Wrestling with Memories Ep 19: Wrestlemania VIII!


Listen Later

Having taken the podcast universe through the build up to the big show, the guys review the first Wrestlemania they saw in 'real time' back in 1992 - Wrestlemania VIII!  

Fash and Wax discuss the beginning of Shawn Michaels journey to becoming Mr Wrestlemania, The Undertaker going 2-0, an unexpected tag team return, a horrible eight man tag and two classic title matches - Roddy Piper vs Bret Hart for the IC championship and the first of a double main event with Ric Flair defending the WWE title vs The Macho Man Randy Savage!!!   

There is even some chat on memories of VHS cassettes! Those who know, know 😂

We discuss how the card fell down in quality after the Macho Man vs Ric Flair match, though Wax still tries to find some positives!   

This leads us to chat about the second main event: the much anticipated clash between Hulk Hogan and Sid Justice! This was hyped as Hulk Hogan's last match at the time (they got us good!) and is considered to be one of the worst main events in Wrestlemania history... 

But it also saw the extremely memorable return of the Ultimate Waaaarrriorrrrrrr! Now that was worth it!
