WrestleMania V

1. Hercules defeated King Haku by pinfall

This is not exactly a match I would pick to open my biggest show of the year. I've always liked Haku, but this is not a good match.

Rating: .25 (out of 5)

2. The Twin Towers defeated The Rockers by pinfall

***Match Of The Night***

This was a real fun match and probably the match the crowd was most into, outside of the main event. Unfortunately, this was the highlight of the night, at least in my opinion.

Rating: 2.75

3. Brutus Beefcake and Ted Dibiase wrestled to a double countout

The crowd was absolutely silent throughout this match and it stunk. Why are there so many non-finishes on this show? Would it have really killed them to put Dibiase over fricken Beefcake?
Rating: .5

4. The Bushwackers defeated The Rougeaus by pinfall

All I can say is, why?

Rating: .25

5. Mr. Perfect defeated Blue Blazer by pinfall

This is one that you wish could have gone just a little bit longer, because it felt like they were just getting going. Two great wrestlers, may they rest in peace.

Rating: 2.25

6. Demolition defeated The Powers Of Pain and Mr. Fuji by pinfall

Two teams that looked tough, but only one was good. This was just kind of blah.

Rating: .5

7. Dino Bravo defeated Ronnie Garvin

Another match the crowd didn't really care about. This definitely is one of the worst crowds in WrestleMania history.

Rating: .75

8. The Brain Busters defeated Strike Force by pinfall

This could have been a great match, but they did the whole Strike Force breakup, which was entertaining as well. It just didn't make this a great match.

Rating: 2

9. Jake Roberts defeated Andre The Giant by disqualification

This match is bad. Like Giant Gonzales/Undertaker bad.

Rating: 0

10. The Hart Foundation defeated Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine by pinfall

This was okay, but I would have much rather have seen the Harts take on someone else. Or at least give Valentine a different partner.

Rating: 2

11. Rick Rude defeated Ultimate Warrior by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship

This was memorable more because it was kind of shocking that Rude won, not because it was a great match. Their match at SummerSlam would be much better.

Rating: 1.5

12. Jim Duggan and Bad News Brown wrestled to a double disqualification

This was just an excuse to get both guys on the card and have a no finish.

Rating: .25

13. Red Rooster defeated Bobby Heenan by pinfall

I still don't understand how the Rooster wasn't huge.

Rating: .25

14. Hulk Hogan defeated Randy Savage by pinfall to win the WWF Championship

This was a solid match that felt important. Hogan gave one of his better efforts and Savage was his usual stellar self. I just don't think it's anywhere near as good as everyone else seems to think.

Rating: 2.25

This was definitely a step up from the previous year's WrestleMania. However, there are still too many matches and not enough good ones to really make this a "great" show. It is still worth a look, just get ready to fast forward through a lot of the matches.
