On this episode of the Turk & Raz Podcast we revisit the event that launched Wrestling into the mainstream. We are talking about the granddaddy of them all - The very first WrestleMania. On March 31, 1985, World Wrestling Federation (better known today as World Wrestling Entertainment) ushered in a new era with a star-studded card that started wrestling on the road to becoming a multi billion-dollar sport. If it were not for WrestleMania there probably would not be PPV or two-hour wrestling show every Monday Night?
Join us as we break down the legendary card – featuring Hulk Hogan and TV sensation Mr. T battling against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff in the main event. Plus, we cover the original Mr. WrestleMania (eat your heart out Shawn Michaels). That’s right, we are talking about the international man of mystery himself – the Executioner! Thanks for listening!
