Like Goldberg vs. Rock, this was an inarguably massive moment that didn't quite feel right. Sure, it was a nice nostalgic moment to see Hulk Hogan back in the title scene once again - but did he really have to win?

Triple H vs. Hulk Hogan was a pretty lacklustre match, despite the Game's best efforts. The babyface vs. babyface dynamic felt a little off, and the momentum of the bout was twice killed by run-ins from Chris Jericho and Undertaker.

Strangely, Hogan fought off Taker's attack on Triple H, before dropping a leg on his prone opponent anyway - as if that's any more honourable. He won, the crowd exploded, and WWE took an unmistakable step backwards.
