Hulk Hogan spent his first year in WCW fending off Ric Flair and then battling the band of misfits known as The Dungeon Of Doom. WCW brought in The Giant to be a member of that stable, with his debut match taking place at Halloween Havoc 95 against The Hulkster. Only a few weeks before the event, The Giant ran over Hogan€™s motorcycle with a monster truck.

Instead of gaining revenge by beating the big man to retain his title, Hulk challenged The Giant to a Monster Truck Match before their World Title match in the main event. Paul Wight had a monster truck with Dungeon of Doom plastered all over it and The Hulkster had a garish truck with Hulkamania thrown up all over it.

The two trucks were in a circle on top of a building and, in the end, Hogan managed to push The Giant€™s truck out of the circle to win the monster truck match. Post-match, a brawl between the two men resulted in the future Big Show falling off the top of the building they were fighting on. FELL. OFF. THE. BUILDING.

I can€™t make this sound any less horrible than it is to watch.

Funnily enough, WCW would can the concept of the monster truck match after this one. I wonder why...
