WrestleMania 2

WrestleMania returns as Hulkamania runs wild.

What the World Has Come To!

WrestleMania 2 was a WWF PPV event that took place on April 7, 1986 from three different venues in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Likely inspired by the NWA's Starrcade ‘85, the experiment was generally regarding as a failure and detriment to the event's quality. The main event featured Hulk Hogan defending the WWF World Heavyweight Championship against King Kong Bundy in a steel cage match from the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
