also, Hogan no-selling Warrior's victory and getting up immediatly after the 3 count like he shouldnt have lost. The WWF wanted to paint these two as equals. Having Hogan kick out immediately after 3 gave the illusion that Warrior just got Hogan when he was vunerable. I don't think it would have had the same effect had Hogan lay there motionless after a splash. |

Looking back the only thing I would have done different would be to switch the Martel/Koko and Tito/Barbarian matches. I would of put Koko and the Barbarian in the opening match and have Martel/Tito finish their feud. Tito and Martel had one of the best, if not the best tag team partner feuds of all time, back then it was a shocker when they broke up at Mania 5, now it happens all the time. I think they really missed the boat with not having these two wrestle eachother at Mania 6. Then I would just have Koko job to the new singles wrestler the Barbarian.

Like the other guy said, this was a fairly crappy Wrestlemania. Only Hogan/Warrior is memorable from this show. The rest as forgettable garbage. Rockers/Orient Express is a WWF Superstars quality match, not Wrestlemania.

I agree about Santana/Martel. That feud should have been given a proper send off at WM VI. It was a very hot feud in 1989.
The WWF knew they had their money with the main event, and probably didn't care too much for the undercard. The IC title usually represented the mid-card main event, but since that was part of the real main event, the mid-card matches really had no meaning other than Jake/Dibiase and the tag title match.

That was one of my favorite feuds of all time. very underrated!!!! Did it EVER get closure??? If so, I don't recall... All I can think of is Summerslam '89, where Tito gets pinned by Martel... |

Janetty got pinned by Martel. And Martel beat Santana with the Boston Crab on an edition of Saturday Night's Main Event or The Main Event sometime around November 1990. I have the show on tape somewhere. |

Martel and the Rougeus beat Tito and the Rockers at Summerslam 89. Martel pinned Santana at the 1989 Suvrivor Series, with a handful of tights I think. I remember someone mentioning Martel beat Santana a couple of times with that move. They both went at it in the 1990 Royal Rumble with Martel eliminating Santana. There was a match between these two in late 1990 that ended in a no contest I think, when Jake Roberts came down to ringside to attack Martel but grabbed Tito by mistake because he was partially blind. I think they had a scuffle in the 1991 Royal Rumble, but Martel outlasted Santana. These two were still at odds in the 1993 Royal Rumble and Martel outlasted Santana in this one too. I don't think there ever was closure, and I can't remember Santana ever beating Martel.

I think that there was a larger push in line for Martel, but then he ended up in the lower midcard somehow

I agree Piper and Bad News Brown could have been somuch more. And the Ultimate Challenge was just amazing, I remember being a kid when this match went on and just being so torn between the two, though at the time I was more pro Hogan I remember rigging my parents VCR to pick up the audio from Viewer's Choice so I could listen in on Wrestlemania VI. I was happy when Ultimate Warrior "defeated" Hulk Hogan. All I remember from them is when Gordon Solie reported on NWA/WCW Sunday Night that (quoting Gordon Solie himself) "in another federation, the Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan for that federation's title." Ahh, the days of innocence... *tears* |

I loved WrestleMania VI.
It was the first wrestling PPV I ever saw, and it's still my all-time favourite.
DiBiase's sneak attack on Bossman was awesome. ;D

The first thing I noticed was that the quality of the matches and the card ingeneral increased greatly with the DVD copy over the old Colesium video.
Now coirrect me if I'm wrong but it seemed like the Brown/Piper feud was supossed to go on, but when Jess left during the early summer, Piper replaced him and they shoehorned Jake roberts into a feud with Bad news as a replacement, only for that feud to flop.

The Snake/Brown feud started almost immediatley after Wrestlemania 6, Jake started the feud by having Okerlund give Bad News a birthday present that had a rubber snake inside, Bad News freaked and took it out on Okerlund, it was pretty stupid because neither had any reason to fight eachother, Jake just decided out of nowhere to do a face version of the same thing he would do to Macho and Elizabeth a year later. It was late April or early May I believe. I don't think it ever had a clear finish because Bad News left after Summerslam 90.

Looking back on it there were better Wrestlemanias, but it was the first one I saw and I got a copy recorded off of satelite or ppv from my moms boyfriends son and at the time I thought every match was amazing. I have been a huge fan ever since.

Nobody else has love for Perfect/Beefcake? Confession time: I was a HUGE Beefcake fan when I was a kid and I marked out like motherf***er when he won that match. Back then, NOBODY beat Perfect. |

I loved WM 6. I loved seeing Demolition, the GREATEST tag team of all time, win the Tag Titles. Hogan jobbing to Warrior still upsets me to this day. Yes, the carts were cool, too.
