Editorial Reviews

From the back cover
One year after the tradition commenced, three cities--Los Angeles, California, Chicago, Illinois, and Uniondale, New York--hosted WrestleMania® 2. Legendary Hall of Famer Andre the Giant sacked such NFL stars as William "Refrigerator" Perry, Ed "Too Tall" Jones and Bill Fralic en route to winning a 20-man invitational battle royal! Mr. T "clubbed" Rowdy Roddy Piper in a boxing match, and the British Bulldogs captured the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship from the Dream Team of Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake. Plus the Hulkster and King Kong Bundy shook Los Angeles inside a steel cage in the main event!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Premier Sporting Event of the Year!, September 19, 1999

By	Jeff Perkins ([e-mail]) (Orangeville, Ontario) - See all my reviews

The WWF wanted to somehow top the initial Wrestlemania so they tried something that was never tried before or since. Wrestlemania 2 was held in three different locations in one night. Each location had their own matches which would take place in succession with eachother. The Los Angeles Sports Arena, Chicago's Rosemont Horizon, and New York's Nassau Coliseum were the venues used for Wrestlemania 2. The main event was a steel cage match for the WWF Title between Champion-Hulk Hogan and Challenger-King Kong Bundy. There was also a 20-man over the top rope Battle Royale which included superstars from both the WWF and the NFL. Rowdy Roddy Piper takes on Mr. T in a boxing match. Lou Duva and Joe Frazier are the cornermen for the boxing match. Randy "Macho Man" Savage defends the WWF Intercontinental Title against George "The Animal" Steele. WWF Tag Team Champions-Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Brutus Beefcake defend their belts against the British Bulldogs. Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff vs. The Magnificent Muraco. Hoss and Terry Funk vs. Tito Santana and the Junk Yard Dog. Corporal Kirchner vs. Nikolai Volkoff. Uncle Elmer vs. "Adorable" Adrian Adonis...

3.0 out of 5 stars WrestleMania II, March 1, 2009

By	A. Pierre (Somewheres) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Paul Orndorff VS Don Muraco: The match was going good and it ended out of nowhere. Bullcrap and the team of Vince and Susan St James are unbearable.

Randy Savage VS George Steele: I love Macho Man, probably was the greatest wrestler of the 80's. Savage plays chicken for a few minutes and finally the match begins. An enjoyable match with anther stupid ending.

Jake Roberts VS George Wells: Who? George Wells? Whatever happened to this guy? Wells does a good job and Vinnie Mac says this is the toughest match of Roberts career thus far. Im surprised at Wells, even though Roberts wins in the end. Anyone know more information on George Wells?

Mr T VS Roddy Piper: The last match from New York and I skip it. Im watching wrestling, not boxing.

New York is over and was a complete waste of time, here comes Chicago.

Fabulous Moolah VS Velvet McIntyre: Kathie Lee does commentary? What the hell? This event is slipping into one of the worst ive ever witnessed and heard.

Corporal Kirschner VS Nikolai Volkoff: How much did people pay for this event? They got ripped off. This match was crap and the ending would be good if I cared about either wrestler.

NFL VS WWF Battle Royal: This is one of the moments they always display on WrestleMania rewinds. I dont care, skip.

There is way to many interviews and not enough good matches. Ive yet to see a match that i'd call classic.

Dream Team VS British Bulldogs: The more I watch old WWF, the more I like Greg Valentine. A great match but I hated the ending. Still, it's probably the best match of the whole event.

Hercules VS Ricky Steamboat: I thought how can this go wrong? Elvira is on guest commentator. She sucks, what the f*(& was WWF on with all these women commentators? A fairly good match with Steamboat winning in the end.

Adrian Adonis VS Uncle Elmer: Adonis is looking very, very, very gay and that is no joke. I just skipped this gay (no pun intended) match.

Anther interview, I think there is more interviews then matches.

Terry and Hoss Funk VS Tito Santana and Junkyard Dog: An enjoyable match with anther bad ending.

An eight minute recap of the Bundy-Hogan cage match. It made me want to watch the match even though the outcome was already known. Three stars for a few matches I saw that was good.

Hogan VS Bundy in a cage match: It was a typical 80's Hogan match. It was enjoyable but I wouldnt call it a classic.

Overall, a pretty bad event. The guest women commentators were a bad idea and its no wonder why they havent done it since. I'll never watch this PPV ever again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok ppv but nothing more., January 26, 2006

By	GreatMovieCriticForever - See all my reviews

An ok ppv. Like others have stated it is a pretty average ppv. The main problem with it, is that the matches are just far, far too short averaging about five to ten minutes each. The commentary wasn't too bad, but it seems like everything was rushed here with no big storylines to boot. This marks the first time as well they tried to split the Wrestlemania to three locations: Chicago, New York, LA.


Orndoff vs. Magnificent Muraco ** at best. This could have been a great match, and with Fuji on the outside, it could have been.

Savage vs. George "The Animal" Steele for IC Title *** -Their SNME matches are still better but this isn't too bad. However it follows the same routines , Savage uses Elizabeth to gain the advantage then cheats to win. George then does his whole turnbuckle thing.

Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Mr. T in a boxing match **- Allright at least this match had some buildup which the others hadn't. We see how this rivalry started with T and Piper. The boxing match is ok , Piper was approaching his prime here.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. George Wells **- Too bad for George, he actually dominates Jake for about three minutes and looks like he worked hard to get in shape. However since this is a jobbing match, Jake pulls it out.

Jumping to the Chicago: location we are now taken to the huge Battle Royal with WWF vs NFL Stars ***

It is a good one, lots of faces here, not that bad of a battle royal even the "Fridge" is in this one. The ending was predictable but it was a one time to see all the stars here.

British Bulldogs vs. Dream Team (Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) *** and ½ . A great match and probably the longest one too. The Bulldogs finally get put over and this would to their memorable title reign and feuds with the Harts and others.


Cpl. Kirchner vs. Nikolai Volkoff **- Pure brawl with some wrestling, Similar Of their matches from 80's. Kirchner though I liked the gimmick and he could at least sell a match.

Velvet McIntyre vs. the Fabulous Moolah for the women's title *- Poor squash.

Ricky Steamboat vs. Hercules Hernandez **-Fair match, Hercules was basically a brawler with some wrestling ability. Steamboat does good work here and gets put over.

Uncle Elmer vs. Adorable Adrian Adonis *-Poor dud.


Tito Santana & the Junkyard Dog vs. the Funk Brothers: **- Not bad, Santana showcases his great ability which would propel him to be One of the more recognized faces in the WWF.

King Kong Bundy vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship in a cage **-

Typical Hogan job, nothing special about this even in a cage.

All in all it is a pretty average ppv , with the exception of the Battle Royal, The Tag Team Titles match , there isn't too much worth seeing over again. Vince obviously wanted to cash
in on the success of the first Wrestlemania but instead
it comes out to be like one of those average movie sequels
that aren't as good as the original.
