Highlights of Wrestlemania I-IX 1985-1993

1980 in the WWF. Business isn’t so hot. Backlund isn’t drawing the houses they thought he would and business is moribund at best. That is, until a young Larry Zbyszko proposes an idea to his mentor that would change the course of the federation, and make the career of Zbyszko himself. This journey into 1980 is an incredible illustration of how Bruno Sammartino gave Larry Zbyszko the education of a lifetime in both the construction of the “Shea Stadium” program, as well as how to play the game of politics with the heavy hitters, like McMahon. No one saw the impact this angle would have on the gate at Shea, the direction of the company, the shadow it would cast on World Champion Backlund, and the heat and hatred Zbyszko would have to get used to living with. Relive the angle that re-ignited the biggest federation in the world…from the INSIDE…from the angle’s conception, to holding McMahon up for more money.

It was before Hogan, before Ventura, and before charisma counted as much, perhaps moreso, as mat skills. It was 1977 in New York and Bruno’s run would soon come to an end. Enter The Superstar… Superstar Billy Graham burst onto the scene in the WWWF, unseated Bruno Sammartino, and rewrote the rulebook for pro wrestling heels. And now he wants you to join him on a journey to that pivotal year, where he’ll tell you everything that was happening within the walls of the largest wrestling federation in the world! We pick up the action in April of 1977, just before Graham gets the strap, and we follow the action into 1978, when Backlund takes it. The Sammartino title change…the McMahons…the ‘Wiz’…Japan…Backlund…the backroom dealings…missed opportunities…Albano’s antics…working the blade…the TV tapings… …all that and EVERYTHING that was happening in 1977/78 in WWE!!!

The year of 1993 saw the pressures of indictments befall the WWE, but there was a glimmer of hope in restoring the image of the P.R. troubled company. There was a ‘narcissistic’ heel working the arenas that would soon become a flag bearing, all-American hero. And that guy is here to take you back in time with him. Lex Luger became the focus of the company as he led the charge across the US in his famous “Lex Express” tour bus, as the biggest wrestling federation in the world sought to polish off its bad press and attempt to build wrestling’s superhero babyface for the next generation in wrestling. But did it work?

The closing month of 1983 in WWE saw the arrival of an individual that would go on to set the entire pro wrestling landscape on its head. Roddy Piper’s effect on the largest federation in the world would set up Hogan for his massive championship run, introduce the concept of Wrestlemania, and push TV ratings to the stratosphere. Simply put…Piper helped make it all happen for WWE in the 80s. Join Roddy for a three and a half hour journey back in time and see how each piece of the puzzle was laid. Roddy, Vince, Hogan, Dave Wolf and others had a vision of what was to come. Now head back to the birth of the boom and hear about it all in the first-person, from one of the all-time greats. Here comes the ‘Pit, MTV, the coconut, and the HOT SCOT himself! All in this edition of the open-ended historical telling of the WWE’s history.

The WWE had yet to go national. The talent raids had not begun. Hogan was still Verne’s guy. And the biggest draws in the company would revolve around the Intercontinental title, held by The Magnificent One, Don Muraco. And the inside story is here! The series that blows open the real, unauthorized story of the WWE is back, and we head into the 80s again! Backlund…Morales drops title…Allentown…Rocky feud…Snuka and Nancy…Gilbert’s crash…McMahon power shift…Invading California…Wizard’s passing…Iron Mike Sharpe and OCD…Madison Square Garden…Victory Magazine…

The new millenium is upon us and the WWE machine is cranking out product as fast and furiously as ever. The federation is loaded with big names and big ideas…like the WWE Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas…well, besides that one! Rikishi was working near the top of the card for the better part of the year, winning the IC title in 2000. And now he walks you through the entire year month-by-month. Hear about Rock, Triple H, Stephanie, Linda, Vinnie Mac and the whole gang as Timeline tackles Y2K!

At last, the storied history of wrestling’s biggest, most legendary federation can be told! Year-by-year, Kayfabe Commentaries will assemble the epic story of World Wrestling Entertainment, as told by the stars of the era. They were there. They’ll tell you about it. In this edition, 1987, our guest is The Honky Tonk Man. Travel back with him and go inside the locker rooms, hotel rooms, inside the ring, and on the road. Now the whole story of the WWE can be told!

We’re still in the 80s and we’re flying high! Hogan is still drawing his legion of fans and the WWE is running 2,3, and even 6 (yes SIX) shows in a day. Things are good and Hogan’s best friend in the business would get his highest profile run, albeit in the form of a very odd gimmick. Brutus Beefcake had become “The Barber” and was struttin’ and cuttin’ his way to headlining Summerslam with Hogan against Savage and Zeus. Yeah, remember him?! Go back in time and relive yet another chapter in the ongoing history of the world’s biggest federation, and fill in another year in the 80s on your Timeline shelf!

This Kid was ready to impress everyone on the biggest wrestling stage in the world, and also make some very powerful friends as well. It’s 1994, the business is preparing to rebound in a couple of years, and the guys are jockeying for position for that ride. Sean Waltman will take you back to that year in another edition of the Timeline series. Bret and Lex are vying for footing at the top, while Nash, Shawn, and Razor are ready to get the world’s attention. This was such a critical time in the formation of the Kliq, and Waltman will show us how it happened.
