Long story short : my roommates own the house we live in - they’re getting divorced and selling the house - so I’m having to pack everything I own in preparation for when it sells.

I’m going through everything and found my little fanny pack full of wrestling novelties. I had a subscription box for a while, before AEW was a thing, and I’d always get random ass items. Like this one.

Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania VIII

Hulk Hogan def. Sid Justice w/ Harvey Wippleman in 12:28

Technically, this show has a double main event but like does it really? No disrespect to Savage/Flair but it was not really given any distinction there. I would have put it on last though! Wippleman introduces Justice, then Fink introduces Hogan! The entrance way is vibrant this year! Beginning of Mania set design! Justice attacks as soon as Hogan gets in the ring, ducks down with a rope rebound but Hogan is ready and sends him to the outside. Real American does not stop playing throughout. Justice slowly gets back in the ring to start. Sid gets going with some vicious kicks and tries to tear Hogan’s face off. Menacing stuff from Sid! The exact same rope rebound spot happens! Sid looks dumb there! Back inside and Sid wants to lock up. Test of strength happens and the crowd wills on Hogan but Sid is too much! Hogan mounts the comeback though! This is very slow but Sid is still too strong once Hogan is on his feet. Knees in the corner. Hogan is able to hit a clothesline in the corner, but Wippleman on the apron allows Sid to hit a big chokeslam! Sid yells at the camera about doing unto the man what he would do unto you but doing it first. He laughs at this. Strikes to Hogan and he’s sent outside. Wippleman distracts Hebner while Sid uses Wippleman’s doctor’s bag as a weapon. Shoulder claw back in the ring for a long time. What is it with these matches and long uses of submission moves that don’t look great. Arm drop spot from a shoulder claw? Does that work? Hulking up but big side suplex from Sid. Big powerbomb but Hogan kicks out and Hulks up. Big boot but Sid stays up so powerslam! Leg drop and Sid kicks out! Wippleman gets in the ring, the bell is rung, Hogan picks him up immediately and throws him at Sid. Here comes Papa Shango who was meant to break up the pin off the leg drop but missed his cue. He stops running at one point because he realises he screwed up. Sid and Hogan brawl and then Shango joins the fight! Ultimate Warrior comes down to even the odds with a massive clothesline to the outside to Shango. Sid attacks with the chair but Hogan grabs it and the heels escape. Hogan is announced as the winner by DQ. What a mess but the crowd are enjoying the two faces in the ring! Hogan lifts up a Warrior sign from the crowd and Warrior does the Hogan poses for a bit.

Pros: Sid hits some big moves that looked good, action was pretty decent Cons: Run of the mill, Sid made to look dumb, REALLY botched finish, the actual DQ made no sense, maybe not the choice of main event. 

This match was fine for the most part, but one of the infamously worst finishes ever hampered it further. Really nothing to say other than talk about the end, Shango missing his cue, Sid having to kick out, nonsense DQ (the bell rang on time as if Shango had done his bit!). Just a mess really with little in-ring to save it.
