Thank you for so much focus on Wrestlemania IV. I'm one of the VERY FEW people that LOVE that Wrestlemania. It's the first time I ever saw wrestling. I was 4 years old and I've been hooked ever since. Bc of the tournament style of that Mania, when I played with my action figures, I'd always have a "tournament" with brackets and all. Wasn't just my wrestler toys either. It was them, my ninja turtles, my xmen, whatever I had. But yeah thank you again for the videos. Cultaholic is the best.

I love the work Cultaholic does, but this is by far the BEST content this channel creates. These long form documentaries are always edited and narrated on a level that could air on television without question. I've enjoyed every minute of the Golden Age and hope you also work on the New Generation, WCW's Early years and other poignant eras of other great promotions. Thanks to everyone at Cultaholic, and have a great holiday season!

I agree. It seemed like from the events leading up to Hogan vs Andre in WM III until the Warrior won the title from Hogan in WM VI, the WWF was at its all-time peak when it came to the cast of characters, storyline, and the "believability" (if you want to call it that) of the matches themselves. It just ... I don't know, it FELT so compelling. This was during my tenure in high school (born in 1971, graduated in 1990). And my friends and I were talking about this like some would talk about the popular soap operas of the day. I guess it WAS our soap opera. So much fun.

Incredibly well-researched. I was shocked that there was even a reference to the local Philadelphia cable channel, PRISM, which is where I would watch the WWF Philadelphia Spectrum cards as a kid. The channel only had penetration in the Philadelphia / Southern New Jersey metro area but the research team for this video clearly dug deep to pull that factoid. The Spectrum cards used to be broadcast live on PRISM, but the WWF later changed the airing to the following day (usually Sunday afternoon) to show the matches in an effort to boost live attendance before removing the shows completely from the network.

This series was great. I remember watching this as a kid. It was the true golden era. Say what you want, but Hogan was awesome. He was big and larger than life. Him slamming Andre is still such an iconic image. When Hogan lost to Andre I cried. Also, I'll never forget the amazing scene of Savage holding Elizabeth on his soldier celebrating his world title win. This time will never be replicated.

Demolition WAS the brutal tag-team. Savage WAS the maniac who trusted no one. Elizabeth WAS the stunning beauty that everyone wanted. Heenan WAS the conniving, selfish backstabber. Slick WAS the pimp. I've gone long enough, you get my point. They were talented actors who really made it feel like they hated each other. Such a fun, fun time.

This was the true Golden Age of wrestling IMO especially after the success of Wrestlemania 3. I was a kid and wrestling was my life back then and I religiously watched both NWA/WCW on TBS and WWF. The 80's was just a great time in general and I feel like the promos and heat back then was the best it ever was with the best characters with charisma. And the matches were slower than today but they sold it much better back then that they were truly wrestling and grappling with each other. Unlike wrestling today where it seems more like an acrobat or gymnastic show. Thanks for making these vids I have really enjoyed them and happy to stumble upon this on a Sunday night to relive my childhood.

This series is so incredibly well done. Bravo to all who put in the work and effort to make this! And yet, at about the 40:08 mark and for about two minutes, i can't help but feel a twinge of sadness. There is something about the old guard that started the whole thing in the early 1980s being moved out that... well, makes me sad. I know that times change, people het older, and folks move on. But to think that in just a little over 3 years, only 6 of the 24 participants in Wrestlemania I (give or take) would still be around? It honestly makes me nostalgic right now, wishing for the days when the US Express went against the villainous Volkoff and Shiek, and Bundy and Studd were the team who couldn't be slammed, and the antics of Rowdy Roddy Piper. Gone, but not forgotten. Thank you, gentlemen, for the memories. You made being a fan SO much fun.

Secondly, Hogan was 100% the heel in the Mega Powers exploding angle.....I'd have canned Hogan with the belt if he kept gettin all up in my woman's face. Savage should have gone over Hogan at Mania.....or at least have ended better than typical Hogan takes a finisher, no sells it, Hulks up and wins.....they should have done something different making the end questionable or at least not as complete a burial.

There was lust in Hulks eyes! Never understood how Randy was looked at as the bad guy while hulk always acted like a selfish person. Calling himself the real Champ before the Royal Rumble, real good best friend & then he eliminated him. He didn’t wear “MegaPower” trunks at the survivor series while Macho did & Hulk also needed a separate entrance from the rest of the team. The world Champ came out with his team but not Hulk. In their final tag team match same thing Macho wore MegaPower trunks while Hulk didn’t. Always making a point to say shit to & about Liz that was so awkward. Randy shoulda pinned Hulk for the 1st time & LOVE that warrior got to but Macho shoulda got that. Instead he jobbed every time ugh lol! RIP Macho Lanny Warrior & Liz Side note: WWF in 1988 was crazy popular. When you can go watch the “The Main Event” Hulk vs André match. The crowd goes absolutely insane when Andre is getting up to sneak up on Hulk!!! It’s like a Horror movie reaction. The crowd screams were unreal. The other reaction was when Honky hit Macho with the guitar. The crowd was in an uproar after he threw Liz to the ground but when he smashed the guitar over Randy’s head the place went silent man lol it was crazy. You also had all 4 champs in the ring at the same time. Such a great time in life….

12:00 Many who grew up during the Attitude Era assume that it was when pro-wrestling peaked in popularity. But the highest Nielsen rating that the Monday Night Wars achieved for a single show was 8.1 when Raw went unopposed, while the highest for Nitro was 6.0, also unopposed. Raw's most-watched segment on TV was Austin vs Taker on 06/28/99, which achieved a 9.5 rating [10.72 million viewers] after Nitro went off the air eight minutes early. Smackdown maxed out at 5.8.

There were far more channels to view in the late 90s than there were in the 80s. Those Raw and Nitro ratings were impressive.

@@derekwhite7972 The keyword is "peak". You basically explained that more people watched other shows instead of pro-wrestling in the late 90s.

It's funny that you mention the new title belt on The Main Event. If you watch Hogan's promo, airing immediately before the match, you can see he is wearing the prior design around his waist indicating that these two moments were not shot on the same day. 😆 Perhaps when the interview was taped at Titan Tower the belt hadn't been delivered yet. In my opinion the new design should have been rolled at WrestleMania.

Incredible series. one of, if not the best Golden age docs I’ve seen, the only way it could of been better is if it had more footage, but that would have had to have had co-operation from the WWE and probably would’ve compromised the warts-and-all approach. Fantastic stuff 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I've never been a Cultaholic fan, but, jeezus, are they killing it with this! I first became a fan as a young kid during the time covered in the previous part (early 1985), so the storyline recaps are great nostalgia, while some backstage goings on were news to me. Keep this up, guys! Well done!!

A great video. I watched it in its entirety. What happens behind the scenes in professional wrestling is fascinating. The different eras of the WWF evolved so quickly through the years. Only a select few were on top for significant time. Looking forward to the next video in the series.

This has been an excellent series of documentaries. Very in-depth research, organized thoughtful writing, and more than competent narration. (bad narration ruins so many perfectly good videos). Combine all that with great photos, graphics and quality sound. On a side note.. I miss the old belts. These newer belts with the giant WW logo are hideous.

This series has been one of the best ever made, and one of the very few I've watched in its entirety. If there was any criticism, some of the comments and snide remarks could have been omitted. But apart from that, an award winning series. This series also shows how important to the business Hulk Hogan was.
