WWE Chairman Vince McMahon recently appeared as special guest on The Pat McAfee Show and discussed about several topics. While speaking, Mr. McMahon revealed that WrestleMania 1 is one of his WWE all-time favorite moments as it was an important event for him and the company.
WrestleMania I took place at Madison Square Garden in 1985, which was headlined by a tag team match featuring Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Paul Orndorff, and Roddy Piper. During the show, Vince McMahon said that he used all of his money to put on the show, which turned out to be a huge success for the promotion.
“I always like to say, like many other people do, it’s going to be the next big moment, (that) will be my favorite, you know. But I think WrestleMania 1 was important to me because it was like (laughs) I had hawked everything I had… I didn’t have any money. Even when I was competing with these other guys, I had a really, really strong work ethic, and with the work ethic I had some degree of creativity, and ba*ls by the ton and you just go do it.” (From 21:43 to 22:14) (H/T: Sportskeeda)
