There would have been worse times for wrestlers to feel forced to kick out of Hulk Hogan's world-ending legdrop, but Sid Justice went on the list all the same when newcomer Papa Shango was nowhere near the ring for a supposed save.
Few spots were as important on the entire show as Shango's run-in, yet after spectacularly missing his cue he still only ambled out when time came for his big moment. Presumably b*llocked all the way out of Gorilla, he genuinely looked as if he'd taken a wrong turn once the blinding spotlights finally caught him.
Ultimate Warrior's return was an extraordinary crowd-pleaser as the wheels completely fell off the topliner, but teed up feuds with Sid and Shango didn't exactly inspire confidence in the Hogan-free future.
