5. Hulk Hogan Vs. Yokozuna - WrestleMania IX (22 Seconds)
Widely considered the worst WrestleMania of all time, WrestleMania IX truly is a shambles from start to finish. It also had the most ridiculous ending to any 'Mania in history, as newly-qualified eye doctor Hulk Hogan came out to check on Bret Hart's after Mr. Fuji threw salt in them, allowing Yokozuna to pick up the victory and become WWF Champion. For some reason, maybe he hates opticians or something, Fuji and Yoko challenge the completely fresh Hogan to a match for the WWF Championship on the spot. To this day this still makes absolutely no sense. Fuji goes for the old salt in the eyes trick once again, only to accidentally inflict that misery on his own charge, Yokozuna. One leg drop later and we've got a new WWF Champion. The 'match' lasted all of 22 seconds, but 23 years later the bad taste still lingers in the mouths of fans worldwide.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
