10 Times Wrestling Feuds Crossed Over Promotions

9. Hulk Hogan Vs. The Ultimate Warrior

The Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI in 1990.

In, it should be reiterated, a predetermined and very exaggerated emulation of a fight, in the years following which Hogan embarked on a mega-drawing heel run. His value was hardly affected, particularly since, by gesturing to God with an accusatory point, he did the job to a deity, and not the virulent homophobe. It was an improbably great match and beloved childhood memory for many.

The defeat - in a predetermined and very exaggerated emulation of a fight - must have gnawed at Hogan, for Warrior was brought into WCW specifically to return the favour eight years later. Stylistic flux rendered it horrendous panto - the test of strength spots were sad duels of fragile ego - and Hogan's zany scheme literally blame up in his face via errant fireball. The God of Fate in pro wrestling is a hackneyed screenwriter.

"Ah! It's not cold" Hogan said, after failing to throw it in Warrior' face.

Also, since Hogan went back in time to avoid doing a job, it didn't do much to convince the Chris Jerichos of the world that showing ass was in his future.

When he was banging his pal's wife doesn't count.
