10 Biggest Last-Minute WWE WrestleMania Main Event Changes
4. Never Fear, Hogan's Here! - WrestleMania IX
Although many claim that Seth Rollins was the first person to cash in Money in the Bank at WrestleMania, they're actually off by 22 years.
Hulk Hogan was the first person to do it. How else do you explain how he was able to challenge Yokozuna to a match right after he'd beaten Bret Hart for the WWE title, pin the exhausted big man, and walk away with the gold?
