Wreslemania 23 (and #3, too)

Wrestlemania is two hours away. It's the 23rd installment, and I remember Wrestlemania III twenty years ago like it was, well, twenty years ago. Ha! All kidding aside, it seems like it was only just a few years ago.

Wrestlemania III is famous for a few things in wrestling circles, the most famous being the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant match in which Hogan body slammed Andre, the first time in his career that the move had ever been initiated on the Giant.



The 450 pound King Kong Bundy attacked midget wrestler (or little person wrestler, if you will) Little Beaver.



Ricky Steamboat defeated Randy 'Macho Man' Savage in possibly the greatest match in Wrestlemania history. It's certainly my favorite, and it's one of the rare occurrences in wrestling fan geek-dom that most everyone agrees on it's (the match's) brilliance.

Part 1



Part 2



Alice Cooper made an appearance with Jake 'the Snake' Roberts.

I'll leave you with a bit of 'Mania trivia: Howard Finkel is the only person to ever appear on every single Wrestlemania Pay Per View, something not even Vince McMahon has done.
