WrestleMania
Before I begin, I'd like to point out that this is my fourth story. However, none of my stories have been reviewed or even looked at. What, you guys don't like wrestling anymore? I strongly consider you give this fanfic a chance. It's better than half the crap you guys call "wrestling stories." The story begins in the year of 1984. The WWE, then known as the WWF, was going through a period of decline. Donald Trump was prepared to purchase the company's assets soon, and a few of the WWF's stars either left the company to join WCW, WWF's rival, or had retired. Attendance records began to spiral downward, and there was beginning to be doubt in the locker room that the company would last even another year. However, the transformation of the WWF began on May 20, 1984 when chairman Vince McMahon announced that in less than a year, the WWF would be hosting an event that would change the company's misfortunes around for good. It was entitled WrestleMania. McMahon said it would be the flagship show of the WWF and it would feature star-studded matches and unthinkable encounters. Soon, the WWF was back in the headlines, but for all the wrong reasons. Many people claimed that it couldn't be done, that it was a "Starrcade ripoff"(Starrcade is WCW's flagship show), and that WWF's financial problems wouldn't allow the show to even thrive. On July 4, 1984, Bill Gates announced that would be donating $1,000,000 to the company to help produce the event. Soon, money started pouring in from many honorable donors, including then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan. By September of 1984, WWF had more than enough money to rent an arena, get live entertainment, and TV spots for WrestleMania. On September 25, 1984, McMahon announced that Madison Square Garden would host the event. It would take place on March 31, 1985 on closed-circuit television. Over an estimated one million viewers were projected to watch it on NBC. Everything had fallen into place. Now let's get on to the buildup for the matches, especially the main event...
