On April 4, 1993, the WWF held their ninth Wrestlemania called "Wrestlemania IX" at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event would be one of the most polarizing events in wrestling history and an event often considered one of the worst Wrestlemanias of all time. However, I'm one of those who enjoy the event and think it's underrated. While it'll never be considered the best, I do think Wrestlemania IX gets a bad rep and is an underrated event. In this article, I'll look at the history making moments and other positives that Wrestlemania IX has.

Curt Hennig was one of wrestling's greatest names. He was a great athlete, he was a great wrestler, he had a lot of charisma, he had swagger, and he could cut a great promo. The man who became most known as "Mr. Perfect" lived up to the name as far as wrestling went. Hennig also was more than just a great wrestler as he also showed he was good as a manager for talent and a good color commentator. He seemed to fit in any role. Sadly, it's been twenty years since we lost him as, like so many of his generation, his life ended too soon. This past March 28th would've been Hennig's 65th birthday so we will look at some interesting facts you might have known or perhaps not have known about the man who was what he said he was which was absolutely perfect.

Professional wrestling has had it's share of all time greats and one of those all-time greats, especially when it comes to in-ring skills, is Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat. From the 1970s to the 1990s, few were Steamboat's equal as he was the perfect babyface who you could never hate and was part of some of the greatest matches of all time. You have a hard time picking a classic match from that era that did not involve Ricky Steamboat. This past February, Steamboat celebrated a big birthday as the Dragon turned 70. To honor him, I decided to do another interesting fact article, this time, on him. Some stuff you may know while others you may not.
