>The WWF originally scheduled WrestleMania VII for the LA Memorial Coliseum in an attempt to break a 100,000 attendance record. They later moved to the much smaller LA Memorial Sports Arena across the street, citing concerns that someone might try to bomb the arena due to Sgt. Slaughter's Iraqi sympathizer gimmick. The real reason for the move was the WWF realizing they wouldn't come close to selling out the 100,000 seats at the Coliseum. WWF couldn't even sell out the Sports Arena. They had to give away tickets days before the show.
