Is this a topic for the OG or UG ?
Just found my ticket from Wrestle Mania I, March 31st 1985.
It is from a PPV or "closed circuit viewing " at a state fairgrounds arena.
Wow... you should try selling it on the WFA collectors site.

The day i was born
^^^^^ well you should know, that is the day that Hulk Hogan with Mr T, did battle with Paul Orndorff, and Roddy Piper.
this thread is better suited for the best subforum on mma.tv, the PWF
It's true. It's damn true.
Guess you could say I was "into this" a bit.
I had shirts made that read " Mr Wonderful"
Another " Hot Rod "
Ain't no tough guy street fighten stories, but you definitely had to be ready to play the heal wearing those shirts to school.
Best to know how to wrestle a bit, at least prevent takedowns, have thick skin and be ready to argue. It was a lot of fun, for school.
It is interesting to think about, these days we are used to PPV, especially with restaurants and bars showing ppv.
However, for 1985 the company/promotion pushed ground a bit with asking people to pay decent money to show up to an arena and watch an even on a large screen.
Today this may seem trivial but I do think it was a bit of a ground breaking event.
I was 8 years old and loved every minute of it. Remember seeing Rocky IV the same year, you know vs. that Russian! One of the greatest years of my short life.
You must have one hella messy room. I wonder what else is in there.
This was just Wrestlemania, guess the "1" only became necessary after 2 and later.

Did you happen to get the shirt of the two gloves with flags ?
It was a Rocky IV promo from a fast food chicken joint, believe it was Popeye's Chicken.

Fucking awesome day to be born. The day I was born some asshole shot up a McDonalds.
Which forum did this end up in ?
I'm pretty sure Wrestlemania 1 was all shoot matches, so it's in the right forum.
That's actually pretty cool.
I'll allow it
Jack Skellington - That's actually pretty cool.
Thanks man.
You are making this seem not so awkward.
I went to the one in AZ a few years ago and going to Dallas this year. Not a big fan as I've think I've watched one raw in two years but WM are fun so I'll still go to them occasionally. It was a childhood dream to go and now my girlfriend wanted to go to one so I'll go to my second.
That's fuckin dope. Post a pic of it.
Badass! I never got to go to any WWF stuff, but did get to go to WCW Beach Blast in 1993. I would have been too young to go to Wrestlemania 1 and have a clue what was going on, but damn if you are going to have ever been to an event, that would have been the holy grail!
