Wrestlemania VI:"The Ultimate Challenge"

Wrestlemania VI:"The Ultimate Challenge"

Card=Rick Martel beat Koko B Ware in a painfully short, waste of space!
0/10-why this match was even on the card, let alone the opener is a mystery
to wrestling fans the world over! Rick Martel was on an impressive winning
streak and his feud with former partner Tito Santana had reached it's one
year anniversary so why on earth wasn't it Martel vs Santana at
Wrestlemania VI? That could have been a classic match, not to mention an
excellent way to start the show but no, we got a 2-3 minute, nothing match!
Brutus Beefcake beat Mr Perfect in a watchable match, that was
obviously carried all the way by Perfect, with the crowds cheers for
Beefcake significantly helping matters 4.5/10. Roddy Piper & Bad News Brown
went to a no contest in a terrible brawl, which is only memorable for Hot
Rod wrestling the match while painted 50% Black 0.5/10. Ted Dibiase beat
Jake Roberts by countout in a good but disappointing match that was
undoubtably
let down by the weak ending. Plus the fact the crowd were more interested in
performing a "canadian wave" than the match didn't do it any favours. Still
a good, solid match though 7/10. Orient Express beat Rockers by countout in
a surprisingly disappointing match. 4/10-thankfully these two teams would
renew their feud in 1991 and produce several classic matches together.
Earthquake beat Hercules in a predictable, power match 2/10. Hart
Foundation beat Boshovieks in a supershort, LOD-style squash 1/10-at least
they spared us! The Barbarian beat Tito Santana in a passable match,
obviously carried by Tito who sold Barbarians finishing flying clothesline
in brilliantly OTT fashion 3/10. Rick Rude beat Jimmy Snuka in a
short but watchable match 2.5/10, Big Bossman beat Akeem in a predictable
"ex-partners" match 1.5/10. Hacksaw Jim Duggan beat Dino Bravo in a very
poor
match 0.5/10-great to see Quake squash Duggan after the match! (Mixed Tag
Match)Dusty Rhodes/Sapphire beat Randy Savage/Sherri in a passable
"entertainment match" 2.5/10-poor Randy! (WWF Tag Titles)Demolition beat
Colossal Connection in a match made watchable thanks to the crowd 3/10. (WWF
TitlevsI-C Title)The Ultimate Warrior beat Hulk Hogan in a shockingly
classic
encounter! 9/10-the crowd definetly made this match seem a whole lot better
than it should have been, but Hulk and Warrior both deserve credit too,
playing their parts perfectly and the way the match was so carefully staged
is another reason it's still thought of today as one of Wrestlemania's
greatest matches.

Overall=I've found this to be one of the more overrated Wrestlemania's as
years have gone by because apart from the must see Hogan/Warrior spectacle,
theres nothing else on the card that is worth mentioning apart from the
good but still lacklustre Dibiase/Roberts match. 5.5/10-All in all the crowd
was well into most of the matches and made some of the weaker matches
watchable. Best Match=Hogan/Warrior. Worst
Match=A tie between Martel/Koko & Piper/Brown.

My WM-VI Card=[WWF TitlevsI-C Title]Hogan vs Warrior, [WWF Tag
Titles]Demolition vs Twin Towers vs Hart Foundation(the addition of Bret &
Jim could have helped the match!), Dibiase vs Jake, Martel vs Tito, Rockers
vs Orient Express(longer with a better ending!), Earthquake vs Snuka(would
have given Quake more clout going into his feud with Hogan by beating a
legend like Snuka, plus the match might have been better than
Quake/Hercules) [Cage Match]Rude vs Piper(they had a fun feud which
produced a great cage match! Rude could have won and that
way would have looked a more legit threat to Warrior at Summerslam 90 in
their cage match), Savage vs Dusty(might have been better than the
mixed tag match!), Perfect vs Beefcake(I'd have kept Hennig's "Perfect
Record" alive though!).
