WWE WrestleMania VII (1991)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Amateur movie with Big budget

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

First off, yes, the Slaughter/Iraq angle was stupid. But the Heat for the main event was off the charts and, shockingly, Slaughter carries Hogan to a decent match! The Warrior vs Savage is one of the best booked matches in history, and to not enjoy it is a travesty! A 5 star classic for sure. Some other bright spots included a great opener between the Rockers/Haku & Barbarian. Bulldog/Warlord was also much better than expected! Surprise appearances for Elizabeth & Andre the Giant just added to the big event feel here!Sure, there was a lot of filler at this show too, but its still a fun card and was the first Wrestlemania I ever got to see.A must to see for sure!

WrestleMania VII was just phenomenal for so many reasons. It was one of those events that had something for everyone. There were great matches, major upsets, debuts by certain stars and final appearances by others.(SPOILERS THROUGHOUT)The main event saw Hulk Hogan battle 'Iraqi' supporter Sgt. Slaughter. At the time I thought wrestling capitilising on the Gulf War was very bad taste considering that servicemen were risking their lives in Iraq. The Gulf War ended in February 1991 and this event took place in March 1991 so really the Iraqi angle should have been dropped. But I cannot deny that the fans really enjoyed seeing Hogan beat Sgt. Slaughter to a pulp.The undercard was just amazing. The Undertaker made his debut by burying Superfly Jimmy Snuka. Jake "The Snake" Roberts fought The Model in a Blindfold match. The popular Hart Foundation lost the tag team titles to the despicable Nasty Boys. The Mountie made his debut and beat veteran wrestler Tito Santana. The Ultimate Warrior beat the Macho King in a career match and it was great to see the Macho King's old flame Elizabeth reunite with him. There were other great matches as well.WrestleMania VII marked the final appearance of two WWF icons. The late Andre the Giant made his last appearance here by going to the aid of The Big Boss Man who was under attack from the then unpopular Heenan Family. And we also got to see the last ever appearance of Demolition who fell to Japenese duo Tenryu and Kitao.A truly memorable card which one can enjoy over and over again. This was the last truly great WrestleMania in my opinion. Since then we have had average and at times poor WrestleMania events.

I was in 6th grade for this show and it was my first ever Wrestlemania!...the Warrior/Savage match is one of my all time favs with a classic ending...and most of weaker matches are pretty short....main event was nothing special, Hogan/Slaughter, but like I said, it was my first....so its a sentimental fav of mine....I would say 9 out of 10 stars
