WM FACT
- King King Bundy defeated S.D. Jones in just nine seconds at WrestleMania. That record would stand for almost 10 years, until Diesel defeated Bob Backlund to win the World Wrestling Federation Championship in just six seconds. Coincidentally, both of those matches took place at Madison Square Garden.
- Ring announcer Howard Finkel began his WrestleMania iron-man streak at the first WrestleMania. Finkel is the only performer to appear at all 18 WrestleMania events!
- WrestleMania I was the first of three WrestleManias in New York. The following year, WrestleMania II was held at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, and in 1994, WrestleMania X again emanated from Madison Square Garden.
