A match against Money Inc felt like a welcome move to the midcard for Hulk Hogan and his perpetual hanger-on Brutus Beefcake in 1993, but if only we knew then why 'The Hulkster' was so content to get cheated out of the titles by Ted Dibiase and IRS.

Ahead of totally sh*tting all over Bret Hart and Yokozuna after their WrestleMania IX main event later in the show, Hogan got a ludicrous visual victory thanks to manager Jimmy Hart making the count in place of a fallen referee. We all got a moment of The Megamaniacs with the gold before normal service was resumed.
