To kick the show off this week, current and past WWE staff members comment on the WrestleMania.
Gerald Brisco: The concept was first thought of in a meeting at Titan Towers. He mentions that one year earlier another promotion tried to do a similar show and failed. He is either alluding to the NWA's Starrcade or one of those joint-promotion shows under the AWA banner. I'm not really sure. Brisco knew that if anyone could pull off a show like this it would be Vince McMahon.
Bruce Prichard: Originally thought it was the craziest idea he ever heard. He thought it was horrible for the business if wrestlers mingled with actors.
Gerald Brisco: There were doubts going into the show concerning production, the live aspect, and the Closed Circuit TV theaters.
Bruce Prichard: Although he was against the show, he still laid down the money to see it.
Gerald Brisco: He was at a Closed Circuit venue in Florida and was shocked to see thousands of people show up. It all snowballed from there.
