It's traditionally the grandest night in the World Wrestling Federation. WrestleMania: the great spectacle, the granddaddy of sports entertainment, a magical night where dreams become reality, where legends stand immortal, where incredible feats of athleticism are indelibly etched in the annals of time.
But this year, a tempest engulfs utopia. This year, clouds of hatred and anger have eclipsed the heavens, shed darkness on the gods. We've watched as heroes stepped down from their pedestals, witnessed malicious attacks by a depraved Nation, beheld the dark, disturbing flashes from a once benevolent force.
Tonight, three determined men [Ahmed Johnson and the Legion of Doom] unite to wage war against an evil Nation. Their battleground: the cold, unforgiving streets of Chicago.
Tonight, two giants [The Undertaker and Sycho Sid] appear willing to shed their noble armor to embrace their dark sides, to possess the coveted gold.
And tonight, two angry young men [Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin] destined to destroy each other will endure intolerable pain in a brutal submission match.
It's WrestleMania, the Showcase of the Immortals, the greatest night in sports entertainment. It's supposed to be a night of celebration, a time to rejoice. But tonight, none of these men are smiling.
