Two bronzed Gods, splashed in vibrant technicolour, tested one another's mythical strength in a display of charismatic showmanship. The molten crowd had no idea who was to win - nor who they wanted to win. Warrior, in a great low-key spot, callously kicked Hogan's injured knee. He had an edge about him, an edge missing from Hogan's act - but when the Immortal One's head started to shake, you were swept up in the old magic all over again.
It was wonderful cartoon overdrive as far as wrestling goes, and yet, that sporting element shone.
Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior's match of no-selling and symmetry remains a key influence on the industry: even something like Will Ospreay Vs. Ricochet owes a debt to it.
