ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

zkonedog For the first two Wrestlemania events, as well as the first half of this third production, the concept of Wrestlemania was very hit-and-miss (with probably more misses than hits, to be perfectly honest). However, once Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and "Macho Man" Randy Savage wage an epic battle for the Intercontinental Title, the formula really clicks into place.What really changes in Wrestlemania III is that the drama of the whole spectacle is finally allowed to be played out. Whereas other previous wrestling events relied too heavily on celebrity gimmicks or outrageous personalities, the halfway point of Wrestlemania III suddenly proves that the combination of athletic wrestling, fun characters, and dramatic backstories can carry each and every event (not just the main events).After Dragon/Macho, Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. Honkytonk Man is another fun match, while of course the main Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant finale is one of the most revered matches in WWF history if only for the kind of buzz it generated for the business.A lot of credit also has to go to the amazing broadcast team of Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who inject great humor (from an adult perspective) into the proceedings with their satire of each and every match. No announcing pairing every topped these two.So, although Wrestlemania III is just an "okay" event when looked at from beginning to end (hence the three-star rating), it marks the turning point for WWF pay-per-views...the event where they finally start to figure out the winning formula for creating blockbuster wrestling events.

Joseph P. Ulibas Wrestlemania III (1987) took place during the apex of Hulkamania. The card was held in the cavernous Silverdome. To see over 70,000 people packed into a stadium to watch wrestle is a site to behold. The people were screaming and cheering like crazy for the Hulkster who faced his biggest challenge yet to himself and Hulkamania. The Boss himself Andre the Giant challenged Hulk Hogan to a title shot. Like all of the Hulk's friends they grow jealous of his spotlight and they all want to take him out and grab his gold championship belt. Believe it or not this started out over the size of a trophy!!!The card is the most entertaining so far out of the first three Wrestlemanias. But the most talked about match on this card isn't the hyped match between Hogan and Andre but the show Macho Man and Ricky Steamboat put on in front of the fans. Some have called it one of the best ever. Rumor has it many people were upset about the two upstaging the two stars and poor Steamboat was punished for it. After another year in the W.W.F. he headed back for Jim Crockett Promotions where he and long time rival Ric Flair would put on some of the best displays of old school pro wrestling.All of the top stars are featured in this supercard. Titan Sports and the W.W.F. where at their peak of popularity and revenue generating. From this point on it seemed that Hulkamania would go on forever. But this was the begining of the end.A

mathewshires These WERE the days for the WWF. It's 1987, the absolute height of Hulkamania and there's 93,000 VERY loud fans cheering and booing in all the right places. Perfect. Randy Savage vs Rick Steamboat is the finest 15 minutes of your life, it's a truly great match. Elsewhere, the matches aren't all great, but the sense of history and fun carry them all through. A real wrestling classic, up there with WrestleMania 10 as a 100% great event.
