Most fans know by now that Edge was at WrestleMania VI wearing his Hulk Hogan shirt and that Zack Ryder was lucky enough to hit MSG in 1994 and take in the sights and sounds of WrestleMania X. What some probably don't know is that Ryder was in attendance eight years earlier at 'Mania II. Maybe, he's not quite sure.

Ryder's dad claims he took young Zacky to the Nassau Coliseum for the opening leg of the show, but Zack himself told Sean Mooney's Prime Time podcast that he doesn't believe ol' daddio.

At that time in 1986, Ryder would have been less than one year old. He has no living memories of seeing matches like Randy Savage vs. George Steele and Roddy Piper vs. Mr T, so he can't say for sure whether or not he was there. To this day, his dad says he was, and that's something that slightly bugs Zack.

If he was there, then he witnessed a slice of wrestling history. WWE have never broadcast a pay-per-view from three separate locations since, and they're unlikely to do so again.
