Here is the 8th of 29 Retrospective topics on previous Wrestlemania events. The purpose of these threads are to look back and observe the history behind the Wrestlemania brand before the biggest show of them all, which is approaching us more each day as we get closer to April.
In this topic we will talk about.... Wrestlemania 8!

9. Hulk Hogan defeated Sid Justice (with Harvey Wippleman) by disqualification in a singles match (12:28)
Now, here are some discussion questions concerning the event:
What was your favorite match on this show, and why did you like it the most? What about the worst match of this show, why did you like it the least?
If you could change a few things about Wrestlemania 8, what would it be and why?
You may only use wrestlers who were available at the roster at that time or make changes that could have realistically taken place in April 1992. Please keep in mind the situations going into the show such as who could actually have been pushed into a title match, or what songs existed back then if you wanted to change the show's theme music, and so forth.
You may only discuss Wrestlemania 8 in this thread. The other Wrestlemania events will be getting their own retrospective threads shortly, any posts regarding other events will be considered spam and you risk getting an infraction.
