Bigger, Better, Badder - The Make or Break Story of Wrestlemania 3
Author and wrestling historian Keith Greenberg breaks down the epic spectacle that was WrestleMania III - the moment pro wrestling went from regional curiosity to global phenomenon. From Aretha Franklin’s traffic jam to Andre the Giant’s legendary heel turn, Keith shares wild behind-the-scenes stories from his new book Bigger! Better! Badder!: WrestleMania III and The Year It All Changed. He has tales from the matches including Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant, Ricky Steamboat vs. Macho Man Randy Savage (and the detailed prep that Randy put into the match), the mixed tag match with King Kong Bundy, Hillbilly Jim, and the little people wrestlers, Lord Littlebrook, Little Tokyo, Haiti Kid & Little Beaver, and Rowdy Roddy Piper and Adrian Adonis which ended with Adonis having his head shaved by Brutus Beefcake! Keith discusses the record-breaking attendance at the Pontiac Silverdome, how they managed to fill all the seats on the day of the event, and why that was so important to Vince McMahon.
