WWE WrestleMania 33: 5 rare WrestleMania stats and facts, Part 3
Hello one and all, and welcome back to the penultimate part of our journey down memory lane as we continue to gear up for WrestleMania 33.
With just a week and a half remaining until the Orlando spectacular, things really are heating up, with Raw and SmackDown LIVE continuing to pick up the pace with just the go-home shows remaining.
But we're here to look into the past as opposed to the future, with so much to unpackage in terms of old school facts and figures.
Thus far we've spoken about everything from backstage shenanigans to the actual matches themselves, and we're going to be continuing down that unpredictable path as we attempt to separate the odd from the remarkable.
Whether or not this ramps up your excitement for the Citrus Bowl extravaganza is irrelevant, because the important thing is that the WWE Universe appreciates and respects WrestleMania for is for what it is: the biggest event in sports entertainment.
It's taken on a life of its own and there's a reason why people say it's bigger than the Super Bowl - because it is.
With all that being said, let's take a look at five rare WrestleMania stats and facts - part three.
#1 WM16's debuts
WrestleMania 16, also known as WrestleMania 2000, wasn't the greatest of shows, especially when you consider that its sequel was potentially the best wrestling pay per view of all time.
The event was riddled with multi-man bouts that didn't make all too much sense, however, if you look a little bit deeper, there was a lot of future stars in the making on the card.
For example, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Christian, Edge, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz all made their WrestleMania debuts on that fateful night.
When you consider that they were all involved in mid card matches, it's frightening to think how much potential the WWE had on their hands. Thankfully, they utilised it pretty well in the long run.
