1
00:00:01,534 --> 00:00:03,269
Welcome to WrestleMania.
2
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:05,939
WrestleMania.
3
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,109
The showcase of the Immortals.
4
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:12,412
The grandest stage of them all.
5
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:17,116
The greatest Sports
Entertainment spectacular
6
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,484
of all time.
7
00:00:18,485 --> 00:00:20,853
You can cut the electricity in
the air with a knife.
8
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:22,321
It is something else.
9
00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:24,724
Oh, they're on their feet.
10
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:27,526
This global spectacle has
become the pinnacle
11
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:30,697
of Sports Entertainment, where
superstars become legends.
12
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,298
It's over.
13
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:35,300
We have a new champion.
14
00:00:35,301 --> 00:00:36,736
And eras are redefined.
15
00:00:37,303 --> 00:00:39,839
This is one of the greatest
matches I've ever seen.
16
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:43,242
Today we look back at the
classic era of WrestleMania,
17
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:44,476
the 1980s.
18
00:00:44,477 --> 00:00:47,279
Greatest wrestling event of
all time.
19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,313
Unbelievable.
20
00:00:48,314 --> 00:00:51,651
This is WWE's Greatest
Moments.
21
00:00:54,087 --> 00:00:55,654
Acknowledge me.
22
00:00:55,655 --> 00:00:56,722
My God.
23
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:58,258
Stone Cold with a beer bath.
24
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:01,527
This is surreal.
25
00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:02,695
Look at this.
26
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:03,730
He slammed him.
27
00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:12,771
Welcome, everyone, to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
28
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:14,707
I'm Michael Cole, and on this
edition,
29
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:15,941
we celebrate the beginning
30
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:20,212
of Sports Entertainment's
grandest stage, WrestleMania.
31
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:22,281
And there's no better place to
kick things off
32
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:26,052
than with where it all began,
the very first WrestleMania.
33
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,288
Emanating from the world's most
famous arena,
34
00:01:29,289 --> 00:01:32,091
Madison Square Garden
in New York City.
35
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:35,327
WWE put on a spectacle unlike
anything fans
36
00:01:35,328 --> 00:01:36,895
had ever seen before.
37
00:01:36,896 --> 00:01:37,997
Welcome, everyone.
38
00:01:37,998 --> 00:01:41,400
As the World Wrestling--
presents WrestleMania.
39
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:43,369
This is the biggest wrestling
extravaganza
40
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:45,170
that's coming across the nation.
41
00:01:45,171 --> 00:01:48,006
The main event that evening
was a colossal tag team match
42
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:52,211
featuring Hall of Famers Rowdy
Roddy Piper and Mr. Wonderful,
43
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:56,248
Paul Orndorff facing off against
the immortal Hulk Hogan
44
00:01:56,249 --> 00:01:59,285
and television icon Mr. T.
45
00:02:02,989 --> 00:02:06,192
And now our main event.
46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,530
WrestleMania, is really
what put WWE on the map.
47
00:02:11,531 --> 00:02:14,433
Really was the key launching pad
48
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:16,703
that took WWE to the
top in the 80s.
49
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:21,006
It felt like the Super Bowl,
the World Series
50
00:02:21,007 --> 00:02:22,909
all rolled into one
massive event.
51
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,577
And all four of them are going
at it in the corner.
52
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:28,013
Chaos five minutes into the
match.
53
00:02:28,014 --> 00:02:29,848
It doesn't get any bigger than
that.
54
00:02:29,849 --> 00:02:31,583
The entertainment value was so
high.
55
00:02:31,584 --> 00:02:33,452
Piper with a chair.
56
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:35,087
I think he kicked me,
and I bend down-
57
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:36,822
And that's when I went for the
fireman.
58
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,458
Oh, nice fireman's carry.
59
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:40,526
Oh.
60
00:02:40,527 --> 00:02:42,561
Drops him like yesterday's
newspaper.
61
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:43,796
It was wild.
62
00:02:43,797 --> 00:02:45,898
It's only I can say,
it was just wild.
63
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,132
From off the-
look out.
64
00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:48,701
Oh, he got Orndorff-
65
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:50,102
Unbelievable.
66
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:53,706
-with the cast, down for the
cover, Pat Patterson-
67
00:02:53,707 --> 00:02:54,740
he got him.
