Rating: - Nice trip down memory lane.
Was 10 years old when this event took place. Still remember everyone in the neighborhood talking about it the next day, despite the fact that none of us watched the closed circuit venue (all that was available then). Couldn't wait for this tape to show up in the mail. Roddy Pipers' bag pipe entrance really reminded me how exciting this form of entertainment was as a kid. I try to get into WWF (now WWE) today, but it's just not the same.
If you grew up in the '80s, this is a must have. I got the VHS just to get it on the cheap. If it's available on DVD and you've got the few bucks to spend, I'd recommend that.

I remember the huge build-up that Wrestlemania got back in '85, and it's clear that in its infancy, Vince McMahon and the WWF weren't really sure what they were going to get.
This video takes you through the event, and it came across like one of the TV shows, where the star goes into the ring and squashes a jobber in a matter of minutes. Yes, there were some main-event caliber matches in the middle of the card, but a lot of these were really disappointing.
This was also the beginning of the end of the "realism" of pro wrestling, and it was when I started to get turned off by a lot of it, i.e., the hype, the subplots, the BS story lines.
The good matches? Rick Steamboat and Matt Borne was entertaining, but you pretty much knew who was gonna win. The Steamer put on his usual moves, and the veteran Borne did a good sell job.

To tell you guys the truth, this is definitly not th best WrestleMania they make it look like. Sure it has memerable moments, but it is not that great. Here are the matches.
1. Tito Santana vs. The Executioner 7/10
Decent opener, but I have seen better in this sytle of wrestling. And yes this is the first match in WrestleMania history.
2. King Kong Bundy vs. S.D. Jones 10/10
Excellent match. I know it was REALLY short but I thought it was funny to see S.D. Jones get put away so quick. Watch it if you want to have a quick laugh.
3. Matt Borne vs. Ricky Steamboat 7/10
I actually liked this match, there were a lot of things going on but I did not feel satisfied. Good attempt though.
4. Brutus Beefcake vs. David Sammartino 5/10
Worst match of the night. I mean it was just a plain boring match man. The good thing was to see Bruno Sammartino there ... Read More
