[6.0] "After 3 years of struggle this looks like a real display of power, finally. Overall quality of wrestling feels like anachronism for the time being, apart from very high-class performances by The Rockers, Hart Foundation and an outstanding Savage/Warrior match with the legendary ending. The biggest problem of this show is a huge amount of useless squashes and I don't mean Taker's match, cause we all know what an absolutely great thing was born here. The main event was OK, but a little too slow and overstretched. Solid show, 6/10"

[6.0] "Finally, after a three disappointing years, we got something to be happy for. Of course it's far from the great show, however number of decent matches is signifantly higher than in previous years. Savage and Warrior with bout of the night obviously."

[3.0] "Warrior and Savage was a good event, but honestly outside of that I really didn't enjoy this. In the same theme of all of the early Manias, too many matches that go on for a few minutes. I know it was regular for the time, but still, for the standard of PPV's in general, it docks points even further for me."

[4.0] "First things first: Savage vs Warrior NEEDED to Main Event. It was the by far best match and story on the card, and is honestly the only memorable must watch contest. Beyond it, you have a great opener and two good matches back to back with the Hoss Fight and Tag Team title match, and a good IC Title match only damaged by a bad finish. That makes 5 of 14 matches worth watching. The rest of this yet again way too crowded Wrestlemania card? Oozing average to straight up bad, featuring yet again six matches too short to even rate or care about, even The Undertakers first Mania match. All topped of by the by far worst Main Event at that point in time between Hogan and Slaughter. This show has definitely more to offer than Wrestlemania 2 and 4 (both 2/10) and also one match show Wrestlemania 6 (3/10), but it once again ends up being difficult to sit through from start to finish. The five praised matches save this card from a 3/10 rating, landing it on a 4/10. Average, nothing special."

[7.0] "Overall, this was a good mania with a very hot crowd especially for Hogan/Slaughter and Warrior/Savage. Both of those matches were good as was the Rockers vs Heenan Family. Outside of those they had solid matches like Bulldog vs Warlord or Snuka vs Undertaker and some bad like Texas Tornado vs Dino Bravo and Mountie vs Tito Santana. Weird to see 2 Japanese legends treated randomly on the show"

[4.0] "match qulity wise the best mania so far but the main event and the overall vibe of the show keeps it from being the best show so far IMO. savge vs warioer was good and i liked the opener and the bulldog match quite a bit , but man there is alot of bad stuff on this show and there are like 5 matches that just should not be on this card. the main event was the pits. on the bright side Genichiro Tenryu was on this show with no build up and he powebombs somene so thats cool. a show with very mixed match quilty that ended with a bad taste in my mouth"

[3.0] "An incredible Savage vs Warrior match and two good tag matches. That's all the positive things I can say about this show. The remaining 11 matches were either short or terrible (sometimes both), with Roberts vs Martel and the main event being the worst of the bunch."
Your5Guy wrote on 12.01.2025:
[6.0] "This Wrestlemania had the most solid matches up to this point, most of the matches were actually solid, and I think that the blindfold match was alright... as entertainment, and not technical wrestling. The highlight of the show was "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs The Ultimate Warrior, I am not a fan of the latter but he managed to pull off a good performance in this match with the Macho Man, it was a great match, and it was a wonderful moment at the end seeing the Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth reunite. However, it DID have more solid matches, but it did not have enough GOOD matches to make it a truly remarkable event, even with the aforementioned great match between the Macho Man and the Ultimate Warrior, after that all the other matches were forgettable."
Killerman wrote on 19.11.2024:
[7.0] "My favorite Wrestlemania(to-date atleast). The first 6 matches are awsome with great moments such as the debut of the streak, two awsome tag matches and many more cool moments. Then you get to the bread and butter of this show, Warrior/Savage. Arguably one of the most emotionally charged wrestling moments of all time. After that phenomenal match the card slows down but still has some good stuff such as Perfect/Bossman(screwy finish aside) aswell as seeing Tenryu. Also I find the mainevent gets abit to much hate, yes it was a terrible storyline but the match itself is nowhere near the worst thing I've ever seen."

