5 WWE matches that didn’t take place on American soil - Shawn Michaels controversy; Brock Lesnar squashed

#2 Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior (WWE WrestleMania 6)

Hulk Hogan faced Ultimate Warrior in one of the biggest matches in professional wrestling history, where both the WWE Championship and the Intercontinental Championships were on the line at WrestleMania 6 in Toronto. Future stars like Edge, Christian and Lance Storm were all in attendance for the event.

Hogan brought in a new generation of fans and was WWE's biggest star as the company underwent a period of exponential growth. The Ultimate Warrior was the first superstar to threaten his position as the top babyface. The audience had taken to Warrior and were ready for the passing of the torch.

Even though Hogan dropped the title in an epic tussle, he made an enormous impression. Toronto remained one of his strongest markets for the duration of his career.

#1 Hulk Hogan vs The Rock (WWE WrestleMania 18)

Hulk Hogan returned to the Grandest Stage for the first time in almost nine years when he faced The Rock at WrestleMania 18 in Toronto. But on this occasion, Hogan wasn't wearing his classic red-and-yellow outfit. He was the heel leader of the nWo going up against one of the most beloved stars in WWE.

While the audience did have a desire to see Hogan return to his original persona, the fans in Toronto took it to another level. They rejected The Rock and cheered Hogan as the two legends had one of the most iconic matches in professional wrestling history.

Hogan broke away from the nWo in the aftermath of the bout and turned babyface. He went on to defeat Triple H and have another run as WWE Champion.
