Not only that, but how many times could they go to the same ol' formula with Hogan? Someone is pals with Hogan, then they turn on him, then Hogan beats them in their match (i.e. Orndorff, Andre, Macho, Tugboat, Sid Justice, etc.)

Backlundis one of the all-time great champions.

I remember being shocked when I saw this match....Backlund losing the title after a 5 yr reign.

I know the story is that Backlund wasn't as popular as he was at the beginning of his title run and that Vince wanted the belt on Hogan, but man, Backlund was pretty over here!

Hogan by far was the most entertaining wrestler until stone cold and Rock; however, he was so damn boring. All you ever saw was his hulk up, three punches or so, then the big boot and the leg drop. Only time I enjoyed a hogan match was when he fought the Ultimate warrior in 1991.
