What better way to open WrassleMania week than with the match that started it all. I'm not talking that Hulk Hogan and Mr. T/Rowdy Roddy piper and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff match - uh uh -I'm talking Chico Santana versus The Executioner! The first ever WrestleMania match!
Any smart mark will tell you that this bout between the masked and very unknown Executioner (not to be confused with Terry Gordy's Executioner) and Tito Santana was really what started "the Grandest Stage of Them All", making it more than just "the Okay Stage for Some".
Don't believe me? Just listen to comments that these two athletes were echoing through Madison Square Garden at each other that night!
Tito Santana would go on to wrestle in the next seven WM's until WM IX when he competed in the dark match before the show.
Theme results:
Wrestlemania: WMI
