Prior to the [[TheEighties '80s]], Main/ProfessionalWrestling was a regional affair. There were at least 30 different promotions at the time in the United States, each of them holding claim to a territory that none of the others would infringe upon. However, at this time, there was a man who had far bigger plans for Professional Wrestling: plans to turn his regional promotion into a national phenomenon.

The star he got? None other than Wrestling/HulkHogan, who he would make his champion and turn him into a name everyone knew and loved. Hulkamania began running wild, and crowds ate it up. [=McMahon=] continued to build, bringing in more and more talent. However, to truly take his promotion nationwide, he needed money. To get that money, he took a huge gamble, betting the farm in an AllOrNothing risk by setting up a supercard event that would be shown on Pay-Per-View all over the nation.
