembered for a few wrestlers it nearly ruined their entrance on their way to the ring due to a dip in the floor.
Without even seeing the footage again, the ones I can clearly remember off hand are The Bushwhackers entrance where Butch stumbles, The Hart Foundation's entrance where Bret stumbles, Mr. Perfect's walk to the ring and he stumbles and even The Ultimate Warrior nearly wipes out when he races to the ring, lol.
I'm sure some of you older fans know what I'm talking about here and it was quite funny.
Here's the video of the event and you can check it out.

You can thank the way the building was setup for the event. Trump Plaza was a name the WWF had given the venue since Boardwalk Hall (the building's actual name) is adjacent to Boardwalk Hall. Boardwalk Hall is the only WrestleMania venue to be designated as a historical landmark. Additionally, it is the oldest venue to ever host a WrestleMania let alone any PPV the WWE has had.

Are we talking about the fact that they had to go down stairs?

I think George Steele cited a trip as the reason he didn't make it into the IV battle royal.
I watched the four you cited and definitely Butch, Perfect, Bret trip but Warrior was too fast to see.
Another interesting thing about the set up is that there was a aisle to the left of the ring where the wrestlers would go to the left side and to the backstage area as not to walk all the way back up. I remember it specifically from IV but without re-watching V I don't know if they had the shortcut.

One of the greatest things ever.
Hennig's stumble is my favorite.
They should make a Botchamania of just Wrestlemanka V stumbles.

I think the weirdest thing about WM 5 was how Bushwhacker Luke rubbed Ray Rougeau's crotch while getting bodyslammed.
It happens at 47:33 in that area.
