Ranking Hulk Hogan's WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best

11. WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Hulk Hogan & Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake Vs. Money Inc. - WrestleMania 9

It is no coincidence that Hogan's first match at the ninth WrestleMania is ranked in this spot, his second-worst match at the event.

His eye bruised following a confrontation with "Macho Man" Randy Savage just 24 hours before the show and his ego battered from his placement in a midcard tag team title match, Hogan was unmotivated to say the least as he teamed with Brutus Beefcake to battle Money Inc. (IRS and Ted DiBIase). The match was formulaic and slow, boring even. No one really bought IRS or DiBiase as credible opposition to the almighty Hogan and the result was a bout devoid of drama.

The only real result was a disqualification result that saw The Hulkster and Beefcake lose the bout and the opportunity to call themselves champions.

At too many points throughout the match, whether he was pandering to the crowd or going through the same old routine, it felt like Hogan was cashing a check and basking in the spotlight one more time.

As we have already touched on, few would have guessed just how far he would go to revel in said spotlight.
