Hulk Hogan and The Big Boss Man Tear The House Down
Monster heels were the ideal opponent for Hulk Hogan. He was the conquering hero and needed a scary monster to stand across the ring from. Many men got thrown at the champion, but few had the string of great matches that the Big Boss Man did. They had a string of house show matches that were great, but they were all left in the dust at the hands of a steel cage match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
With the WWE Championship on the line, Hulk Hogan and The Big Boss Man engaged in one of the best steel cage matches of the Golden Era. The physicality was as great as one would expect, with both men using the cage liberally.
There wasn’t much of a chance of Boss Man winning the gold, but WWE did a fantastic job of sowing the tiniest seed of doubt in the audience’s mind. Combine that with an earth-shaking suplex off the steel cage, and you have another classic moment from Saturday Night’s Main Event.
