Wrestlemania is the biggest event of the year for wrestling fans. The event has a very rich history and there have been many incredible moments. Here is a list of 8 Wrestlemania facts that you may not know!
Wrestlemania Facts
8) The Big Boss Man Had A Pretty Impressive WrestleMania record.
I thought that I would start off this list with a random fact about The Big Boss Man. It turns out that he had a 5-1 record at WrestleMania, despite never being
- At WrestleMania V, Big Boss Man teamed up with Akeem to form the Twin Towers. They defeated the Rockers (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty).
- At WrestleMania VI, Big Boss Man defeated his old tag team partner Akeem in less than 2 minutes.
- At WrestleMania VII, Big Boss Man defeated Mr. Perfect by Disqualification for the Intercontinental Championship. This still counts as a win even though he didn’t win the title.
- At WrestleMania VIII, Big Boss Man, Virgil, Sgt. Slaughter and Jim Duggan defeated The Nasty Boys, Repo Man and The Mountie.
- Big Boss Man suffered his first and only loss at WrestleMania XV to the Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match.
- At WrestleMania 2000, Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan defeated The Godfather and D’Lo Brown.
A pretty solid Wrestlemania record for a midcard guy!
7) WrestleMania 2 Took Place on a Monday
WrestleMania 2 is the only WrestleMania to ever take place on a Monday. As wrestling fans know, Wrestlemania on Sunday has become a WWE tradition.
The event took place on April 7th, 1986. It also took place in three separate arenas:
- Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York
- Rosemont Horizon in Chicago
- Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles.
Each of these venues featured their own main event. For some reason, WWE held the event on a Monday.
I couldn’t find out why they chose to host this event on a Monday. If anyone has any idea leave me a comment! Still interesting to see that WrestleMania didn’t always take place on Sunday like we are used to.
6) The Godfather has appeared at WrestleMania as 4 different characters.
A pretty cool fact is that the Godfather appeared at WrestleMania using 4 different gimmicks/ characters.
- At WrestleMania IX, he performed as Papa Shango, losing to Tito Santana in the opening match.
- At WrestleMania XI, he performed as
Kama . He was involved in stealing the Undertaker’s signature urn during his match against King Kong Bundy.
- As the Godfather, he appeared in a couple of WrestleMania matches.
- Finally, as the
Goodfather and a member of Right to Censor, he lost to Tazz and the APA at WrestleMania 17.
Pretty incredible that he competed as so many different gimmicks at WrestleMania. I guess that is why he is a WWE Hall of Famer.
