#1 The Main Event was Hulk Hogan at his most Hulk Hogan
Whatever you think of Hulk Hogan, you cannot deny he was insanely over. Fans would cheer his every move and mannerism. You cannot deny Hulkamania carried the company in the 1980’s.
What I learned is, we had a well-established pattern that started at WrestleMania 2. Hogan was splashed by King Kong Bundy in the weeks leading up to the show. The doctors told Hogan to not fight because it could affect his long-term career. Naturally, Hogan defied the odds and fought in the steel cage match anyway.
The match is pretty much what you would expect out of Hogan. He controlled nearly all the offence and made Bundy bleed heavily. We should not be shocked to learn that Hogan overcame the odds and retained the title. It would be a pattern we would see again and again for years to come. It all started here.
