While doing an interview with ESPN, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart discussed how he thinks Hulk Hogan had something to do with the decision to have him lose the WWE Title to Yokozuna at WrestleMania 9.
Here is what he had to say:
“I think it was more of a political thing with Hogan putting a lot of pressure on them to put the belt back on him. It was done almost overnight, the decision was made to beat me and tear me down instead of keep being built up the way they were doing, I think that was all because of Hulk Hogan. I think that sacrifice, I was a sacrifice made to keep him in the company because they were worried he would go to WCW, that’s my fear, or not fear, but belief at the time.”
