WrestleMania V WrestleMania VI WrestleMania VII

WrestleMania VI was the World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) sixth WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view event and the first to be held outside of the U.S. It took place on April 1, 1990 at the SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario with an announced attendance of 67,678.

WrestleMania VI was subtitled The Ultimate Challenge, which was also the name given to the main event between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, who were the two most popular wrestlers in the WWF at the time. The match billed as "Champion vs. Champion, Title for Title" was for both the WWF Championship (which was held by Hogan), and the Intercontinental Championship (which was held by Warrior).
