10 WWE Promos For Matches That Never Happened

2. Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair (Wrestlemania VIII)

Flair Hogan Wm 8 There comes a time in every man's life where his ego gets in the way of doing business. Let's imagine the sit-down conversation regarding the scheduled main event of then WWF Champion Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania VIII. Flair's the champ, so losing the belt would immediately drop him very far down the card, as with the newly debuted Sid Justice on the scene as well as Randy Savage, Hogan would probably want to do business with one of his biggest drawing opponents or a brand new opponent than someone who could pose a political headache. As far as Hogan, it's Wrestlemania, he "built" the company, so why would he lose to the competition's long-time champion Flair? The solution was made for Flair to wrestle Randy Savage for the championship, while Hogan faced Sid Justice. A missed opportunity? Of course. An inevitable result? Absolutely more than likely.
