WWF decided to run in the huge Hiran Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico  on October 19, 1985. It wasn’t a great way to start the evening…and then the storm kicked in.

A tiny 1,200 fans showed up to the giant stadium, probably because the weather schedule wasn’t set for anything good. Mid-way through Hogan/Studd, the rainstorm starts and well…it isn’t pretty.

Worth a cheap laugh, if nothing else. Poor Gorilla Monsoon has to commentate and announce by himself. WWE keeps on tempting fate by having outdoor venues for Wrestlemania and manages to get away with it.
