10 Hulk Hogan WrestleMania Events That Would Have Drawn Huge Money

5. Vs. The Undertaker

Hogan and The Deadman battled on many occasions at different points of their careers, and it was the Hulkster that 'Taker defeated to win his very first World Title at the 1991 Survivor Series. Of course, it took the interference of Ric Flair and a steel chair to make it happen, but the result is the result. Hogan and Undertaker never clashed at WrestleMania during their careers, but it is interesting to think of how different the landscape of modern professional wrestling would have been if they had. Let's put a hypothetical situation out there. Say 'Taker doesn't lose the strap just after winning it from Hogan, and holds it for months heading towards WrestleMania VIII. At the biggest show of the year he defends his title against the man who was screwed out of it in the first place - Mr. Hulk Hogan. Undertaker vs. Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VIII would have undoubtedly done better business than Hogan vs. Sid Justice, especially when you add in the story of Hogan looking for retribution. The most interesting point that this hypothetical situation throws up is, of course, the result. Hogan would have had to have gone over 'Taker at this point, because that is how professional wrestling worked at the time. The Streak would have ended before it even began, with The Phenom having a record of 1-1. Things would look very different now, that is for sure.
