This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by popular guest Brandon Rice. It’s Wrestlemania Season, so we talk about the first one, held in 1985. We discuss:<\/p>\n

–We talk about David Schultz trying to pick a fight with Mr. T weeks before the show.<\/p>\n

–The Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper match on MTV that introduced Mr. T into the angle.<\/p>\n

–The wave of pre-show appearances by Hulk Hogan and Mr. T, and them hosting Saturday Night Live the night before the show.<\/p>\n

–The riot that almost occurred when the Felt Forum oversold over 1,000 tickets.<\/p>\n

–What if Wrestlemania was a flop?<\/p>\n

–Where and how did we see the first Wrestlemania?<\/p>\n

–Had The Freebirds stayed in the WWF, what role might they have played at Wrestlemania?<\/p>\n

–Muhammad Ali was heavily hyped as the referee for the main event, but he actually had a very minor role as the ref outside the ring. What happened?<\/p>\n

Plus we hype a pool for a tournament that’s not going to happen! What are you waiting for? DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN TO THIS WICKED GOOD BAD BOY!<\/p>\n

STICK TO WRESTLING: Give us sixty minutes and perhaps, indeed, we will give you a rawbone podcast.<\/p>\n