[6.0] "Everything (or mostly) up until the Savage-Warrior match was surprisingly incredible for WWF standards, but nothing was going to be able to follow up that match and it was stinking from that point on, rounded up by the awful main event where time stood still. Overall it's still good because the first half was exceptional."

[6.0] "This show is a decent watch, but it doesn't hit the levels one would expect from a WrestleMania. The opening match between the Rockers and the Heenan Family was quite entertaining, getting the show off to a hot start. This is followed by the Texas Tornado squashing Dino Bravo to continue their attempt to establish him. The British Bulldog and the Warlord had a decent match. The Nasty Boys won the World Tag Team Titles off of the Hart Foundation in a good match that served to pave the way for Bret's singles run. Jake Roberts and Rick Martel stunk the joint out with a blindfold match. The Undertaker squashed Jimmy Snuka to start the streak. The Ultimate Warrior ended Randy Savage's career (for now) in the match of the night. Kitao and Tenryo and Demolition had a short, sloppy match. The Big Boss Man and Mr. Perfect had a dull blow off to their feud over the Intercontinental Title. Earthquake squashed Greg Valentine followed by the Legion of Doom squashing Power and Glory. Virgil and Ted DiBiase had a bad match. The Mountie squashed Tito Santana before Hulk Hogan won the World Heavyweight Title from Sgt. Slaughter in an awful match to end the show."
Treyman610 wrote on 21.10.2024:
[2.0] "A 14-match card with 1 match that sticks out as being good. Warrior vs Savage is legitemately good and saves this card from getting an even lower score. The Rockers opener was good but by the time I finished the card it had been completely wiped from my mind. The Hart Foundation losing to The Nasty Boys felt like a personal attack, as did Perfect vs Boss Man ending in a DQ. Then the main event was just absolutely garbage. Two dudes who looked like they were both pushing 55 trying to work a 20-minute match. Sgt. Slaughter being tasked with the Randy Savage role in carrying Hogan's 5-move ass to a compelling main event was a death sentence for a man whose best work was finished a decade prior."
SpecialAgentCooper wrote on 03.09.2024:
[7.0] "While far from perfect, this was my first chronological WWF PPV to just barely hit the 7 point barrier. The plus aspects carrying my score were largely decided by the all-time classic Career Ending Match between Savage/Warrior (potentially my all-time favorite storytelling match) and the typically strong Rockers contribution to the opening tag bout. There were definitely a few true stinkers and squash matches in the mix, but it's easier to overlook those when you have 14 matches on the card and most are pretty much decent enough. They do need to cut this down to like 8-12 matches though, that's the true sweet spot for a big event card. This PPV is still a step too much needlessly "America! Rah Rah! " for my liking, but they at least dialed it back a healthy amount from the almost unwatchable patriotic fellatio of the previous PPV, Royal Rumble 1990. While the main event here was nothing special, it was absolutely crucial that WWF quickly realized their mistake and got the belt off of the all-around terrible Sgt. Slaughter, so... mission accomplished. Even though it was a hideous experience seeing Trump's ugly face return for the first time since WM-5 in the crowd interviews, you otherwise just have to be delighted with the most likeable set of WrestleMania "celebrities" yet to this point of time: Regis Philbin, Marla Maples and Alex Trebek. All in all, this is the first WWF PPV that I would overall call thoroughly good, but it's still a far cry from consistently great."

