The Wrestlemania Thread - 'It's Real Damn It!'

[Susan Foreman]

Probably the most controversial match in Wrestlemania history. The Undertaker Vs. The Big Bossman in a Hell In A Cell match at Wrestlemania XV (1999)

It's a shame you can clearly see The Undertaker using a blade on himself

More controversial moments at WrestleMania

This time it's WrestleMania VI (1990), and it's almost inconceivable to think that someone thought it would be a good idea for 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper to appear in half blackface for his match against Bad News Brown!

According to Roddy Piper, the paint took 3 weeks to scrub off and he got strange looks when he was flying out of Toronto

"The body slam heard around the world"

Hogan Vs. Andre at Wrestlemania III (1987)

An event full of McMahon over-exaggerated hyperbole! This was actually *not* the first time that Andre had been body slammed. Numerous wrestlers had previously achieved the feat, including many men much smaller than Hogan. More importantly, the much quoted "WWF record attendance of 93,173 and the largest recorded attendance of a live indoor event in North America at the time" has been called into question, and the fact that the venue for the event, the Pontiac Silverdome, has a capacity of 80,311 lends credence to this. A much more creditable figure is around 78,000, but hey - why let the facts get in the way of a good story!

The iconic line from Gorilla Monson
"The irresistible force meets the immovable object" during the state down between Hogan and Andre.
