Ranking EVERY WWE WrestleMania Main Event From Worst To Best

29. Sgt Slaughter Vs Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania 7)

Sgt Slaughter once claimed on a company DVD that he was the only man Hulk Hogan wanted to face at WrestleMania 7, but Sarge's military-grade bullsh*t wasn't as rancid as the stuff emerging from WWE's press office during the build-up to 1991's 'Show Of Shows'.

The move from the 100,000 capacity LA Memorial Coliseum to Sports Arena down the road was of course due to security concerns for the pro-Iraq WWE Champion rather than sunken ticket sales following his push. The company were ultimately always one step ahead - they booked a topliner so boring that any potential waiting terrorist threat may have just fallen asleep before managing to strike.

Slaughter/Hogan was a total dud, the worst of Hogan's headliners on the show up to this point, barely improved by the presence of blood dribbling down 'The Hulkster's face as he reenacted his substantially more successful 1984 Camel Clutch escape spot with his equally recycled opponent.
