 WrestleMania (1985) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WrestleMania (chronologically known as WrestleMania I) was the first WrestleMania professional wrestling event from the World Wrestling Federation, which took place on March 31, 1985 in New York, New York at the world-famous Madison Square Garden.
For the first WrestleMania, Vince McMahon began cross promotions with MTV and several celebrities like Muhammad Ali, Liberace and Cyndi Lauper appeared during the build up to and at the event.
This WrestleMania is the only WrestleMania not to feature a match with the WWF Championship on the line.

 Of Mats and Men - Chapter 2
The first "Wrestlemania" was a comparatively modest undertaking compared to future extravaganzas, taking place in New York City in front of over 25,000 spectators, according to announcers.
Perennial "Wrestlemania" announcer Jessie "the Body" Ventura, in a theme to be repeated in future "Wrestlemania's," placed the WWF in a higher tier than "legitimate" sports, exclaiming, "You see dead Superbowls, you see dead World Series', but you're definitely not seeing a dead 'Wrestlemania.'" A sense of history and excitement was also emphasized.
The presentation of the main event is not as formulaic as in future "Wrestlemania's." For instance, Hulk Hogan's traditional post-match muscle flexing and posing, which soon becomes a ritual, is only shown briefly on the videotape.

The first five WrestleMania's for me were the 5 best WrestleMania's as far as in-ring wrestling since that was more of a focus in the early years than storylines & entertainment that it would be in it's later years.
WrestleMania 4 - This was the first ever WWF Title tournament and was about to usher in a new era of WWF since for the first time since WM, Hogan wasn't the champion or even in the main event (at least not wrestling).
WrestleMania 5 - The Mega Power's Explode was the PPV where you really start to see the "sports entertainment" take effect here compared to the previous four WM's.

In 1985, Vince McMahon's vision of a sports-entertainment event of the century, which would revolutionize wrestling, became reality at the first WrestleMania® in New York City's Madison Square Garden.
I remember the huge build-up that Wrestlemania got back in '85, and it's clear that in its infancy, Vince McMahon and the WWF weren't really sure what they were going to get.
Wrestlemania did get better, and McMahon should be applauded for trying different things to make wrestling have the mass appeal it does today.

 WWE - The History of WrestleMania I-IX, 1985-1993 DVD Review
Some matches I think should be shown in there full, but over all the DVD is OK. But what sh**s me about it is that it was filmed in 1994, and it has now been released in 2004...
so with ten years inbetween, there would be plenty of room to continue on with all the wrestlemanias from 1994 to 2004.
Ok, I know there have beern several DVDs that have been entitled "Best of Wrestlemania" over the years, but all of them were just little one hour pieces of crap with no full matches.
