One Match From Each of the First 10 WrestleManias

Today is WrestleMania. Well, tonight is the first part of the 40th WrestleMania, which now comes in two parts, because there is no greater master than money, and they can sell out two nights in a stadium with ease, or come so close that it doesn’t matter they didn’t; the point is these things make a lot of money for a company that could, just once, sacrifice bonus money for something special, but obviously they will not.

I don’t watch wrestling much anymore. This will change sometime, in one way or another; I have increasing doubts I will ever follow current wrestling the way I have in the past, though I did watch ACTION’s DEAN~!!! show on Thursday and the Ring of Honor show on Friday, and enjoyed both other than simply not having the desire to spend four hours watching wrestling shows anymore. It’s actually not that I have a lot else to be doing, but I do have other things I could do.

Don Muraco vs Dino Bravo (WWF, 3-27-1988)

WWF WrestleMania IV, Atlantic City, NJ

Request via Ko-fi. Dino’s got the useless Frenchy Martin in his corner, while Muraco has Superstar Billy Graham, who is also pretty useless at this point. Graham had returned to the WWF as a babyface in 1986, but his hip was shot, and once he got that replaced, he made a comeback in 1987, worked a few months, the hip was still bad, and his ankles were going on him, too. So he was retired from the ring and became Muraco’s manager, as Muraco came to his old man aid in a One Man Gang attack on Superstars.
