5 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 2
1. Three's A Crowd
Vince McMahon's typically throaty "Welcome To WrestleMania" and introduction of Ray Charles was as good as the pageantry got all night. The ugly feedback that spewed from Charles' microphone foreshadowed how critics and audiences alike received the three-cornered supercard.
Different announce teams, different wrestlers, different rings, even, highlighted why this wasn't the right time to attempt something so grand. New York, Chicago and Los Angeles were fine locations, but all three towns were killed in one night as arenas full of fans were forced to squint and primitive screens to watch everything that wasn't happening live.
Production costs didn't allow venues to be flicked between either - New York's crowd were forced to sit through two cards after they'd watched their own, whilst the LA faithful were two hours deep into their seats before a worked punch was thrown.
