Headbutting samoans or black people has to be in the top 5 lists of things to NOT do in wrestling according to everything I have learned. Because everyone knows that islanders and blacks all have hard heads...

So that's two WMs where Bigelow could've been plugged into Takers match and given us a much better match. Great episode guys. So true. It's unacceptable. Thank you for watching!

Several facts about WrestleMania IX:
- Was the first WrestleMania in the Monday Night RAW-era - The sole 'Mania appearance for the Steiner Brother's - The first WWF PPV to not have Red, White, and Blue ropes - Ended Shawn Michaels' streak of opening up WrestleMania (VII with Marty Jannetty vs. Haku and The Barbarian and VIII vs. "El Matador" Tito Santana) - Began Shawn Michaels' four straight 'Mania championship match appearances - Jim Ross' television debut with the WWF - The first WrestleMania to be held outdoors - The first time the winner of the Royal Rumble receiving a WWF Championship shot at WrestleMania - The Undertaker's only non-decisive victory at 'Mania - The second of three straight years a match got cut due to time constraints (British Bulldog vs. The Berzerker at VIII and the Ten Man Tag from X) - Hulk Hogan's last time walking out at a WrestleMania as a champion
I know there are more but those were the one's that popped up in my head.

Very enjoyable guys. Lol at the Tatanka song. I remember on my VHS there's a backstage promo with Kamala after the show. TATANKA...BUFFALO! Glad you can enjoy it even though we have differing views on the event! Man, I am fully aware that the event is flawed, but I just love the hell out of it because of the nostalgia there. My brother had the VHS so I would just watch it a ton of times, any event he had on VHS I just love because it's those tapes that fueled me being a fan. In the UK it was so hard finding wrestling to watch on TV. WCW was often on too late so I could only rarely watch it, and until we got Sky we couldn't watch RAW. So I had to depend on the VHS' we had.

First and only Giant Gonzalez Wrestlemania appearance. Praise the Lord above!

Also want to say regarding the Hogan finish, it would have been fine if he didn't douche out on Bret at Summerslam. The only reason that ending sucks so bad is because we didn't get the payoff.
Hogan completely conned Vince because Bret was going over Yoko until Hulk said he wanted to put Bret over at Summerslam.

I mentioned this in another thread. Bret Hart's detriment in his first reign was he didn't go against credible main event guys like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. A Hart/Savage match at WrestleMania IX would have done wonders for Hart. I would make him look legit to the fans and gain credibility in the process. It must really bother Bret that nobody passed the torch to him.
Given how WrestleMania IX ended, it was fine for the time. Hogan becoming a five time WWF Champion was history making for 1993. I do happen to remember watching WrestleMania IX live. At the time, I didn't really think much about wrestling. Now looking back as a 26 year old, it is sad that we never got to see a payoff coming out of WrestleMania IX. Had Hart/Hogan taken place at SummerSlam, it would have easily solidify Bret Hart as a credible main event, top level talent.
****, some of the booking in 1993 made zero sense. I felt bad for the guys who could work and make wrestling look legit like a Bret Hart and Curt Hennig. As mentioned in your review, those two looked they were doing their best to make the product look good. I am glad the WWE hasn't done a WrestleMania in Las Vegas, let alone in Nevada. 1993 was a year full of bad booking decisions and WrestleMania IX is a perfect reflection of said booking.

I agree with Bash on the 'global' subject; as an Australian I think some of the corniest crap the WWE has offered is because they are so shortsighted when it comes to this stereotypical stuff... The Japanese photographer stuff Bash mentioned is an example of this.., The reason why the WWF was big on patriotism is because of Vince McMahon. McMahon was big on showing his "love" of the United States by having the rope scheme reflect the American flag and have his American babyface's battling against evil foreigners.

Just listened while working on SUMMIT PRO...great stuff guys... But Bash, what about Kevin Von Erich? He didn't wear boots. Looking forward to the next one fellas, but don't expect a request from me... Shame on him too.
