WrestleMania VIII Feb 22, 2009
Tito Santana VS Shawn Michaels: A decent match with an ending that makes no sense.
Undertaker VS Jake Roberts: A decent match up that would be Roberts last WWF match for nearly four years.
Intercontinental Champion Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Bret Hart: It was weird to see both men interviewed side by side. Piper plays heel but fans wont buy it. A very good match even though the end few minutes didnt do it for me.
Virgil, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Big Bossman & Sgt. Slaughter vs The Nasty Boyz, Repo Man & The Mountie: Ray Combs does some dumb humour before the match. I found it annoying and the match was a basic throw away. Favorite part was whe Gorilla says thats one to many hos.
Ric Flair VS Randy Savage: Good match with way to much outside inteference. Should have been the main event but Hogan was the golden standard back then.
Tatanka VS Rick Martel: A quick match. I enjoyed Tatanka alot back in the early 90's and he was a good wrestler, despite what people say.
Money Inc VS Natural Diseasters: Skip
Skinner VS Owen Hart: Why
Hogan VS Sid: A bad main event. The ending made no sense because of what happened in Flair-Savage title match. Warrior returns as a surprise guest.

 WWF Wrestlemania 8 Jul 01, 2006
WWF WrestleMania 8
4/5/92
Hooiser Dome Indianapolis,Indiana
On Air Commentators;Gorilla Monsoon,and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Shawn Michaels defeated El Matador/Tito Santana.
The Undertaker defeated Jake "The Snake" Roberts(The Undertaker tombstones Roberts on the arena floor.Then gets him in the ring and covers him for the pin.Roberts wouldnt return to the WWF until 1996).
Intercontinental Championship Match;
Bret Hart defeated "Rowdy" Roddy Piper to win the Intercontinental Championship.(***** match,one of the best matches in Brets career).
Virgil,The Big Bosman,Jim Duggan and Sgt Slaughter defeated The Repo Man,The Mountie and The Nasty Boys.
WWF Championship Match;
"Macho Man" Randy Savage defeated Ric Flair to become the new WWF Champion after an rollup.
Tatanka defeated Rick "The Model" Martel(They would end up having another match at the 1992 Survivor Series).
WWF Tag Team Championship Match;
The Natural Disasters defeated WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc by countout however the Natural Disasters do not win the tag team titles.
"The Rocket" Owen Hart defeated Skinner
Hulk Hogan defeated Sid Justice(Sid Vicious/Sycho Sid)by disqualification after interference from Harvey Wippleman.(After the match an unknown guy Papa Shango(The Godfather) makes his way to the ring and him and Sid Justice pound on Hogan.Then the Ultimate Warrior returns last seen after SummerSlam 1991 and takes out Papa Shango,then Hogan takes out Sid Justice and then the Warrior/Hogan celebrate after the match before Wrestlemania 8 comes to an close).
Overall an good Wrestlemania.The best matches were Shawn Michaels vs Tito Santana,The Undertaker vs Jake the "Snake" Roberts,Bret Hart vs "Rowdy" Roddy Piper for the Intercontinental Title in an rare "face vs face" match,"Macho Man" Randy Savage vs Ric Flair for the WWF Championship,and Hulk Hogan vs Sid Vicious.
1992 also signified an change in the WWF.Hogan would soon leave the WWF not returning to Janury of 1993 and then leaving by June of 1993, The Ultimate Warrior would leave the WWF and week before the 1992 Survivor Series not returning until 1996 before getting yes fired again, and Ric Flair would leave the WWF in early 1993 not returning until nearly 9 years later but back to 1992,stars like Hulk Hogan,The Ultimate Warrior,and Ric Flair were aging and Vince decided that newer stars like Bret Hart,The Undertaker,and Shawn Michaels could take the WWF to superstardom.By October of 1992 Bret Hart was WWF Champion and Shawn Michaels was Intercontinental Champion and they had an match at the 1992 Survivor Series for Harts WWF belt(which Hart won)but which proved that size doesnt matter and that Bret could single handidly carry the WWF in the post Hulk A Mania Era.Nough said.

WWF WrestleMania 8 The Big Show Mar 29, 2006
4/5/92 was a good time to be a wrestling fan, but more importantly a wwf wrestling fan because it was time for WWF Wrestlemania 8 which saw a fair share of moments that include Bret Hart (pre 1997 Survivor Series) facing Rowdy Roddy Piper for the I C title as well as a couple of main events 1. Randy Savage vs. Ric Flair (WWF title) 2. Hulk "Thunder Lips" Hogan vs Sid Justice. In other action The Undertaker defeated Jake "The Snake" Roberts by pinfall, Shawn Michaels defeated Tito Santana by pinfall. (If you were more like your famous brother Carlos you would still be around Tito.) Sargent Slaughter/"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan/The Big Boss Man/Virgil defeated The Mountie/Repo Man/The Nasty Boys by pinfall. (Ray "Survey says" Combs was the ring announcer for this match) RIP. Tatanka defeated Rick "The Model" Martel by pinfall. Owen Hart (RIP) defeated Skinner by pinfall. Money inc defeated "The Natural Disasters" (EarthQuake/Typhoon) by countout. All and all this was a good wrestlemania that should be picked up from Amazon.com, or anywhere videos/dvds are sold.

WrestleMania VIII Sep 18, 2005
Hoosier Dome, Indianapolis, Indiana. All I have to say is what a WrestleMania this was. Definetely one of the better ones. Let's get started.
Shawn Michaels w/ Sensational Sherri vs. El Matador Tito Santana
Great opening matchup with back and forth action. Michaels is able to pull it off after countering a slam attempt by Santana. After the match, Bobby Heenan said "this man is the star of the 90's, Monsoon." How true those words would be, as we all know, Michaels would go on and dominate the rest of the decade.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer
Not much to say about this one. Pretty slow and boring match. Roberts nailed a couple of DDT's, but Taker gets up from them all. Taker hits the tombstone on the outside of the ring, tosses Roberts back in the ring and covers him for the 3.
Intercontinental Championship: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart
Along with the World Championship match, this was the match of the night. Classic battle for the IC title. Started off with nice techincal wrestling, and after a while we started seeing the street fighting style. Piper locks on the sleeper but Hart counters into a pin and wins the match.
8-Man Tag Team Match
The Big Bossman, Virgil, Sgt. Slaughter, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs. The Nasty Boys, The Mountie, and The Repo Man
Boring match. Very unorganized and sloppy match, skip at all costs.
World Championship: Ric Flair w/Mr. Perfect vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage
The highlight of the night as far as I'm concerned. 5 star classic. Savage used the tights and got the pin and is the new champion.
Tatanka vs. Rick "The Model" Martel
Sub-par match at best. Tatanka gets it on a cross body.
Tag Team Championship:
Money Inc. w/Jimmy Hart vs. The Natural Disasters
Definetely could have been a better match. Dibiase and I.R.S. could not match the power of the Disasters, so they walk away in the middle of the match. Disasters win by count out but do not win the titles.
"The Rocket" Owen Hart vs. Skinner
Kind of a pointless match really. Short match, Hart (RIP) rolls him up for the quick victory.
Hulk Hogan vs. Sid w/Harvey WhippleMan
This is the co-main event. In my opinion the matches should have been reversed (with the Savage-Flair match being the last match of the night) but of course, Hogan is in this match so this is the last match of the night. Not a good match, and an even suckier DQ ending. Papa Shango comes out at the end and then Warrior comes to help out Hogan.
Matches to look out for: Michaels/Santana, Hart/Piper, and Savage/Flair.
