PPV/Supercard Talk #12: Wrestlemania 5
1) What do you rate this event? (1-5, 5 being the best): 4
2) What were you looking forward to or most excited to see at this event?: Hogan vs Savage
3) What did you like most about this event?: Hogan vs Savage
4) What did hate most about this event?: Didn't really hate anything about this event, maybe one too many matches
5) What could/would have made this event better to/for you?: Savage retaining the belt
a) best match: Hogan vs Savage
b) worst match: Hacksaw vs Bad News or Rooster vs Heenan
c) fav match: Hogan vs Savage
**Final Thoughts**: I thought I heard or read somewhere that this was the most profitable WM until one of the ones during the Austin era (I guess King Kong Bundy was wrong). The build to the Hogan/Savage match was tremendous, almost a year and half in the making, one of the best the WWF has ever done. I liked listening to Brother Love talking about the subtle nuances about the feud that they really didn't have to do much to make this feud work; a glance at Liz by Hogan here, a hug there, also lifting Liz on Savage's shoulders and Hogan's hand being on her backside for support, Jesse stirring the pot while announcing, great stuff. As a fan of Rick Rude it was great to see him when a title here, very well deserved.

PPV/Supercard Talk #12: Wrestlemania 5
1) What do you rate this event? (1-5, 5 being the best): 5
2) What were you looking forward to or most excited to see at this event?: The Mega Powers.... Exploding!!
3) What did you like most about this event?: That I got to watch it live! It was the first Wrestlemania I ever got to see on PPV when it was actually showing. My best friend's dad bought one of those big satellite dishes, so we got to see all the PPVs back then.
4) What did hate most about this event?: I guess the Run DMC thing, that was pretty bad.
5) What could/would have made this event better to/for you?: No Run DMC!
a) best match: Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage for the WWE Title
b) worst match: Bobby Heenan vs. Red Rooster
c) fav match: Hart Foundation vs. Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine
**Final Thoughts**: Just an awesome PPV event! Seeing it live when it aired was great, I didn't have to wait to rent it when it came out on Coliseum Video. I was 8 years old when this happened, and I was in wrestling heaven. I can still watch this event and be satisfied. I give it a solid 5 out of 5!

I remember pulling for Savage even though I knew he no chance in winning 3) What did you like most about this event?:Rude getting the IC belt always come to mind 4) What did hate most about this event?:Bobby Heenan losing to a Rooster  5) What could/would have made this event better to/for you?:Like hbkbigdaddycool I could've did without the Run DMC performance and also a hotter crowd. a) best match:Hogan/Savage b) worst match:Heenan/Rooster. If Heenan won well in that case I would've went with Duggan/BNB c) fav match:Hogan/Savage **Final Thoughts**: I love all the Golden Era Manias and this one is no exception.Jesse and Gorilla were fantastic as well in the booth.They sure don't make em like they used to that's for sure. |

I also wanna mention the Piper's Pit segment. Hot Rod was gold as usual and I thought Brother Love and Morton Downey Jr. did a good job as well.Entertaining stuff. Shame the crowd was dead for it.

PPV/Supercard Talk #12: Wrestlemania 5
1) What do you rate this event? (1-5, 5 being the best): 5
2) What were you looking forward to or most excited to see at this event?: the whole thing. Not a fan of overloading cards but was just getting into wwf so a great showcase of talent.
3) What did you like most about this event?: Akeem dancing. And Rude winning the belt
4) What did hate most about this event?: I watched it on VHS so probably the fact they cut some of the entrances on that. Gave it the feel of a compilation rather than the biggest event of the year. Also no music for some wrestlers.
5) What could/would have made this event better to/for you?: other than what I mentioned above, nothing
a) best match: too many to choose from. I’ll go with Rude v Warrior
b) worst match: bad news v hacksaw
c) fav match: like picking your favourite child!! Haku v Hercules or Perfect v the Blue Blazer.
**Final Thoughts**: great event from one of my favourite years. Mega powers exploding was awesome and such a talent laden year! I hate that the wwf have changed Rude’s music on the network. I still get goosebumps thinking of him swaggering down to the ring with his awesome second theme blasting, with the Brain leading his charge. Jesse was great on commentary and still laugh when Heenan has his hand in his pocket and monsoon asks what he’s up to. Jesse retorts that he’s checking his slot money. Hilarious!
