Hogan’s good buddy Sid Justice
that eliminates Hogan this year. Flair would immediately eliminate Sid to win
the Rumble and the WWF Title. The
announcers would spend the next several months complaining about how Sid stabbed
Hogan in the back by eliminating
him in a match that the same announcers constantly described as “every man for
himself” and that “there are no friends,
only enemies”. Funny how when Hogan eliminated HIS friends IN EVERY RUMBLE FOR
THE PAST 3 YEARS, it was ok, and
described as an honest mistake, but when it’s done to Hogan, everyone is crying
foul.)

Hogan and Vince speculate that Hogan’s match with Sid may very well be the final
match of his career.
The real reason behind this speculation isn’t because Hogan plans on retiring.
It’s because with the current steroid scandal
that Vince McMahon was involved with, it was decided that Hogan needed to take
some time away from the WWF until the
heat died down. As a result, Hogan was removed from the title match and
replaced by Randy Savage who would go on to win
the title from Flair. Hogan’s match with Sid was billed as a possible
retirement match. (WWF TV 4/4/92)

mistimed his run-in and was only
Half way to the ring when Hogan covered Sid for the Pin. With Shango nowhere

Hulk
Hogan v. The Rock (ABSOLUTELY
PHENOMENAL MATCH!!!!
In
my opinion, this was one of the top 3 greatest
Wrestlemania matches OF ALL TIME! To hell with the folks that insist on whining
about work rate and in-ring technical
ability. Hogan and the Rock BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!! Hogan was supposed to be
the heel here, but he came
out to the biggest babyface pop of anyone that night. The Rock, as a result
despite being the WWF’s biggest babyface,
wound up getting booed like he was the biggest heel! And true to the ability of
both men to entertain the fans, they
improvised their roles in their match on the spot, with Hogan wrestling as a
babyface, and the Rock working the crowd as if
he were a complete HEEL! It was FANTASTIC! The crowd ate it up, and continued to
boo everything that the Rock did,
while cheering everything Hogan did, even if it was blatantly against the rules!
In the end, Hogan would lose the match, but after a run-in by the NWO, who
weren’t too happy about Hogan losing, would
immediately become a babyface when he and the Rock ran off Hall & Nash. This
left Hogan in the ring to raise the Rock’s
hand in a gesture of true heart felt sportsmanship. The Rock responded by
inviting Hogan to do his classic post match
babyface posedown for the crowd. And just like everything else they did that
night, it went over INCREDIBLY HUGE
WITH THE AUDIENCE! Seemingly against all odds, Hulk Hogan managed to once again
re-invent himself to a new
generation of wrestling fans, and thrill just about all of his older ones.
Even the internet crowd that is normally very
hostile toward anything that involves Hulk Hogan, freely admitted that Hogan
easily carried his weight in this match, and earned
all the accolades that he had been given. Wresltlemania X8)

twin referee angle as Hogan loses the title to Andre despite lifting his shoulders at the 2 count. Andre then
immediately relenquishes the title to DiBiase. BUT TED WON’T ENJOY IT LONG BECAUSE….)
8. Jack Tunney strips Ted DiBiase of the WWF Title. It turns out that although the title can change hands on a
pinfall or submission, you can’t just give it away. As a result, not only is DiBiase no longer the champion, but
since Andre willfully gave up the title, he has no claim on it either. The belt will go up for grabs in a 16 man
tournament at Wrestlemania 4.
9. Randy Savage v. Ted DiBiase. (GREAT MATCH! These two would go on to have numerous matches against
each other over the course of the next several months. Each one was great to watch.
10. Hulk Hogan v. Andre the Giant (Round 2 of the World Title tournament. - Wrestlemania 4)
11. Randy Savage v. Ted DiBiase (FINALS. Savage, with an assist from Hulk Hogan, wins the WWF Title!)
Interesting story here. Ted DiBiase was originally scheduled to win the WWF Title here, while Savage was supposed
to have won the Intercontinental Title at the previous 3/12/88 Main Event special. However, HTM refused to do the
job and threatened to jump ship to the NWA with the IC title in hand. As a result, Vince McMahon changed the script
to allow HTM to keep the title, but when Savage heard about this, he promised to SHOOT on HTM during the show
which was to be broadcast LIVE! In order to avert a surefire disaster, McMahon promised Savage the World Title at
Wrestlemania 4, which was supposed to be won by DiBiase. Good thing DiBiase didn't get upset huh?)
12. Randy Savage v. Ted DiBiase (FANTASTIC MATCH! In the opening seconds of the match, Savage absolutely
DRILLS Ted with a wicked double forearm and breaks his nose! – MSG 5/27/88)
13. Randy Savage v. Virgil (WWF TV 5/28/88)
Disk 2
1. Randy Savage v. Ted DiBiase (Cage Match. As the match reaches it’s climax with Savage, DiBiase and Virgil
Fighting it out at the top of the cage, SOME IDIOT FAN ACTUALLY CLIMBS THE CAGE AND ATTACKS
VIRGIL!)
2. INT - Randy Savage. DiBiase & Andre the Giant beat the hell out of the Macho Man. Savage issues a challenge to
Andre and DiBiase in a tag match. Savage will select his partner at a later date (but we all know who it will be.)
WC 7/17/88
3. Update – Jesse “The Body” Ventura is named as the special guest referee for the tag match between the Megapowers
and the Megabucks at the upcoming Summerslam PPV. DiBiase & Andre don’t seem too worried.(WWF TV 8/3/88)
4. INT - Randy Savage. The champ brings out none other than HULK HOGAN as his tag team partner. They
Formally christen their union as the MEGA POWERS.

