10 Worst Hulk Hogan Pay-Per-View Matches Ever

3. Vs. Sid Justice - WrestleMania VIII

In an ideal world, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair would have headlined WrestleMania VIII in a dream match between the face of WWE and Mr. NWA/WCW. 

That was the original plan but, somewhere along the way, plans changed. 

There have been numerous suggestions as to why Vince McMahon decided to go in a different direction, from disappointing house show business with the match as a main event to one or both of the men involved refusing to do the honours for the other one. 

Whatever the reason, the upshot was that Flair defended his WWE Title against Randy Savage and Hogan took on Sid Justice. 

The Nature Boy and the Macho Man had themselves a damn good match, as you would expect, while Hogan and Sid shambled their way through a shoddy sh*tshow. 

I know it was a different time and the 'Hogan conquers the monster heel' formula was a proven one, but this was bad, almost totally dominated by the Master and Ruler of the World until the predictable Hogan comeback. 

Worse still, the match ended in a DQ, which is almost unforgivable for a WrestleMania main event. 

The post-match scene with Papa Shango and the returning Ultimate Warrior is memorable, but not good enough to salvage the tedium that came before it.
