Wrestlemania 7 was the seventh Wrestlemania event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 21st April 1991

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Intercontinental Champion Roddy Piper vs Randy Savage in a 30 minute Iron Man match. At Wrestlemania 3 after an absolute blood feud, Roddy Piper defeated Randy Savage in a career threatening match forcing him to retire, 4 years later at Royal Rumble 1991 after Roddy Piper defeated Koko B.Ware to retain the Intercontinental Championship, Randy Savage returned demanding to get his career back to which Piper just laughed, in the Royal Rumble match Savage got through security and eliminated Piper. Over the weeks, Savage has been doing anything to fire up Piper's fighting spirit and Piper finally lost it and accepted a match where if Savage lost, he can never step foot in a wrestling arena again, if he wins, he gets his career back and the Intercontinental Championship.

The other main match is Haku defending his WWF Championship against Andre The Giant. At Wrestlemania 5, Andre and Haku joined forces and became Colossal Connection, they worked on their teamwork over the year and at Wrestlemania 6 they became tag team champions but something flipped on Haku as he became a complete samoan psycho after this picking up a fight with anyone he saw and beating legends like Roddy Piper in under 5 minutes, even winning the MITB briefcase. At Summerslam 1990, Andre The Giant didn't manage to tag in Haku and they lost the tag titles in a fatal 4 way tag match, their manager Bobby Heenan slapped Andre for his incompetence and Andre responded by grabbing Heenan by the collar, Haku beat Andre up and injured him, Haku would become WWF champion at G1 Finals 1990 and Andre returned at SNME December wanting revenge. Haku tried to become the first man ever to win the Royal Rumble as WWF Champion so he could pick his challenger but Andre The Giant lastly eliminated him to win it, Andre has only shown up once since the rumble and it was for the contract signing where he biel'd Haku out of the ring, Haku has defeated almost every legend of the Golden Era but can he defeat the biggest Golden Era monster

At SNME June 1985, Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart were attacked but no one saw who it was, it looked like they were falling down on their own, Bret Hart claimed 2 "Invisible Men" were behind this which started this storyline, Adrian Adonis and Bob Orton Jr. were revealed as the invisible men but they say that they were hired by a real Invisible Man, the mastermind behind all this. For 4 years, the Invisible Man would appear sporadically to attack Bret, such instances include Superstars 91 where he was attacked backstage and lost the 24/7 title due to it, SNME September 1987 where Invisible Man rolled him up and won the 24/7 Championship and King of the Ring 1989 where he made Bret lose the Intercontinental Championship. Finally, at Wrestlemania 6 after their tag title loss, Jim Neidhart attacked Bret and revealed himself as the culprit behind Invisible Man stating that Bret got way too cocky in the last few years and gave up on their intial dream which were the tag titles just because he wanted to have a singles career, at Summerslam 1990 they had the worst match ever for WWF as Bret Hart fought Jim Neidhart but the twist was that Neidhart was hidden under the invisible cape and only the ref could see him with special glasses, this was awful because we only saw Bret Hart literally fighting and bumping against the air. Bret would not give up against Neidhart as he continued beating him up at any chance he got, Bret thought ahead and challenged Neidhart to a match at Wrestlemania 6 months before it happened, they will finally settle their long running feud in an Extreme Rules match

Rick Martel started off the season by calling out Hulk Hogan telling him it was time for the New Generation of talent to step up, but Martel would be defeated by Hogan at SNME May 1990 in 5 minutes, Martel went off in the first worked shoot promo saying how Hogan is Vince's golden boy and everyone is too chicken to step up to him and he was suspended due to his actions, once he returned he continued pissing off Hogan as at Summerslam 1990 he made sure Hogan lost the title to Undertaker, they had another match during the G1 and this one lasted 10 minutes but Hogan still defeated him, Rick Martel demanded Monsoon to give him one last match against Hulk Hogan and he gets it tonight

At Summerslam 1990, British Bulldog refused to join Ringmasters low blowing them and attacking them with the help of Dusty Rhodes, they teamed up for a while until Dusty Rhodes lost his golden opportunity losing a WWF Champonship match to Haku at Superstars 259, Bulldog tried to help him up but Dusty attacked him blaming him for this loss. Dusty explains that he never believed in Bulldog or the New Generation, he just knew he needed fresh blood to get to the top but even that couldn't help him so now he wants to defeat Bulldog, Monsoon decided that this match should be a NO1 Contendership match

At Survivor Series 1990, Texas Tornado unsucessfully challenged for Koko B.Ware's Intercontinental Championship, now with Koko no longer as champion and without a Wrestlemania match, Tornado challenged him because he wants to have a great wrestling match at Mania, Koko accepted

At Survivor Series, there was a New Generation vs Old Generation Survivor Series Tag Match in which Undertaker was in the New Generation side while Jake Roberts was on the Old Generation, Undertaker ended up being eliminated last by Jake Roberts. At SNME December, he got his revenge as Roberts and Jimmy Snuka were having their tag title match against Demolition and Undertaker showed up and chokeslammed Roberts leading to his loss, Jake Roberts challenges The Deadman tonight

Legion of Doom, Ted Dibiase's hired guns, won the Survivor Series Tag Team Tournament and tonight will face Demolition for the tag titles in a dream match as both teams have been compared because of their looks and domination since Demolition's debut in 1987
