5 Worst WWE Main Events in History

#4 Hulk Hogan vs Sid Justice (Wrestlemania VIII - April 5, 1992)

Hulk Hogan versus Sid Justice: A calamity

The initial plan for the headline bout at Wrestlemania VIII was to be a title match between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.

However, after the pair had drawn poorly together at house shows in the months leading up to the show and Hogan agreed to take a break from the company following the event due to the bad press he had garnered for lying on the Arsenio Hall Show about his past steroid use, WWE changed tack and booked Macho Man Randy Savage versus Flair and Hogan versus Sid Justice instead.

The undercard WWF Championship match between Flair and Savage was a classic match, however, the headliner between Hogan and Justice was a disaster.

The bout lasted under 13 minutes but even with it's truncated length the match could not be saved.

The bulk of the match featured a dull test of strengths and an interminable nerve pinch from Justice on Hogan which put the capacity crowd to sleep.

Justice hit Hogan with the powerbomb that Hogan hulked out of which is when this match really went to hell.

Hogan's patented legdrop finisher was meant to draw a disqualification finish with outside interference but Papa Shango missed his cue by a long, long way and Justice was forced to kick out.

Then, Justice's manager Harvey Whippleman drew the DQ instead although it was impossible to tell why. Finally, Shango arrived to the ring and he and Justice double teamed Hogan until The Ultimate Warrior made his unexpected return to the company to run off the heels.

It was a memorable end to a terrible main event.