68
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:56,342
They got 'em
69
00:02:57,077 --> 00:02:58,744
I stayed there as long as I
could, and I said,
70
00:02:58,745 --> 00:02:59,812
"I've got to remember this.
71
00:02:59,813 --> 00:03:01,680
I've got to remember this the
rest of my life."
72
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:02,816
And I still do to this day.
73
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:05,685
Unbelievable pandemonium here
in The Garden.
74
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:08,287
It was a perfect springboard
for what we needed
75
00:03:08,288 --> 00:03:11,090
to launch the WWE into
the stratosphere.
76
00:03:11,091 --> 00:03:13,025
The night could not have been
better.
77
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:14,460
We're seeing the greatest
spectacle
78
00:03:14,461 --> 00:03:16,496
in wrestling history right now.
79
00:03:19,332 --> 00:03:21,133
The sheer intensity of The
Ultimate Warrior
80
00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:22,768
cannot be understated.
81
00:03:22,769 --> 00:03:26,505
Warrior brought a new definition
to the term lightning rod.
82
00:03:26,506 --> 00:03:29,242
I want the intercontinental
belt for you little Warriors.
83
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:31,910
But one superstar was
determined to stop him
84
00:03:31,911 --> 00:03:33,645
in his tasseled tracks.
85
00:03:33,646 --> 00:03:34,881
Ravishing Rick Rude.
86
00:03:38,618 --> 00:03:40,453
He put that steel bar just
nailed him.
87
00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:42,087
At WrestleMania 5.
88
00:03:42,088 --> 00:03:44,056
The Ravishing one faced the
Ultimate one
89
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:45,425
for the Intercontinental title.
90
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:51,096
WrestleMania 5-
91
00:03:51,097 --> 00:03:52,264
Ultimate Warrior
92
00:03:52,265 --> 00:03:53,900
Ravishing Rick Rude.
93
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:57,936
Warrior is IC champion,
Rick Rude Disrobes.
94
00:03:57,937 --> 00:03:58,971
Look at that.
95
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,439
He's already got the
Intercontinental Title
96
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,407
right on it.
97
00:04:01,408 --> 00:04:03,042
It's only imprinted on his
tights, Jess.
98
00:04:03,043 --> 00:04:04,009
Yes.
99
00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:05,477
That's when I knew he did
that,
100
00:04:05,478 --> 00:04:07,579
he was focused on winning that
title right there.
101
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,282
Pile driver.
102
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:11,984
Rick was a
thinker to a fault.
103
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:14,887
I mean, he'd stay up all night
just looking in the mirror,
104
00:04:14,888 --> 00:04:17,791
thinking of ways to make a match
work.
105
00:04:18,692 --> 00:04:20,325
Ultimate Warrior's showing you
why,
106
00:04:20,326 --> 00:04:22,062
in fact, he is the champion.
107
00:04:23,663 --> 00:04:25,832
Possesses that unbelievable
strength.
108
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:29,835
The match is usually with
Bobby Heenan participating
109
00:04:29,836 --> 00:04:31,970
even outside of the ring-
110
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:36,442
were much better because of what
he could do to incite a crowd.
111
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:38,444
Heenan with a lot of concern
as well.
112
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:39,779
He should be right now.
113
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:43,550
Bobby Heenan was the
catalyst.
114
00:04:44,851 --> 00:04:46,018
And look at Heenan.
115
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:47,354
He doesn't know what to do.
116
00:04:47,921 --> 00:04:49,488
Rude was on the
outside and Warrior
117
00:04:49,489 --> 00:04:51,557
was going to press him in
over the top rope,
118
00:04:51,558 --> 00:04:53,325
and I had to reach down and trip
him,
119
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:55,361
and he went down and I held his
foot.
120
00:04:55,362 --> 00:04:57,229
He's holding on.
121
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:58,063
He did it.
122
00:04:58,064 --> 00:04:59,332
He did it.
123
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:02,634
I said they'd outsmart him.
124
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:05,871
And new Intercontinental
Champion-
125
00:05:05,872 --> 00:05:06,939
Yeah.
126
00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:09,375
Ravishing Rick Rude.
127
00:05:09,376 --> 00:05:10,809
Yeah.
128
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,845
The whole point of that was it
just showed you
129
00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:14,813
how important the manager was.
130
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:16,815
How can Rude enjoy his new
title?
131
00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:18,018
Look what's happening.
132
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:20,185
Really sneaky stuff.