DiBiase and Andre the Giant come out and place several hundred dollar bills in Jesse’s pocket, furthering the speculation
as to whether or not the already heel oriented Ventura will help stack the deck in favor of the Megabucks and the Megapowers.

Disk 3
1. Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, Hillbilly Jim, Koko B. Ware & Hercules v. Ted Dibiase, Big Bossman, Akeem, Haku
& The Red Rooster (Survivor Series 1988 - During this match, Savage is forced to fight both the Twin Towers
and Haku while Hogan is handcuffed to the railing. Elizabeth actually makes herself useful, and frees Hogan who
steals Savage’s thunder and wins the match by pinning Haku. During the celebration, Hogan is sucking up the
spotlight by standing between Savage and Elizabeth. You can see that Savage isn’t too happy about this,
2. Randy Savage assures Jesse Ventura in a post match interview, that there’s no problem. But that’s not entirely true is it?
3. Hulk Hogan [with Elizabeth] v. Akeem [with Slick & The Big Bossman] (The break-up of the Mega Powers looms
near, as Hogan is double teamed for much of this match, but Savage, who is watching the match from the back
repeatedly refuses to help his partner. Savage maintains that Hogan is not in trouble, and will be able to take care
of himself, and only finally aids Hogan when Elizabeth was in danger.
4. Int – Megapowers. Randay Savage later maintains the integrity of the Megapowers, but you just know that there is some serious dissension on Savage’s side of the team.– SNME 1/7/89)
5.
Royal Rumble 1989 Hulk Hogan accidentally eliminates Randy Savage, and
Savage is pissed! Elizabeth clears the air, and the
Mega Powers shake hands again, but there is definitely some trouble brewing for
the WWF’s 2 biggest babyfaces.
6.
Randy Savage v. Akeem (Hogan saves Savage from a Twin Towers beat
down, and Savage looks almost as if he’s
going to attack Hogan. In the end, the Mega Powers do a post match posedown for
the crowd. WWF TV 1/21/89)
7. Brother Love – Elizabeth and the Mega Powers (WWF TV 1/28/89)
Disk 4
1. The Mega Powers v. The Twin Towers (The dissention finally reaches the boiling point, as THE MEGA POWERS
BREAK UP ONCE AND FOR ALL! Hulk Hogan leaves Savage to fend for himself as he takes an injured
Elizabeth to the back for medical attention. The insanely jealous Savage then slaps the returning Hulkster and
leaves him in the ring. Hogan wins the match for his team, but is later attacked by the Macho Man, who has totally
completed his heel turn here. The Main Event 2/3/89)
Another interesting note here, as Brutus Beefcake is the one who comes to Hogan’s aid after Savage destroys Hogan
in the medical area. This becomes more significant later in the year, as Brutus would the teaming with Hogan against Savage and
Tiny “Zeus” Lister.

Hulk Hogan v. Nick Bockwinkle (Hogan
again appears to win the title in a re-match.
But just as in the previous match,
the switch would be overturned, and the belt given back to Bockwinkle.
Verne Gagne didn’t want to put
the belt on a non-
wrestler like Hogan, which was a huge mistake, as Hogan was easily the most
popular wrestler on the roster. This
mistake in judgment would leave the door open for Vince McMahon to lure Hogan
away from the AWA to the WWF
where of course he’d become the figurehead of the company for the next 10
years.)
The
remainder of the tape covers Hulk Hogan’s return to the WWF.
As I mentioned above, the AWA’s refusal to put the
World Title on clearly the biggest babyface in recent memory frustrated Hogan
enough that when Vince McMahon came
calling,
Hogan was ready to move up north to the WWF.
It turned out to be the best decision he ever made.
