WrestleMania in the LA Sports Arena = THE TERRORISTS WON.

We didn't get the 100,000 number thrown out in this clip but it is pretty crazy that Vince thought this was feasible and how badly reduced it ended up being.

Next WrestleMania at Los Angeles Collesium. Damn terrorists for making them switch venues. Be interesting if they take a run at the 100K mark in new Cowboys stadium some day.

I remember seeing the commercial for Wrestlemania VII at the LA Memorial Coliseum for months and months, which I guess should a pretty big hint that ticket sales were slow. For some reason, I didn't even notice on show day that the event was taking place inside of an arena and not inside a cavernous football stadium, but I guess Young 11 Year Old Cox cared more about Hogan vs Slaughter and Savage vs Warrior than he did about what venue the show was taking place in.

At the time, I thought it was weird that they were hyping Mania VII a year in advance. Maybe Vince knew ahead of time what an uphill climb selling out the Coliseum would be. If that was true, he was more right than he ever dreamed possible.

If only they knew…
