Everything That Was Supposed To Happen At WrestleMania 36 (But Didn’t)

14. A Match For Hulk Hogan?

Now, it's best to take everything he says with a pinch (or a truckload) of salt, but Hulk Hogan was making noises back in 2019 about the possibility of a match at Mania.

Was it possible? Well, the Hall of Fame induction of the nWo definitely offered an in-point for Hogan certainly and it's interesting to entertain the idea, given what the Hulkster said in an interview with Wrestling Academy:

“I’ve been talking to Vince McMahon. History is very important to me. I’ve had a very long career and part of my career was with a very, very small company and a very gracious lady called Dixie Carter in TNA and I had one of my — actually my last match there. That’s hard for me to live with. I want my last match to be in WWE.I’ve been pushing and negotiating very hard and I’m actually healthy, I’m in very good shape. Little bit under 300 pounds, maybe 295 pounds. I’m getting ready.I’m going to have one little tiny surgery on my back, maybe take me a couple of months to recover, but I’ve got my eyes set for WrestleMania.

Since it was in Florida, it seems likely SOMETHING would have happened at the event - even if it was just a cameo.
