by Other news and notes from the 1993 show :
Yokozuna ended Hulkamania for 9 plus years in WWF and took his title in the process. In a result no one saw coming, Yoko took the title off of Hogan, and then the Hulkster would not return to WWF for 9 plus years.
This was also the debut of Jim Cornette dressed up as a Japanese camera man to take the picture of Hogan with an exploding camera that led to him getting burned, and dropping the belt.
It was also no accident that the WWF had Yokozuna kick out of Hogan’s leg drop right before this occurred. They sensed his departure was near, and needed for Yokozuna to look strong kicking out of Hogan’s finisher.
Elsewhere on the card, Crush failed in his attempt to take the IC belt from Shawn Michaels as this was the beginning of Diesel at ringside for HBK. It’s amazing to see the different paths these two men took after this match.
Michaels would go on to become one of the greatest, if not, the greatest Pro Wrestler of all time, while Crush turned Heel and was never again in title contention for any title!
Luger and Tatanka fought in a great 15 minute draw that was quickly forgot about. It was also Hacksaw Jim Duggans last WWF pay per view outing as he lost to Bigelow, and would soon depart for WCW with Hogan.
This card really showed how well Bigelow could perform in a main event as he looked excellent. Also, the Hart vs Perfect match was an instant classic.
