Time to reminisce again. I will say this about 1991's "Wrestlemania", the WWF sure knew how to promote it. With Sgt. Slaughter playing the ultimate heel, an Iraqi-sympathizing turncoat, everyone and their mother wanted to see Hulk Hogan take his belt back.

I recall being invited to my grandmother's house to watch the pay-per-view with my uncle and his friends. It was great. I was getting to watch Wrestlemania, live, for free. As a kid, it was the greatest thing in the world. SORRY! Didn't mean to go all nostalgic on you. To me, as a kid, WWF pay-per-views gave me the same excited feeling that Christmas and Halloween did. Though today's wrestling makes me sick to my stomach, I have always been a loyal fan.

This Wrestlemania had Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man in a "career match" where in a sappy ending, Savage reunited with Elizabeth. Yeah, it was sappy but everyone at the house, that night, ate it up. I got to see the last Wrestlemania of my favorite tag team, Demolition. At this point, they were no longer the same duo from the previous year as Crush came in, shortly after and Ax left not long after that. I still loved them but even at eleven, I knew their days were numbered as they seemed to slide further down the roster, especially with the addition of the Legion Of Doom.

WRESTLEMANIA VIII. was a classic pay-per-view and I still love every minute of it.

wrestlemania 7 was great. it had a bunch of patriotism too. hogan won again!undertaker debuts in a good match against jimmy snuka! the best match on the card and one of the best of all time the retirement match between savage and the ultimate warrior! highest recomendation!

Wrestlemania VII came in a time of patriotism and boy this ppv make you proud to be an american. here is my rundown of the matches. DUD- very awful * - bad ** - okish *** - good **** - very good ***** - perfect

Match 1: The Rockers vs. Haku & The Barbarian - HBK and Janetty were awesome tag partner and awesome high flyers for that time. this is an awesome david vs. Galaith matchup here and its very good Rating: ***

Match 2: Texas Tornado vs. Dino Bravo - both these guys have past away and boy did I love the Tornado as a kid and I miss him a lot. Von Erich had lost the I-C belt months earlier and this was his push back to the top against the heel Dino Bravo...still basic match Rating: **1/4

Match 3: The Warlord vs. The British Bulldog - Bulldog was a good babyface in this matchup. Warlord was just huge and every was hopin Bulldog would beat Warlord and he did just that. Rating: **

Match 4: Tag Team Champions Hart Foundation vs. The Nastys - I never really liked the nastys in their wwf stint and this match is really boring and bad ecspecially for a Hitman match Rating: *1/2

Match 5: Rick Martel vs. Jake Roberts in a Blindfold Match - dude!! yesss this match is entertaining the 1st time you watch it but if you watch it the 2nd time...you'll die Rating: DUD

good entertaining ppv that had a little bit of everything!

Wrestlemania seven has been considered by many to be the worst but I still enjoyed it. The hype for this event back in 1991 was extreme. ROYAL RUMBLE 91 and the events that led up to this event really convinced me to see it.

2 matches really made this event and those were THE WARRIOR V.S.. SAVAGE RETIREMENT MATCH and THE WORLD TITLE MATCH BEYWEEN HOGAN AND SLAUGHTER.

Plenty of talent was shown in this event but the undercard matches were all fairly short. I enjoyed the TAG CHAMP MATCH and THE OPENING MATCH. Takers match was good also but every other match was under five minutes. Still lots of matches and promising action. I thought Demolition should have been in the TAG CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH not the Nasty Boys.

In conclusion a good solid Wrestlemania nothing super special but some promising talent and some good matches. Highly recommended.

well the overall show was pretty good. the warrior/savage career match was great.the snuka/taker match was short but still good. the rockers in the first match was great. tito santana and the mountie was horrible and borring.bossman/perfect match was good with the return of aundre the giant befor his death. but the main event was such a snooze. you knew they werent going to have hogan loose to a heel at wrestlmain's main event. way to predictable. plus slaughter could hardely even kick hogan because he has no talent what was wwf thinking when they gave him the belt.so i am gonna say just rent this one.

Im being picky. look at past Wrestlmainias: Hogan-warrior, Hogan-Savage, Hogan-Andre. While I was impressed and happy about the undercard, you bite your teeth to see the Main Event and you feel let down. Undercard was great, Between Taker-snuka, Roberts-Martel, and Rockers-Barbarian/haku....all the way to Warrior-Savage was great. the Main Evevt is suppose to be the icing on the cake insted it was a let down.

I always thought Wrestlemania 5 was the best.Then i saw this one it is awsome awsome awsome.Hogan and Slaughter was great.Randy and the Warrior was a classic.I loved the reunion of macho and hot Elizabeth.You should buy this one.OOOOOOOooooh yeah.

