#4 The other titles matches are a mess
This WrestleMania had 16 matches throughout its running time. Besides the tournament, the highlights of the show should have been the Intercontinental Title Match and the Tag Title Match. This is really not the case.

The IC Title had Honky Tonk Man versus Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake. That is already a recipe for disaster as both are not very strong wrestlers. They got over for their charisma but not their strong wrestling abilities.
It had a lot of rest holds and a back-drop. That is about it. It ends with another DQ finish along with Jimmy Hart getting his haircut by Brutus but Honky Tonk Man keeping his title for another day.
The Tag Match had a different problem. Demolition were booked as the heels but were cheered by the crowd. In another unsurprising moment, Demolition used Mr Fiji’s cane to cheat and win the title. This should get them booed right? Nope, the crowd cheered for one of the first times in the match when the bad guys cheated.
That is not the response you are looking for at WrestleMania during a major title change.
