RIP to arguably the biggest name in pro wrestling. Without his catapult into the mainstream, we don’t know where it would be today.

It’s a shame his true colours emerged but self-inflicted.

Okay, I was incorrect about WrestleMania 1 having all of it's in-ring competitors now dead. Mr. T is still alive. Also, it's because of Hogan's death that at least one person from WM 1-11 are dead. WM 7 was not the case until Hogan died.

WrestleMania 1-Hogan, Piper, Orndorff all dead, Mr. T is still alive
WrestleMania 2-Hogan, Bundy both dead
WrestleMania 3-Hogan, Andre both dead
WrestleMania 4-Savage dead, DiBiase still alive
WrestleMania 5-Hogan, Savage both dead
WrestleMania 6-Hogan, Warrior both dead
WrestleMania 7-Hogan now dead, Slaughter still alive
WrestleMania 8-Hogan, Sid both dead
WrestleMania 9-Hogan, Yokozuna both dead.
WrestleMania 10-Yokozund dead, Bret Hart still alive
WrestleMania 11-Bam Bam Bigelow is dead, Lawrence Taylor is still alive.

If you want to be super technical, the main event of Wrestlemania 9 was Yokozuna vs Bret Hart. The Hogan/Yoko match was impromptu.

I don't think there's hard main event rules definitions for wrestling anyway lol in every other sport, the main event is advertised as such and it goes on last. Wrestling is the only exception where that's not true so people are free to go with either definition of what counts, which means perpetual opportunities to argue about it lol

You could argue as to what was the main event of WM 4. They advertised a tournament, they didn't advertise who would be in the final match.

This picture was in my Facebook memories today, as I pointed out that I could name everyone in it. But by my count there are 19 wrestling personalities in this picture (18 wrestlers, plus Paul Bearer), six are still alive (Undertaker, Jake, Bret, Honky, DiBiase, Akeem)
