Wrestlemania is the greatest show in the squared circle, starting from its first main event in 1985. This event, which was headlined by a titanic battle between Hulk Hogan and Mr. T against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff, drew over 19,000 fans to Madison Square Garden. In the main event, Hogan and Mr. T defeated their two opponents, with a little help from Cowboy Bob Orton, as Muhammad Ali, Billy Martin, and Liberace watched ringside. Other fights that night included Andre the Giant against Big John Studd in a $15,000 Body Slam Challenge, and a tag team matchup between Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik against the U.S. Express. This rare poster, which features a menacing image of Hogan and Mr. T, has been signed by 35 wrestlers, including Hulk Hogan, Roddy Pipper, Bret Hart, Bruno Sammartino, Sgt. Slaughter, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Chris Jericho, Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Ted Dibiase, Terry Funk, The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, King Kong Bundy, Superstar Billy Graham, Greg Valentine, Brutus Beefcake, Tito Santana, Lex Luger, Zeus, The Honky Tonk Man, Jim “Anvil” Neidhart, Mr. Fuji, The Wild Samoans Afa and Sika, Demolition Ax and Smash, Tatanka, Brian Blai, Jumpin Jim Brunzel, Lanny Poffo, and more. The signatures have been written in silver marker. This 36 x 24 inch poster comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A09597).
