6. Hulk Hogan VS Vince McMahon - (WrestleMania 19)
The Vince McMahon "formula" was pretty straightforward. He didn't have the wrestling ability to put on great matches, so he would usually add a lot of blood and the ability to take a beating, and that would carry his work to being watchable. It worked far more often than it didn't. Combine that with Hulk Hogan, who was already way beyond his prime and was having a difficult time moving around, and you knew what type of match was coming at WrestleMania 19. Vince, all credit deserved, bleeds better than just about any wrestler in history. When he blades, he goes to the maximum and becomes a bloody mess, sometimes dangerously so. This match was no different. Vince bladed deep, and it was another gusher. Hogan bled, too. It was a Street Fight, so they beat each other with weapons, and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper even got in on the action, returning to the company to hit Hogan with a steel pipe. The "formula" was in full effect here, but it worked yet again, delivering another entertaining Vince McMahon match, adding to a long string of them.
