WrestleMania IX was a big professional wrestling show put on by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It happened on April 4, 1993, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was the ninth time the WWF held a WrestleMania event.
The main event was a match for the WWF Championship. In this match, Yokozuna fought Bret Hart. Yokozuna won the championship after his manager, Mr. Fuji, threw salt in Bret Hart's eyes.
Right after the match, Hulk Hogan came to the ring to check on Bret Hart. Mr. Fuji then challenged Hogan to wrestle Yokozuna right away for the championship. Hogan accepted! In a very quick match, Hogan won the championship from Yokozuna in just 22 seconds. He used his famous "leg drop" move to pin Yokozuna.
What People Thought of WrestleMania IX
Some people who watched WrestleMania IX didn't think it was a very good show. They felt that many of the matches were not exciting.
For example, a wrestling writer named John Powell said that only a couple of matches were good. These were the matches for the Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championship. He also didn't like some of the outfits worn by the wrestlers and announcers at the event.