133
00:05:20,186 --> 00:05:21,788
Great stuff though.
134
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:27,126
The Rock 'N Wrestling
Connection was alive and well
135
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:29,161
heading into the first
WrestleMania.
136
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:32,832
At the forefront of it all is
pop icon Cyndi Lauper.
137
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,201
The managerial services of the
multi-time Grammy winner
138
00:05:36,202 --> 00:05:37,936
were enlisted by Wendi Richter.
139
00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:39,204
Lou is going down.
140
00:05:39,205 --> 00:05:39,838
Yeah.
141
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,739
Lou is going down.
142
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,007
Yes.
143
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:45,110
As she was on a collision
course against women's champion,
144
00:05:45,111 --> 00:05:46,379
Leilani Kai.
145
00:05:49,215 --> 00:05:51,283
I didn't lose that belt to one
person,
146
00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:53,886
I lost it because Moolah
interfered in my match,
147
00:05:53,887 --> 00:05:56,723
and I'm dead set on getting
it back where it belongs.
148
00:05:57,257 --> 00:06:00,727
The first time I met Wendi
Richter, I kind of felt like,
149
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:04,263
"Oh, we could do
something fun."
150
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:05,764
This is what it's all about.
151
00:06:05,765 --> 00:06:08,133
The ladies world championship.
152
00:06:08,134 --> 00:06:09,368
Wedni Richter fighting-
153
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,704
and, like, finally seeing a
female in there doing her thing.
154
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:13,972
I was like, oh, okay, this is
this is cool.
155
00:06:13,973 --> 00:06:17,743
Leilani Kai trying to hold on
to that coveted women's title.
156
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:21,046
It integrated everything, and
women's wrestling was just
157
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:24,350
starting to be as popular as the
men's wrestling.
158
00:06:26,286 --> 00:06:27,686
Leilani grabbed a little bit
of hair
159
00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:29,088
and took Wendi down right there.
160
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:32,958
It was one of the most talked
about matches on the card
161
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:35,328
because of breaking down that
barrier.
162
00:06:35,962 --> 00:06:39,699
Here comes Cyndi Lauper and we
got a melee on the floor, Geno.
163
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:40,933
No.
164
00:06:40,934 --> 00:06:41,968
Whoa.
165
00:06:43,303 --> 00:06:44,303
Hooks the leg.
166
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:45,805
She got her.
167
00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:49,174
It was electric at The Garden.
168
00:06:49,175 --> 00:06:50,476
It was wired.
169
00:06:50,477 --> 00:06:57,851
And new World Wrestling--
ladies champion Wendi Richter.
170
00:06:58,518 --> 00:07:01,521
I was so proud of the women
who were standing in the ring.
171
00:07:03,857 --> 00:07:06,125
I wanted to be a role model
for the girls,
172
00:07:06,126 --> 00:07:09,062
so I tried very hard to
be that role model.
173
00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:13,065
It was probably the highlight of
my life.
174
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:14,601
History made here at
WrestleMania.
175
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:20,939
There is perhaps no greater
tag team rivalry in the 1980s
176
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:24,110
than that of the Hart Foundation
and the British Bulldogs.
177
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,779
These four superstars put on an
absolute clinics
178
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:28,314
every time they competed
against each other.
179
00:07:29,549 --> 00:07:31,350
Ooh, look at that.
180
00:07:31,351 --> 00:07:33,352
Another chapter in their
storied history.
181
00:07:33,353 --> 00:07:36,388
The Hart Foundation and
"Dangerous" Danny Davis took
182
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:39,058
on Tito Santana and the British
Bulldogs
183
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:42,095
for a six man tag team match
up at WrestleMania 3.
184
00:07:44,331 --> 00:07:47,599
This is a six man
tag team match.
185
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,335
Oh my gosh,
WrestleMania 3-
186
00:07:49,336 --> 00:07:51,470
Hart Foundation against
the British Bulldogs.
187
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:53,506
We had Danny Davis and
they had Tito Santana.
188
00:07:56,376 --> 00:07:58,177
Definitely adds to the
spectacle when you add the
189
00:07:58,178 --> 00:08:00,579
outsiders and a six man is
actually more exciting.
190
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:01,980
Here we go.
191
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:03,582
Oh, pandemonium broken loose.
192
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:05,851
All six men inside the ring.
