Well Wrestlemania was a success and now the WWF had become a coast-to-coast organization and for Wrestlemania 2, Vince McMahon decided to capitalize on this fact by holding Wrestlemania from three separate venues in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Unfortunately, this takes away from the show.
The New York portion of the card consisted of: - Paul Orndorff fighting to a double countout with the Magnificent Muraco. Orndorff was very popular at this point and the crowd booed the hell out of the finish. - Jake Roberts, a few months into his WWF run, beat some random jobber named George Wells with the usual move (DDT) and usual post-curricular activities (Damien). - Randy Savage defeats Geroge Steele to retain his IC title. They couldn't find a better guy for Savage to feud with. - Mr. T defeats Roddy Piper by DQ in round four in a boxing match. This was T's last appearance in the WWF and the end of Piper's monster heel run and his ascent towards one of the most loved workers of all-time.
The Chicago portion of the card consisted of: - Velvet McIntyre loses to The Fabulous Moolah in a Ladies Championship match. Next. - Corporal Kirshener (who?) defeated Volkoff in a flag match. Yeah, yeah a minute of my life I won't get back. - Andre the Giant won a Battle Royale that involved football players as well as Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, The Iron Sheik, Hillbilly Jim, The Killer Bees, John Studd, Ted Arcidi, Tonga Kid (Haku), Dan Spivey, Russ Francis, Fridge Perry, Jimbo Covert, Harvey Martin, Bill Fralic, Bruno Sammartino, Tony Atlas, Pedro Morales and somebody whose name escapes me. Anyways cool to see Bret in WM debut and he is last eliminated by the big man. - British Bulldogs (with Ozzy) beat Beefcake and The Hammer to win tag titles. Good match, um...Dynamite took a nasty bump at the end. No wonder he's in a wheel chair.
LA portion - Steamboat pins Hercules who was crazier than normal. Steamboat was talented. - Adrian Adonis beats some guy named Uncle Elmer (quoi) and well I didn't bother watching. - Terry Funk & Hoss Funk beat JYD and Chico Santana when the Funks hit JYD with the Colonel's megaphone. - Hogan beat Bundy in a steel cage mathc.