[4.0] "There were way to many matches on this card that resulted in too many of them getting way too little time to do anything important. This is a same because most of the tag matches were solid and Savage/Warrior is a Top-3 match from the Golden Era of the WWF/E. Also the first really blah Hogan main event of this run with the poorly done Sgt. Slaughter as Iraqi sympathizer angle."
JCC001 wrote on 22.04.2024:
[4.0] "Match quality is slowly but surely getting better with the likes of Bret Hart, Randy Savage, British Bulldog and the Rockers on the card but its still plagued with nothing squash matches and lousy count out and DQ finishes. The main event was incredibly boring and Im tired of seeing these Hogan matches now"
Dirty Diego wrote on 24.03.2024:
[7.0] "Better than the previous wrestlemania, Randy savage and ultimate warrior stole the show it surprised me a lot that the ultimate warrior worked a great macth probably warriors greatest, the two tag matches were good the rockers tag macth and The hart foundation macth, The main event was good Fans were really into it, the build up was bullshit though, the rest of the card was dull to many matches just put on the card it got dull between macho mans macth and the main event, but a good wrestlemania overall"
Burning V Sternness wrote on 18.03.2024:
[8.0] "This show was probably at least 3-4 matches too long, but there was some really good stuff on the undercard and the Main Event delivered, so overall it's an easy thumbs up from me. I think you can argue that its one of the best early WrestleMania events based purely on overall match quality, as it has 5 matches at *** or higher by my watch, which wasnt at all to be sniffed at when it came to the WWF from this Era, as they were usually more about the bombast and pageantry than they were about the quality of the wrestling, so this event stands out as a result and is well worth a viewing. Its just a shame about the exploitation of the war and I am somewhat glad that the show tanked from a business perspective because the WWF deserved it really"
KingsCrossing wrote on 10.03.2024:
[7.0] "This honestly might have the best undercard of any WrestleMania to this point. Most of the previous WMs were loaded with garbage outside of one (or occasionally two) marquee match. While this show did have a few filler bouts, they were generally short and decent enough that they didn't do much to detract from the show, and the undercard bouts that received more time, such as The Rockers vs. Haku/Barbarian and Bulldog vs. Warlord, were far better than the majority of preliminary matches that fans had to sit through at prior WMs. Outside of the rotten main event angle, most of the storylines heading in to this PPV were quite strong, and it paid off with a crowd that was fully invested and responded loudly to most of the action. The highlight of the show was easily Warrior vs. Savage, which I would still consider to be one of the most memorable matches (and moments) in WrestleMania history. The post-match in particular is an all time classic moment and feels very special. I was prepared to hate the main event, but honestly even that ended up exceeding my expectations and they pulled through with a decent enough match, even if it was a bit slow and overly long. This was a much better show than it looked like it would be on paper, and I think every wrestling fan who has any fondness whatsoever for old school wrestling should at least watch Savage vs. Warrior and the post-match segment with Liz."

[2.0] "This event would actually be much more higher if Randy and Warrior main eventted, because that match and the after match was perfect, but no, so every single match after was just the most painfully boring thing to watch, with Hogan showing his love to be the focus by trying to be the american hero."
TrailsOfPersona wrote on 25.11.2023:
[4.0] "Wrestlemania 7 is just such an unremarkable event to me. Much like 6, it is crammed with far too many matches that it gets a bit tiring. But here at 7, there are a lot more matches that are pretty cold. There's just not many matches going into this show that have truly hot feuds. And many of the matches that DO have really big feeling feuds underdeliver amazingly, such as Jake vs. Martel and DiBiase vs. Virgil. So in the end, you have hot feuds that don't deliver, and many cold matches that do about as much as they could. So you're really counting on your main events to deliver. And neither of your top baby faces here are known for delivering. I actually think the two main events are better than expected, but they didn't tear the house down either. The best thing I can say about Wrestlemania 7 is that nothing on the card really stunk. Even the worst of matches here were still decent enough for what they were. Conversely, I don't think there's much at all besides maybe the ending of the Warrior vs. Savage match that will stick in your brain. It's a good enough show to sit down and watch, but I certainly don't think it's a show that will have high repeatability to many people."