193
00:08:05,852 --> 00:08:08,620
Pontiac, Michigan with 90,000
people.
194
00:08:08,621 --> 00:08:10,522
The Hart Foundation and the
Bulldogs-
195
00:08:10,523 --> 00:08:11,992
All my brothers in law.
196
00:08:12,592 --> 00:08:15,227
We were like rockets in there,
racing around and hitting each
197
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:16,929
other at full blast.
198
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:18,530
Plenty of action going on.
199
00:08:18,531 --> 00:08:21,333
It ticked all the boxes in
making it this epic
200
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:22,869
that we all know it to be.
201
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:24,236
Double team effort.
202
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:24,937
Look out.
203
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:25,904
Hitman on the second turnbuckle.
204
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:26,672
Inside-
205
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:28,341
Nails him.
206
00:08:28,641 --> 00:08:29,641
Look at this.
207
00:08:29,642 --> 00:08:30,409
You got to be kidding-
208
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:31,811
Give me a break.
209
00:08:32,312 --> 00:08:34,613
WrestleMania is where it all
culminates.
210
00:08:34,614 --> 00:08:36,348
It's only natural for the
Bulldogs
211
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,184
and the Hart Foundation to kind
of land there.
212
00:08:39,619 --> 00:08:42,521
I just know it was such a
happy time for all of us,
213
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,257
all of us to be together
on the stage.
214
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:46,593
It was very powerful stuff.
215
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:53,932
Mr. T, one of the most
recognizable faces in television
216
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:56,335
history, formed an incredible
relationship
217
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:59,538
with WWE in the early 1980s.
218
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:00,773
But there was one superstar
219
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:02,876
who never took kindly
to T's visits.
220
00:09:03,576 --> 00:09:07,180
This is exactly what you could
end up looking like here.
221
00:09:07,647 --> 00:09:09,548
Rowdy Roddy Piper.
222
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:10,416
Here comes Piper.
223
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:11,350
Wait a minute.
224
00:09:11,351 --> 00:09:12,451
Oh.
225
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:13,919
And after an assault
during exhibition boxing match
226
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,223
at Saturday Night's Main Event,
Mr. T laid out the challenge.
227
00:09:18,124 --> 00:09:19,625
You humiliated me in front of
my two kids.
228
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:21,560
They was crying and whatnot, so
I got to avenge that.
229
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:24,663
So you're going to be in trouble
April the 7th.
230
00:09:24,664 --> 00:09:25,731
At WrestleMania 2,
231
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:28,868
the gloves would be on for this
historic encounter.
232
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:31,137
All right.
233
00:09:33,707 --> 00:09:37,077
And now a scheduled
ten rounds of boxing.
234
00:09:38,712 --> 00:09:43,816
The best rivalries in WWE are
the ones where you truly
235
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,552
are invested in their hatred.
236
00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:47,219
Look at his face.
237
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:48,053
Oh, look at that.
238
00:09:48,054 --> 00:09:49,022
Hey, I don't want none of
that.
239
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,091
There was so
much bad blood,
240
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:53,226
I didn't know what was going to
happen.
241
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:54,893
T with a peek-a-boo.
242
00:09:54,894 --> 00:09:55,527
Look at this.
243
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:56,495
Not getting hit at all.
244
00:09:56,496 --> 00:09:58,030
Look at left hand of Mr. T.
245
00:09:58,031 --> 00:09:59,465
We had the gloves on, so-
246
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:01,134
so we was punching and whatnot.
247
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:06,305
In round two,
Piper pounds Mr. T.
248
00:10:06,306 --> 00:10:08,174
Mr. T seems like he's in danger.
249
00:10:09,943 --> 00:10:11,110
Man, Piper is letting him have
it.
250
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:12,345
Down goes Mr. T.
251
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,046
Round three.
252
00:10:14,047 --> 00:10:18,183
Mr. T is smacking around Roddy
Piper.
253
00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:20,519
Oh.
254
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,654
Oh right out of the ring.
255
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:24,523
Roddy Piper is like, forget
this.
256
00:10:24,524 --> 00:10:25,057
Uh oh.
257
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,058
I told you, Vince.
258
00:10:26,059 --> 00:10:27,427
Oh my.
259
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:28,927
Oh, look at this.
260
00:10:28,928 --> 00:10:29,929
Oh, wait a minute.
261
00:10:30,764 --> 00:10:32,699
Big body slam right in the
middle of the ring.
