Not a wrestler, but the venue for Wrestlemania VII got a big demotion going from the 100,000 seat LA memorial coliseum to the 10,000 seat LA sports arena due to bomb threats low ticket sales. Although they did get a big a pretty sizable PPV buy rate so it wasn't a total loss. I was going to nominated VII ahead of IV and IX as biggest drops. To go from a near-68,000 sellout at the SkyDome to have poor ticket sales force a change of venues to a 16,000 partially-papered LA Memorial Sports Arena is a huge drop.

I remember the ads for the Coliseum, on the WrestleMania VI tape, and when watching the VII tape I was thinking "this doesn't look like the same place. Weird." Don't think I even realized what happened until the all day WrestleMania when Slaughter mentioned the change.
