Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior are two of wrestlings most popular superstars of the late 80s and early 90s. Many fans think of either Hogan or The Warrior when they think of the WWF, two legitimate household names who garnered a massive fan following during the glory days of the World Wrestling Federation.
Hulk Hogan had been the WWF's number 1 superstar since making his way to the company in the early to mid 80s. Towards the end of the decade, a new superstar was capturing the imagination of fans across the world, and his name was The Ultimate Warrior. While Randy Savage had gained a considerable fan following in 1988, the Warrior's popularity was so huge that it matched Hulk Hogan in terms of fan support. The decision was made then to have the WWF's 2 top babyface competitors square off in a match at WrestleMania. Billed as "The Ultimate Challenge", Hulk Hogan put his WWF title on the line against The Ultimate Warrior, a man who also put his Intercontinental championship up for grabs in the very same match. This was unprecedented, the WWF went against the grain and put 2 of their most beloved stars in the ring to go head to head. This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at the match.
Topics covered include:
03:23 - The Rise of The Ultimate Warrior
05:09 - Hulk Hogan and Zeus in "No Holds Barred"
07:00 - Warrior and Hogan meet in the 1990 Royal Rumble
09:13 - Buster Douglas in the WWF
13:11 - The Toronto Skydome hosts WrestleMania VI
14:17 - The Ultimate Warrior vs Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI
- Much More!

    I still remember when my dad surprised my sisters and I with this PPV. We were watching something on TV that night and he casually tells my mom to flip the channel to some obscure Channel that we didnt have and BOOM Wrestlemania. He then quickly says, " Oops wrong channel." My sisters and I were like no leave it here haha. We were so happy.

Wrestlers started to die or just leave. Fell in love with the NBA and NFL and forgot about this. I wonder why people today still watch this garbage

    Once he got to the top of the mountain he knew that he didn't need to do much technical wrestling. He was smart in that he knew when to give more and he knew when he could get away with less. Why go the extra mile when literally nobody wants to see that from you? He was much more than the Hulk up, leg drop and pose, but people didn't want any more than that back then. As the video said, wrestling is more than just the in-ring moves, sometimes (probably most of the time) it's about the emotion these guys can draw out of the crowd. Hogan was very good at reading and working the crowd.

    @@jokerzwild00 This is a bit false. Yeah, it's likely that Hogan realized at a point that he didn't need to try anymore because of his rise to superstardom, but demographics played a huge part in Hogan's decision to wrestle simpler. American pro-wrestling favored the gimmick over in-ring ability, it's why when he worked matches in Japan, he was far more technical than he let off during his time in the WWE. Hogan was smart and knew what each demographic favored, and it must also be said that he was trained by Hiro Matsuda. If Matsuda trained you, you weren't a crummy wrestler. Check out his 1991 match against Genichiro Tenryu, you can see Hulk doing drop toeholds and enziguris, it's surreal.

I leaped out of my chair and started jumping around like an idiot when Hogan missed the leg drop and Warrior pinned him. Best. Match. Ever. (At the time, of course)

    Yeah, Hogan matches were so formulaic back then. The finish would always be opponent does his finisher. Hogan looks done. Pin, 1, 2, Hogan kicks out does his Hulk out, big boot, leg drop, 1,2,3. I was a Warrior fan back then, I thought there was no way that they would let him beat Hogan clean. Then Warrior pressed him, and went for the pin. Hogan hulks out and i went "aargh here we go." Then the Warrior dodged the leg deop and the rest is history. I saw it at a bar. It was my 12th birthday.

They should have had that Ironman match at Mania. It was just too good. And business was more successful in 2000 than in 1991. So I don't get why not go to The Los Angeles Memorial Collaseum instead of going back to Anaheim. They had a chance to write that wrong.

    You know, Hogan cops a fair bit of flack for his lack of wrestling skill. While in the US and Canada at least, his style was typically that of a brawler. He was a power wrestler who used power moves, kicks, punches, slams etc and would never have matched it hold for hold with a Bret Hart or Mr Perfect. But if you see his matches in Japan, he did put a lot more actual wrestling into his matches. The guy was actually a very good worker in the ring, a lot better than he's given credit for and he managed that night in Toronto to bring out one of what I consider to be the Warrior's two best matches (the other being his WM7 match against Savage).

    The lead up the WM6 could have been done it the same way as WM5. Savage had the talent to carry that story for the full year ably supported by Hogan and Elizabeth. A long build up between Warrior and Hogan would have run out of legs in short time. They did the right thing with a shorter build. Face v Face was pretty much unheard off back then. That held enough interest in itself.

These two (plus Savage) were the most exciting wrestlers to watch as a kid in the late 80s n early 90s. It's hard to say in words just how huge this match was all over the world. Good times.

I felt like 16 year old me watching this and just being overwhelmed with what I was about to witness. One of my best friends and I watched this live when it happened, even though we actually didn't pay for the pay per view. This was back in a time that if you had cable and if you tuned in to the ppv channel, you could see the action without sounds sometimes or vice versa. That is how we were able to watch the whole show and we were stunned to see Warrior getting the rare clean pin on Hogan! I will never, ever forget how awesome that was and I was a Hulkamanic! Awesome video, Sir, as usual! Be safe!

I look forward to more of these excellent videos and Complete Collections in the future. Also, if you were to ever make these Complete Collections available on DVD and BR, I'd buy them. Just sayin'. Also also, a deeper dive into The Brain would be amazing. You could do a dozen hours on Heenan alone, plus the Monsoon and Ventura years, Prime Time and The Phone, WCW, you could include his HOF induction speech; so much Heenan gold.