262
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:36,503
Finally Piper disqualified.
263
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:40,773
The tensions boiled over so
much that Piper had to take
264
00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:42,541
matters into his own hands.
265
00:10:42,542 --> 00:10:45,311
So it will go down as a
victory for Mr. T.
266
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:47,546
Piper and Mr. T.
267
00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:49,949
40 years later, and we're
talking about it.
268
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:54,453
Randy Savage truly
encapsulated the golden era of
269
00:10:54,454 --> 00:10:57,456
WWE with his larger than life
persona
270
00:10:57,457 --> 00:11:00,426
and his incredible in-ring
performances.
271
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:05,597
When the WWE Championship was
vacated, a one night, 14 man
272
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:08,367
tournament was held at
WrestleMania 4.
273
00:11:08,368 --> 00:11:11,437
Savage was certainly one of the
odds on favorites to win.
274
00:11:11,438 --> 00:11:12,871
Who is going to win?
275
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:14,340
Randy "Macho Man" Savage.
276
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:15,608
Oh, I think Macho Man for
sure.
277
00:11:15,709 --> 00:11:17,344
Macho Man Savage I think he's
great.
278
00:11:17,811 --> 00:11:20,380
But he had an extremely tough
task ahead of him.
279
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:24,083
The tournament's here.
280
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:25,451
We're going to find out
281
00:11:25,452 --> 00:11:28,355
the undisputed World
Wrestling-- Champion.
282
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:30,856
WrestleMania 4 was a
tournament.
283
00:11:30,857 --> 00:11:31,790
The title's vacant.
284
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:34,093
It's never happened in WWE
history,
285
00:11:34,094 --> 00:11:35,228
but we'll settle all that.
286
00:11:35,729 --> 00:11:38,465
So Randy wrestled three times.
287
00:11:38,832 --> 00:11:40,300
Look it, he turned it into a
small package.
288
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:42,501
Two count.
289
00:11:42,502 --> 00:11:43,937
He got him.
290
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:46,305
"Macho Man" Randy Savage over
the one man gang.
291
00:11:46,306 --> 00:11:47,774
So that is your final.
292
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:50,210
You can feel the electricity
in the air.
293
00:11:51,411 --> 00:11:52,211
Nice move.
294
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:53,479
Oh, look at that.
295
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,315
Well, DiBiase said he'd do
anything to get that title.
296
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:57,751
Savage in deep trouble.
297
00:11:58,818 --> 00:12:00,386
It looked bad for Randy-
298
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:04,157
And then to everyone's
exhilaration.
299
00:12:04,624 --> 00:12:05,190
Macho Man-
300
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:09,061
Oh, he got him.
301
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:10,797
Look at Savage going to the
outside.
302
00:12:12,532 --> 00:12:14,500
Savage the flying elbow.
303
00:12:14,501 --> 00:12:15,934
Hooks the leg.
304
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,537
It's over.
305
00:12:20,206 --> 00:12:23,276
That night elevated Randy to a
great heights of superstardom.
306
00:12:24,778 --> 00:12:26,513
He was living
his dream.
307
00:12:27,047 --> 00:12:28,782
This is Macho Man's finest
hour.
308
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:33,552
The "Macho Man" Randy Savage
stood tall at the end
309
00:12:33,553 --> 00:12:36,855
of WrestleMania 4 as WWE
champion,
310
00:12:36,856 --> 00:12:39,958
with his best friend and
manager, both by his side.
311
00:12:39,959 --> 00:12:41,093
Standby for this one.
312
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:42,094
Whatcha gonna do
313
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:44,663
when the Mega Powers come
Running through?
314
00:12:44,664 --> 00:12:45,964
No way to stop us now.
315
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:47,267
Uh uh, no way.
316
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:49,802
But what a difference a year
makes.
317
00:12:49,803 --> 00:12:51,970
The next few months saw hints of
jealousy from the champion
318
00:12:51,971 --> 00:12:54,606
against his Mega Power partner,
Hulk Hogan,
319
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:55,641
as he claimed the Hulkster
320
00:12:55,642 --> 00:12:57,677
was lusting after the
lovely Miss Elizabeth.
321
00:12:58,244 --> 00:12:59,712
You got lust for
Elizabeth right there.
322
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:00,612
This guy, man.
323
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:01,980
Try and talk some sense to him.
