10 Wrestling Feuds With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Stories
7. The Ultimate Mirror Mind Games Set Up The Rematch Of The Century
On paper, the rematch of the century between The Immortal Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior should've made for some genuinely blockbuster television for World Championship Wrestling back in 1998.
The iconic pair hadn't locked up in singles action since their epic WrestleMania VI clash a near-decade earlier. But in the company's attempts to recapture lightning in a bottle when it came to the clashing of these titans, someone thought it would be an absolutely terrific idea to add a new layer of supernatural abilities to the already chaotic Warrior character.
And just to really dial up the foolish weirdness, the ghostly appearance/vision of Hogan's giggling adversary haunting him in a mirror backstage was somehow visible to The Hulkster, folks watching at home, and commentators, but not Eric Bischoff who was standing right next to his top guy. Baffling.
However, the best/worst of this disastrous feud was yet to come, brother, as the pair's eventual Halloween Havoc horror show went on to become what many class as one of the worst bouts of all time. An already agonising showing in-between the ropes was soon immortalised for all the wrong reasons thanks to one hell of a botched flash paper spot.
At least we'll always have the surreal visual of The Hulkster accidentally singeing his own eyebrows and moustache on PPV, though, eh?
