Number 4: One for the Ages
At the peak of his early success, Hulk Hogan was untouchable in every way. His personality, his worldwide popularity, and his look could not be duplicated. Hulk Hogan would enter the 1990 Royal Rumble at number 25, eliminating many superstars. He was the WWE Champion, but one guy in the ring impressed even more. At number 21, The Intercontinental Champion, Ultimate Warrior, was destroying everything that came into his path. As the ring cleared, it was Hogan face to face with Warrior. Two gladiators, two powerhouses, and two guys which split the crowd like never before. Hogan was not the crowd favorite by much here, as the fans would turn to their admiration of the Ultimate Warrior. The face off. The Amazing atmosphere, along with the cameras flashing, gave us a moment we can never forget. It propelled Warrior into the main event light, while Hogan was not sure how to handle it. Warrior would save Hogan from getting eliminated by Rick Rude and the Barbarian, but Warrior would then get eliminated. Hogan would end up winning the Rumble match, but it was all about the face off that would set a future WrestleMania main event match. Hogan and Warrior draw parallels, and this was the beginning of that feud.
