5 greatest ever WrestleMania venues

Pontiac Silverdome
The legacies of these venues are carved in stone!

#2 Pontiac Silverdome

Pontiac Silverdome
The Silverdome’s legacy will live on forever

It truly is sad to see what has become of this once great stadium over the years. The Pontiac Silverdome was the home of WrestleMania 3, and that really is the biggest compliment that the Michigan-based venue can have. It was one of the most revolutionary events in the history of professional wrestling, and it couldn't have happened without the Silverdome.

Let's be realistic here, 98% of us have seen the image of Hulk Hogan bodyslamming Andre the Giant. Even subconsciously, WWE tends to include it in all its video packages. When you put that together with Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage match, you have two reasons why the crowd that night went absolutely mental.

In a way, it'd be great to see WrestleMania return to Pontiac one day. Unfortunately, that's a near impossibility, but the company should commemorate the stadium for everything it has done for the legacy of sports entertainment. Without it, we may not be writing this article here today.

Onto another choice that quite simply defines Vince's brainchild.
