One WWE Match You MUST Watch From Every Year 1984-2024
38. 1986 - Hulk Hogan Vs Paul Orndorff, The Big Event
A stunning representation of the big business Paul Orndorff did with Hulk Hogan as the first of many turncoats he'd encounter during his near-decade run as WWE's top babyface, the headline attraction of "The Big Event" lived up to the billing.
The sea of people surrounding the ring makes for a constantly arresting visual as both men treat the match as the fight of their lives. 'Mr Wonderful's shamelessly cartoonish belief that he's won the WWE Championship without scoring a fall makes for a deranged but crowd-pleasing closing stretch too - beating down Hogan while wearing his belt was one more unthinkable act from a feud that had never looked hotter.
