Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart in what the world thought was the main event of WrestleMania 9. Unfortunately, and we do mean, unfortunately, Hulk Hogan came out and defeated the seemingly unstoppable monster to win the WWE Championship. Wait, just, hang on, what? Who on earth thought that was a good or even logical idea?

It was yet another case of Hogan wanting to steal the spotlight and it made everyone involved look foolish. If you have to have Yokozuna win the title in order for Bret to win it back the following year that's fine - just keep Hogan as far away as possible. When it comes to surprises, this was potentially one of the worst in the history of professional wrestling.

To conclude, we look at a match with high expectations that really let itself down.
