The card is infamous for featuring a widely pilloried rematch of the main event of WrestleMania VI, a 1990 pay-per-view event produced by WCW's rival the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in which The Ultimate Warrior had defeated Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship. Their 1998 return bout is regarded by critics as one of the worst matches of all time.The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior. WWE Home Video. 2005. 85–88 minutes. Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch gave the bout his lowest "dud" rating, lamented the "poor in-ring action" and lack of crowd response, and declared that Hogan and Warrior "don't have it anymore". Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer awarded it a minimum score of minus five stars out of five (the single lowest ever for a WCW match), and readers of the publication voted it the worst match of the year. Readers of professional wrestling magazine Power Slam cast the same vote;"1998 Power Slam Reader Awards". Power Slam.
