    You Actually Need a Review?

    What are you sitting here reading these reviews for? GET THE TAPE! WM3 was THE moment in WWF history that can never be forgotten. Andre/Hogan is still the biggest match of all time, despite sucking like very few matches could possibly do. Does it matter that the match is bad? No. It's still mark-out moment number 1 for all wrestling fans.

    Steamboat/Savage, regarded as the greatest wrestling match of all time until Steamboat/Flair in 1989, is still unbelievable to this day. Intense psychology and crowd interaction make for the WWF's first 5-star PPV classic.

    Sure the rest of the matches weren't very good, but who cares? It's Wrestlemania 3!

    This was wrestling at its peak. Nothing has come close since. Hulkamania was at its best and it was the Golden Age of Sports Entertainment. See the show, relive the excitement, and understand exactly why Andre/Hogan is the biggest match - ever.

    MEGA CARD

    To this day I don't think WrestleMania III has been topped. Everything about this card was brilliant. I don't think fans will ever see a card like this. It took place 15 years ago and it is still talked about today.

    For starters, the crowd were just amazing. The electricity and energy coming from them was phenomenal. The way they cheered during the Hulk Hogan/Andre the Giant match was brilliant. Before Hogan and Andre had even touched each other the fans were screaming-I am surprised they didn't break all the glass with their screaming!

    The matches were just superb. Roddy Piper battled the late Adrian Adonis in an entertaining match. The mysterious and charismatic Jake Roberts-and his python-battled Elvis lookalike The Honky Tonk Man. Ricky Steamboat battled Macho Man in a match still held in high regard today by wrestling experts. And who can forget Hulk Hogan battling the late great Andre the Giant!

    The event can be summed up in one word-MEGA! These characters were larger than life. If you were to put the stars of this event in a time machine and put them against today's stars then they would destroy them.

    This really was a timeless event which will still be talked about fifty years from now.

    Brilliant

    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.

    Two Main Events!

    The main event, possibly the largest in WWF history, featured Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan in a match for the WWF Heavyweight title, that was semi-decent of a match, in my opinion. But, the show stealer had to be the classic that Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and "Macho Man" Randy Savage put on, with the WWF Intercontinental title on the line. It was a classic battle, with both men showing true resilience, giving it their all in an epic battle, that, in my mind, was better than the main event itself. Ricky Steamboat ended up winning the match, and the WWF Intercontinental Title. That match alone is worth watching Wrestlemania III.

      The DVD replaced some of the theme songs for some wrestlers. This was done due to song rights. KoKo B Ware Piledriver which would later become his theme song from 1987-1989. Ricky The Dragon Steamboat Hillbilly Jim Don't go Messing with a Country Boy replaced with generic music.
