I have fond memories of WM IV as this was the one my dad took me to see at the old Boston Garden as they had a closed circuit feed. They had actually constructed a ring and hung four enormous screens at the Garden to broadcast WrestleMania IV. And they were selling souvenirs, t-shirts, the whole nine. That was a great WrestleMania to watch on closed circuit.
Amazing intro the Wrestlemania, the likes of which we'll sadly never see again. The music the WWF used back then was great, still gives me goose-bumps.
I remember WM IV very well. I had just turned 50years old a week before. I remember being very eager to watch it. Really enjoyed it fr beginning to end
The Trophy was to be awarded to the winner of the battle royal. Would have been a nice trophy to award every year at wrestlemania. That opening match battle royal, is better then any I have seen since. It was a real moment in WWF history, completly overshadowed, by the entire evening. Undoubtably the best ever opening Wrestlemania match.
I saw Savage Steamboat Feb 87 in Vancouver BC during the lead up to wrestlemania III. Savage got himself counted out, it was obvious that was his plan all night. The match at WrestlemaniaIII between Savage and Steamboat is to me the greatest match ever, on the biggest stage ever. It does overshadow the main event looking at it historicaly. Randy Macho Man Savage and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat were two highly conditioned athletes in their prime who put on a show of wrestling excellence.
Ehclips recalls- WMIV started with a 20 man battle royal. George the Animal Steele never got into the ring. Bad News Brown[Allen] and then heel Bret Hart teamed up to elimante JYD. After Brown and Hart stood victorious, Brown gave Bret Hart a "Pearl Harbour Job" and deliverd a getto blaster [huricanranna]. Brown Won A trophy that stood 6 feet tall. Brett hart returns to the ring beats down Brown, and destroys the trophy, and turns face.
Good point !!! Just imagine Steamboat and savage went at it again it would of been a rematch from Wrestlemania III. Arguably the best match ever in the 20th century !!!!!
This was actually the first Wrestlemania that was available in our area on pay per view. The others we had to go the local arena to view. It was a very cool moment.
I could hear what Vince's voiceover would sound like over this....FROM TRUMP PLAZZZZA IT'S (as the slot machine lands on Wrestlemania IV) WRESTLEMANIA FOURRRRR
wrestlemania 4 gave the ball to macho long enough for hogan to make a movie. As soon as hogan came back, they began the angle that broke up the mega powers.
Ehclips recalls- The Ultimate warrior and Hercules Hernendez wrestling to a double DQ and snapping the chain of Hercules in a tug of war. Axe and Smash Demolition win the Tag Team Titles From Rick Martel and Tito Santana Strike Force. Bobby the Brain Heenan Wrestles with Haku and Tama the Islanders vs The British Bulldogs. Heenan wrestling attire consisted of an attack dog suit.
hands down the best wrestlemania of the 25...and better than wm iii both in match quality and special features... 1.battle royal with bret hart's turn into a fan favourite 2.the tournament for the title 3.ultimate warrior's ppv debut 4.celebs like vanna white, bob uecker, gladys knight, and robin leach...
It's too bad the PPVs are watered down so much there is no time to build feuds like they did in 80s when you only had 4 PPVs a year rather than now with 1 PPV each month
anil2 It was held at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, NJ. Guess who owns it? Yep, you guessed it. Donald Trump. He paid big bucks to make it happen for BOTH years.
One thing people forget these days is that from 1987-1989, boardwalk hall in Atlantic City was the sight of the biggest prized boxing matches of the time, and all were brought into town with Trump’s help, so his name was slapped on as a sponsor. Wrestlemania 4 and 5 were held at the Mecca of prize fights at that moment in time.

You were 50 back then? Sure how old are you now? You must be in your mid 80's? Lol

A-MA-ZING!!!

Wrestlemania's IV and V were two of the best ever. I wish they would go back to Trump Plaza again.

This and the first Clash of the Champions is what gotme into wrestling.

That put a smile on me lol. My personal favourite Wrestlemania ( 17,10 are next). Makes me wanna go pop in the tape.

6 years old then wrestlmania from the beginning the fukn memories
the music to this is the old late 80s early 90s WWF intro music...
Yea I remember Wrestlemania 4 and Clash of Champions 1 going on at the same time. Since we didn't have ppv where I lived I watched the Clash that day.
I was Trump Plaza for WM4 with comedian Freddy Lewis. Fred lost a $#!+load of quarters on the slot machines that night.
this was a great wreestlemania! I remember it was very exciting, much more then any of today
state of the art at the time
Yes, History! 1st time that WWE and NWA/WCW went head-to-head!
I could hear what Vince's voiceover would sound like over this....FROM TRUMP PLAZZZZA IT'S (as the slot machine lands on Wrestlemania IV) WRESTLEMANIA FOURRRRR

I agree with you completey !!! Wrestleing isn't as good as it used to be. Although Wrestlemania 19 HBK v. Y2J was a awsome match as well.
this was a classic WM. best match had to be strike force vs demolition and of the battle royal (bret and bad news) LOL
hands down the best wrestlemania of the 25...and better than wm iii both in match quality and special features...
1.battle royal with bret hart's turn into a fan favourite
2.the tournament for the title
3.ultimate warrior's ppv debut
4.celebs like vanna white, bob uecker, gladys knight, and robin leach...
hands down best wrestlemania of the 26 we've seen to this point...
And 9 years after your comment WM IV is still greater than the actual crap.
This video is over 16 years old 😎✌

It's too bad Vince's voiceover is not in this...FROM TRUMPPP PLAZZAA HOTEL AND CASINOOOO IT'S WRUSSLEMANIA FOURRRR
Mark Mullins those stupid hill stairs 2 the ring....
If you ask me the next best Wrestlemania match ever was Bret Hart Vs Shawn Michales 60 min endurance match, I forget what Wrestlemania
Ehclips That was WrestleMania XII. March 31, 1996. Anaheim, CA. Iron Man Match. WWF Championship.
@disapointedpooch try amazon and order the dvd
yeah
why did they have wrestlemania here two times in a row?
anil2 It was held at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, NJ. Guess who owns it? Yep, you guessed it. Donald Trump. He paid big bucks to make it happen for BOTH years.
