Ranking All 37 WWE WrestleMania Stages - From Worst To Best

31. WrestleMania/WrestleMania 2

WrestleMania Stage
WWE

Chicago's Rosemont Horizon was the only venue from the three used at WrestleMania 2 to contain any set dressing whatsoever, with a logo banner hung barely in view as wrestlers looked escaped as if from nowhere from a darkened corridor. This marginally outstripped the unmarked exit doors used in New York and Los Angeles, as well Madison Square Garden for the inaugural WrestleMania.

It's almost unfair to judge these aesthetics against the giant technological and financial leaps forward thirty years on, but that's the exact purpose of this list. The world was most definitely watching between 1985 and 1986, it's just a shame it wasn't given much to look at.
