For WrestleMania VI's "Ultimate Challenge", the WWF creative team presented two full length shots of The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan hitting their iconic poses. Warrior, in all his neon glory and wearing his yellow Intercontinental Championship, raises his fists to the heavens, while The Immortal Hulk Hogan, tears his shirt to reveal the WWF Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Behind them, lightning bolts crack over a snowy mountain range (representing the first time WrestleMania would be held outside the USA in Toronto, Canada). The poster is colorful, vibrant and intense. Looking at the two superheroes at their absolutely pinnacle, it was tough to pick a winner. In stark contrast, the alternative poster for Wrestlemania VI was a poorly conceived collage that looked to have been knocked together at the last minute. In the background, we see two terrifying bloodshot eyeballs staring from behind a giant Ultimate Warrior mask. Either Warrior had a nasty case of pink eye, or he'd been smoking some serious reefer when the photograph was taken. Meanwhile, it looks like the creators had forgotten all about the other half of the main event, and so they quickly cut out a picture of Hulk Hogan from a magazine and pasted it in. I definitely prefer the 'mountains' version.
