10 Dream Wrestling Matches That Were Huge Disappointments

1. Hollywood Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior - Halloween Havoc 1998

As if trying to bring the Hogan/Piper feud back to life wasn't bad or tasteless enough, WCW would bring back another rival from Hogan's past in the form of The Ultimate Warrior. Their initial pay-per-view bout eight years prior at Wrestlemania VI is widely regarded as one of the best Wrestlemania main events of all time, if not Hogan's best match of all time. Allegedly, WCW mainly agreed to this because Hogan wanted a win over the Ultimate Warrior in order to stroke his ego. Bischoff claimed this was not the case, while Warrior himself said that 'They used Ted Turner's checkbook to buy me to come back to lose a match to Hulk'. After a few weeks of bizarre and real segments of The Ultimate Warrior stalking Hogan and the NWO, the two met at Halloween Havoc '98. Everything that could possibly go wrong in this match, did. The match was incredibly slow due to an arm injury Warrior had sustained in previous weeks, which made the pace absurdly dull. Hogan made things worse when he botched a spot and failed to ignite a piece of flash paper properly, succeeding in only flaming his own face. The match also had a suitably lame finish when Horace Hogan hit Warrior with a chair, allowing Hogan to pick up the win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_onsAu6SZH8 The idea was bad, the build-up was bad, the execution was bad - Warrior vs Hogan II is the worst fulfilled dream match in wrestling history, without a single doubt.
