Featured review
This Wrestlemania saw the end of an era and beginning of a new one. The transition from the Hulkamania years to what I like to call the Gimmick years left of with one of the best Wrestlemania events in history. Now I would've given this a 10 out of 10, but there are a few matches that weren't up to par.
Now you see a lot of gimmick changes in this Wrestlemania. Tito Santana is now referred to as El Matador. You have characters like Repo Man and The Mountie. Aside from that, you are in for a great event. Shawn Michaels makes his singles debut against Tito Santana and it is a good one. Jake Roberts and the Undertaker square off in one of the better early Undertaker matches. The Roddy Piper vs. Bret Hart match is fantastic. Probably one of the best in Wrestlemania history. I could've done without the 8-Man Tag Match and Tatanka vs. Rick Martel. I thought the Tag Team Championship was good and the WWF Championship Match was excellent. Ric Flair's small run in the early 1990's in the WWF was outstanding. His match with Savage was also one of the best in Wrestlemania history. Hogan's match was typical Hogan, with a little twist because at the time, he was going to retire.
I'd say overall, this is the best Wrestlemania of the 1990's. The good matches outweigh the bad one's and all in all, you should be highly entertained.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe finish to the Justice-Hogan match actually did not occur as planned. The original plan was for Hulk Hogan to hit the leg drop on Justice and for Papa Shango to do a run in and break up the pin causing a disqualification. However, Papa Shango missed his cue and was late in getting down to the ring. Justice improvised by kicking out of the leg drop. From there, referee Earl Hebner would disqualify Justice when his manager, Harvey Wippleman, interfered.
- GoofsThere was clearly a large amount of space between the stadium floor and the top of Jake "The Snake" Roberts' head after Undertaker tombstoned him.
- Quotes
Sid Justice: See we got a saying and it goes like this, "Do unto the man as he would do unto you. But do it first."
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version edited out any reference to "WWF". The DVD version also replaced the entrance themes, which was likely done because of song rights. They are:
- Ric Flair's music changed to the WWE's rendition of "Also Sprach Zarusthra", which eventually became Flair's entrance music in 2005.
- The video package documenting Sid Justice's path of destruction replaced Sid's entrance at that time to a generic hard rock song with vocals.
