Former WWE editor and writer BrianRSolomon shared memories of the WrestleMania X-Seven afterparty on the event's 25th anniversary, describing it as a blast where everyone knew the show had been a big success.
​
Solomon said Vince McMahon was smoking a big cigar (a rare sight) alongside Ed Cohen. Motorhead had their own table. The Gimmick Battle Royal participants like Kamala, the Bushwackers, and Repo Man had a table of their own. Bobby Heenan was chasing Vince McMahon around trying to get rehired.
​
WrestleMania X-Seven took place April 1, 2001 at the Reliant Astrodome in Houston and is widely regarded as the greatest WrestleMania of all time.
​
Solomon is a former WWE editor and author of several wrestling books including Irresistible Force: The Life and Times of Gorilla Monsoon. He also hosts the Shut Up and Wrestle podcast. His books are available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.
