Let’s be honest here- the first match of the afternoon sucked. It was Tito Santana versus Papa Shango in an eight-minute contest that wasn’t even broadcast. The WWE Universe would view this fight for the first time in a hidden gems section of a WWE DVD. As for the fans in attendance in Las Vegas, this was a very poor way to start the afternoon.
The first official match on the WrestleMania 9 card was Tatanka versus Shawn Michaels, which was a bit of an upgrade. Tatanka had an undefeated streak in the months leading up to the contest and the Intercontinental title was on the line. Unfortunately, this match ended in a count-out, and Tatanka’s undefeated streak remained intact. Great match, but bad booking.
