With tickets to WrestleMania 40 going on sale Friday, let’s take a look back at some of the best pro wrestling moments in the city’s history.
The city is well remembered for being a stomping ground for the WWE and for the genesis of ECW. But it was also a popular spot for the Southern-based NWA, who regularly held shows at the Civic Center. And their outside show at The Vet nearly 40 years ago provides a taste of what WrestleMania 40 will look like. In the main event, Dusty Rhodes teamed with Road Warrior Animal to win a tag-team cage match against Arn and Ole Anderson. It was outdoor wrestling in South Philly.
Cody Rhodes described the Philadelphia wrestling crowd as “contrarian,” as the fans might not always go along with the way the show is promoted. And that seems like the perfect way to describe how they acted at Survivor Series in 2006. The stars of a five-on-five elimination match were supposed to be Shawn Michaels and Triple H, who had reunited months earlier as D-Generation X.
