Oh brother...

2. Vs. The Warrior - WCW Halloween Havoc 1998

Okay, we're finally getting into full-on train wreck territory now. 

Yes!

Hogan and Warrior put on a tremendous main event at WrestleMania VI, a suitably epic first-time meeting of WWE's two premier babyfaces which resulted in the torch being passed from the face of the 1980s to the would-be man of the '90s. 

Well, sort of.

That result apparently rankled the Hulkster, as some say that the reason the Warrior was brought into WCW in the fall of 1998 (at great expense) was so that terrible Terry Bolea could get his win back. 

It's obviously not as simply spiteful as that, but it may have been a motivating factor, because having another great match with his old foe certainly wasn't. 

Their brief rekindling of the feud produced some of the worst-ever WCW stuff, from Hogan seeing the ghost of Warrior in a mirror to the zany finish of the Fall Brawl War Games match. 

The action here, such as it was, was totally archaic and looked like something from at least a decade before. It was all tests of strength, and running the ropes, and chokes and clubs and timid slams and other assorted rubbish that was usually done at half-speed. 

An encapsulation of the whole charade was the spot where Hogan tried to launch a fireball at his opponent, only for it to fail and end up blowing up in his own face instead. 

Now let me tell you something about visual metaphors, Mean Gene...

Anyway, yes, Hogan got his win back (thank goodness) thanks to Horace Hogan and one of the world's lamest chairshots. 

Just a sad state of affairs, especially when compared with their match eight years earlier, they were out there far too long with no idea what to do with the time.
