Vince McMahon: We knew going into WrestleMania III it would be huge...Likely the biggest event in our sport. A lot of sleepless nights went into the decision making and what we came up with...well knowing what I know now I still would make the same decisions. At the time though... rewrite was my favorite word

 

Roddy Piper: I sat in on a lot of those meetings, with Vince, Harley and the boys. I was still cutting my chops on booking but ... I knew we were on to something, and not just because I would benefit from it...

 

Bobby Heenan: You have a guy who no one can remember losing, and his opponent is a guy no one can picture losing. Some on has to lose, and therein lies the draw.

 

Vince McMahon: It was definitely the most defining...

 

Bret Hart: ...biggest...

 

Hulk Hogan: ...most eye opening...

 

Bobby Heenan: ...most well remembered match of all time.

 

WrestleMania III

 

Hey all. I was ready to stop writing dynasties all together but this idea came to me and I was really interested by it, so I'm going to try and run with it. The dynasty will start right with WM III and carry on from there.

 

I'd like to thank Genadi for the great mod and the fantastic writers of GDS for inspiring me to do this mod, and in the end do this dynasty.

 

I hope you all enjoy!

Eventually the action spills to the outside where Hogan slams Andre face first into the steps. This seems to stun the Giant and Hulk pumps himself up to try and slam Andre! Not this time as Hogan is backdropped onto the thin blue mats!

Whoa! Savage retains AND Andre wins the belt?! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Now I gotta see where this is going!

[Ritchardo]

Interesting... I must admit, I've seen Savage retain over Steamboat before in a diary and I've seen Andre beat Hogan in a diary (once)... but never both in the same diary at the same time... interested to see where you go with such a heel heavy roster and two main eventing heel singles champs.
