1988 – WrestleMania IV took place in the Atlantic City Convention Hall, and was referred to on-air during the live broadcast as Trump Plaza, which was the neighbouring hotel and casino owned and founded by Donald Trump. The main focus of this event was a 14-man tournament to crown a new undisputed WWF World Champion. The title was vacated for the first time in its history based on the controversary and uncertainty birthed by the result of the recent Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant WWF Title match on ‘The Main Event’.
1991 – Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart made his debut as a colour commentator alongside Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan on WWF Wrestling Challenge from Reno, Nevada.
2000 – In Houston, Texas on the go-home edition of WWF Raw ahead of WrestleMania 2000, Mr McMahon & The Rock defeated Shane McMahon & The Big Show in the tag-team main event. Both Vince and Shane would be in the respective corners of The Rock and The Big Show for the fatal four-way elimination match at WrestleMania in Anaheim, California six days later.
