Wrestlemania V was considered worse than IX?

By Scott Keith on 13 January 2018



Hi Scott,

From the Observer recap, there's a comment that 'Wrestlemania XI is currently penciled in for Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, site of the two worst Wrestlemanias ever.' Did Wrestlemania IX fall over time to be considered worse than Wrestlemania V? The MegaPowers Exploding seems to be remembered more fondly than Hogan returning to regain the title over Yoko and Bret Hart.
Dave really, REALLY hated the Trump Plaza shows. From a show quality standpoint, 9 at least had Steiners v Headshrinkers and Tatanka v Michaels as good matches. 5 was basically four hours of junk and a decent main according to the original Observer review, so it makes sense.
