This Wrestlemania was originally supposed to take place outside of Los Angeles, but Vince McMahon scrapped the idea. This was because Iraqi sympathiser Sgt Slaughter was supporting the Gulf War and he set the USA flag on fire. So while brave American soldiers were dying in the gulf, McMahon made money out of this. In this writers opinion McMahon has a habit of doing this. McMahon thought a sniper would kill Robert 'Sgt Slaughter' Remus for real.
So many matches were crammed onto the card and so many matches were cut short.
Results from Wrestlemania VII are as follows:
- The Rockers beat Haku and The Barbarian in an entertaining opening contest.
- Texas Tornado beat Canadian strongman Dino Bravo in a very short match.
- The Nasty Boys downed The Hart Foundation in a strong match. One interesting note is when Sean Mooney was interviewing The Hart Foundation before the match. Jim Heidhart said shouting "Knobs! Saggs! You say you're going to rock The Foundation, you say you are going to beat The Foundation! You say you're going to crack The Foundation! Well to crack The Foundation you have got to be right at the bottom and that's exactly where you guys are!" Read the paragraph what Anvil said, it means that they could crack the Foundation after all!
- The British Bulldog beat the Warlord in a short match.
- Jake 'the snake' Roberts beat Rick Martel in a memorable blindfold match.
- Virgil downed 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase via count out.
- The Big Bossman defeated Intercontinental Champion Mr Perfect via DQ when Haku and Barbarian ram in.
- Kitao and Tenryu defeated Demolition - Crush and Smash (Barry Darsow) - The Mountie defeated Tito Santana in a very short match.
- The Ultimate Warrior defeated 'Macho Man' Randy Savage in a career ending match.
- The Undertaker downed 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka.
- Earthquake defeated Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine in a short match.
- Legion of Doom defeated Power and Glory in a terrible short match.
- Hulk Hogan defeated Sgt Slaughter to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
Overall Grade - B- There were too many matches, but I can't help noticing that too many performers on the show are sadly no longer with us today.
RIP - Lord Alfred Hayes, Gorilla Monsoon, Joey Morella (referee), Texas Tornado, Dino Bravo, Hercules, Big Bossman, Mr Perfect, Andre the Giant, British Bulldog, Hawk, Elizabeth.
