Just think, would anyone have loved to see Bruno Sammartino have a match with the Immortal Hulk Hogan, I mean Sammartino semi wrestled throughout the late 1980's in the WWE. But would've he had one good match with Hulk Hogan for the WWE Championship without one of them turning heel?.

In Hogan vs Warrior no one turned heel, so I guess it could have worked if Sammartino and Hogan had a match.
Why 1987 though? Hogan wrestled Andre at Mania that year (assuming a Sammartino match would be at WrestleMania) so I think if this match would have taken place, it should have been the main event of WM2.

at that point in his career, a feud with hogan wouldn’t be legimitate and might damage hogan, and I’m not sure the fans were interested in seeing those two clash.
his feud with randy savage from that year was more on point - randy was smaller but still a viable competitor, but the older larger sammartino could man handle him. was great stuff.

I think the problem would have been that young fans created by the expansion wouldn't have bought Sammartino, and many older fans didn't buy Hogan. That would have been the wrong dynamic for a face vs face match.

Would of been awesome! Another passing of the torch match. Bruno tagged with Hogan in his retirement match, I wish they recorded it.

I dont recall Bruno Sammartino having anything positive to say about Hulk Hogan and he probably wouldve refused to job to him.
