Whereas the aftermath of Wrestlemania 8 saw the WWF start to move away from jacked-up meatheads due to the recent steroid scandal, it was Bret Hart who was given the task of leading the charge for an era of the company that was dubbed the New Generation. After WM8, Ric Flair would go on to reclaim the WWF Title before dropping the gold to Bret Hart at a Saskatoon live event on 12th October, 1992. From there, Bret would go on to fight all comers and go on to be a hugely popular World Champion both with US audiences and with overseas crowds, particularly in the UK and Germany. This was the first real time where it felt that there wasnt the shadow of Hulkamania looming large over the company, flexing its 24 inch pythons and deliver a sugar-rush promo; it truly felt like a fresh start, a change of pace, and it was rejuvenating to see a new face at the top of the pile. In the meantime, the company had introduced a new monster heel by the name of Yokozuna. Much like Hogan had his fair share of monsters to go up against over the years, Yoko was the proverbial Goliath to Brets David come Wrestlemania 9 at Caesars Palace. Courtesy of some Mr. Fuji interference, The Hitman would fall. And then who would appear to save the day? Hulk goddamn Hogan! Not to fear, the slimmed-down Hogan would be gone from the company after 1993s King of the Ring and wouldnt be seen in a WWF/E ring again until 2002, brother.
