Ultimate Warrior was forced to give up his Intercontinental Championship upon defeating Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI for the company's top prize, but the sight of him celebrating with arguably the two most important titles in the entire industry at the time was a case of the company doing as much as they possibly could to get him across as a genuine replacement for 'The Hulkster'.

Hogan himself stealing part of the moment undid much of that work as it was happening, but kudos to WWE for crafting the moment all the same.