324
00:13:06,152 --> 00:13:08,487
The world was indeed watching
WrestleMania 5
325
00:13:08,488 --> 00:13:11,624
to see the Mega-Powers explode.
326
00:13:15,362 --> 00:13:18,497
This is the main event.
327
00:13:18,498 --> 00:13:20,166
It don't get no bigger.
328
00:13:20,734 --> 00:13:22,101
This is sold out.
329
00:13:22,102 --> 00:13:23,669
It's the hottest
ticket in town.
330
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:25,871
What a matchup this is going
to be.
331
00:13:25,872 --> 00:13:27,906
He was just as intense as
ever.
332
00:13:27,907 --> 00:13:29,975
And he would really turn the
dial up when he worked with me.
333
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:31,377
Here we go.
334
00:13:31,378 --> 00:13:33,212
Time for talk is ending.
335
00:13:33,213 --> 00:13:36,815
Miss Elizabeth chose to go
into a neutral corner,
336
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:39,052
and then she finds herself in
the middle of a match.
337
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:41,587
Oh, come on, give me a break.
338
00:13:41,588 --> 00:13:43,455
It was pretty crazy.
339
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:46,159
Referee Hebner just put Miss
Elizabeth out.
340
00:13:48,094 --> 00:13:50,730
Savage perched up there on the
elbow.
341
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:51,630
He got it.
342
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:52,297
He nailed him.
343
00:13:52,298 --> 00:13:53,900
He got it.
344
00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:55,401
Oh God.
345
00:13:55,402 --> 00:13:56,469
The Hulkster is out of there.
346
00:13:57,704 --> 00:13:59,638
I can't believe this is
happening.
347
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:00,774
Oh there's the big boot.
348
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:03,375
The boot.
349
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:04,344
And the leg drop.
350
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,779
One, two-
351
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:08,748
He got him.
352
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:12,986
As once again, the
Hulkster holds up the gold
353
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:16,755
You know, the timing and
everything felt magical.
354
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:18,123
It felt like we were on point,
355
00:14:18,124 --> 00:14:20,393
but I didn't realize how special
it really was.
356
00:14:23,897 --> 00:14:26,465
During the 1980s, WWE
superstars truly seemed
357
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:28,367
larger than life.
358
00:14:28,368 --> 00:14:31,003
Nobody encapsulated that more
than the Eighth Wonder
359
00:14:31,004 --> 00:14:33,073
of the world Andre the Giant.
360
00:14:33,807 --> 00:14:36,375
I'm so happy to make the
wrestling fans happy and
361
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:38,377
I'll show them who is the
real giant.
362
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:40,412
But one man thought he could
usurp Andre
363
00:14:40,413 --> 00:14:43,015
as WWE greatest giant.
364
00:14:43,016 --> 00:14:44,384
Big John Studd.
365
00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:48,454
There's only one and
it's John Studd, the giant.
366
00:14:48,455 --> 00:14:51,056
At WrestleMania 1, Studd
would challenge Andre to a
367
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:54,594
$15,000 Body Slam challenge.
368
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:03,970
This is the $15,000
Slam match.
369
00:15:04,504 --> 00:15:07,706
It was one of those
big matches.
370
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:10,142
It was a matchup I wanted to
see.
371
00:15:10,143 --> 00:15:13,445
15 grand in that little World
Wrestling-- briefcase.
372
00:15:13,446 --> 00:15:15,581
That's what's at stake.
373
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:17,784
As these two behemoths just go
at each other.
374
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:21,186
As a kid watching it, it's
just like watching those
375
00:15:21,187 --> 00:15:22,654
Godzilla movies or something.
376
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:25,791
Look at this stop trying to
slam Andre.
377
00:15:27,494 --> 00:15:31,464
You can hear the fans there
chanting slam.
378
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:33,666
Andre picks him up.
379
00:15:33,667 --> 00:15:35,769
He slammed him.
380
00:15:36,703 --> 00:15:37,870
It's all over.
381
00:15:37,871 --> 00:15:39,304
Unbelievable.
382
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:40,572
Andre looking for the money.
383
00:15:40,573 --> 00:15:41,673
He's got it.
384
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:42,975
Look at this.
385
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:44,677
He's throwing the money out.
386
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,279
Uh oh, look at that Bobby "The
Brain" Heenan grabbed
387
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,314
the bag with the money.
