10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 6 Facts
2. Hogan Vs. Zeus Was Once Considered As The Main Event
I think I'd rather have seen WrestleMania 23 headlined with John Cena vs. Robert Patrick in his T-1000 armor. After No Holds Barred contaminated movie theaters like a film reel with malaria, McMahon somehow got it in his head that Zeus needed to wrestle. "The Human Wrecking Machine" was well-disguised in tag team matches where Randy Savage could do most of the work, but a singles bout to close out WrestleMania? That takes a certain level of blind optimism.
Fortunately, McMahon came to his senses by the fall of 1989, and relegated the Hogan-Zeus blowoff to a movie/match pay-per-view combo in December of that year. There, Hogan pinned Zeus in a tag team cage match with three leg drops, finishing the film-based feud long before WrestleMania.
