From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WrestleMania VIII was the eighth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It took place on April 5, 1992 at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. This was the last WrestleMania to be held in a stadium until WrestleMania X-Seven. Reba McEntire sang a rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the show.
There were two main events. In the first, Randy Savage won the WWF Title from Ric Flair. This stemmed from the kayfabe reason that Flair was suggesting that Flair had a past with Savage's wife, Miss Elizabeth. In the second main event, Hulk Hogan defeated Sid Justice by disqualification.
This was the only WrestleMania to feature Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan as commentators for every match. It would also be the final WrestleMania to feature Gorilla Monsoon as a commentator. Starting with Wrestlemania IX, Jim Ross would be the featured play-by-play man for most subsequent Wrestlemanias.