[6.0] "This Mania surprised me a bit, I enjoyed this one more than the last couple. This was a pretty good show that absolutely falls off a cliff a little over half way through. A controversial main event with patriot Hogan taking on Iraqi sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter is very much overshadowed by an actual good match and what should have been the main event in Savage/Warrior. This is Taker's first Mania and the start of the streak. Kitao and Tenryu are crazily here to take on a slowly dying Demolition. Pretty crazy show that kinda perfectly showcases 1991 WWF for good and bad."

[6.0] "I loved the first part of this WrestleMania and up to the midway point it was one of my favourites. The Rockers had a great match with Haku and Barbarian, followed by the surprisingly enjoyable Warlord vs Bulldog. Then the WWF Tag Team Titles Match was a very good bout with one of the best executed finishes I have ever seen, while the Blindfold Match was incredible entertaining to me. Warrior vs Savage was good for what it was, although I'm not as hyped about it as other people, but it still was a great send off to The Macho Man, especially with the aftermath. But then it fell apart. A lot of nothing matches and disappointing ones like the IC Match that were only there to fill up the time between then and the main event, which was just awful in every way. Good show with some quality fights, but it's perfectly okay to switch it off at halftime."

[1.0] "Opener was an okay TV match. Texas Tornado given only 3 minutes? BULLDOG VS WARDLOW 8 MINUTES? ! (And I think that this was the MOTN) Tag Team title match was sad. Roberts vs Martel was also sad, terrible stipulation. Taker vs Snuka was a pointless squash, history or not. Savage 100% carried the terrible Warrior. Japanese match was pointless. IC match was booked bad and with a bad finish. Valentine got squashed. LoD vs PaG was pointless (more than the others, 59 seconds? ! ) Virgil vs DiBiase was booked horribly. Mountie vs Santana was...strange. Why give only 1 minute to Tito? The main event was too long and nothing happened for 18 minutes. I'm baffled by the high rating. This show is a waste of time and nothing can be saved from this show."

[5.0] "More of a mixed bag Mania here. Lets start with the good stuff. Rockers vs Heenan Family is a fun and fast opener, Bulldog/Warlord was surprisingly a decent match up, Tag Title match was fine as well and Savage/Warrior was the undisputed MOTN, its the one thing you absulutely must see form this card. Its a shame the rest of the card didn't keep up that level. There were plenty of filler matches that could've been cut, Taker/Snuka and LOD/Power and Glory could've worked as the only two breather squashes, the other sub 5 minute matches just made the pace drag a bit, Virgil/Dibiase, Roberts/Martel and Perfect/Bossman where all underwhelming in ways that could've been fixed by the booking. Those problems however would have been more forgivable considering the amount of good in the first half if the Main Event deliver. Sadly it did not, Hogan and Slaughter had an absolute slog with a lot of nonsense moments and drag down what would've been the first Mania with a satisfactory rating down to another 5 out of 10"

[4.0] "Certainly still suffering from cramming in some pointless stuff and ending up too long but this is decent, silly "U-S-A! " theming and all. Savage/Warrior and the iconic aftermath is of course doing the heavy lifting with the opener, Perfect/Bossman and the return of Andre, and quick exhibitions for Kerry, 'Taker, Kitao and Tenryu, and LOD being nice enough too. The main is a boring addition to a bad angle which notches the whole thing down a point. Still, this is a welcome step up when you've been binge watching 'Manias and made it out the other end of the cursed 4/5/6 trilogy."

[4.0] "A certain step up from the previous Wrestlemania's but still not in the 'good' range. Everything until and including Warrior/Savage made for a good time. The Rockers had another solid Mania tag, the Hard Foundation are good workers, the blindfold match was decent until it wasn't and Undertaker's streak starting was cool. Savage/Warrior was fair and away MOTN even with it's flaws but the post-match was maybe my favourite Mania moment to date. The show falls off a cliff from here aside from a few nice bits like Perfect putting in a solid performance, the Road Warriors getting a cool bit and Tenryu outta nowhere. Virgil/Dibiase is weird, the main event is horrible and so many feuds are paid off with stupid finishes. Not totally terrible but still not good."

