WrestleMania VI

1. Rick Martel defeated Koko B. Ware by pinfall

Nothing special, but not bad either. It would have been nice to see Martel have a match against a more legit competitor, however.

Rating: 1 (out of 5)

2. Demolition defeated The Colossal Connection by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

The match itself is nothing to write home about, but the pop from the crowd when Demolition wins is priceless. Awesome moment.

Rating: .75

3. Earthquake defeated Hercules by pinfall

I don't think anyone in the building thought Herc had a chance. Next.

Rating: .5

4. Brutus Beefcake defeated Mr. Perfect by pinfall

Why? Why would Beefcake ever beat Mr. Perfect? I guess that's the benefit of being friends with Hogan.

Rating: 1.5

5. Roddy Piper and Bad News Brown wrestled to a double countout

Put this in the forgettable department.

Rating: .75

6. The Hart Foundation defeated The Bolsheviks by pinfall

This was just a squash.

Rating: .25

7. Barbarian defeated Tito Santana by pinfall

Not too bad, but there was no heat or real story being told.

Rating: .75

8. Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire defeated Randy Savage and Sherri by pinfall

These guys were capable of so much more than what we have here. This was pretty brutal.

Rating: .25

9. The Orient Express defeated The Rockers by countout

This is honestly the only match I ever remember The Orient Express winning. Of course it was against my favorite tag team.

Rating: 2

10. Jim Duggan defeated Dino Bravo by pinfall

Typical 5 minute Duggan match. Next.

Rating: .5

11. Ted Dibiase defeated Jake Roberts by pinfall

This felt like it should have been better. Things were going well and then it kind of fell apart.

Rating: 1.25

12. Big Boss Man defeated Akeem by pinfall

This was when Boss Man moved to the upper mid-card. Other than that, it was a squash.

Rating: .25

13. Rick Rude defeated Jimmy Snuka by pinfall

This match should have gotten a few more minutes. Although, with the time they were given, it still wasn't that great.

Rating: .75

14. Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan by pin to win the WWF Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This match is not great because of the action, but more so due to the fact that you really had no idea who was going to win. These two egomaniacs put on a pretty good match that will be remembered because of the hot crowd and surprise ending.

Rating: 2.75

Overall, this show is just overwhelming. However, none of the matches are long enough to be horrible, so it never really feels boring. If you were a fan of this era, you might like this show, but if not, don't bother checking out anything but the main event.

Overall Rating: 54%
