WrestleMania 7's most compelling alignment element was the Gulf War patriotism framing — Hulk Hogan as the ultimate all-American babyface against Sgt. Slaughter as the Iraqi-sympathizing heel champion. Every match had distinct clear-cut alignments reflecting the black-and-white storytelling of the early 1990s WWF.
