When Hulk Hogan won the 1990 Rumble Match, the stipulation was still in its infancy. The concept was developing and growing with every year. Hogan's win didn't lead to a WWE Title shot because the Hulkster was the current champion. The victory itself wasn't even the most important moment for the winner in the match.
Hulk Hogan went face-to-face with The Ultimate Warrior and generated an electric reaction. WWE used this moment to build "The Ultimate Challenge" at WrestleMania 6 with WWE Champion Hogan vs. the Intercontinental Champion Warrior in a Winner Takes All battle.
The following year, Hogan came into the Rumble with a goal to win and make a statement. It had been nearly a year since the Immortal One held the top prize in the company.
Hulk Hogan had to overcome a set of large opponents in Brian Knobbs, The Warlord, Tugboat and Earthquake to win back-to-back Rumbles. He became the first man to accomplish this feat.
