Wrestlemania VII: What Happened?
Wrestlemania VII: What Happened?
March 7, 2016
By Ryan Porzl
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.
