Hosted by Tony Schiavone and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
The opening of the show lists three title matches along with two cage matches. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair is shown working out and jogging through the steps of the arena. In spite of living the “Naitch” lifestyle you can’t fault Flair for lack of endurance during his career.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund welcomes us to "Cajun country." After receiving word through his earpiece Gene introduces...Bobby "The Brain" Heenan! Holy legendary hirings, Batman! Heenan was last seen getting thrown out of an arena on WWF Monday Night RAW on 12/6/93. What a great grab by WCW! Anyways, Gene compares Heenan to Tonya Harding with a "thin ice" joke. Heenan joins Tony Shiavone at ringside to call the action.

The tenth anniversary show opens with a series of photos of Ric Flair as he grew up. Included are a clipping of a newspaper article of the plane crash as well as Flair’s victories over Harley Race at Starrcade ’83 and Ronnie Garvin at Starrcade ’87. Suddenly Vader roars and a sequence of his squashes permeate the introduction. As an added bonus the aftermath of Vader’s powerbomb of Cactus Jack is briefly shown.

This year’s event marks the third Battlebowl. In previous years Battlebowl occurred at Starrcade. While hyping the event Jesse mentions that the winner receives a Battlebowl ring. Both the heel and face locker rooms are shown via split-screen. Recounting Battlebowl history Tony notes that Sting won the first event and is here tonight while the Great Muta who won the second one isn’t here. Remember these marquee names when the names get pulled. Oh, (though unmentioned on camera) Sid Vicious and Arn Anderson are still suspended due to the hotel room altercation. Hopefully that should clear up some of the names drawn in the Lethal Lottery.

The opening sequence begins with children trick-or-treating. “Dracula” wants to pick the next house much to his friends’ dismay. He points toward a mansion behind a steel gate. At the same time a man’s hand is shown awaiting his visitors. Upon their entrance the steel gate closes behind them frightening the other children. “Dracula” continues onward and rings the doorbell which rings as a high-pitch squeal. Obviously they’re taken aback by that.

Gorilla Monsoon welcomes us to Caesar’s Palace for WrestleMania IX. In case you’re not aware, this is the first WrestleMania to take place outdoors. Another fifteen years would pass by before WrestleMania was truly outdoors again. Monsoon introduces the newest member of the WWF broadcast team—Jim Ross! Yes, folks, he’s wearing a toga in his debut! With the weight of trying to make WCW look good off his shoulders Ross seems very happy to be here! Subsequently he presents our ring announcer “Finkus Maximus” for the introductions.
Backstory: I was reading Scott Keith’s Monday Night RAW Season One on Kindle, and he mentioned the lack of hype for the main event of WrestleMania IX. That seemed peculiar and very un-WWF-like. I wanted to find out the scoop on this; therefore, I started watching the 1993 episodes of RAW and noticed a missing week between March 22 and WrestleMania on April 4.
