10 memorable moments from WrestleMania 2

#2 The WWF meets the NFL

It's safe to say that Vince McMahon has had a complicated relationship with American Pro Football over the years. Given the recent announcement that the wrestling tycoon will be embarking on his second venture into the sport come 2020, this relationship is about to transcend to an entirely different level going forward.

Whatever Vince's motivations for trying to rival a giant the size of the NFL, the man has not been afraid to utilise the company for the benefit of his wrestling product. He has even devoted WrestleMania main events to footballers, with Lawerence Taylor coming face to face with Bam Bam Bigelow at Mania 11.

WrestleMania 2 also belongs very much in this category, with the Chicago section of the show hosting a 20 man Battle Royal pitting WWF Superstars against athletes from the NFL. The apex of the interaction was a face-off between William 'Refridgerator' Perry and Big John Studd.

While the moment might not carry the same level of importance in 2018, back in 1986 fans of both sports were on the edge of their seats with excitement and anticipation.

The conclusion of the match ultimately went the right way with three WWF Superstars closing out the match. However, given Vince's ambition to transcend Pro Wrestling and conquer the world of entertainment in general, this match was just what the card needed.
