Wrestlemania VII: What Happened?

Wrestlemania VII: What Happened?

On April 1, 1990, The World Wrestling Federation held Wrestlemania VI at Skydome drawing 67,678 people. It was a historic event but among the big things to happen at the show, one big moment was the company thinking ahead and making the huge announcement that Wrestlemania VII would be held at The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with the hope being that they would get 100,000 fans to attend and break all records. At the time, it seemed huge and WWF had all the momentum in the world to make it work as they had the TV and the talent both present and future. Yet, The World Wrestling Federation would lose momentum throughout 1990 and nine months later in January 1991, The WWF came to the realization that they wouldn't come close to selling the coliseum and moved the show to The Los Angeles Sports Arena. So what happened? How did The WWF go from planning to get 100,000 people at the Coliseum to having to settle for 16,158 fans at the Sports Arena? Well, with the 25th anniversary of the event coming up this March 24th, we'll take a look at the missteps The WWF had throughout 1990 that saw them destroy their momentum as well as the bad luck and somewhat bad timing.

A Look At The New Japan Imports and Why They Might Not Succeed

It was one month ago when reports came out that WWE would sign four big names from New Japan Pro Wrestling which were AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson, and Doc Gallows. To say the least, many fans have been excited that four big names could possibly be heading to the WWE. However, when you look at everything, it's probably not the best idea to get excited cause their runs may not be successful. What do I mean about "everything", let's take a look. Keep in mind that at the time I'm writing this, only Styles has signed while the others are either taking physicals or finishing up other commitments so things can change. However, for this article, I'll write it as if they have already been signed.

Gary Moore - The Loner [HD]

Sad anniversary today as today marks the fifth anniversary of the death of one of the all-time great guitar players: Gary Moore. Moore was such an amazing guitarist and it's sad that he never caught on here in The United States especially since he achieved fame in Europe and Asia. As a result, he's sometimes not as celebrated as many of the greatest guitar players usually are and will likely never make it to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. He was probably music's best kept secret as far as America goes. I'm also disappointed that I never got to see him as I've been lucky to have seen many of the singers and bands I've always wanted to see but he was the first to pass away before I could see him. Moore was also a chameleon with the guitar as he was both great at hard rock and that 80s sound but also was great with blues rock. Hopefully, future generations will get to discover his work more in the United States than the current one. The best thing I heard about Moore regarding the United States was a KISS fansite that brought up current drummer Eric Singer having for him and then said he never made it big in the US and then wrote in parenthesis "Their Loss".

Queen - The Show Must Go On (Official Video)

On this day 25 years, Queen's Innuendo was released in the United States (It was released in the UK the previous day). It would be the final Queen album released during Freddie Mercury's lifetime as he passed away nine months later (Queen completed their last album Made In Heaven in 1995 with the last material as well as other songs Freddie did). It was a great album and worth recommending to any Queen fan.
