WrestleMania 2: what the world has come to!

THIS is the Nassau Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, an arena that will in the future host events like SummerSlam 2002 and Worlds End 2023. Vince McMahon greets us from the ring and welcomes Susan Saint James, an actress with future Emmy and Golden Globe nominations to her name, to be his color commentator. Ray Charles performs “America the Beautiful” as imagery flashes across our screens. Cowboys! Office workers! Farmers! Soldiers! Children! Mount Rushmore! Hulk Hogan! America, fuck yeah!
