 How would the wrestling world be affected with a Hogan victory over the Ultimate Warrior at Mania 6? Would Hogan be both WWF Champion and IC champ or would they just make the match without the title for title stipulation? Would we see Hogan/Warrior 2 at Mania 7 or something else? How would the match be looked back on? Do you think Warrior would’ve quit afterwards or would he stay? |

If they had Hogan squeak out a win at WM6, you could have built up the eventual rematch from WM7 where Warrior would then take the title.
Assuming Warrior stuck around, he might actaully have made a better champion in 1991 than in 1990. Fans were split at WM6, but I think they would have welcomed a reprieve from Hogan burnout much more openly in 1991.

The Ultimate Challenge should've happened at WM7, not WM6.
If Hogan was to win, it should've been a non-title match, this way Warrior doesn't lose the IC title, Hogan gets to lose the title at SNME or something so he can shoot his movie so that Warrior can get the title off of whoever got it (Tenta/Curt/Rude etc).
But Hogan winning the IC title too? He'd have to drop it, and well it would be pretty wild to see Earthquake squash Hulk when Hulk is WWF champion assuming that's still happening. No matter what Hogan had to drop it unless you create another "what if", and assume Hogan is sticking around.

Hogan could have dropped it (the heavyweight belt) to Mr Perfect. Then Warrior takes it from him. Or if it's the IC belt, perfect would beat Hogan but then keep it for a long run. That makes a lot of sense to me because Heenan legitimizes Perfect as a champ.

I was 9 years old when this match happened, and once I heard that Warrior was putting the IC Title on the line too, I knew that Warrior was going to win that match.
No way would Hogan win the IC Title while being WWE Champion!!

It they had Hogan go over, Warrior's career would've took a big hit. From SSlam 88 onward they built him up as the next big star so him losing the big one on the big stage would've done MASSIVE damage.
Plus Hogan as IC Champ? Can't see it.

According to Bruce Prichard, in Vince's mind the IC Title WASNT on the line. It was title VERSUS title, not title FOR title.

Plus Bret would become the face of the WWF in ‘92 heading the new generation era till ‘97 with Stone Cold and the Attitude era. |

If Warrior doesn’t go over then there’s no Ultimate Challenge match. Vince isn’t doing a face vs face main event without a payoff. I guess you have Perfect vs Hogan instead with Hogan clearly going over. Not sure what they do with Warrior. Bravo? Earthquake? Rude?

If Warrior didn't win the title that night his momentum would have been killed and Hogan would have dropped the title to Earthquake. Just like he dropped the title to Yokozuna in 93 instead of Bret Hart.

If Hogan hadn't lost to Warrior at WM6 there is a possibility Hogan could have had another reign that could have pushed Bruno's record setting reign.
Other than Warrior there was no one close to Hogan at the time.

According to Bruce Prichard, in Vince's mind the IC Title WASNT on the line. It was title VERSUS title, not title FOR title. Which is TOTALLY insane considering VINCE HIMSELF says it in the opening promo! According to Prichard on his podcast, only Hogan's title was on the line. Champion vs Champion didn't mean the titles were on the line, just that both were champions and they were facing each other. Prichard said that he asked Vince that if Hogan wins does that mean he is the IC Champion as well and he said that Vince said no. Odd, if what Prichard is saying is correct, that they would have title for title in the opening promo for WM6. Also, according to Prichard, he seems to insinuate that Vince doesn't know every nuance about the wrestling aspect of the business when it comes to certain match concepts. As for the original post, I could see them doing a rematch at WM7 to finally make Warrior the face of the company. Having Hogan go over at 6 as completely unbeatable, then build Warrior up for a rematch and finally have someone beat Hogan - by 91 that may have been more excepted (Hogan was starting to get booed more in 91, it was really evident at Survivor Series against the Undertaker and in some of his house show matches with Flair). Then they could have had Warrior feud with Savage after WM7 and then Flair after that. Was it ever confirmed that Warrior was supposed to be black scorpion? |
