#28 Hogan retains in a rough cage match (WrestleMania 2)
The second edition usually ranks near the bottom of WrestleMania ranking lists. There are good reasons why. Obviously, the decision to hold the event in three separate venues was a disastrous one, but the card itself was also lackluster. The main event was true to form, with Hulk Hogan taking on the recently deceased King Kong Bundy inside of a steel cage.
The action left a lot to be desired, and unlike the following year, didn't have the spectacle to make up for it. Hogan's tremendous popularity was the saving grace, if one could be found.
Vince McMahon is just lucky that this wasn't the main event the year prior, because if it was, WrestleMania might well have been a failure. Thankfully for the WrestleMania brand, this ending was sandwiched between the first success and the much more iconic ending the next year.
