You didn't exactly answer the questionWrestlemania IX had The Steiners vs Headshrinkers, which was entertaining, and the Hogan/Beefcake vs Money Inc match, which was also not totally awful. Mr. Perfect vs Lex Luger isn't particularly good but it isn't bad, either. The weird thing about Wrestlemania IX is that WWF had a great roster at the time but they just totally bungled the booking; Bret Hart could've faced Hulk Hogan or Mr. Perfect in the title match and both would've been pretty damn good (one would've been a great passing of the torch, the other would've been a classic 5 star match). They had Randy Savage sitting around doing nothing instead of facing either Shawn Michaels for the IC title or, my preference, Undertaker in a grudge match. The Steiner Brothers were a strong tag team who should've been competing for the tag team titles. The fans would've really got behind that match as Money Inc had insane heat. Lex Luger, who was a WWF rookie at the time, should've faced Tatanka; the build up could've been centred on the fact that Tatanka was undefeated at that time and Luger was desperate to make a name for himself. Ending the streak would've been genuinely impressive, as it was quite hyped at the time. Bob backlund and Razo Ramon had a total waste of a match - it could've been quite good if they'd been given more than 1 minute. It's a shame WWF didn't book a better card; they had enough talent.
There weren't 3 Yokozuna matches. It was Yoko vs Bret and Yoko vs Hogan. You might be confusing it with Wrestlemania X, where he also had 2 matches.Wrestlemania 9 by a fucking mile. And to think... we were supposed to have Hulk Hogan v. Ric Flair in the main event of that event. Instead we got 3 Yokozuna matches. Okay, 2 1/2.
Oh, and the Egyptian theme was beyond fucking gay. Nothing against Egyptians, hell one of my favorite posters on this forum is Egyptian... but really, what the fuck? It would have been alright if the event was actually held in Egypt, but it was in Las Fucking Vegas. So because the event is in the desert they had to theme the event after another country that has a desert? That made absolutely no sense at all. They might as well have had Elvis impersonators jumping out of planes and parachuting into the ring. It wouldn't have been any less stupid, but at least it would have made sense. Cameo appearance by ****** Tonk Man maybe? Surely this idea crossed someone's mind.
Egyptian? It was Roman and it had that theme because it was held at the Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas.Wrestlemania 9 by a fucking mile. And to think... we were supposed to have Hulk Hogan v. Ric Flair in the main event of that event. Instead we got 3 Yokozuna matches. Okay, 2 1/2.

I think you may be mentally fusing Wrestlemanias IX and X. Yokozuna fought Bret and then had the Hogan in the Bank incident at IX. He fought Luger and then Bret at X. My guess is that you were thinking he fought Luger, then Bret, then the Hogan thing happened.Wrestlemania 9 by a fucking mile. And to think... we were supposed to have Hulk Hogan v.
