10 WWE Matches Fans Couldn’t Give A Sh*t About After Watching A Classic
5. Strike Force Vs The Hart Foundation (The Main Event, February 5th, 1988)
It was the best and worst of times for Strike Force and The Hart Foundation in as they closed arguably the most iconic professional wrestling broadcast ever in February 1988. The duos had never wrestled in front of such an enormous television audience (nor would they again), but almost certainly encountered fewer audiences as uninterested in what they had to offer.
Just minutes earlier, Hulk Hogan's four-year WWE Title reign had been terminated by Andre The Giant thanks to Ted Dibiase's corrupt 'evil twin' referee. The fans in Indianapolis' Market Square Arena were understandably in complete shock, matching the aghast 33 million viewers that tuned in for the WrestleMania 3 rematch.
With less than two minutes of TV time remaining, the teams made their entrance shortly before the coverage of the match was temporarily abandoned in favour of a memorable interview with the crestfallen ex-Champion. When Mean Gene and Hulk Hogan wrapped up, so too did the broadcast. On commentary, Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura had just 60 seconds remaining to try and make sense of the astonishing scenes before fading to black over top of Tito Santana's listless match-winning fall.
