WrestleMania 2

WrestleMania 2 was a 1986 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the second annual WrestleMania and took place on Monday, April 7, 1986, making it the only WrestleMania that was not held on a traditional Sunday until the two-night WrestleMania 36 in April 2020. The event took place at three venues on the same day: first at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, then at the Rosemont Horizon in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois, and finally at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California.

Each venue had its own card of four matches each, totaling 12 matches for the PPV broadcast that were shown back-to-back-to-back. The main event of WrestleMania 2, which was in Los Angeles, featured WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan defending the title against King Kong Bundy in a Steel Cage match. In the last match in Chicago, The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid) faced The Dream Team (Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake) for the WWF Tag Team Championship, while the final match in Uniondale was a boxing match pitting Mr. T against Roddy Piper. The undercard in Uniondale also saw WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion Randy Savage defend his title against George Steele, while the card in Chicago featured a 20-man battle royal involving WWF wrestlers and National Football League players.

WrestleMania 2 received generally poor reviews, with much of the criticism being centred around the decision to hold it as three separate events across the country. Many publications rank is as amongst the worst WrestleMania events of all time.
