2. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant - WrestleMania IV

The main event of WrestleMania III is one of the most historic in WWE history. 

In front of a mammoth crowd in the Pontiac Silverdome, The Irresistible Force of Hulk Hogan met the Immovable Object of Andre the Giant, with the Hulkster slamming the big man to retain the WWE Title. 

A year later, the two faced off once more at ‘Mania, this time in the largely rotten WWE Title tournament. 

Andre was knackered going into the show-closer the year prior, but by this point it really looked like he shouldn’t have been in the ring at all. 

This had none of the magic of the WrestleMania III main event, which wasn’t a technical classic by any stretch of the imagination but has become iconic as a moment in time. 

Nobody remembers this sequel, which was five minutes of tepid non-action capped off with a screwy double disqualification finish, a pale replication of the famous slam and Hogan acting like he’d just won the title, despite being eliminated from the tournament.
