Stuff like this is the reason why I'm happy that the network exists. Imagine paying 60 pounds/dollars for matches like goldberg vs taker or seth vs wyatt? It's much better to pay 9.99 for bad ppv matches than 60.00 for one.

[@lukeboger7311]

@@HonkeyKongLive very unfortunately true. The way they do tv now makes it so we see every ppv participant too often. The other thing is that injuries become more prevalent. Think of the amount of people who got injured back in 80s, then think of the amount that have been injured just on smackdown or raw.

[@BasementBubbatunde]

ThatUndertaker v Hogan match was on the PPV that was my first introduction to wrestling at a friends house on DVD lol. At the time "I thought well... they're fighting and big boys it makes sense" of course now I know how much of a stinker that chokeslam was haha.

@@optimus2008 I just mean in the moment. In the moment, nothing seemed botched. It wasn't like Warrior missing his cue at Wrestlemania or anything. As a viewer, things didn't seem to go off plan. To me it's not a botch unless the mistake undermines my suspension of disbelief; nothing about the Starrcade match did that. It just seemed to be a monumentally bad decision until Bret came out. Then it was like 'oh, that's the plan' I agree that it would've been Better if Hogan wasn't a douche but I think folks falsely recount the actual match as a disaster when it wasn't. It's was booked bad but it went according to plan. I can't call that a botch

Cobo Hall is in Detroit !!! ... Hogan's match with Sting at Starrcade 1997 pissed me off more that anything because of all the time that was put in the feud. He couldn't take the fact that Sting was an will always be more popular and overall better than Hulk . The match against Ultimate warrior and the Tower of Doom matches I hate too , basically I hate Hogan for always having to be 1# even when has ass was way too old to be 🌎 HWT Champion when he should've passed the torch along time ago , along with that tape leaked out of him using the N word over and over I was completely done with him, and I'm from Tampa so the hatred runs deeper for me grow up a fan but never again he's a piece of 💩 brother!!!

The 1998 match against Warrior was easily worse than the 1996 triple stacked cage match.

The really awfull part about that match against the giant was that they were kayfabing the "murder" of the giant during the entire PPV. Because of that this awfull match was all over everything else on the card flawing all the other matches. Plus the internal logic of tat storyline is total bs if you think of it just a little. No police questioning hogan, no ambulance looking for a maybe injured maybe dead giant, nobody contacting Andre who was giants kayfabe father. And then Hogan still entered the ring in full wrestling gear with entrance music and everything despite everybody telling us the match was off due to one of the contestants being thrown off a building. WTF.

Hulk Hogan's WORST Pay Per View Match was against Yokozuna at WrestleMania 9. Any wrestling fan should know that. That should have been on this list. Plus I don't care what anyone else says, but Hogan vs. Triple H. at Backlash 2002 and Hogan vs. Undertaker at Judgement Day 2002 were Good matches in my opinion. I'm sure there's at least two other matches that were worst. And say what you want about his match against Sting at Starrcade 1997, but that match was better than most of the other matches on this list; except for Hulk Hogan's matches against Triple H. and Undertaker back in 2002.
