| 0:00.0 | WrestleMania is known for incredible matches like the macho man Randy Savage versus Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 5. |
| 0:06.9 | Shaw Michaels versus Razoramone at Restimania 10. |
| 0:09.9 | But what about the matches that were canceled or changed before WrestleMania even happened? |

| 1:25.5 | Both good matches, but the idea of not getting Flair versus |
| 1:30.1 | Hogan at WrestleMania 8 because of poor house show reactions to me is one of the biggest |
| 1:35.6 | mistakes ever. How many times have you gone to an episode of Raw or Smackdown or a house show |
| 1:42.2 | and everyone's going crazy for something. |
| 1:44.7 | And then you watch it on pay-per-view and maybe it delivered. |
