10 WrestleMania Results That Made Absolutely No Sense
2. Hulk Hogan Defeats Yokozuna - WrestleMania IX
Is WrestleMania IX the worst in history? Most would agree with that statement, and watching the show back it's hard to disagree. When the only thing that can vaguely be called acceptable is a story involving two evil clowns, you know you have a problem. The sourest taste left over from this most tangy of pies was the way it all ended. Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart for the WWF Championship after Mr. Fuji threw salt in the eyes of the Hitman. Yoko winning the belt wasn't necessarily a bad decision, as he was clearly getting the monster heel push and Bret was better suited to chasing the title. What happened after the match still angers to this day. Valiant noble hero Hulk Hogan came out to check on Bret after the match (despite no real medical expertise in eye injuries), before Fuji challenged the fresh hero to a match right there, right then. Hogan obviously accepted, and twenty-two seconds later we had a new WWF Champion. To compound the stupidity, the departing Hogan dropped the belt right back to Yoko at the next pay-per-view, King of the Ring 1993. Go figure.
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.
