List of WrestleMania 5 Venue, Location, and Production Details

Venue — Atlantic City Convention Hall (Second Year)

Same Venue as WM4 — Only in History

WrestleMania 5 was held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall — the same venue as WM4 in 1988, making them the only consecutive WM events at the same location until WM41 and WM42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Date — April 2, 1989 (Sunday)

Easter Sunday 1989

WrestleMania 5 was held on Sunday, April 2, 1989 — which was Easter Sunday that year, following WM1's Easter Sunday coincidence in 1985.

Attendance — 18,946

Second Consecutive Year Below 20,000

WM5's attendance of 18,946 continued the modest Atlantic City arena attendance pattern — nearly identical to WM4's 19,199 at the same venue.

Trump Plaza — Second Year of Trump Branding

Donald Trump's Second WM Event

Donald Trump hosted WM5 under the Trump Plaza branding for the second consecutive year — only person to host two back-to-back WM events. Both events were advertised as Trump Plaza but held at the Convention Hall across the street.

WM6 Next Year — Toronto SkyDome Return to Stadiums

WM5's Arena Period Ended — WM6 Stadium Return

WM5 was the last WM at the Atlantic City arena — WM6 returned WWE to stadium events with the Toronto SkyDome (67,678 fans), ending the two-year Atlantic City era and signaling the return to large-scale venues.
