10 WrestleMania matches that almost happened

#3 Triple H vs Hulk Hogan - WrestleMania 17

I won't lay down, Brother!

Even before WCW went out of business, WWE and Hulk Hogan were actually in negotiations for him to return at least one year before he actually did.

The two sides began talking about a comeback in January 2001. Not many details are known to the public about this but apparently, Hogan allegedly ended the negotiations when WWE told him they wanted him to put over Triple H in a match at WrestleMania 17. Hogan has been infamous at times in the business for refusing to lay down for certain people, some believe that at that time he didn't see Triple H as being good enough to get pinned by on the granddaddy of them all.

Hogan and Triple H would eventually have two matches on WWE TV, the first at Backlash 2002, in which Hogan controversially won his 6th WWE Championship from the Game, and the second being on Smackdown about a month later, with Triple H picking up the win.