388
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,050
It's really a special match
because things like that
389
00:15:51,051 --> 00:15:52,451
don't happen often.
390
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:54,220
But when they do, they happen at
WrestleMania.
391
00:15:54,821 --> 00:15:58,425
The winner, Andre the Giant.
392
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:02,928
"Macho Man" Randy Savage is
riding high as Intercontinental
393
00:16:02,929 --> 00:16:05,998
Champion for the better part of
1986.
394
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:07,566
And he's from Sarasota,
Florida.
395
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:08,567
What's with the broom?
396
00:16:08,568 --> 00:16:09,201
Wait a minute.
397
00:16:09,202 --> 00:16:09,935
What is th-
398
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:11,236
Professional wrestling
399
00:16:11,237 --> 00:16:11,970
completely cleaned.
400
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,440
Oh, yeah.
401
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:16,241
There was no length the Macho
Man wouldn't go in order to
402
00:16:16,242 --> 00:16:17,811
retain his championship.
403
00:16:18,545 --> 00:16:20,447
Oh.
404
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,615
Steamboat's grabbing his
throat.
405
00:16:23,883 --> 00:16:24,750
Whoa.
406
00:16:24,751 --> 00:16:26,119
Steamboat can't breathe.
407
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:28,821
After having his larynx
crushed in one of the most
408
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:30,656
brutal attacks in history.
409
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:33,792
Steamboat sought revenge on the
Intercontinental Champion,
410
00:16:33,793 --> 00:16:36,463
and the two were set to
lock horns at WrestleMania 3
411
00:16:36,930 --> 00:16:41,334
in what many consider to be the
greatest match of all time.
412
00:16:44,571 --> 00:16:46,372
This contest is for the
413
00:16:46,373 --> 00:16:48,975
Intercontinental
Heavyweight Championship.
414
00:16:49,976 --> 00:16:51,043
We knew before it
happened it's like
415
00:16:51,044 --> 00:16:54,513
this is gonna be the match
that raises the bar.
416
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:56,649
It's going to be the best match
on the card for sure.
417
00:16:57,484 --> 00:16:59,118
From an in-ring perspective,
with the Intercontinental Title
418
00:16:59,119 --> 00:17:01,887
was all about, there was nothing
bigger or better.
419
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:03,689
Macho Man, Steamboat match-
420
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:05,125
One of the greatest matches
of all time.
421
00:17:06,026 --> 00:17:08,327
Deep arm drag by the Dragon.
422
00:17:08,328 --> 00:17:09,328
Oh, look at that.
423
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:11,096
You got to get up pretty early
in the morning
424
00:17:11,097 --> 00:17:12,766
to outsmart the Macho Man.
425
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:15,134
Anytime you have that type of
talent in the ring,
426
00:17:15,135 --> 00:17:17,070
you should expect a great match.
427
00:17:17,804 --> 00:17:19,471
Talk about determination.
428
00:17:19,472 --> 00:17:21,607
Look at the clothesline by
the Macho Man.
429
00:17:21,608 --> 00:17:23,777
What a move by Macho Man.
430
00:17:24,010 --> 00:17:24,977
I don't know how Steamboat-
431
00:17:24,978 --> 00:17:26,078
Dragon gets out.
432
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,313
I don't know how he's doing
it.
433
00:17:28,481 --> 00:17:29,014
Down in the middle.
434
00:17:29,015 --> 00:17:30,215
One, two-
435
00:17:30,216 --> 00:17:31,785
And Savage comes out once again.
436
00:17:32,419 --> 00:17:34,587
This is one of the greatest
matches I've ever seen.
437
00:17:35,121 --> 00:17:36,221
His favorite position.
438
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:36,855
Bombs away.
439
00:17:36,856 --> 00:17:37,623
He got him.
440
00:17:37,624 --> 00:17:38,524
He nailed him with it.
441
00:17:38,525 --> 00:17:39,858
That many eyes watching-
442
00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:41,661
we wanted a match to steal the
show.
443
00:17:43,329 --> 00:17:44,631
Savage in a whole heap of
trouble.
444
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,968
Now a small package by The
Dragon.
445
00:17:49,969 --> 00:17:50,969
He got him.
446
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:52,739
I can't believe it.
447
00:17:53,873 --> 00:17:57,476
Everywhere I go, people still
yell out
448
00:17:57,477 --> 00:17:59,411
"WrestleMania 3, you and Savage.
