Ok I will say more, this goes down in wrestling history as the first super match, it was the current WWF Champion Hulk Hogan vs the WWF intercontinental champion The Ultimate Warrior, it was a unification match of sorts. What made this match so special was the fact that there was no 'bad guy' both were huge fan favourites and one of the few times when no one knew who was going to win, this made for a unique atmosphere with the crowd 50/50 on who they wanted win (I was a little warrior, not a hulkamaniac). Of course now we know that the Warrior beat Hogan, much to my delight.
Everyone thought that this would be the last time we saw Hogan hold the WWF Chamionship and that The Ultimate Warrior would go on to dominate wrestling. For one reason or another this never happened and a mere six months later Hogan was the champ again. This match will also be remembered as one of the very few times Hulk Hogan jobbed (lost) to someone.
Anyway this main event will go down as one fo the great matches of all time, maybe not for the quality but because of how important it was. I would rank it right up there with other main event Wrestlemania matches like Bret Hart vs Shawn Micheals, Steve Austin vs Shawn Micheals and the second Austin vs Rock match. I would recommend buying this video to anyone for the plain reason of the main event.
