Wrestlemania III is simply put one of the greatest Wrestlemania's of all time, if not for 17 and 19, I would rank this as the all time best. As much as I dislike Hogan's egotistical ways, and his selfish thinking, he set the bar for other wrestlers, and truly put WWE on the map, and his match with Andre paved the way for so many things. But the real classic on this show, is Steamboat Vs Savage, you will rarely see any better. Gorilla and Jesse Ventura are the perfect announcing tandem, and the crowd is huge and LOUD!.
Can-Am Connection Vs Don Muraco&Bob Orton. Sadly too short, but it's truly excellent for the time it got, and if it went a little longer, it surely could have came close to a 5 * match!. Can-Am prevail with a cross body.
3 1/2 /5
Billy Jack Haynes Vs Hercules. Actually rather fun for what it was, and I enjoyed the storyline behind it. Both look roided up|Though I could be wrong, but I doubt it| But it was still an interesting contest of power. Double count out ensures, with Hercules bloodying up Billy Jack at the end of the match, with his steel chain.
2 1/2 /5
Mixed tag team match
Hillybilly Jim, The Hati Kid and Little Beaver Vs King Kong Bundy, Little Tokyo and Lord Littlebrook. Fun comedy match I suppose, pretty harmless stuff. Bundy was on his way out shortly after this, and it was pretty pointless, but I had an OK time with it. Hillbilly's team wins by DQ.
2/5
Loser must bow before the king match.
Junkyard Dog Vs King Harley Race. Some fun comedy antics, but it's nothing memorable at all. This one is to play up the crowd, and they did a good job with that. Harley wins with a belly to belly suplex. Afterwards JD Bows, but crowns Harley with a chair, much to Ventura's disgust.
1/5

WWF Championship.
Hulk Hogan|C| Vs Andre The Giant. Hogan about blows the roof off the place. No way a classic wrestling match, but the ramifications of it, and the way it paved way for so many things, it deserves it's classical reputation. It's very chilling stuff, and the wrestling isn't as bad as you may think either. So many classic moments, and a selfish, but needed ending, make this one of the best matches in Wrestling history. If you honestly need me to tell you the ending to the match, your not a Wrestling buff.
5/5
Bottom line. Wrestlemania 3 is not only one of Wrestlemania's greatest, but one of the best Wrestling events period!. There is really not much to dislike here, and I feel it's the reason why WWE is still successful today. This is very much a required viewing, and you can't call yourself a wrestling fan if you haven't.
Even though the article that I am basing this paper off of is mainly in regards to the Jeffries-Johnson match of 1910, I believe that some background on the
The symbols and language used in “Battle Royal” allow readers to understand the concept of being black in America; fighting for equality. Symbols such as the white blindfold, stripper, and battle itself all give a suggestion about how the unnamed protagonist felt, but more importantly, Ralph Ellison’s “Battle Royal” depicts the difficult struggles facing the black man in what’s supposed to be a post-slavery era.
From the silent era, I chose the movie, The Great Train Robbery, which was directed by Edwin S. Porter. It is a great example of a film that introduced new camera techniques, composite editing, and on-location shooting. As for the sound era, the movie I chose is Á bout de soufflé, also titled Breathless, which was directed by Jean-Luc Godard and was known for its visual style using its jump cuts. It also was the earliest and most influential examples of French New Wave
I believe that E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is the best movie of all time and here is why. The film E.T. directed by Steven Spielberg, was nominated for nine Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. Not to mention E.T. superseded Star Wars: A New Hope as the highest-grossing film of all time in the United States. Also, this movie was filmed in chronological order so the emotion between the characters were real which resulted an emotional response from the audience. Finally, E.T. is a timeless film, any age or generation can enjoy it because of its universal

The film I picked is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." I first saw this movie about five years ago while a senior in high school. I loved the movie, but now after watching it I took a closer look at the stereotypes and generalizations that are being depicted in various ways like language, names, landscapes and people. I picked this film because the movie is famous and very well known by Italians, Americans, and Hispanics, and not just famous in America Hollywood (and because I had list of required films I had to pick from). While watching the movie my second time around I tried and focus on the location where the movie takes place in order to demonstrate how lands of Mexico, New Mexico and Texas generalized. I also placed attention to the names the characters are given. There is a term used in Hollywood called little man wins' but after watching The Good, The Bad and The Ugly one observe how this cliché is not used.

After years of training Dwayne finally made it to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Not long after he entered into the WWF became the main event at the biggest pay-per-view wrestling event of the year, which in a way is like the Super Bowl is to football. The main event was scheduled to be between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock for the championship belt (which was held by The Rock at the time). After the most exciting match in sports entertainment, the winner was announced to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. This was said to be the greatest moment in The Rock's career so far. In some ways, this may sound strange because he lost, but just to be in the main event was the biggest accomplishment for a WWF superstar.

So, I got ready for my next match, which was against Jeff Petro from Wray, CO. As we warmed up in the same corner, I looked at him with some fear to tell you the truth. This guy was ripped, ...
Wrestling is a mirror image of life. Many times wrestling superstars will get injured while fighting an opponent. In June of 1998 Mick Foley was the persona Mankind. He was booked to wrestle a wrestler called the Undertaker. The match was to take place in a steel cage. At the last moment Mankind decided to climb up the cage and fight on top. While he was up there, Undertaker threw him off of the twenty foot cage and Mankind dislocated his left shoulder. They took him off on a stretcher but he battled back only to have a tooth driven through the roof of his mouth up into his nose. He could not call time out during the match although he most likely wanted to. He had to keep wrestling eventhough he suffered from a concussion from the fall off of the cage. That relates directly to life in the fact that you cannot call time out if you get hurt, the world will not stop for something, it just keeps going and people have to just go with the flow.
We soon learned to live with this violence, and we even participated in it more than anyone would probably admit to. But after all of the beat downs we had received from the other teams, we were finally going to go to a big tournament, the Durango Shootout.
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, echoes through my head as I walk to the middle of the mat. "At 160lbs Aidan Conner of La Junta vs. Rodney Jones of Hotchkiss." All I can think of is every bead of sweat, every drip of blood, every mile, every push up, every tear. Why? All of this: just to be victorious. All in preparation for one match, six minutes. For some these six minutes may only be a glimpse, and then again for some it may be the biggest six minutes of their life. Many get the chance to experience it more than once. Some may work harder and want it more than others, but they may never get the chance. All they get is a moral victory. Every kid, every man comes into the tournament with a goal. For some is to win, for some is to place, others are just happy to qualify. These six minutes come on a cold frigid night in February at a place called the Pepsi Center. Once a year this gathering takes place when the small and the large, the best of the best, come to compete in front thousands of people. I am at the Colorado State Wrestling Championships.
...conference, a brawl erupted among the boxers and their respective entourages. On June 8, 2002, in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike fought Lewis in a bout to unify the heavyweight titles of the International Boxing Organization (IBO), IBF, and WBC. He was knocked out in the eighth round.
