The Complete A-Z Of WrestleMania
24. C - Caesars Palace
Now (just about) filling enormous stadiums on a yearly basis, it's remarkable to think that WrestleMania once had to be held in a car park, no matter how well fashioned the backlot of Caesars Palace was.
Centred around a roman coliseum aesthetic in line with the co-promotion alongside the Las Vegas hotspot, WrestleMania 9 had less than a third in attendance compared to the previous year's event at the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome, after a year of tumultuous change following damaging sex and steroid scandals that hit the company in the spring of 1992.
Typical of WWE's world class production team though, perception was reality, and the organisation admirably costumed the tarmac area to the side of the famous casino to embody 'The Worlds Largest Toga Party', exactly as promised on television in the weeks leading up to the show.
Requiring style over substance, it was one of the first times WWE had experiemented with the look and feel of a show to such a degree, and thus remains fondly remembered by select fans despite a card and show that grossly underperforms on rewatch.
