First, what I saw was "Caesar" and "Cleopatra" on an elephant, how childish...1. Intercontinental Championship: Champ-Shawn Michaels (go first, blah) Vs. Tatanka - Most of the match was average, end was way better, but stupid count-out ending. 6/10 2. HeadShrinkers Vs. The Steiner Brothers - Some nice moves, but Steiners could do it better 6/10 3. Crush Vs. Doink - That was average bout, but with funny ending. 5.5/10 4. Razor Ramon Vs. Bob Backlund - Quick fresh match. Razor finishes with Cradle Pin. Crowd chant for heel Razor! Funny, isn't it? 6/10 5. Tag Team Championship: Champs go first...-I.R.S./Million Dollar Man Vs. Hulk Hogan/Brutus Beefcake - Yes, Brutus "Ridiculous" Beefcake without charisma is back. *SIGH :-/ Match was boring old-school wrestling. BUt Hulkamania running wild, lol. 4/10 6. Mr. Perfect Vs. Lex Luger - Luger is terrible wrestler and he beats Mr. Perfect in a match, that was quite boring. Shame. 5.5/10 7. Giant Gonzales (THE GREATEST LOL) Vs. The Undertaker - Fu*k, that was bad, Gonzáles should never wrestle. 4/10 8. WWF Championship: Yokozuna Vs. Champ-Bret Hart - It was so predictable that Bret drop the belt for Yokozuna, and that set belt for Hogan, but why that happened in 1 evening? Pfff. 6/10 For Hogan's next title reign -5/10

Here are the matches...Tatanka vs Shawn Michaels – Intercontinental title match: Decent chain-wrestling and use of side headlock to start with as Shawn gains control. Plenty of reversals and Irish-whip sequences here and Shawn scores with nice moves like a sunset-flip off the top rope and modified victory rolls. Tatanka's offence is more straight-forward with chops and axe-handles but very good with his reversals. Shawn removes the ref from the ring for no good reason and gets caught in Tatanka's fall-away slam. The ref gets back in the ring and declares the match a count-out victory for Tatanka when it probably made sense to give him a disqualification victory or just let Tatanka get the clean pin to make him look legitimate. 6/10 Steiner Brothers vs Headshrinkers: A tough match as Scott gets beaten up after getting dropped through the ropes from what appears to be a botched hotshot and Afa's interference by smacking a kendo-cane across his back. The Headshrinker's ability to withstand huge amounts of pain from their heads was consistently on display and The Steiner's power was evident throughout. Scott ends the match with a sick-looking Frankinsteiner. A typical WWF Steiner match. 5/10Crush vs Doink: Crush dominates to start with a neck-breaker and a convincing foot rake across Doink's eyes. Doink comes back with axe-handles, an old-school pile-driver and a dropkick off the top to get Crush reeling. Crush recovers with a military press and goes for his Cranium Crusher. Doink knocks out the ref trying to escape it. Double Doink comes from under the ring and attacks Crush with an arm cast. The two Doinks look at each other and complete a convincing reflection sequence. The match was not that bad but notorious for it's debate on gimmick wrestling. 3/10 Bob Backlund vs Razor Ramon: This single-handedly buried Bob Backlund, the face, who jumps around like a lame rabbit. Backlund makes a meal of his match before Razor, out of nowhere, snares Backlund in a cradle. Backlund the 'wrestler's wrestler' is defeated legitimately by a heel and wouldn't be seen on PPV again for the rest of the year. 3/10 Megamaniacs vs Money Inc – Tag title match: Everybody notices Hogan's damaged eye and the 'official' line is Money Inc beat Hogan up. Money Inc beat-down on Brutus after Megamaniacs clear the ring and decent psychology rules in the early going with reasonable old-school formula tag wrestling. Ted eventually removes the protective mask from Brutus's face (worn because of his paragliding accident). Later on the ref gets clobbered while Brutus attempts the sleeper-hold on Ted, allowing Brutus to smack Money Inc with his mask and Hogan to drop the leg on Ted. However, the ref is still down so Jimmy Hart turns his coat inside out to conveniently show black and white stripes and counts the pinfall. Megamaniacs think they have won but another official comes out('Dangerous' Danny Davis the official used to wrestle in 1987-1988) and award the disqualification to Money Inc. This loss meant little to Hogan as all will soon be revealed...4/10Mr Perfect vs 'Narcissist' Lex Luger: Both men chain-wrestle to start, Perfect works on Luger's legs and Luger works on Perfect's back (good continuity knowing Perfect already had a bad back from Summerslam 1991). Perfect comes back with a sunset-flip, backdrop, slingshot and a few near fall attempts. The end comes when the ref, who spotted feet on the ropes all through the match, counts an illegitimate landslide. Luger then smacks Perfect over the head with his 'loaded forearm' (metal inside his arm as a result of a motorcycle accident). The match lacked cohesion and chemistry and left me disappointed. 5/10 Undertaker (with Paul Bearer) vs Giant Gonzalas (with Harvey Wippleman): The late Gonzalas was formerly El Gigante in WCW sporting a flesh body suit. Both men start by choking each other. Undertaker keeps getting up from Gonzalas offence which makes Wippleman throw in a chloroform napkin in the ring and puts Undertaker to sleep causing his disqualification. Undertaker gets stretchered out and then returns to the ring. Horrendous match with some unconvincingly selling. 2/10 Bret 'Hitman' Hart vs Yokozuna – World title match: Bret goes on the attack straight away, dropping the late Yokozuna and tying his feet in the ropes. Yokozuna hits a slam and the crowd mark out for his big leg-drop which gets a 2 count. The crowd chant 'USA' for Canadian born Bret. Yokozuna applies a nerve-hold. Bret comes back with a bulldog off the top rope for a 2 count and uses basic aerial moves. Bret mounts punches on Yokozuna while on turnbuckles and Yokozuna desperately pulls him away, Bret hangs on to the turnbuckle padding and it rips exposing the turnbuckle and Bret sends Yokozuna's head into it. By the ropes at this point, Bret applies the sharpshooter but Mr.Fuji throws salt in Hart's eyes allowing Yokozuna to get the cheap pin in one of the quickest main-events in Wrestlemania history. Hogan comes out and pretends to like Bret Hart. Fuji taunts Hogan and puts the belt on the line. Hogan after a short delay obliges and accepts the challenge. One big boot and leg-drop later and Hogan becomes the new WWF champion. Yokozuna held the belt for about 2 or 3 minutes! The crowd popped for Hogan's triumphant return and simultaneously sent a shock-wave of anger throughout the wrestling world, the argument being Hogan comes across as lazy after Bret does all the dirty work. 4/10 The location and pomp and circumstance at Wrestlemania 9 was great but the wrestling severely lacked Hulk Hogan at the end really irritated me. This Wrestlemania would be important for introducing Jim Ross to the announcer's team as Gorilla Monsoon steps down but would also, sadly but probably fitting through Hogan, be the start of the destruction of that wonderful 'magic act' known as wrestling.

Terrible! The Worst WrestleMania ever! WrestlMania IV even beats this out! Too much Hogan at the end really ruined it as he was just too old. Match Of The Night ironically though, went to Hogans match (**3/4). The Doink stuff was horiific.Not Recommended.