This was the event that got me watching the WWF, and I have been watching continuously ever since. WrestleMania VII was held in March 1991. The main event pitted the 'evil' WWF Champion, Sgt Slaughter against Hulk Hogan. Of course Hogan walked away from WM VII as World Wrestling Federation Champion. Another suprisingly good match was the 'Career Ending' match between the Ultimate Warrior and the then "Macho King" Randy Savage. The match itself lasted about 45 minuites. I say this match was suprisingly good because the Warrior hardly ever has good matches, in fact his only other good one was again against Randy Savage the following year at SummerSlam 92. This event also marked the WrestleMania debut of The Undertaker, who is MUCH different to his new 'American Badass' character. The Undertaker took on and defeated WWF legend "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. Other matches on the card were:

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Mr. Perfect VS Big Boss Man

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP:

Hart Foundation VS The Nasty Boys

BLINDFOLD MATCH: Jake "The Snake" Roberts VS "The Model" Rick Martel

"Million $ Man" Ted Dibiase VS Virgil

British Bulldog VS The Warlord

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine VS Earthquake

Texas Tornado VS Dino Bravo

Legion Of Doom VS Power and Glory

Demolition VS Tenryu and Kitao

The Mountie VS Tito Santanna

The Rockers VS The Barbarian and Haku

This is an excellent WrestleMania, if you dont already own it I suggest you buy it because in my opinion it was a classic.

WWF Wrestlemania 7
3/24/1991
Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena,Los Angeles California

The Rockers(Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty)defeated The Barbarian and Haku when Shawn pinned Haku.(Ok match,a little fast paced with nothing out of the ordinary just big moves by The Rockers).

The Texas Tornado pinned Dino Bravo

The British Bulldog(Davey Boy Smith)defeated The Warlord

WWF Tag Team Championship
The Nasty Boys w/Jimmy Hart defeated The Hart Foundation(Bret Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart)to win the WWF Tag Team Titles after Jimmy Hart gives The Nasty Boys his helmet and then they use it on Neidhart for the victory.Sidenote;This was The Hart Foundations last match on p.p.v as an tag team.They would eventully part ways with Bret becoming an singles wrestler on an pernament basis around June of 1991 and later winning the I.C title from "Mr Pefect" Curt Hennig at SummerSlam 1991 5 months later.

"Blindfold Match"
Jake "The Snake" Roberts defeated Rick "The Model" Martel in an blindfold match.(Jake would turn heel around the summer of 1991 and would start and alliance or firendship w/the Undertaker for an while before The Undertaker would eventually turn face and then defeat his former "friend" at the following years Wrestlemania in 1992).

The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer defeated Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka following an tombstone piledriver.(The Undertaker first appeared in the WWF at the 1990 Survivor Series and made an explosive impact.Then he would of well been on his way of winning the 1991 Royal Rumble if not for getting eliminated by the Legion of Doom.So now the Undertaker is w/his new manager Paul Bearer after deciding he doesnt neeed Brother Loves managerial services and he beats the legend Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka in your basic 5 minute squash match w/an explosive tombstone piledriver for the win.The Undertaker is now an real force in the WWF).

Career Ending Match(loser must retire)
The Ultimate Warrior defeated "Macho Man" Randy Savage in an career ending match.(This feud started back at the 1991 Royal Rumble."The Macho Man" had cost The Ultimate Warrior his WWF Title belt to Sgt Slaughter and the Warrior was pissed so this is how this match came about w/the loser retiring.The Macho Man lost and Sensational Sherri(Macho Mans new manager at the time)was real upset about her man losing so she comes in the ring after the match and gives Randy Savage a beating.So Miss Elizabeth comes in the ring and gets Sensational Sherri of the Macho Man and the Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth reunite and the rest is history!They get married at SummerSlam 1991 but were already married in real life.So the Macho Man loses and turns face in the process and comes out of "retirement" around November of 1991).

Genichiro Tenryu and Koji Kiato defeated Demoltion(Crush and Smash)w/Mr. Fuji

WWF Intercontinental Championship Match;
The Big Bossman w/Andre The Giant defeated Mr Perfect w/Bobby "The Brain" Heenan by disqualification however Mr Perfect retains the Intercontinental Title.(The Barbarian and Haku interfere and cause the disqualification).

Earthquake defeated Greg "The Hammer" Valentine after an [...] drop and the pin.

The Legion of Doom(Hawk and Animal)defeated Power and Glory w/Slick.

Million Dollar Championship Match'
Virgil defeated "Million Dollar" Man Ted Dibiase by countout however Ted Dibiase retains the Million Dollar Belt.(Ted Dibiase gets counted out after beating up "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at ringside).

The Mountie w/Jimmy Hart defeated Tito Santana.

WWF Championship Match;
Hulk Hogan defeated Sgt Slaughter to win the WWF Title.(Hogan wins the belt after an big boot and an leg drop.Good news though;he would lose it eight months later to the Undertaker at Survivor Series 1991).

Overall a pretty weak WrestleMania.The matches were sort of boring and didnt prove much.The Hart Foundation lose the tag team belts,The Undertaker debuts at his first Mania and Hogan wins WWF Title again-Not that it wasnt shocking though! The next years Wretlemanaia would prove to be much better.

I LOVE THE VIDEOCASSETTE OF WRESTLEMAA VII I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON.COM IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!
SINCERELY,
