#3: Hulk Hogan cashes-in his ‘I’m-Hulk-Hogan-brother!’ card – WrestleMania 9
This one is a bit of stretch to call a cash-in but hear me out.
Firstly, Hogan came down to help “his friend” Bret Hart after ‘The Hitman’ had lost the WWF Championship to Yokozuna, even though Hogan and Hart never interacted on-screen prior to that. Mr Fuji did goad Hogan into the impromptu bout, but this was reverse-psychology from Hogan as the mere presence of ‘The Hulkster’ makes any heel from the 1980’s infuriated.
Hogan, of course, accepted the bout and used underhanded means to win, he capitalised on a blinded Yokozuna (Fuji was aiming at Hogan when he threw the salt but still). Hogan dropped the big leg and won the championship.
There you have it, the original Mr Money in The Bank is Hulk Hogan!
