I thought Ricky Steamboat was a better choice to win the WWF title at Wrestlemania IV. He was very popular and at the time got some of the best crowd reactions. The Junkyard Dog would have been another good choice. I remember how popular he was with kids in school.

For a heel, Ted Dibiase should have gotten a run with the belt. He was the ultimate heel in WWF for years and such a great wrestler and actor too.

Oh hell yeah Dibiase in my opinion paved the way for guys like JBL.

I'm surprised Vince didn't give Flair a WM main event.

Macho Man vs Ric Flair WrestleMania would have been classic

I am a bit confused. Macho Man and Flair did wrestle for the belt at Wrestlemania VIII

Nah. Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper was better.
Yeah, for the first time ever, I'll have to disagree with you. While Piper and Hart was good, Macho Man and Flair was classic.

He was meaning it as Macho Man vs Flair as the main event not Warrior vs Sid

Flair vs Macho Man was billed as the main event.

Disagree greatly. The match was clunky and Flair was uncomfortable throughout the entire match. Anyone who watches Flair regularly can see how he was different in the match. He admitted later that Macho Man insisted they practice the entire match over and over again and Flair hated doing that. I always felt it was one of Flair's worst matches.

Forgive me for my mistake and causing confusion


I would love to see Flair vs Steamboat in a Iron Man match at WM

Also Jimmy Snuka could have been a Good Heel opponent for Hogan or a Good Face Opponent for Flair at WrestleMania for the belt

Roberts definitely deserve to be in the main event of WrestleMania

Sue you? I simply made a correction, I didn't do it in an asshole way like this:

It was the main event, you lousy smark. Haha, you smarks think you know everything. You probably think the earth is round too... huh huh huh.
