What I could never work out was that I remember Hogan Wrestling earlier in the night (possibly with the Mega Powers) in Yellow trunks, then by the time he won the belt, he was wearing Red tights. What was the point in getting changed into different ring attire?
Wasn't it him + Beefcake v Million Dollar Man + IRS for the tag-titles (MDM/IRS kept them somehow from what remember), then Hogan came out later to 'help Bret Hart'.
Also remember at the time (with there being no internet, Powerslam etc back then), wondering how Hogan had a huge black eye. Turned out he'd had a boat accident a day or two before.
Another thing I remember as a fan back then is you'd always wonder where people had gone when they'd no longer be on WWF TV. Wrestlers (inc Ultimate Warrior) and announcers like Okerlund and Heenan just seemed to vanish because WWF never acknowledged any other promotion, but as I'd realise years later they'd actually joined WCW.
