April 5, 1992
WWF presented Wrestlemania VIII (WWE Network link) from the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. 62,167 were in attendance, with 390,000 homes watching on PPV. That's down from 400,000 forWrestlemania VII.

The show was noted for the billed final match of Hulk Hogan. Hogan took a leave of absence from the company with the WWF under scrutiny for steroid use among its performers, and Hulk himself trying to jumpstart an acting career. Hogan would not return until just over a month before Wrestlemania IX.

April 5, 1999
WCW presented Monday Nitro (WWE Network link) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The show is noted for the introduction of WCW’s new logo. The logo gains a bit of infamy when in an official advertisement for the show it was compared to bird poop.

The new look did little to change WCW’s fortunes in the Monday Night Wars, though they got a little closer: Nitro does a 4.3 rating, consistent with what they were doing at the time, but RAW still wins the night comfortably with a 5.8.
