Brisco doesn't say it, but this MIGHT be the OG booking of Mania 4. I do doubt they ever thought to put Savage vs Steamboat on again and risk splitting Savage's babyface momentum for the night.

This was the original bracket revealed on TV, which may lend credence to the story that Dibiase was originally planned to win the tournament. Do they still do the DDQ with Hogan/Andre in this case, and if so who gets the finals run? Or do they do a screwy finish with Hogan in the finals?

I think "What the world is watching" is the better tagline, as well.

Someone probably clued them in that “the whole world is watching” was previously used.

The 3 hour Macho Man comp the WWE Vault put out has a Steamer vs Savage house show match. There's a fun moment where Savage goes to murder Steamboat with a ring bell again and a fan jumps the rail to save our hero. He gets tackled right away and never gets near Macho.

It's very WWF that we got 5 Savage vs George Steele matches on major TV/PPVs and one Steamboat/Savage clash.

Hogan and Steamboat vs Savage and the monster of the week didn't happen enough.

Would've been a good way to get Kamala another good match to join Danielson and the cage match vs Andre.

I'm probably off by a year but throw Sika in and it's genuinely great.

I won't spoil it, but WM 9 would have been a lot of fun with this celeb and Heenan messing around

(referring to the cameo in the clip above)

Despite being two of my favorite things ever, I'm glad they never crossed paths despite it being very possible when both were their biggest.

Did they clip the video to remove his comments on Koko?
