WrestleMania 3 is credited with pushing the then-WWF over the top in the wrestling industry and as the pinnacle of the 1980s boom period for WWE. The show did huge business for the company and drew in a massive crowd at the Pontiac Silverdome. The show’s true attendance remains in contention.
WWE honoring the WrestleMania 3 match in 1987 comes nearly a year after Hogan’s death. It is not known who will represent Hogan or Andre in Las Vegas at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
