THE MEGA POWERS DID INDEED EXPLODE!

Big Movie Fan

This was an entertaining WrestleMania. Not in the same league as earlier events but entertaining all the same.

For starters, Roddy Piper returned to the WWF in 1989 at this event and he was as charismatic as ever. He was the best speaker in the WWF ever and was rivaled only by Hulk Hogan in my opinion.

The matches were good too. The Ultimate Warrior and the late Rick Rude put on an entertaining match for the Intercontinental Title. The late Blue Blazer faced Mr. Perfect in a gem of a match. Demolition battled The Powers of Pain in a brutal match. There were many great matches here especially Hulk Hogan VS Macho Man Randy Savage. Hogan and Savage had chemistry together. They first fought around 1986 and their last major feud took place in WCW in the late 90's. These guys could always put on a good match wherever and whenever they wrestled. And they did that at WrestleMania V.
