The dream match

When Ric Flair came into WWE in the early 90s, the fans couldn't hold their excitement over the idea of getting to see the biggest dream match of all time: Hogan vs Flair. The Nature Boy won the Royal Rumble match in 1992, which is still regarded as being one of the absolute best Rumble matches of all time. At WrestleMania 8, Hogan headlined against Sid Justice, while Flair wrestled Randy Savage for the WWE Title.

Years later, Hogan explained that Vince McMahon just didn't want to pit the two Superstars against each other. Flair, on the other hand, revealed that when he arrived in WWE, Vince told him that the match was a possibility. At the same time, Hogan wanted to leave to do the TV show, Thunder In Paradise. This put a strain in his relationship with Vince and he pulled the plug on the match.
