35 Years Of WWE WrestleMania Mistakes
27. WrestleMania IX - Jim Ross In A Toga
One could make an argument for 'everything' being the mistake that WWE made with WrestleMania IX, and they'd be correct. From the kitsch Roman themed setting (in a Las Vegas car park), the dreadful misuse of talent up and down the card, to Hulk Hogan's impromptu title win which buried Bret Hart in the process, WrestleMania IX was a disaster from top to bottom.
Jim Ross must have wondered what he'd gotten himself into when he turned up for his big WWF debut at Caesars Palace. One of the most respected play-by-play commentators in the business, a broadcaster in the mould of the venerated Gordon Solie, Ross was immediately bedecked in a toga and forced to call the abomination of Giant González vs. The Undertaker.
At least he got to keep his own name, unlike Finkus Maximus.
