WrestleMania V was giant money at the time and features one of the most memorable -- if not the most -- main events in the show’s history between WWF Champion Randy “Macho Man” Savage taking on former Mega Powers partner Hulk Hogan. It was a feud that had one of the best slow burns in the history of the modern era of the industry with Hogan originally helping Savage win the belt at WrestleMania IV, and finally the WWF blurred the lines between kayfabe and reality with the use of Savage's jealous-induced protection of Miss Elizabeth to start cooking up the tension.

Hogan and Savage had been teaming for the better part of 1988 and 1989 as the Mega Powers, but after mounting tension exploded between the two on the Feb. 3 episode of Main Event, the historic match was made. Elizabeth took a nasty bump and Hogan left the match to tend to her aid and rush her backstage, which sent the Macho Man into a frenzy after the match.

The tension was built for nearly a year, and the let it hit its boiling point two months out from the show. That's the best slow-build + give the fans the match at the right moment I've ever seen from the company.

This show represented the second year in a row that WrestleMania came from the Trump Plaza (by name) in Atlantic City, with Savage winning the championship tournament at WrestleMania IV the year before. While this show had a couple DQ and count-out finishes, it still truly feels likes a special event from the moment it started to the moment it went off the air, and that’s what WrestleMania is supposed to be all about, to me.

Sure, most of the stuff between the bells stunk from here to high heaven but we all knew that at the end of the night, we were going to watch the Mega Power explode and we might even explode a little in our pants when it happens.

We find ourselves at a point in the business where Hulk has been going strong here for a while and there are some new up and comers such as Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Mr. Perfect, among others, featured on the midcard.
