6 Greatest WrestleMania moments

#3: Hulk Hogan bodyslams Andre the Giant

The Iconic showdown!

It's been over thirty years since the "Immortal" Hulk Hogan slammed Andre The Giant at WrestleMania 3.

It was 1987, and the '80s wrestling boom was in full swing. Hulk Hogan became a household name through his appearances in "Rocky 3," and gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated. In addition, he regularly made the talk show rounds to promote the WWE.

Andre the Giant, arguably the biggest name in the sport before Hulk Hogan, was on his way out. He was in a lot of pain due to his battle with Acromegaly, and his wrestling days were numbered.

The two most popular wrestlers of the 1980s were the main event at WrestleMania 3 in front of 93,000 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit. After a hard fought battle, Hulk Hogan began to "hulk-up" and body slammed the dazed giant.

Hogan followed the slam up with a giant leg drop to get the pin and retain his championship.

Hogan was always known to perform super human feats in the ring, but bodyslamming Andre was on another pedestel altogether. This helped cement his position as one of the brand's biggest names and it still hasn't changed.
