The Rockers Vs Haku & The BarbarianThe Rockers win. Great way to start the show. The Rockers can carry anybody to a good match...but The Barbarian and Haku held up their end of the bargain for sure. Fun opener with a red hot crowd*** out of 5Regis Philbin, Marla Maples, and Alex Trebek are guests at WrestlemaniaThe Texas Tornado Vs Dino BravoKerry Von Erich wins with a Discus Punch. This match was horrible. Bravo could barely move at this juncture because he was so roided up.3/4* out of 5The Warlord Vs "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy SmithDavey wins with a running powerslam. Surprisingly, this didn't suck. Crowd was red hot and Davey was a great worker.** out of 5Tag Team TitlesThe Hart Foundation (C) Vs The Nasty BoysThe crows is nuts for The Hart Foundation. The Nasty Boys win the titles due to cheating. Pretty decent match overall. It's admittedly not a favorite of mine, but it is decent for sure.**1/2 out of 5Blindfold MatchJake "The Snake" Roberts Vs Rick "The Model" MartelJake wins. The match is technically terrible...but it was made somewhat fun by the crowd interaction and the dedication from the performers. It managed to make it fun.N/RThe Undertaker Vs Jimmy "Superfly" SnukaThe Undertaker wins with a Tombstone. 1-0. Undertaker's first ever Wrestlemania would turn out to be a streak nobody would ever forget. Snuka was a well-enough established name to make it relevant.*1/2 out of 5Retirement Match"Macho King" Randy Savage Vs The Ultimate WarriorThe Warrior wins. Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth reunite afterwards. One of the best examples of storytelling you'll ever see. It triumphs everything. It has the perfect combination of everything. This is what wrestling is missing these days. I wouldn't call it a technical classic...but the way they told the story is everything and the psychology is outstanding. Absolutely incredible stuff all around. The reconciliation of Elizabeth and Savage is just icing on the cake. Everybody in the arena was crying and every time I watch this match, I always seem to get teary eyed too. This match represents everything I love about wrestling and it should have been the main event.***** out of 5The Undertaker and Paul Bearer measure Regis Philbin for a potential bodybag. Hilarious!Alex Trebek gets scared by Jake Roberts and Damien.Demolition Vs Tenryu & KitaoTenryu & Kitao win. Pretty boring match that the crowd was completely dead for. Even with the intermission, the crowd was exhausted from the Warrior and Savage match.*1/2 out of 5Intercontinental ChampionshipMr. Perfect (C) Vs The Big BossmanThe Big Bossman wins by DQ. Andre The Giant makes one of his last WWF appearances to help out The Big Bossman. Really fun match here between these two. Its high-energy and really underrated. Crowd was red hot for it.***1/4 out of 5Earthquake Vs Greg "The Hammer" ValentineValentine had an ill-advised face turn at this juncture. Earthquake wins. Valentine got in a surprising amount of convincing offense. A little more than a glorified squash.*1/4 out of 5The Legion of Doom say Power & Glory will be sour and gory when they are through with them.Legion of Doom Vs Power & GloryLOD wins in 2 minutes. Power & Glory's push was officially over. Nobody could take them seriously after this. DUDMillion Dollar ChampionshipVirgil Vs Ted Dibiase (C)Virgil wins by countout. Sensational Sherri joins Ted Dibiase after the match in beating down Piper until Virgil makes the save. Virgil helps Piper up. Terrible match...but the wonderful drama at the end is great stuff.* out of 5The Mountie Vs Tito SantanaThe Mountie wins with the shock stick. Pretty much a glorified squash. 1/2* out of 5WWF ChampionshipSgt. Slaughter (C) Vs Hulk HoganHogan wins the title. Shocker...hey? Pretty boring main event. Good to make the crowd go home happy...but it doesn't come close to Savage and Warrior. This really shouldn't have main-evented...but it is what it is. Technically, it was an easy choice to make the crowd happy. Hogan had way too much offense here and Slaughter barely looked like a threat.*1/4 out of 5This Wrestlemania is a tad underrated. It's certainly not perfect...but I gotta give it a thumbs up.7/10

