Excellent way to start!, 24 May 2003
Author: RepoManRules from Long Island New York

WrestleMania was denifitely a great way to start out for the WWF(Oops excuse me...WWE). Star ratings wise, it really was not a great card. The WWF would be in trouble for making P.P.V. cards that bad. But, the magic was there.

The MOTN(Match of the night) of course, was Hogan/T vs. Piper/Orndorf. Alot of junk was in it too like the King Kong Bundy match that was really 24 seconds but kayfabe says 9 seconds.

All in all. Easy recommendation.

BTW, if you want to chat about the good old days of wrestling just drop me an e-mail!
