Twenty-two years of WrestleMania?
Really? Are you kidding me? Yeah, I’m feeling really old now. I remember the beginning of WrestleMania, when it was still a production with WWF members, not the WWE.
Why did I even know about it? My brother made me watch it. It’s the only reason I was so familiar with Hulk Hogan, The Iron Sheik, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Koko B. Ware, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and all the others. I even saw a few of them in person. How many of us can say we saw Bobby Heenan wrestle? Or Miss Elizabeth driving up in a car with “Macho Man” Randy Savage? Well, my friend Jackie, her brother, and me.
Anyway, this was all brought to my attention because of the recent death of 80’s wrestler Corporal Kirchner (Thomas Spear). I can’t say that I remember him specifically, but reading about him has brought back a ton of memories. My condolences to his family.
