Would it work? Vince McMahon took a gamble on March 31st, 1985, by throwing the biggest wrestling show the world had ever seen up until that point. Not only was he putting on a huge spectacular event, but he was also doing it with celebrities, national exposure on closed-circuit viewing and was using MTV to hype the run up to the show. If it didn't work? We would not have the WrestleMania we have today.

Tom Billington's rise to stardom began with grueling training under the legendary "Dr. Death" Ted Betley. By 1975, Dynamite Kid was ready to make his professional wrestling debut working for British wrestling icon Max Crabtree. But it wasn't until the following year that he'd finally appear on television screens in Lincoln, England.

After seven years, eight months, and one day... On January 18, 1971, the wrestling world was stunned when Ivan Koloff defeated the seemingly unbeatable Bruno Sammartino to win the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship. The victory marked the end of Sammartino's historic reign and solidified Koloff's reputation as one of the top villains in the business.
