Wrestlemania 3

The year was 1987. The stadium was the Pontiac Silverdome in the United States, and the event was Wrestlemania 3. The athletes were Hulk Hogan, who was 2.01 metres tall and weighed 137 kilograms, and Andre the Giant, who was 2.24 metres tall and weighed 240 kilograms. There were 93,173 spectators there to watch the wrestling match.
Professional wrestling is more of a show than a sport. The winners and losers are planned before the match begins. The wrestlers want the spectators to believe they are hurting each other, but they try not to. At Wrestlemania 3, the spectators didn’t know that Andre had been in a lot of pain before the match started. He had had an operation on his back to fix injuries caused by 20 years of wrestling, but it wasn’t enough. His back hurt badly, and he was very angry. He was so angry that Hulk Hogan was afraid Andre might refuse to lose.
The plan was for Hulk Hogan to be the victor, making him the champion and the greatest wrestler of all time, but Andre the Giant was too big for Hogan to beat in real life. Andre could have destroyed Hulk Hogan’s career, and he was mad enough to do it. However, in the end, Andre let Hogan win. Hulk Hogan became the most famous wrestler of his generation, and Andre went to Hollywood and starred in a great fantasy film.
