5 surprising WWE WrestleMania facts

#4 There have only been two WWE WrestleMania events outside of the United States

Both WWE WrestleMania VI and WrestleMania X8 emanated from Canada

WWE WrestleMania has become a global phenomenon since the inaugural event at Madison Square Garden in 1985. The showcase of the immortals has developed into a week long festival in which members of the WWE Universe from around the globe come to partake in WrestleMania week festivities.

The global presence of WrestleMania is best represented by the crowd at the most recently attended WrestleMania. After the success of WrestleMania 35 in MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, WWE announced that a capacity crowd of 82,265 fans from all 50 U.S and 68 countries around the world had attended WrestleMania that year. This is a true indicator of the global reach that WrestleMania provides.

However, it's interesting to note that despite this global reach, WrestleMania has only taken place outside of the United States of America twice. Both WrestleMania VI and WrestleMania X8 emanated from the Skydome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

WrestleMania VI took place on April 1, 1990 and was headlined by Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior for both the WWE World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships.

WrestleMania X8 took place on March 17, 2002 and was main evented by Chris Jericho vs Triple H for the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, the event is perhaps best known for featuring Hulk Hogan vs The Rock in a WrestleMania classic.
