Time: 22 seconds

Rumours that Bret Hart felt like p*ssing in Hulk Hogan's protein shake bottle when he returned backstage at WrestleMania IX are unsubstantiated, but there's no doubt the 'Hitman' was angry. Not only was his first WWF Title reign cut short so Vince McMahon could pin his hopes on monster heel Yokozuna, but now Hogan was back squashing the big guy.

Mr. Fuji's nonsensical challenge following the Bret match did please fans, at least. As Yoko sucked wind and tried desperately to prepare himself for another bump, Hulk posed for the live crowd then hit the phoney sumo with his Leg Drop for a fifth World Title success.

The old "Hogan Must Pose" adage swept through the night air as Hulk's 'Real American' played and Hogan pointed at a title he'd barely been tasked with sweating for. 22 seconds was all it took for Yoko to lose what he'd just won.
