[1993-03-27-WWF-Superstars] Music Video: Wrestlemania

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

"Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, Wrestlemania, fighting to survive!"

 

Awesome time capsule.

[Phil Austin]

"We're going to put nasty stuff right down your throat"

"The Hitman is on top and you're going down"

"See these handcuffs right here?"

 

That whole verse was one long innuendo!

[shoe]

When wrestling was still fun.

[BackToBionic]

I was hoping for like ONE quick flash of Linda McMahon.

Seeing Damien Demento in the video was funny. They should do a remake of this, but with the current WWE Superstars like Sheamus, John Cena, etc, and keep the same theme.

[Kevin Ridge]

The video heavily featured guys like Bossman, Duggan and Nasty Boys who didn’t even appear on WrestleMania show. Guys like Demento and Skinner were also in video.

"ARE YOU READY...FOR THE SURVIVOR SERIES!" Wait, what??

 

Loved Papa Shango getting a featured spot in the opening portion, because sparkles or something. There are odd choices throughout as to which wrestlers to feature. I guess they figured Boss Man would be back.

Cool video,then cuts to Hacksaw, Tatanka, Bossman. Almost sounds like a Survivor Series promo though. Fun enough, but doesn't feel too unique.

I will admit that I am nostalgic for the music. In addition, I also noticed the amount of talent that was going on and on about Mania and didn't even appear on the show. Fun stuff.

[garretta]

I don't think that the song and the video had anything to do with WrestleMania specifically; I think it was just a general song about wrestling that happened to be titled "WrestleMania", although I seem to remember the WWF using this as their Mania theme for quite a few years after this.

 

I'm guessing this this was taped sometime around Survivor Series '92, given the constant references to that card. I think that would also explain the presence of guys like Duggan and Bossman, who was still around at that time (He beat Nailz in a nightstick on a pole match at Survivor Series).

 

We didn't need the rest of the lyrics; as Loss said above, the chorus and the music were enough to make this memorable.

 

The video featured clips of at least one interesting match: Taker against Bam Bam Bigelow. It's a shame that they weren't programmed together; Bammer would have made a much more interesting feud partner for Taker than Gigante did, that's for sure.
