Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE WrestleMania I 31/03/1985 Match 9/Part 9/Conclusion by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning/Disclaimer: there is flashing effects/colourful effects. I am not or never have been a professional wrestler.

Satisfying Conclusion: 6/10

Recommend Watch: 6/10

Match Total: 38/60 - this match is good

Comments: the match outlay/match slot outlay is chaotic with or without the ceremonial entrances of everyone involved in some capacity. I have some questions why is Finkel reading the entrance to Martin? [If he has visual issues I apologise] he has glasses on, but to make sure am not being harsh I will apologise again. Moving on why is Liberace there? I know he is meant to be the special guest timekeeper which gets to ring the ring bell at the beginning and at the end of this match, which the normal timekeeper does this anyway yes you rings the bell and then Liberace has this small handbell in his hands and rings it [ which we the viewers can hear it and people nearby can probably hear it, but because of the crowd being electrifying this bell would be as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Monsoon comments or questions a tags at one point or another in this match, next we have Piper's trio leaving and then coming back; Monsoon exert there is no escape from this one folks, this is for all the marbles." Which this got me thinking “So the WWF championship is on the line? No I thought not so how can it be for all the marbles then if at the very least the WWF Championship is not on the line? By the way just for the record I am absolutely fine with this match the way it is, I just don't like this; how can it be for all the marbles it's not like the WWF, Intercontinental or the WWF Tag Team Championships are on the line here.

There is a reason why I brought up about Monsoon these tags [before I continue I would have brought up about these tags regardless,] but in this case I have to ask why does Monsoon comment or question these tags when Piper uses this red chair Hogan and Monsoon doesn't say anything like "That is a disqualification right there. Yes with both referees seeing it with granted I have to give the possibility Patterson's vision may have been blocked by dealing with another situation, but then again this is purely speculation [but on closer inspection there is the possibility that Patterson saw this looking at a split-second wearing his head was looking down diagonally.] Ali definitely saw it as he was on top of the situation after it happened. But to be honest the only one that looked good after having this match is Mr. T. for anyone that wants to be a professional wrestler, just take look at this match and it will teach you/show you one lesson and that is this; you may not be the most technical wrestler or flashiest or enthusiastic or other. But my point is this; do/bring what you can to the table and do it well this is what precisely Mr. T. does, if he did wrestle much more frequently than what he did he could have been regarded as a workhorse [this wrestling terminology means; basically someone that is reliable in the ring nothing too fancy but the wrestling industry is built on these wrestlers.]

Background information: after this match; Monsoon and Venture look at the replays and discuss it, hand things over to Okerlund to get a interview with the winners of our main event; Okerlund sends it back to Monsoon and Venture to sign things off for this pay-per-view and we are left with ending credits and still photographs/pictures of this pay-per-view.

This Pay-Per-View receives: 6/10, this Pay-Per-View is good; I mean all things considered this is a fair outcome. I mean it doesn't have any poor or negative matches on this card as you will see it does have one mixed and the rest are positive, but the Hayes segments and the chaotic and messy main event also justify this marking more and finally the crowd deserve a quick mention for being there for this pay-per-view, I mean this in the context of they made this pay-per-view feel a big deal and I know it is and was, but the crowd didn’t disappoint in their participation, ranging from 6/10 to 10/10. You see this is why the WWF/WWE should have never consistently drummed into our heads that our voices do not matter when from beginning to end of this pay-per-view it clearly does matter.

The highest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: The Executioner vs. Tito Santana: Singles Match with 46/60.

The lowest ranking match on this card based on attributes that we see would be: Brutus Beefcake [with “Luscious" Johnny Valiant] vs. David Sammartino [with Bruno Sammartino:] Singles Match with 34/60.
