The Big Four Project Chapter 5: Royal Rumble ’89 & WrestleMania V- Episode 278


Share

The Attitude Of Aggression returns for Chapter 5 of The Big Four Project, a chronological analysis, review, and discussion about WWE’s Big Four PPVs/ Premium Live Events. On this Episode, Dave is again joined by the one and only PC Tunney to discuss two more huge events in pro wrestling history, Royal Rumble ’89 and one of the biggest WrestleManias of all-time, WrestleMania V. However, the guys are also joined by the debuting Rob Bonette of The Mindless Wrestling Podcast to join in the discussion of Royal Rumble ’89. The second Royal Rumble event was the first true PPV edition of the Rumble and saw a huge moment transpire in the disintegration of the relationship of the MegaPowers. It also included a big moment to spark the rivalry between “Ravishing” Rick Rude and The Ultimate Warrior, plus it concluded with, quite possibly, the most inconsequential Royal Rumble win in history. Dave, PC, and Rob also touch on that fateful night in Milwaukee in February of 1989, when the MegaPowers officially came to an end in a back room of the Bradley Center with the Macho Man’s betrayal and assault of Hulk Hogan. From there, PC and Dave are rejoined by DJ from The Mindless Wrestling Podcast to breakdown WrestleMania V. The MegaPowers exploded at this huge event, which remains one of the most watched Manias ever. By and large, it was a bloated card with matches that were either too short or longer than they needed to be. But there were some still some excellent matches and moments to be sure, culminating with Hulk Hogan recapturing the WWE Championship from “Mach Man” Randy Savage in one of the biggest WrestleMania Main Events in history. The rise and fall of the MegaPowers reaches its conclusion here on Chapter 5 of The Big Four Project!
