10 Fascinating WWE Facts About WrestleMania 14

[Les]

Owen Hart was one true professional. Got even more respect for him now after watching this.

[Waltown]

and fyi, michaels was dropping the title to Stone cold. got a huge ovation at the end of the night after cameras went off air since his back was a wreck

[ricandevil]

Great that Owen gave props to Luna for not only putting over Sable but to "fear" her when she was obviously 1000x better, it sucks Luna didn't get to actually wrestle with the caliber of women we have today. RIP Luna & Owen

[Confidential]

Nobody ever mentions the weird fact that Stephanie and Linda McMahon sat in the actual audience for a portion of the show because neither were faces fan knew yet. They can be seen in the crowd in average fan seating during the Pete Rose promo.

Undertaker was the true Certified G throughout his career, making it clear to Michaels that he has to his ego go and do the favours for the future, is a fine example.

[Briansgate]

I remember watching this on PPV, and the moment the Rock gave that promo, my buddy and I knew right then and there The Rock was destined for greatness. So glad it payed off. This was also the last WM I truly loved from top to bottom.

The Star Stangeld banner really IS moving, Adam. Truly.

Of you look it up here on youtube... Steve Austin told Jim Ross he HAS in his possession the winged eagle belt he won from HBK at WM14 along with the original Smoking Skull belt and the Intercontinental title he won from Owen Hart after the piledriver at Summerslam 97

14 was my first 'Mania. This single PPV is what I think secured my love for modern wrestling.

I'm still worried about Jack in the office closet

[Soultsukino]

Being in Maine I remember this one. The Friday before, our local NBC station talked about this Mania on their morning show. The host talked about how big it was looking to be and about Mike Tyson before saying something about it "Being a big embarrassment for the City of Boston and New England" Weird thing is, when Owen Hart died the next year, he devoted pretty much the entire news show to him.

Also worth mentioning was the public work out they did earlier in the week. It was a trainwreck. I guess Shawn was in a bad mood and one of the fans either touched him or Shawn got hit by something, and he just stormed off. Someone talked him into coming back and they filmed some stuff but Shawn wasn't having any of it that day.

I'm seriously loving this video series- I look forward to a new one each day.

[BayPawLobeezy_World]

And the band for Shawn Entrance was legendary i still watch it from time to time till this day

[lisquidsnake]

these are fun to watch while taking a shit

[thewab]

5:36 - "Austin was the last man to win it, a shade over ten years after Macho Man Randy Savage became the first man to capture it at WrestleMania IV."

Umm…. I don't wanna be "that" guy, but I'm gonna HERE because Savage was actually the SECOND guy to "capture" that belt; not the first.

Andre the Giant was the first to capture it after "pinning" Hulk Hogan on February 5, 1988. Hogan did his backstage interview with his 1986 belt, but on his way to the ring, he was wearing the Winged Eagle belt. Andre captured it that same night. Macho Man would go on to win it on March 27, 1988.

Never stop this series, and maybe do Royal Rumble next, followed by SummerSlam and Survivor Series...then others: KOTR, MITB, EC, HIAC, TLC! Capitol Punishment (jk). Maybe also some WCW PPVS...Starrcade, War Games, Superbrawl, Lethal Lottery, Halloween Havoc. You can Do

[saadj]

Last time I was this early Zack Ryder was IC champ

[coolchemist]

Love the series. Takes me back down memory lane. I was a teenager during WM 10 which was the first I ever watched and this series is making me remember "the good ol' days" lol.

[chrisbreezy]

Call me old-fashioned, but that live performance of Are You Ready? is one of my favorites as far as WrestleMania goes. My only complaint is that I wished Howard Finkel had waited until Shawn got to the ring to introduce the champ since you could barely hear him over the DX Band and Chris Warren's screeching.

[nujabeez]

And of course no mention of kane tombstoneing pete rose before his match against undertaker