When various P.P.V events were issued on video back in the 1990s, most of the releases were heavily edited versions with footage removed from different matches. "Wrestlemania 7" is no exception to the rule but if you can find the unedited version on DVD, then this particular event is so much the better. Hulk Hogan's story angle with the champion Sgt. Slaughter had been accumulating a lot of heat for the past several weeks and promised to make for a highly charged and entertaining main event. The fact that the war in Iraq was raging at the time only added to the tension between the two wrestlers as Slaughter was portrayed as an Iraqi sympathizer. The match is the longest on the card but the time rushes by. Hogan - as the "squeaky clean" character - represents the United States as he carries the American flag to ringside. It is a bloody but exciting match and one of the best in either man's career. Originally, this Wrestlemania was supposed to have been held at a different stadium in Los Angeles. Potentially, about 100,000 people could have been accommodated but due to security concerns and poor ticket sales, this had to be cancelled. The resulting arena is on a much smaller scale. Mr. Perfect was the reigning IC champion for a second time when he was challenged by the Big Boss Man. The former corrections officer was involved in a story angle against the entire Heenan family during late 1990 to early 1991. Here we have a mixture of styles in the ring and the results are good. Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) was always great at selling the moves of his opponent and he does that just as well in this encounter. Tag team champions The Hart Foundation make their last appearance on P.P.V as a team in a tough title defence against a relatively new team, The Nasty Boys. In all honesty, I was initially stunned by the outcome but in the long term it made sense. The Nasty Boys would employ similar tactics against Legion of Doom - producing a somewhat different outcome. The match that some fans seem to remember the most, is the career ending match between The Ultimate Warrior and Macho King Randy Savage. A lot was on the line in this one and both wrestlers give 100%! It isn't the kind of match that can be summed up in just a few minutes and I'm glad it went on for longer. The remaining matches are mid card affairs and they range from being great to being average. The tag team of Demolition - once the most dominant team in the WWE - had been reduced to mid card status. Their match against a Japanese team is rather mundane and disappointing. The British Bulldog was at the beginning of a highly successful singles career and he takes on the monstrous Warlord. This is about power vs. power but Davey Boy Smith could add considerable speed and finesse to his ability. The Undertaker hadn't long taken on Paul Bearer as his manager when he fought "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka in a fairly good match. It doesn't last long but it is great to see the Grim Reaper in his first Wrestlemania. The Legion of Doom were rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with since joining the company in July 1990. At Wrestlemania 7, they engaged in a squash match against Power and Glory. Hawk and Animal simply do what they do best and to perfection. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine engaged in a match against Earthquake and the result is predictable. The opening match between The Rockers and Haku and The Barbarian is a terrific one. There are a few twists and turns which lead to a great climax. The match between Virgil and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase is a big disappointment in my opinion. From a story angle perspective, I understood why this all came about after what occurred between the two at the Royal Rumble that same year. However, the choreography could have been much better and the match on for longer. The rather stupid ending hardly helps. Rowdy Roddy Piper makes a welcome appearance as he comes to ringside in Virgil's corner. Kerry Von Erich against Dino Bravo is OK but nothing special. Both wrestlers were confirmed mid carders. The Mountie made an early appearance in his career at the WWE and quickly establishes himself as a considerable heel. His match against Tito Santana is very poor. Jake Roberts was in the middle of a feud against The Model Rick Martel when they had this blind fold match. It doesn't really work as the choreography is disrupted all the time. The result makes it worthwhile though. Overall, I would rate this Wrestlemania on the top 10 of the greatest of all time.

First off, yes, the Slaughter/Iraq angle was stupid. But the Heat for the main event was off the charts and, shockingly, Slaughter carries Hogan to a decent match! The Warrior vs Savage is one of the best booked matches in history, and to not enjoy it is a travesty! A 5 star classic for sure. Some other bright spots included a great opener between the Rockers/Haku & Barbarian. Bulldog/Warlord was also much better than expected! Surprise appearances for Elizabeth & Andre the Giant just added to the big event feel here!Sure, there was a lot of filler at this show too, but its still a fun card and was the first Wrestlemania I ever got to see.A must to see for sure!

*SPOILERS*
This WrestleMania had some good matches, and unlike most others, no bad ones. And lots of careers took drastic turns after this.The opening match between the Rockers and Barbarian & Haku was what we'd expect more from a TV taping than a PPV. It was fast and fun, without too much drama or storyline. The Rockers won only their second PPV match here, and it was right after their first at the Royal Rumble. This occurred right before the Rockers' lengthy split-up angle.The Nasty Boys' win over the Harts was a blessing in disguise; it was now time for Bret Hart to blossom as a singles wrestler after years of being in the best WWF tag team ever and yet knowing he could do so much more. This was the best match.The Warrior-Savage match could have gone the other way and things afterward would have been the same. Savage just took a break from active competition, while the Warrior became more or less non-existent in a non-televised feud with the Undertaker. Not to mention two of the most ridiculous vignets ever, as he got locked into a coffin and later bitten by a snake. These days, Savage would win.This was not the way to see Demolition go. Jobbing to a team that was just making a guest appearance? Tenryu and Kitao could have fought Barbarian and Haku in the opening match, with the Rockers and Demolition settling their non-televised feud here.The Legion of Doom were very fun to watch when they squashed another team, like the Orient Express. I didn't expect them to get by Power and Glory so easily, but it was a nice set-up feud to get them over in time for title contention.This was the Big Bossman's last great win in the WWF. After this was a go-nowhere feud with the Mountie, then an embarrassing feud he lost to IRS.Tito Santana and the Mountie could have had a great match, but it ended too soon. This was Tito's last match before his transformation, which somehow made him win more while making his matches less fun to watch. Remember his feud with Mr. Perfect? They put on some shows!
