SLAM! Wrestling Review: By JOHN POWELL

For the first time ever WrestleMania is held outside the United States. As
the majority of us at SLAM! Wrestling call Ontario home and were part of the
SkyDome attendance that day, we can't help to be slightly biased as far as
WrestleMania 6 is concerned. I, myself, was sitting with my future wife in
the nose bleed section praying that Hulk-A-Mania would finally be destroyed.
That day I got my wish.

WrestleMania 6 was very simular to WrestleMania 5. Both had so-so undercards
chased by a main event of collasal proportions. Now dubbed The Immortal One,
Hulk Hogan is hounded by a man who represents the future of the WWF, the
Intercontinental Champion, The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior is so convinced
that he can beat Hogan he's putting up the I.C. belt in a title-for-title
match. That alone makes things very interesting. Neither is really the heel
though the WWF does try its best to portray the Warrior as su ch by having
him assume a wilder look (frizzy hair) and putting down the Hulk-A-Mania
movement as outdated and weak. For me personally, I can't hard remember
hearing a louder live pop than when The Warrior covered Hogan for the 1-2-3.
It was simply amazing to be there.

Favourite Moments: Hogan leaving SkyDome looking all dejected like as
Warrior whooped it up in the ring. The Colossal Connection (Haku / Andre The
Giant) and Demolition slugging it out.

Least Favourite Moments: Jimmy Snuka as a jobber.

Rating: Good.
