At WrestleMania 6, Hulk Hogan faced The Ultimate Warrior in a match billed as "The Ultimate Challenge". The WWE Champion, Hogan, took on the Intercontinental Champion, Warrior, in one of the most publicized matches in WWE history.

This was a time when Vince McMahon was looking towards the future and had decided to replace Hogan with Warrior as the top Superstar in the company. Hogan and Warrior were alike in a lot of ways, with both donning colorful attire, and preaching positivity and good demeanor.

The match, although not a technical classic by any means, was very well received, and turned The Ultimate Warrior into a huge star. His backstage problems with Vince McMahon hampered his chances of becoming a WWE main-stay as the top champion, but this rivalry is still considered by many as one of the greatest of all time.
