Hogan wasn't thrilled with the prospect of laying down clean for Warrior to end the marquee event, but he was pretty professional about it. The two worked together to deliver a strong match, with Hogan relying on experience and instincts to carry the body of the struggle. The Hulkster, despite being known as a cutthroat saboteur at times, couldn't have done more to make Warrior look like a star on his level.

But Hogan still felt he was the more valuable headliner. Bret Hart recalls a moment after the show where Hogan reportedly told him, "You watch. Warrior will fail. And Vince'll be calling me, begging me to come back."

That's pretty much what happened, as Warrior just didn't draw on top as WWE was hoping, and made Hogan champ once more a year later. As for Warrior, he was back to being a notch below Hulk.