ItsTrue99 wrote on 09.10.2022:
"Thoroughly enjoyed this show outside of the Blindfold match. Lots of filler, these older WrestleManias struggled when they didn't have as many storylines ending due to lack of Raw or other prime time weekly TV. Crowd popping moments such as the title changes were very enjoyable, and I was surprised to enjoy the Nasty Boyz match as I'm not normally a fan. Overall I'd give the show a 7."

Check out Savage/Warrior obviously along with the Rockers/Proto Faces Of Fear and the tag title match but everything else is passable."

[4.0] "Still not getting a good Wrestlemania since Mania 3 and it's starting to get annoying. This show does have something none of those last few have, and that's Macho vs Warrior in a Career threatening Match. By far my favorite WWF match from this era, it's genuinely a classic. Go out of your way to go find it. Once you do though, you can skip the rest of this show. Virgil and Dibiase is the only section of the show that's obscenely bad, but the rest of the show is just boring and lame. Shout out to Hogan for having the worst match of his Mania main event run here with Slaughter, real nice end to this stupid show. Only better than 5 and 6 because of the 1 classic match."

[7.0] "The Rockers vs. The Barbarian & Haku. Okay, I have to say that I don? t get the Barbarian? s gimmick. He? s from Tonga, but he dresses like he? s marching through the Himalayas? Anyway, a surprisingly good match. For whatever reason, the Barbarian really picked up his game in the Spring of ? 91, and Haku was always good when he had another good worker in there. ***1/2. The Texas Tornado vs. Dino Bravo. This was near the end of the line for both guys in the WWF and, as it would turn out, in life. Typical squash on the Bermuda Triangle spot of the card. 1/4*. If ever there were a match that tipped off investigators to steroid abuse in wrestling, *this* would be it. Too long for a power match. 3/4*. The Hart Foundation vs. The Nasty Boys. I was never the Nasties biggest fan, but having Jimmy Hart with them just dulls any edge they might once have had. The Hart Foundation would dissolve immediately after this, and Bret would pursue his singles career. Neidhart was stuck with that little runt Owen. What? I said ? runt. ? **1/2. Jake Roberts vs. Rick Martel. Seeing the James Storm vs. Chris Harris match at Lockdown 2007 just illustrates that this match is not as bad as many make it out to be. See, this is a prime example of storytelling and psychology getting over, and shows that you don? t have to overwork yourselves to get a reaction. **1/2. Randy Savage (w/Queen Sherri) vs. The Ultimate Warrior. Bobby Heenan notices Miss Elizabeth sitting out in the crowd. I guess she doesn? t have the connections that Green Shirt Guy does because she? s way in the back. I? d rank this up there with Hart-Austin and Michaels-Taker as the best-booked matches in WrestleMania history. Ironically, Savage would be competing for the title at next year? s show, and Warrior would be begging for his job back. ****1/2. Demolition vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Koji Kitao. This was part of Vince? s alliance with SWS, a promotion that produced a lot of fun for the Japanese media thanks to their controversial penchant for throwing around money. This would be the last gasp for Demolition, as they would be repackaged as the Repo Man (Smash) and the Kona Crush (Crush). 1/2*. Mr. Perfect vs. The Big Bossman. Perfect did a good job of making it look like he could hang with the Bossman in a physical fight. **3/4. The Earthquake vs. Greg Valentine. I liked that Valentine wanted to go after the legs, but it was just a squash to give both guys something to do. 3/4*. The Legion of Doom vs. Power & Glory. At this point, P&G are irrelevant. 1/4*. Ted Dibiase vs. Virgil. Oddly enough, this would just be the start of the feud as the real climax would come not at WrestleMania but at Summerslam before Virgil receded into the background as a jobber to the stars. The Summerslam match is much better. *. The Mountie (w/Jimmy Hart) vs. Tito Santana. A nothing match. 1/4*. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Hulk Hogan. This was just a standard Hogan vs bigger guy match that he's been having since WrestleMania II. **1/4."

