Wrestlemania VI

[OG]

I don't care what anyone says, Hogan/Warrior holds up very well. The crowd is loud the entire match, the booking is perfect, the commentary gives it the perfect feel of a major sporting event and Hogan does a hell of a job carrying a blown up Warrior. Still one of the defining matches in the WWE history.

Nice to see Andre get one last huge reaction. Well deserved.

To this day, I don't understand the Beefcake/Perfect booking. Why job Perfect clean there?

It was to lead to Beefcake challenging (and defeating) Perfect for the IC Title at Summerslam.

Agreed on Hogan/Warrior. I would probably put it as the third best main event in Wrestlemania history (not counting Wrestlemania XX for obvious reasons) behind Taker/Michaels, and Rock/Austin II.

The last four months of jobbing Hennig at house shows had hurt the Mr. Perfect gimmick anyway as even the Aptermags had feature stories on those losses, so it really wasn't as big a deal as you might think. Putting the IC Tite on him and giving him Heenan turned it around in a hurry though.

I just posted my review of this.

Tons of filler on this show, it took me a few days to get through it. I just don't understand why they used some of the wrestlers in the roles they used them in.

Originally it was going to be even "worse" as Hogan was set to beat Genius and Hennig in 2 on 1 matches before most bookings were switched to tag matches with Beefer.
