11. 2002 – Triple H Vs. Hulk Hogan

On paper this may look like something of a dream match, but in reality Triple H vs. Hulk Hogan for the Undisputed WWF Championship wasn’t quite as good as it sounded.

While the use of Hulk Hogan in the title picture helped the show post a strong buy-rate, it didn’t do too many favours for the main event match itself. By this point, Hogan was fast-approaching 50 and little more than a nostalgia act. Plus, his limited mobility—not to mention his lack of selling—was increasingly proving to be a bit of an issue.

One moment in this match where those issues became apparent was when Triple H began sweeping out Hogan’s leg from underneath him; seeing the Hulkster clumsily amble to the ground in stages was likely more painful for the viewers than it was for Hogan himself.

Perhaps in a bid to compensate for the clunky action, we saw run-ins from Chris Jericho as well as the Undertaker, the latter of whom caused Hogan to "hulk up" before he’d hit the leg drop on Triple H to win his sixth WWF Championship.

A fun match for the Hulkamaniacs, but not a particularly great one all in all.
