Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior are two of wrestlings most popular superstars of the late 80s and early 90s. Many fans think of either Hogan or The Warrior when they think of the WWF, two legitimate household names who garnered a massive fan following during the glory days of the World Wrestling Federation.

Hulk Hogan had been the WWF's number 1 superstar since making his way to the company in the early to mid 80s. Towards the end of the decade, a new superstar was capturing the imagination of fans across the world, and his name was The Ultimate Warrior. While Randy Savage had gained a considerable fan following in 1988, the Warrior's popularity was so huge that it matched Hulk Hogan in terms of fan support. The decision was made then to have the WWF's 2 top babyface competitors square off in a match at WrestleMania. Billed as "The Ultimate Challenge", Hulk Hogan put his WWF title on the line against The Ultimate Warrior, a man who also put his Intercontinental championship up for grabs in the very same match. This was unprecedented, the WWF went against the grain and put 2 of their most beloved stars in the ring to go head to head. This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at the match.
