WWE WrestleMania 23 Recap: Big Show refused to lose to Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 23
Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest Superstars in WWE history, and also one of the most well-known wrestlers of the 20th century. Also, the legend rarely lost a match cleanly.
At WrestleMania 23 two decades have passed since Hogan defeated Andre the Giant, a mythical match in the company’s history.
Which could have been in tribute that year. And it is that both shows took place in Detroit, MI, so WWE thought it appropriate to repeat history with a new giant.
At this point, Big Show was considered as a potential opponent for Hogan, but the company was unable to set up.
The match due to Big Show’s refusal, as pointed out by Jim Ross on the latest edition of Grilling JR.
