Slaughter and his portrayal of an Iraqi sympathizer) on the day of WrestleMania VII.
The tagline for the event was "Superstars and Stripes Forever," and is remembered for its theme of American patriotism. American flags were hung all over the arena and the ring apron and banners were colored red, white, and blue, which was the basis for the main event between Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter for the WWF Championship. WrestleMania VII is mostly remembered for the emotional reunion between "Macho Man" Randy Savage and his manager, Miss Elizabeth, which occurred following Savage losing a "Retirement Match" to the Ultimate Warrior. The Theme Song to this event is called "Worldwide Spectacle" by WWF's own Jim Johnston
