I like this!

Singles Match
Tito Santana defeated The Executioner via submission

This is fine. Tito was new and hot. Executioner was a jobber

Singles Match
King Kong Bundy (with Jimmy Hart) defeated Special Delivery Jones

This too is good. King Kong bundy was being built as a beast and I'm sure they had plans for him to feud with hogan and needed to build him up.

Singles Match
Ricky Steamboat defeated Matt Borne

Steamboat should never lose

Singles Match
David Sammartino (with Bruno Sammartino) vs. Brutus Beefcake (with Johnny Valiant) ended in a double disqualification

I'm not totally sure of the angle going into this.

WWF Intercontinental Championship
Singles Match
Junkyard Dog defeated Greg Valentine (c) (with Jimmy Hart) by countout - WWE Intercontinental Championship Match

This is the only one I have an issue with. JYD was a HUGE star in another territory. He was brought to wwf and was nothing but a jobber. If Vince could have seen through his arrogance even then and used him as the star he could be and given him the title this night he could have expanded his audience greatly.

But what do I know. He still has a company after 32 wrestlemaniass

WWF Tag Team Championship
Tag Team Match
Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik (with Freddie Blassie) defeated The U.S. Express (Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham) (c) (with Lou Albano)

Why have the Americans lose their titles at wrestlemania one especially if JYD didn't win before. This seems like 2 disappointing endings in a row.

Body Slam Challenge for $15,000
Singles Match
André the Giant defeated Big John Studd (with Bobby

Andre is the best. If he got slammed here imagine how anticlimactic WM3 would have been (I know that's not the first time he got slammed. Even by hogan. But it was still historic)

WWF Women's Championship
Singles Match
Wendi Richter (with Cyndi Lauper) defeated Leilani Kai (c) (with The Fabulous Moolah)

Obviously

Tag Team Match
Hulk Hogan and Mr. T (with Jimmy Snuka) defeated Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff (with Bob Orton)

Obviously.
