WrestleMania IV featured a 14-man tournament for the vacant World Wrestling Entertainment Championship.
WrestleMania IV featured the first time that the World Wrestling Entertainment Championship changed hands at WrestleMania, when Randy Savage was crowned WWE Champion.
The WWE Championship was declared vacant in the days leading up to WrestleMania IV the first time the title had ever been vacant since Buddy Rogers became the first WWE Champion in 1962.

The Andre/Hulk match must've been in the days just prior to Wrestlemania IV; and then they fought again at the event.
So I re-issue my apology, since I was wrong about it being Wrestlemania I, but it wasn't Wrestlemania III either. Nyah, nyah.

Damn, I hate when I have to apologize.
Chuck, I apologize too. You almost had it completely right. I bow down to your vast knowledge of professional wrestling. Who woulda thunk it?
See link below. Andre the Giant beat Hulk Hogan on 02/05/88. They took it away from him and held a 16 man tournament at Wrestlemania 4 on 03/27/88. Macho Man Randy Savage beat Ted DeBiase for the championship, with help from Hulk Hogan. The good twin, Blaine Kennedy was the referee.