449
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:00,947
WrestleMania 3, you and Savage."
450
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:03,983
Out of the 6000
that I had-
451
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:07,320
that match.
452
00:18:11,491 --> 00:18:13,359
WrestleMania 3 was
unquestionably the biggest
453
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,728
WrestleMania of the classic era,
454
00:18:15,729 --> 00:18:18,330
with over 93,000
fans in attendance.
455
00:18:18,331 --> 00:18:21,567
Macho Man and the Dragon put on
a classic,
456
00:18:21,568 --> 00:18:23,535
and while that match may have
stolen the show,
457
00:18:23,536 --> 00:18:26,638
it was the main event that
people paid their money to see.
458
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:29,975
I'm here for one reason to
challenge you for a world
459
00:18:29,976 --> 00:18:33,278
championship match in the
WrestleMania.
460
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:36,382
Are you or are you not going
to fight him
461
00:18:36,383 --> 00:18:41,186
at WrestleMania 3 for the World
Heavyweight Championship?
462
00:18:41,187 --> 00:18:42,254
Yes or no?
463
00:18:42,255 --> 00:18:43,922
Yes.
464
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:46,859
The immortal Hulk Hogan will
put his WWE Championship
465
00:18:46,860 --> 00:18:51,130
on the line against the
undefeated Andre the Giant.
466
00:18:51,131 --> 00:18:53,966
Our number one moment is the
irresistible force
467
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:56,269
meeting the
immovable object.
468
00:18:59,172 --> 00:19:02,007
This is the main event
of the evening.
469
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:03,609
It was just the right time,
470
00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:05,477
the right people,
the right place.
471
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:06,980
It was perfect.
472
00:19:07,447 --> 00:19:08,848
Look at the size of The Giant.
473
00:19:09,182 --> 00:19:11,116
I mean, Hogan is 6'8.
474
00:19:11,117 --> 00:19:13,085
You needed a match
as big as possible,
475
00:19:13,086 --> 00:19:14,119
and nothing was going
to be bigger than
476
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,056
Hogan and Andre
at the time.
477
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:18,257
Hogan would get beat down In
the match
478
00:19:18,258 --> 00:19:21,127
and he was just the guy that you
could believe in.
479
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:23,396
One more time, if that arm
drops, it's over.
480
00:19:24,698 --> 00:19:25,597
Oh, look at that.
481
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:26,866
It's up there.
482
00:19:27,334 --> 00:19:28,968
Listen to these fans.
483
00:19:29,235 --> 00:19:31,203
The fans realize no matter
what the odds were,
484
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:32,772
he was never counted
out of a fight.
485
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,974
Look at the look on the face
of the champion.
486
00:19:35,975 --> 00:19:37,610
He's Hulking up.
487
00:19:40,246 --> 00:19:41,814
Look at this.
488
00:19:41,815 --> 00:19:44,150
He slammed him.
489
00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:47,486
I don't believe it.
490
00:19:47,487 --> 00:19:49,189
Hulk dropping a big leg
491
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:50,857
Over for the cover.
492
00:19:51,124 --> 00:19:52,225
It's over.
493
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:56,930
I knew that night the whole
world was watching.
494
00:19:57,530 --> 00:19:59,565
WrestleMania 3 just launched
the WWE
495
00:19:59,566 --> 00:20:01,334
to a whole nother level
from that point on.
496
00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:03,635
What can I say?
497
00:20:03,636 --> 00:20:05,338
I never thought it could be
done.
498
00:20:05,772 --> 00:20:07,673
History is made here in the
Silverdome,
499
00:20:07,674 --> 00:20:10,776
and that guy right there has
made history
500
00:20:10,777 --> 00:20:12,045
all over the world.
501
00:20:15,115 --> 00:20:18,651
Hogan slamming Andre the Giant
has become a defining moment
502
00:20:18,652 --> 00:20:20,987
in the history of WWE.
503
00:20:21,821 --> 00:20:24,823
That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
504
00:20:24,824 --> 00:20:26,325
Hope you've enjoyed this
505
00:20:26,326 --> 00:20:28,594
look back at WrestleMania, the
moments that became the
506
00:20:28,595 --> 00:20:31,530
foundation for what makes
WrestleMania the greatest
507
00:20:31,531 --> 00:20:34,667
spectacle in all of Sports
Entertainment.
