10 Wrestlers Who Hulk Hogan Refused To Lose Against

7. Ultimate Warrior

Yes, Hulk Hogan did the clean 1-2-3 to the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 6 in a supposed passing of the torch. For kids watching that match at the time, it was amazing to see Hogan actually lose, and especially to lose with no shenanigans involved. What€™s on the table here, though, is the Warrior€™s 1998 run in WCW. For all intents and purposes, the main reason for bringing Warrior into the company was purely to have Hogan beat him and get some measure of revenge for Wrestlemania 6. Regardless of making the story an interesting one, the Hulkster just wanted to get his win back. With a WCW roster that was overflowing with former WWF talent, the Warrior made his debut to confront Hogan and the nWo. He€™d go on to have three matches in the company; a WarGames match won by DDP, then there was a tag match with Sting against Hogan and Bret Hart, and then there was a horrible match where he lost to Hogan at Halloween Havoc. Warrior would leave the company pretty much straight after this, with he himself stating in interviews that the only reason he was brought into the company was so that Hogan could avenge his €˜Mania 6 loss. Additionally, as touched upon in the Randy Savage part of this feature, Hogan also used to his influence to make sure that Sgt. Slaughter defeated Ultimate Warrior for the WWF Title at Royal Rumble 1991 so that Hulk could be the one to get the big win over the nasty, despicable Slaughter at Wrestlemania 7. After defeating Slaughter, the idea was proposed for Hogan to have a huge rematch with the Warrior at Summerslam €™91. Yep, you guessed it. This was another match Hogan shot down, instead thinking fans would rather see Warrior and Hogan team at Summerslam. Right, because that time they faced each other at Wrestlemania 6 only 18 months earlier, that did no business, yeah? I mean, nobody wanted to see that€
