10 Hulk Hogan WrestleMania Events That Would Have Drawn Huge Money

2. Vs. The British Bulldog

At this point, the attendance for WrestleMania III has been disputed so much that it borders on the unreliable. The next highest attendance WWE has pulled for a show can be found with WrestleMania 29 at MetLife Stadium, where John Cena and The Rock met for the second time in a lifetime. Third on the list? SummerSlam 1992. SummerSlam 1992 took place at Wembley Stadium in London, and is widely regarded as one of the most successful events in company history. The attendance is the largest verified crowd in WWE history, and over two million dollars was made in revenue and the merchandise sales are said to have topped any other WWE show in history. There were negatives, of course. The buyrate for the PPV was down significantly due to it not being shown live in North America, and the logistics of running a PPV abroad in 1992 leave one feeling punch-drunk. Still, if WWE had been braver then they could have built on the success of SummerSlam 1992 by taking WrestleMania to the UK the following year. The obvious main event of this hypothetical show? Hulk Hogan vs. 'The British Bulldog' Davey Boy Smith. Davey had headlined SummerSlam, winning the Intercontinental Title from Bret Hart in a classic main event. Now, Hart carried Smith to that great match, and a major main event between Davey and Hogan may have been dire, but the relative freshness of the match, added to the intrigue and financial implications of it being the main event of a UK WrestleMania justifies discussing it, and lamenting the fact it never happened.
