What a difference 8 months makes. What was a mostly boring Wrestlemania 1 turns into a fun little tournament with some of the best wrestlers of the time + a Piper vs. Hogan championship match. Damn near every match end in gimmicky ways but that was the style of the time. Heels rarely won clean and they were still trying to make it come off as a real sport so they were more stringent about the rules. Dynamite Kid was a highlight and the commentary from Ventura and Monsoon were on point.

WWF's second ever PPV is a little-seen gem, featuring two key selling points - a 16 man tournament featuring the company's most well-known faces and a WWF Chmapionship bout. The tournament suffers a bit because of the amount of participants, most matches last only only 3-4 minutes due to obvious time constraints. However, there are a few highlights - a Savage/Steamboat match some 18 months before their WM3 classic and a great run from Dynamite Kid, who I wish amounted to more in his WWF run.
