5 WrestleMania's that should have had a different main event

#2 WrestleMania 8

This should have led to the biggest match in WrestleMania history, back in 1992.

What Was The Main Event: Hulk Hogan vs Sid Justice

What Should Have Main Evented: Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship

While non-title matches could headline WrestleMania in the right circumstances, the biggest match WWE could have put on in 1992 was for the title. After Ric Flair left WCW to join WWF, he was the perfect WrestleMania opponent for Hulk Hogan.

It even seemed like that was the direction they were heading to, with Flair contributing in Hogan's WWF Title defeat to The Undertaker at Survivor Series. The Nature Boy even won the belt by winning the 1992 Royal Rumble match, after coming in at number 3.

He looked all set to defend the top prize against Hulk Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania 8. But somewhere along the line, plans changed and Hogan's final match ended up being against Sid Justice. Pretty underwhelming, yeah.

That match ended in a disqualification, making it the only WrestleMania main event not to have a proper finish. Meanwhile, Flair lost his title to Randy Savage in a great match. That also would have been a better main event, in hindsight.

But WrestleMania 8 will forever be linked to the biggest WrestleMania match that we never got to see, Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. It just made too much sense.
