Coming to you live from my sofa and Olevia flat screen, it’s time to have a look at the original WWE WrestleMania, as we gear up for numero twenty six. So journey back in time with me as we go to an era where muscleheads were becoming all the rage, and Vince McMahon panhandled to celebrities to enhance his product. I’m talking about 1985, of course. March 31, 1985 from Madison Square Garden in NYC. At this point, I was in a crib, doing my best Randy Orton impression into a pair of Swaddlers. I even had the same range of facial expressions as Orton, to boot. The commentators are Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura, who can shill for the product while maintaining a sense of gravitas. Are you listening, Michael Cole? VINTAGE BURN! |
