Previous April episodes have been: WWF Backlash 2000, WWE WrestleMania 21, WWE WrestleMania XXX & WWF WrestleMania X-Seven!
WWF WrestleMania V [1989] (suggested by Chuck Turner) The Mega Powers Explode. Words that are etched into wrestling history. While WrestleMania 38 had 14 matches across two nights, WrestleMania 5 had 14 matches in one night! Culminating with the huge main event of Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage. Also on the card was Rick Rude vs Ultimate Warrior for the Intercontinental Title, Jake Roberts vs Andre The Giant, Mr. Perfect vs The Blue Blazer and more.
WWF WrestleMania IX [1993] (suggested by Marcus Campbell) A few years later, and WWF put on one of the least liked WrestleManias of all time, mainly due to the main event match of Bret Hart vs Yokozuna being won by Yoko, who then immediately lost the belt to a returning Hulk Hogan in 20 seconds. What a show. Also JR in a toga. Also on the show was Razor Ramon vs Bob Backlund, Money Inc vs The Mega-Maniacs, The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez where The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak continued via DQ, and more.
ECW Barely Legal 1997 (suggested by Chris Petrou) The main event of this show saw Terry Funk face Raven for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship immediately after winning a number one contendership match against The Sandman and Stevie Richards in a Three-Way Dance. Also on the card, RVD vs Lance Storm, Shane Douglas vs Pitbull #2 for the TV title, Taz vs Sabu and more.
WWF In Your House 14: Revenge of the Taker 1997 (suggested by OhhhKingSlayer) The namesake of this show defended his WWF Championship against Mankind in the semi-main event, while The Deadman's new number one contender was crowned in the main event as Stone Cold Steve Austin took on Bret Hart. Also on the show was Legion of Doom vs Owen Hart & British Bulldog, Savio Vega vs Rocky Maivia, and Jesse James vs Rockabilly.
WCW Spring Stampede 1999 (suggested by Rob James) In the main event of this show, Ric Flair defended his WCW World Heavyweight Title against DDP, Hollywood Hogan and Sting with Randy Savage as special guest referee. Elsewhere on the card, Goldberg faced Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner faced Booker T for the vacant United States title, Rey Misterio Jr. faced Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight Title, and more.
WCW Spring Stampede 2000 (suggested by Austin Shrock) You like tournaments? This card is full of it - with United States quarterfinals, semifinals and finals all on this show, as well as Tag Title semifinals and final matches, and the main event of Jeff Jarrett vs DDP for the World Heavyweight Title. The final of the United States title tournament was Scott Steiner vs Sting, and the tag belts were up for grabs in the final match between Shane Douglas & Buff Bagwell vs Ric Flair & The Total Package.
ROH Supercard of Honor X [2016] (suggested by Lottie McCullough) You thought WrestleMania 38 was long? Across two nights, Supercard of Honor X has 18 matches. Night 1 was main evented by Young Bucks vs Motor City Machine Guns, as well as Jay Lethal vs Lio Rush for the World Title in the semi-main, and on Night 2, the main event was Kyle O'Reilly vs Adam Cole, with The Briscoes vs The Addiction vs Motor City Machine Guns vs Young Bucks in the semi main for the number one contendership for the tag belts. There's of course a bunch more matches that took place, but I don't have time to list them all. Dalton Castle, War Machine, Colt Cabana, Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong, Donovan Dijak, and more.
NXT TakeOver: Dallas [2016] (suggested by Garrett Albright) One of my personal favourite shows of all time, this show saw the debut of Shinsuke Nakamura in WWE against Sami Zayn. Also on the show was the opener of American Alpha vs The Revival for the Tag Belts, the main event was Finn Balor vs Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship, and Bayley defended her Women's Championship against the undefeated Asuka. Also there was Baron Corbin vs Austin Aries.
WPW Presents Road To Uranus [2022] (suggested by Joshua Weaver) This is a show on YouTube from a local indie promotion. Good luck getting this voted for Joshua. I can't tell you what's on this show, because I don't know, but scrubbing through the YouTube video it looks like mostly comedy silliness in space. WPW stands for Wrestling Pro Wrestling, if that gives you any indication. Sure.
