10 Wrestling Pay-Per-Views That Tried Something... Different
9. WWF WrestleMania II
In 1985, Vince McMahon put on his first ever PPV - the original WrestleMania. The star-studded event was a huge success and propelled the WWF into the pop culture stratosphere. So, when it came to the next year's show, Vince decided not to play it safe and to try and innovate once again.
For WrestleMania II, Vince booked three different arenas across the country; the Nassau Coliseum in New York, the Rosemont Horizon in Illinois, and the Los Angeles Sports Memorial Arena in California with each event getting its own unique card and main event.
Despite the scale of McMahon's vision, the show was not received well. Fans and critics did not approve of the three-venue format and the fact that all the major matches failed to deliver didn't help either. McMahon scrapped the multiple venues idea and every live WrestleMania since has been broadcast from one place and one place only.
It's hard to see how this would have ever worked, especially with the limited technology the company had at the time. Although, with Mania now being a two-night event, now could be the time to try this again.
