WrestleMania 2 Movie Reviews

Getting Closer…

After the success of the original event, “Wrestlemania 2” ups the ante a bit with better production values and a larger sense of this being a truly not-to-be-missed event. Yet, it still relies far too much on the “gimmick” of celebrities and doesn’t just let the plot lines play out.

The highlights of this event include:

-Ray Charles kicking off the proceedings with a stirring melody of patriotic standards. Really gives the show a sense of gravitas right off the bat.

-Randy “Macho Man” Savage vs. George “The Animal” Steele. Two great wrestling personalities playing off of each other.

-A Battle Royale featuring NFL players and (spoiler) won by the always entertaining Andre The Giant.

-The boxing match between Mr. T. and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper works well with the hype…but then kind of fizzles in the actual match.

-Same thing for the Hogan vs. Bundy finale…pretty good build-up but the match itself was nothing to write home about.

-The fact that a guy named “Uncle Elmer” could be on this card (!).

All in all, I give “Wrestlemania 2” a 2.5 ranking. The show looks better than the first, and (though not great by any means) many of the matches are an improvement as well. However, it is very clear that the correct formula for holding a big pro wrestling event is still being worked out. Instead of just letting the story lines play out and the personalities shine, the card instead still relies too much on celebrity involvement and gimmicks.

As my title indicates, this is an event that is taking the first baby steps towards greatness in this production.

One of the biggest examples of sequels not always as good as the original

WrestleMania 2 thoughts.

WrestleMainia 2 was the 2nd annual WrestleMania that was held in 3 locations, UnionDale New York, Los Angeles California, and Rosemont Illinois. Each event had it’s own card. After the success of the previous events, Vince idea of 3 locations sounded like a good idea on paper but this event proved this should be a one time thing.

The Good – The Tag Team Championship was a really good match. I was really entertaind by the British Bulldogs. They were very fun to watch and the crowd was really hyped.

The Meh – Celebrities being around was good idea but I questioned was it necessary having this many. The Battle Royal was quite fun to watch. Not sure if having a bunch of NFL stars in the mixed with pro wrestlers though was a bright. Obviously this was only to draw numbers to people who love football and Wrestling.

The Bad – Pretty much everything else on the show was kinda bland. Also the opening was atrocious. I don’t blame the crowd for chanting “Bulls***”. They were very upset of it opening in a draw. Also 3 locations was a bad idea and god I hope it never happens again. Who would want to pay so much to go to the show only to watch 2 hours of it in another location on a giant TV screen? Most of the matches were so short and rushed much to the reported info from the attendance. The Main Event for Hogan and Bundy was a lackluster as well.

Overall – Pretty terrible event. Luckily the very next year, WrestleMania you can say truly started a legacy after the way bigger improvement it had.

SEQUELS

Sequels are rarely as good as the original this is an example of that. A year on from the show where Mr Vincent k McMahon gambled it all on his one off show. This feels way less of a gamble and ? cashing in on the year before.
