We go from one Superbowl to the next as WrestleMania VII ushers in a newwwww era in the company's history. The U.S. was still fresh into the war in Iraq, and to capitalize on the current climate, Vince McMahon cooked up a main event like no other: "Super-Stars and Stripes Forever" brother! Sgt. Slaughter, an Iraqi  sympathizer and WWF Champion vs. Hulk Hogan, The All-American hero and face of the company. In a match that symbolized the real world state of affairs, tensions were pabable throughout Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena among the 16,000+ in attendance. 

The event also featured some memorable firsts, including the start of The Undertaker's remarkable streak, the first ever "blindfold match," and the first-ever "retirement match" between Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior. This night also marked the last televised match of the original Hart Foundation and a plethora of tag-team matches from some of the greatest duos to ever step inside the "squared circle." What a ruuuussshhh!

With legendary commentary led by Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan, and "Mean Gene" Okerland, the pay-per-view broadcast saw some notable celebrities in attendance, which we detail in depth as well.

And since this is the last episode before the holiday break, we compare and contrast our favorite Christmas movies in our new segment, "The Top 5."

Grab your favorite wrestling buddy (remember those?) and relive this legendary event with us!
