This match, affectionately known as "Age in the Cage", is rightfully considered one of the worst matches of all time. In their big Starrcade main event, 90% of the action was Hogan stalling on the outside while Piper sucked air on the inside, so you can imagine how scintillating a cage match between these two dynamos was. There's a spot where Roddy stops Hogan from climbing by biting his butt, for example.

Miraculously, they found a way to brawl on the outside anyway, in a cage match. A cage match you can win by leaving the cage. They left the cage to throw punches then went back inside the cage to continue trying to escape the cage. Meanwhile, an army of Sting clones began popping up around the arena, and Piper put Hogan to sleep following a run-in from Randy Savage. 

Yes, in a cage match. The post-match was an absolute cluster, with Hogan, Savage and Eric Bischoff beating up the apparently victorious Piper, and then a fan dressed as Sting sneaking into the ring and getting beaten up.
