Match Summary

André dominated the early portion using his size and chops, and almost won inside the first minute when Hogan failed at an early body slam, and André fell on top of him for a near pinfall. The match went back and forth at a slow but tense pace, with André wearing a one-shoulder singlet to hide the back brace he was using.

In the closing sequence, Hogan ducked an André big boot, hit a clothesline that took André off his feet for the first time, then scoop slammed him in the iconic moment that became known simply as “The Body Slam.” Hogan followed with the leg drop and pinned André to retain the title.
