5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 1992

#3 Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice – WrestleMania VIII

By the early 1990s, Hulkamania was way past its prime, yet no one had told Hogan that. He was still wrestling in main-event matches, yet those contests were anything but riveting. Hogan wrestled Sid in the main event of WrestleMania VIII in one of the most boring matches of the 1990s.

Because both of them were muscular power wrestlers that weighed around 300 pounds, neither one of them could do much chain grappling or hit any exceptional moves. The majority of the contest centered on tests of strength and rest holds, which almost put the audience to sleep.

Unfortunately, this match is also famous for having one of the biggest botched endings in wrestling history. As Hogan was going for his Leg Drop, Papa Shango was supposed to run in and break up the pin, resulting in a disqualification. However, Shango missed his time cue, which forced Sid to kick out of the Leg Drop (possibly as revenge for Hogan kicking out of Sid’s Powerbomb finisher).

The shenanigans continue with Shango and Harvey Whippleman hitting the ring, before the Ultimate Warrior makes returns and cleans house alongside Hogan. While the fans did wake up for Warrior, they were almost completely zoned out for the actual main event match, which tells you a lot about the state of WWE’s world title picture in the early 1990s.
