WWE WrestleMania 5 1989

Perennial team player Hercules finally got his well-earned WrestleMania win, over another guy who was stuck in the "good hand" role.

It's fun to watch this and remind ourselves that Bruce Prichard and Roddy Piper were very close friends. And to remind ourselves that smoking was cool in the 80s.

I hate the main event. It's long an boring. The ending is unimaginative, with Savage flat-out putting over the Hulk-up spot without any nuance. Randy deserved better.