Modt of the matches in the card ended in less than 5 minutes. I was Happy to see Kerry Von Erich in a WWE Ring against Dino bravo for example and it is remembered also the first ever WrestleMania for The Undertaker. Good opener between The Rockers adn Haku & Warlord (I should have called Shawn Michaels "Mr opener" at that time because its the third Wrestlemania in the row that he was opening the show). I didn't like the main event it was not well constructed in my opinion and was llogical in some points. Good also the Hart Foundation vs Nasty Boyz but it is clear that this WrestleMania it's all about Warrior vs Savage. It is my favorite Match from that years of "Gimmick Era" and it had all the ingredients that i love about Sport-Entertainment: Two great characters that comes to life, amazing storytelling and Epic false Finish. It was not a realistic match but it was an epic encounter in which both warrior and macho man were really great to create that sense of imprtance about the bout. It means more than this recited Warrior's Attire more than he match with hulkster more than any title match . The 5 macho elbows and the kick out by the Warrior were amazing , and the story about the warrior that "Talks to the God" is fantastic in my opinion. My twisted brain loves this stuff , because wrestling is in some way a theater of emotions. The Warrior losing hopes and self confidence, confidence in the gods that drives him. The final scene also in the aphoteosis of epicity with Warrior pinning only with his feet the Macho King. The after match also is fantastic , I don't really belive in love or anything but this scene with elizabeth and Savage was hearth touching , Mixing perfectly reality with fiction."

The Streak began with entertaining squash. Savage vs Warrior is an amazing match. Warrior winning title from Hogan is the greatest moment of his career but this is the greatest match of his career. Also post-match is awesome. Main event is at least not bad and it completes its main goal: send fans home happy."

Slaughter, who was such a massive anti-American heel at the time that WWF had to change the venue for this event based on the fear that a sniper could take out Slaughter in the open-roofed stadium they had originally chosen. However, that match itself wasn't all that great outside of that moment. The opening tag team match and the tag team title match were also good, and as far as history goes, this event was where The Undertaker's streak began. However, the entire rest of the event was sub-par, with a total of six different filler matches that lasted under 5 minutes."

Savage/Warrior is an obvious one, but also the opening tag and Bossman/Perfect were very good matches, and both the Blindfold match and Virgil/DiBiase are master-class matches in how to absolutely maximize crowd reaction."

To this day, I can still start watching at The Rockers/Faces of Fear, through the KVE and DBS squashes, Harts/Nastys, Martel/Jake and Savage/Warrior bouts and find alot to like."

It's the first Wrestlemania match for The Undertaker. The main event did not have a good feud, but Hulk Hogan vs Sgt. Slaughter had a hot crowd and it was better than expected. The Rockers and The Hart Foundation had two good matches, Big Boss Man was over against Mr. Perfect."

[7.0] "An enjoyable if not entirely great edition of WrestleMania. The Hogan-Slaughter main event and its flag-waving story was very much a product of its time, but for what it was it was effectively played. In terms of match quality, the show by far was carried by the Savage vs. Warrior match, which was excellently done - probably the single best match of Warrior's career - and had a fantastic post-match angle. There was some decent tag team action, notably the Rockers vs. Haku/Barbarian and Nasties vs. Harts, we had a memorable WrestleMania debut for Undertaker, Boss Man vs. Perfect was decent, and DiBiase vs. Virgil was, I think, far better than it had any right to be (and the crowd was actually pretty hot for Virgil). On the other hand, much of the rest was filler, and while I'm sure the blindfold match sounded like a good stipulation on paper, in practice watching two guys stumble around the ring doesn't an exciting match make (I guess I could see it being fun live for its crowd interaction factor). Maybe not the best 'Mania, but it was a childhood favorite and is still a pretty enjoyable watch overall."
