Wrestlemania.
For wrestling fans, it's as important as Christmas Day. It's the biggest event of the year and a guarantee that fans will see storylines climax, stars made, and a new year begin for the world of sports-entertainment. It's what all of us have been waiting for over the past year.
Welcome to Wrestlemania Retro, a special feature looks back on each and every Wrestlemania presentation.
On April 3, 2005 WWE presents the twenty-first edition of its flagship PPV event. The event has outlasted Starrcade as the "Granddaddy of them all." It has become the symbol of excellence in the industry. Much like a rock star getting to headline at Madison Square Garden, if you get to work Wrestlemania, you are going to be remembered in the annals.
As WWE and its stars prepare for Wrestlemania 21, PWInsider.com takes you on a journey back to Wrestlemanias of the past, with comments from the PWInsider.com staff and former Wrestlemania performers, interesting historical notes, results and more.
As we travel the "Road to Wrestlemania", enjoy this special PWInsider.com feature!
