10. Hulk Hogan Vs. Sgt Slaughter - WrestleMania VII
With Sgt Slaughter's WWF Title on the line, it was pretty obvious that challenger Hulk Hogan was going to come out of WrestleMania VII as champion. Add in the story of the babyface American hero against the heel traitor and Iraqi sympathiser, and it was all very, very predictable. Which is where the blood comes in handy. By adding some colour to the match, Hogan made it way more interesting than it would have been without. Especially in cartoon era WWF, this bloody 'Mania match was shocking for the young audience. The blood spot came when Slaughter clocked The Hulkster with a steel chair. Moments later, Hogan's face was a crimson mask. But of course he rallied and won the match with the big leg drop just after the twenty minute mark. He was back as WWF Champion, and it made a great visual, him holding his prize with blood all over his face. Unfortunately, the event was a bit of a dud overall, and Hogan's early nineties renaissance did nothing to restore previous boom period levels of success.
