Okay, so, I wanted to figure out how long WrestleMania 2 was. You know, just curious about how these events have changed over time. It’s like when you watch old movies and are amazed at how different things were back then. Same idea here.
First, I hit up my usual spot for info which was Google search, and typed in “WrestleMania 2 duration.” I got a bunch of results, but a lot of them were just talking about the event itself, not the actual length. Not exactly what I was looking for.
Then, I tried to use these results to find some info. I browsed through some of them but I was a little confused because there was so much info that I couldn’t get the point.
Finally, I found some details about WrestleMania 2. It’s said that WrestleMania 2 was actually held across three different locations on the same day. They split it up into three parts, with each venue hosting four matches.
- New York, Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum hosted the first four matches.
- Chicago, Rosemont Horizon hosted the middle four matches.
- Los Angeles, Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena hosted the final four matches, including the main event.
Now, from what I could piece together, each match probably lasted around 10-15 minutes on average. Plus, you gotta add in time for entrances, promos, and maybe some backstage segments, right? So, I figured each segment of the event, with four matches each, likely ran for about 1 hour and a half, give or take. I tried some simple calculations to verify that. I multiplied 15 minutes (assuming this as the longest match duration) by 4 (the number of matches in each part) and I got 60 minutes, which is 1 hour. I added 30 minutes extra for entrances, commercials, etc. So, yeah, it is roughly 1 hour and a half.
So, doing the super complicated math, if each location had 1 hour and a half of content, and there were three locations, WrestleMania 2 was probably around four and a half hours long, maybe a little longer, maybe a little less. It’s hard to say exactly without watching the whole thing from start to finish, but that’s my best guess.
It is pretty wild to think about how different things were back then. Nowadays, WrestleMania is a massive, single-location event that goes on for hours and hours, sometimes even spread across two nights! It is amazing how much it has evolved.
