The Brain's Classic Feuds Discussion

Forgotten gem of an interview prior to WM VII

Good question. I know I wouldve been all for it.Both guys could talk so the interactions like this one here wouldve been great.

Could you please do the feud between Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan

Coming up on the CFD!!

Yeah I'm surprised as well. But hey you humanoids pick em and I cover em

Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant


These two wrestling icons have history dating back to the early 80s with a big clash happening at Shea Stadium but the infamous feud they would have together would begin in early 1987.It all began on an edition of Piper's Pit when both parties would receive trophies with Hogan getting the big one(shocking!) with Andre clearly not looking happy at all.This would all lead to February on the same segment when Andre would finally reveal his intentions along with his new manger.One of the best heel turns of all time. The ripping of the shirt is the icing on the cake here


Hogan the following week would accept the big challenge  and with that the match would bet set for the Silverdome at WM III.The build to this was fantastic with the fans getting a tease later that month on SNME in a big battle royal. Loved the fact Andre eliminated Hogan here.


The match itself at Mania was not a masterpiece but that wasnt the point here. It was all about the build and spectacle and in that regard it delivered in spades.No doubt in my mind the biggest match in Mania history here.


Hogan would pick up the win here but this wouldnt be the end by a long shot.It would take however 8 months before they would interact again as at the first SSeries it would be Team Hogan against Team Andre.Great stuff keeping them apart for that long.In the end Andre would be the sole survivor by last eliminating Bam Bam Bigelow who gave one hell of an effort in the end of this match. Hogan woulnt let Andre have his moment post match though with him coming out to clear from the ring. 



Following this, new superstar in the Federation Ted Dibiase would eye up the WWF Title in hopes of purchasing it but Hogan would say HELL NO!! to that deal with would result in the money man getting the services of Andre to get it for him.At the first Rumble that January the contract signing would take place with the heels getting the better of the champ when Andre would attack with Hogan with him pushing the table on him.At the Main Event that February the two would collide in what was the most viewed match in company history at 33 million with a 15.2 rating. Vince wishes he could get these numbers again thats for sure.The end result would be Andre getting the win after Earl Hebner(his introduction here) counted the 3 despite Hogan getting the shoulder up.''How much did he spend on the plastic surgery??!!



Andre right after would forfeit the belt to DiBiase but Jack Tunney would over rule this stating it was illegal to  do that with the WWF Title then being vacant with the new champ being crowned at WM IV  in the tournament.It was there in which these two would collide again with the end result being a double DQ for using  achairt even though Hogan used it first. He shouldve been DQed damnit!Randy Savage would win it all at the end which would set in motion the Powers vs Bucks feud for the Summer(Already covered here in the CFD)Both Hogan and Andre would have one more clash in Milwaukee that Summer in a cage match with Hogan picking up the W. This match was included on the Wrestlefest 88 tape.


Overall...No doubt the biggest feud in the history books here.An awesome heel turn along with the build to Mania III man make this thing special.

And.....DISCUSS!!

Ahh yes 33 million view. I was just remembering the 15.2.

But yeah amazing indeed.I said it many times in the past here this era was the best time to be a fan.

Could you please do the feud between The Undertaker And Mankind? Thanks
