WrestleMania X8
The Rock vs. 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan: It was like the passing of the torch, and the atmosphere, in my opinion, is one of the best in pro wrestling's history.

WrestleMania VI
The Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan: One of the biggest 'face versus face' matches of all time, and also one of the biggest WrestleMania main events of all time (IMO).

So what would you suggest i look up? Anything that you thought was good involving Hulk Hogan pretty much before he came back to WWE in 2002. Matches, Promos, backstage stuff anything?

Here are some good ones IMO:

Hogan was great at squashing jobbers so I included this sample of one.

Undertaker's first loss in WWE.

These matches because I have watched it live:
Hogan vs Andre-I have had the honor to watch this match at the Pontiac.
Hogan vs Warrior
Hogan vs Rock

Other matches that I watched on television:
Hogan vs Savage WM5
Hogan vs Lesnar-I never believed that Hogan would lose that way
Hogan vs Sgt.Slaughter
Hogan vs Nash-I believe it was a retirement match
Hogan vs HHH-My childhood idol finally won back the championship

Pre-2002?

Vs. Andre - Wrestlemania III (The most historically significant match in WWF history)

Vs. Rude - Jan. 1988 (Their only televised match as far as I know. Pretty cool to watch.)

Vs. Savage - Wrestlemania V (One year in the making. The build-up was simply fantastic!)

Vs. Boss Man - SNME 1989 (One of my favorite steel cage matches.)

Vs. Warrior - Wrestlemania VI (The most epic Wrestlemania match ever.)

Vs. Slaughter - Wrestlemania VII (Severely underrated.)

Vs. Undertaker - Survivor Series 1991 (The match that made Undertaker a legend overnight since pinning Hogan was a rareity.)

Vs. Flair - MSG Nov. 1991 (Their first televised encounter and the best match out of their entire feud.)

Vs. Hart - Nitro Sep. 1998 (The finish was bullshit, but Hogan actually tries to keep up with Hart on technical wrestling.)

Vs. Sting - Fall Brawl 1999 (What Starrcade 1997 should've been!)

And of course, any of Hogan's matches in Japan. Totally kills the "Hogan can't wrestle" bullshit.

Hogan vs Stan Hansen- All Japan Pro Wrestling 1990:

A different Hogan than you may be expecting.

The greatest Hogan match was WM 18 bc he proved against the hottest face in modern history that he still is the top icon in history. It must have meant the world to Hogan (as hes said in interviews) to get cheered the way he did after being so stale in WCW from 99-01.

Check this out, at 5:30 he talks about WM 18
