Hulk Hogan in 1993

By Scott Keith on 22 November 2018


After they had Hulk Hogan win the WWF Title from Yokozuna after his match with Bret Hart at W.M. 9, why was Hogan out of the company so quickly after he dropped the title back to Yokozuna at King Of The Ring 1993? Was he originally supposed to have been there longer than he was?

Yes, he was supposed to be around for the long-term as champion, but the business relationship between him and Vince quickly soured because the numbers weren't justifying his pay, and Hogan wanted to work Japan, and possibly Vince asked him to put over Bret and Hogan refused, and really a whole bunch of reasons. Mostly the Bret thing if you ask Bret.
