Earlier in this article, there was mention of Bret Hart and Yokozuna's WrestleMania X main event establishing Hart as a legitimate main eventer and WWE Champion, a year on from unjust headline heartbreak.

And it was all because this.

Hulk Hogan's "friend til the end" bullsh*t was all well and good with dorks like Brutus Beefcake, but the imagined friendship he conjured up with 'The Hitman' in the closing moments of WrestleMania IX brought with it what's sure to be the shortest WrestleMania main event ever. The lousy b*stard.

If WrestleMania VIII's Hogan/Ultimate Warrior finale one year earlier was a touch on the desperate side, this was a disparately sad sequel. Vince McMahon presumably regretted this decision within weeks once he'd gotten wind of 'The Hulkster' abusing his privileged position with the company in Japan, but by then he had to dedicate his next pay-per-view to try and rectify the ridiculous situation he'd curated in the biggest moment of his calendar year.
