The fateful battle between Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant at WrestleMania III has gone down as one of the biggest main events in WWE history.
While the bout was far from a technical masterclass, the site of the WWE Champion going up against the now-villainous giant was a spectacle like no other. The match almost ended early when Hogan attempted to bodyslam Andre and the 7ft star fell on top of him, almost getting the pinfall victory.
However, Hulk Hogan fought on and was able to create one of the first WrestleMania Moments when he picked up the 525lb Andre and slammed him to the mat. He followed up with his signature Leg Drop to get the win and retain his title to a rapturous ovation from the audience.
Braun Strowman claims his match with Omos will be just as big
At Crown Jewel on November 5th, The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman, will face off against The Nigerian Giant, Omos.
Not wanting to downplay the significance of the two behemoths meeting in singles action for the first time, Strowman has taken to social media to hype the match. In an Instagram post, he claimed there has never been a “monumental match” like it, and says the only comparison is Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant.
“A fight fit for literal kings!! There’s has never been a monumental event like this in history idk ever. The only thing that can compare is Hogan vs Andre.
“That is a match that has been and will be talked about till time decides to stand still. But the time for me now to carve my name in history is upon me.
“Time to make a moment that will stand the ties of time and when I’m am old f**k and broken. I can look back and say you see kids.
“This is where I changed our family our history and the way the whole f**king world looks at us. Nothing in my life and any of my family’s life has come easy.
Cause we know the sacrifices it takes to achieve greatness. again when the your good at what you do being at what you do. Not one mother f***er can stop you.”
