That's not what happened. At all. Hogan was on the verge of winning until he got an old-timey flash photography in the face. Nah that was just a rotten compromise cause most likely Hogan didn't want to take a banzai for the pin. Why not have Fuji do the dirt? Because most likely creative wanted Yoko to go over clean so they come up with a "photographer", that has nothing to do with the storyline, flash Hogan to make Hogan happy. That just didn't make any sense. As far as I am concerned that was a clean pin. C'mon... No doubt Hogan didn't want to lose clean, but back office politics doesn't matter to what we see in the ring. Wippleman jumped up on the apron and blinded Hogan, which gave Yoko enough time to recover and deliver a double throat-thrust and drop a massive leg for the pin. Far from clean. It was an incredible rub though, as Yoko kicked out of Hogan's legdrop, which only Warrior and Sid (I think) had done up until then. |

Back in the 80's, we didn't have PPV so I would watch the results on the weekend shows and then rent the video almost immediately upon its release (fun personal fact: the very first time I paid Canada's GST tax on its first day was the rental for the 1990 Survivor Series). Seeing Bret get screwed and Hogan saving the day at WM 9 in the highlight reel made me go "seriously??? No way in hell I'm paying to see that!"
