zkonedog For the first two Wrestlemania events, as well as the first half of this third production, the concept of Wrestlemania was very hit-and-miss (with probably more misses than hits, to be perfectly honest). However, once Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and "Macho Man" Randy Savage wage an epic battle for the Intercontinental Title, the formula really clicks into place.What really changes in Wrestlemania III is that the drama of the whole spectacle is finally allowed to be played out. Whereas other previous wrestling events relied too heavily on celebrity gimmicks or outrageous personalities, the halfway point of Wrestlemania III suddenly proves that the combination of athletic wrestling, fun characters, and dramatic backstories can carry each and every event (not just the main events).After Dragon/Macho, Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. Honkytonk Man is another fun match, while of course the main Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant finale is one of the most revered matches in WWF history if only for the kind of buzz it generated for the business.A lot of credit also has to go to the amazing broadcast team of Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who inject great humor (from an adult perspective) into the proceedings with their satire of each and every match. No announcing pairing every topped these two.So, although Wrestlemania III is just an "okay" event when looked at from beginning to end (hence the three-star rating), it marks the turning point for WWF pay-per-views...the event where they finally start to figure out the winning formula for creating blockbuster wrestling events.

MarkyIce What are you sitting here reading these reviews for? GET THE TAPE! WM3 was THE moment in WWF history that can never be forgotten. Andre/Hogan is still the biggest match of all time, despite sucking like very few matches could possibly do. Does it matter that the match is bad? No. It's still mark-out moment number 1 for all wrestling fans.Steamboat/Savage, regarded as the greatest wrestling match of all time until Steamboat/Flair in 1989, is still unbelievable to this day. Intense psychology and crowd interaction make for the WWF's first 5-star PPV classic.Sure the rest of the matches weren't very good, but who cares? It's Wrestlemania 3!This was wrestling at its peak. Nothing has come close since. Hulkamania was at its best and it was the Golden Age of Sports Entertainment. See the show, relive the excitement, and understand exactly why Andre/Hogan is the biggest match - ever.

Big Movie Fan To this day I don't think WrestleMania III has been topped. Everything about this card was brilliant. I don't think fans will ever see a card like this. It took place 15 years ago and it is still talked about today.For starters, the crowd were just amazing. The electricity and energy coming from them was phenomenal. The way they cheered during the Hulk Hogan/Andre the Giant match was brilliant. Before Hogan and Andre had even touched each other the fans were screaming-I am surprised they didn't break all the glass with their screaming!The matches were just superb. Roddy Piper battled the late Adrian Adonis in an entertaining match. The mysterious and charismatic Jake Roberts-and his python-battled Elvis lookalike The Honky Tonk Man. Ricky Steamboat battled Macho Man in a match still held in high regard today by wrestling experts. And who can forget Hulk Hogan battling the late great Andre the Giant!The event can be summed up in one word-MEGA! These characters were larger than life. If you were to put the stars of this event in a time machine and put them against today's stars then they would destroy them.This really was a timeless event which will still be talked about fifty years from now.

greatone08 perfect card. the best wrestling match ever Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant everyone should watch this once 93,000 were there to see this live a record that still stands
