Hulk Hogan was going to headline WrestleMania VIII on April 5th, 1992. Remember, a lot of people thought that Ric Flair vs. Hogan looked like a sore loser, and Sid was pissed. However, the main angle out of the match was that when Hogan was eliminated by Sid, he held onto SidвЂ™s arm to allow Flair to eliminate Sid and win the championship. In arguably the greatest Rumble match of all-time, Ric Flair won the WWF World Championship. The 30-man Royal Rumble match would crown a new champion. Hogan and the Undertaker traded the championship in the span of a week and Jack Tunney declared the championship vacant leading into the Royal Rumble pay per view in January вЂ™92. Over the winter months, there was controversy over the WWF World Championship. Hogan and Warrior prevailed, Hogan celebrated with Sid, everything was just dandy. SidвЂ™s first appearance was at SummerSlam вЂ™91 as the special referee for the handicap match featuring WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan teaming with Ultimate Warrior to take on Sgt. With a promise of a huge push, and the Hogan spot, Sid signed to join the WWF in the summer of вЂ™91. Sid was mostly used in WCW was a tag team wrestler, though he did have a run as a member of the Four Horsemen. Over in WCW, there was a 6вЂ™9вЂ™вЂ™, 315lbs monster known as Sid Vicious. Knowing that his top draw was getting old, and heading for Hollywood, Vince McMahon was looking for a younger, bigger and more marketable guy to take over. By this time, Hogan was doing movies and his days as a full-time wrestler were definitely numbered.

However, it didnвЂ™t appear that anyone was ready or capable to overtake Hogan in the top spot. Vince McMahon tried to phase Hogan out in 1990 by pushing the Ultimate Warrior to the WWF World Championship, but by WrestleMania VII in 1991, Hogan was back on top.Д«y the time 1991 came along business was going down though the WWF was still highly popular and had huge stars on its roster. For the next eight years, Hogan remained the top face in the company. Children, young adults and adults all bought into Hulkamania when Hulk Hogan defeated the hated Iron Sheik to win the WWF World Championship on January 23rd, 1984. In the early 1980s, Hulk Hogan was the money man for the World Wrestling Federation.
