To say Wrestlemania 3 was huge at the time is an understatement. I miss when they had a main event that could draw people like this.

[@AR-rb8jr]

WrestleMania 3 is my favorite

[@Greg400]

Wrestlemania 3 was the 80s.

[@hectorlopez1069]

The greatest Wrestlemania ever. It was enjoyable to have that Wrestlemania at the Silverdome in 1987.

[@WrestlingArt3]

Wrestlemania 3 is my all time favorite piece of film

[@Eazy6874]

I was there, 7 years old

[@parakeet8157]

Thanks for the memories.So awesome! Loved the match between Savage-Steamboat. Best Wrestlemania ever. 93,000 fans!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Fans saw Ricky steamboat vs Macho man, and hulk hogan vs Andre the giant. The most important matches in the history of Wrestlemania.

[@davy1972]

Absolutely.

[@philaman1972]

My favorite WrestleMania... the night all the stars aligned to perfection!

[@dane.4289]

To the gentleman at the end, wrestling will never be forgotten. Wrestling rules!

[@AngeloR674]

When pro wrestling looked real! Pro wrestling was at it's peak at this time!!

[@michelledodson-claud6094]

GOD, I absolutely LOVED WRESTLING back then!!! I grew up mostly in DFW, Texas, and LOVED the Von Ericks, from Fritz to Kerry to barefooted Kevin, to the Yellow Rose of Texas, David VonErick, especially when they'd do their infamous CLAW!!!! I saw the VonEricks in the first IRON CAGE MATCH in the mid 1980s!!! I think it was with their nemesises, The Freebirds, which were Michael Hayes, BamBam Terry Gordy, and Buddy Roberts, I think!!! They were the villains we all loved to hate!!! There was the Iceman who fought a match where he lost and had to cut his braids off! There was Kabuki who blew a green mist up in the air against his hands! There was Kamala, the Somalian Giant! There was Brian Adias, Bugsy McGraw, Andre The Giant, Nature Boy, Rick Flair, Hulk Hogan, King Kong Bundy, the Million Dollar Man and Sunshine, Gary Hart, and so many more that I can't remember!!! WWW at the Will Roger's Colliseum was AWESOME!!! David VonErick died way too young, wrestling overseas in Japan or China one, due to a freakish illness (or at least that's what they told us), and it broke EVERYONE'S heart!!! Wow!!! That was literally 40 years ago!!!

Also in 1987 a new rap group that would shake the music world and bum rush hip-hop into a whole new level, that new rap group is none other than P.E. Public Enemy!

[@roaming.spectre.]

They say 93000 was exaggerated, more like 80000 , but that crowd looked huge

[@ultimatemagic2125]

80,000 paid, over 90,000 in the building.

[@roaming.spectre.]

@@ultimatemagic2125 also they used whole stadium instead of a stage taking up a quarter of the stadium space

[@ultimatemagic2125]

@@roaming.spectre. I was there. I travelled from England with my grandparents to watch it, I was 8 years old and I was in the 7th row opposite the isle. It was the greatest thing I've ever attended. I was just recently at AEW All In in Wembley stadium and that was the closest size crowd I've seen for a wrestling show.

[@roaming.spectre.]

@@ultimatemagic2125 summerslam 92 was pretty impressive as well

[@ultimatemagic2125]

@@roaming.spectre. I was at SummerSlam 92 as well but it was the first big WWF show without Hulk Hogan and it didnt feel as big. Plus, the old Wembley Stadium was a wreck.

[@NEOGEO1966]

WWF...Become WWE...WWE SUCKS!!!!!!

[@roaming.spectre.]

They filled dallas cowboys stadium twice in two nights, Vegas twice in two nights and about to fill Lincoln field twice in two nights, can't be that bad can they

[@NEOGEO1966]

@@roaming.spectre. WWE is crap, it was taken off the air in many nations. It does not have the same level of compelling storyline as it did in the attitude era.

[@NEOGEO1966]

@@roaming.spectre. And yet it is not as popular with all age ranges as it was during the attitude era.
