10 Matches That Should Have Been the Main Event at WrestleMania

Ric Flair Hulk Hogan

9. Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair – WrestleMania VIII

Fans from the 1980’s had waited forever for Hogan and Flair to finally get in a ring together, and when Flair finally came to WWF in 1991, it looked as if we would all get our wish.

The company seemed steamrolling for a match between Hogan and Flair at WrestleMania VIII, but then after fans at house shows were lukewarm on the early Hogan-Flair matches, the company did a total 180 on the match, and instead did a lame ‘double main event’ with Flair taking on Randy Savage for the WWF Title, and Hogan taking on Sid Justice.

Now when you look back at the card, it would have been great to see Hogan and Flair get the chance at the biggest match on the biggest stage. Hogan didn’t know if he was sticking around, which is another possible reason the company didn’t go with the match, but at the end of the day, it clearly was worthy of being the Maina main event in 1992.

    I disagree completely on Hogan vs Flair. Even as a nine year old mark I didn’t want to see that match and loved it when it was changed to Macho Man vs Flair. Also disagree on Triple H vs Cena 2. Absolutely hated Trips back then, so seeing him in another WM title match would have crapped me out. Warrior vs Hogan 2 would have been fun, but then we wouldn’t have gotten the awesome Warrior vs Savage career ending match. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened with Macho though.
