Wrestlemania #3: Best Opening Match In Wrestlemania History?
Can-Am Connection vs. Orton/Muraco. This is going to sound strange but I think it might have been.Now before everyone pelts me with bottles and rotten vegetables, think about this for a minute. The point of an opening match is to get the crowd fired up but not to be too flashy. This is something that WWE has changed in modern Wrestlemanias: the show’s opener is usually a big match, last year even being for the world title. With this one though, you get a quick match that has nothing significant to it, but it’s well put together with power vs. speed and good vs. bad. It’s a fine example of how to open a show and the crowd is warmed up for the main courses now. I’ll likely get ripped apart for this, but I think it might be the best opening match ever at this PPV. Note that I said best opening match, not best match that opened the show. Two different things.
Thoughts?
