10 Hulk Hogan WrestleMania Events That Would Have Drawn Huge Money

4. Vs. Bret Hart

The very real rivalry between these two legends of the sport is oh so heavily documented. Hogan's backstabbing and lack of business sense (not to mention his hold over Vince McMahon) led to the worst WrestleMania ending in history, the much-lamented WrestleMania IX. Hart dropped the belt to Yokozuna on the night, after Mr. Fuji blinded the Hitman with a good old-fashioned salt in the eyes. Luckily for Hart, newly qualified eye doctor Hulk Hogan rushed to the ring, and Fuji and Yoko decided to reward Hogan for this impromptu opticians appointment with a title match there and then. Hogan saw this opportunity very clearly (pun intended), and 22 seconds later we had ourselves a new WWE Champion. As the story goes, Hogan flat-out refused to put Hart over later in the year. This was the final straw and any vague friendship between the two was over. Within a year Hogan was gone. Hart would defeat Yokozuna for the strap at WrestleMania X (despite the best efforts of Vince to get his new pet project Lex Luger in that position), and the whole thing was a shambles. We all know that real-life issues often lead to some wonderful professional wrestling moments, and a match between Hogan and Hart at this time would have been fascinating to say the least. Of course, the whole thing would have hinged on Hart going over, confirming the WWF's commitment to the 'New Generation', but this was never going to happen as Hogan would have essentially been signing his own committal to the old folks home. Still, a lot of money would have been made had Hogan said yes to a match and a job to The Hitman.
