Makes you wonder what they would've done had they gone that route. Hogan would have had to forfeit the IC belt. I imagine they would have had the IC title tournament like they did with Warrior winning at WM6. But, would Warrior be allowed in the tournament? Would he be given the match against the new IC champion at Summer Slam 1990? What do they do with the Warrior for the rest of the year? Does Hogan lose the WWF belt to a top heel like Rude or Perfect at one of the SNME's, then he gets injured by Earthquake that puts him out of action, then Warrior beats the Rude or Perfect at SSL90 to win the WWF title? Then do we get a rematch at WM7 of Hogan vs. Warrior? Since Hogan won the first one at WM6, does Warrior win the second one at WM7? The way they pushed Warrior for 2 years if he wouldve lost here it wouldve been a big blow Interesting to think bout. Like the fact of Rude getting a title run though. Doing it that way, I think it might have been more unpredictable. I think most people thought that Warrior was going to win at WM6. But if Hogan won, then they had a rematch a year later, would people think that Warrior was going to win because he already lost, or would people think that Hogan was going to win again and get his belt back. I think it would have helped make the second match just as big as the first match. But, yeah, Rude getting even a short run with the WWF title belt would have been fun. I know you would have loved it... almost as much as a long Hogan title reign...

Say what you will about both men, about them personally and about their in-ring abilities, but this was a great match. This was a well-built feud. This really felt like a main event match. You had the two most over guys in the wrestling business at the time, both built like super-human heroes, basically unbeatable, and they put on a hell of a show. I don't recall any issues with the match, no botches, both guys did everything really well for their style.

Good crowning moment for Warrior here just a shame the reign didnt live up to the expectations I think it was alright. I remember reading someone give their take on it a while back. They believe that the reign didn't live up to the hype because Warrior was going up against guys that he or Hogan had already beaten (Rude, Perfect, Savage, DiBiase, Haku). They felt he needed new guys that Hogan didn't already beat to make his run seem different/bigger. They thought that Warrior should have feuded with Earthquake during the summer of 1990 instead of rehashing his feud with Rude. The one time he did face someone that Hogan or he hadn't previously feuded with and beaten, Sgt. Slaughter, Warrior lost to Slaughter, but Hogan got the clean win. He felt both of those things made Warrior look like the secondary guy instead of the top guy. Interesting to think about. Would his run have been better if he got the feud with the new monster heel, then got the big win over Sarge?

Well I agree there wasnt an abundant of top heels during this time for him to feud with so I guess they thought Rude fits the bill since they had good chemistry Feuding with Quake wouldve been ideal but only if Quake beat em for the belt which no way was gonna happen. You cant have Quake lose after he's in the middle of his monster push. So yeah he was in a tough spot Choosing Rude to be his first challenger was really the best call
