[edit] Trivia
- On the Coliseum Video release of the event, the elimination of the British Bulldogs from the tag team bout is edited out. There is no mentioning of who eliminates them or how.
- Don Muraco was not originally planned to be a part of the main event. He was a substitute for "Superstar" Billy Graham, who was unable to compete due to his injured hip.
- Vince McMahon threatened cable companies who aired the NWA's Starrcade (which going head-to-head with Survivor Series on Thanksgiving night, 1987) instead of Survivor Series would not be allowed to broadcast WrestleMania IV. Most cable providers gave into McMahon's threat and only a handful aired Starrcade.
