Was he filming a movie/TV show or was he simply laying low due to the steroid stuff? From what we know of Hogan he'd obviously have loved to have appeared and taken credit for drawing one of the biggest crowds in wrestling history.
If he's on the card is this the show when Hogan/Flair happens? Flair was curiously not wrestling on the show despite seemingly not being injured (cagematch has him working house shows regularly in August 1992).

I remember one of his famous bs stories about him being there (he wasn't even in the UK around that time) and seeing a sick kid dying in the Crowd, for which he wrote a song about.
Hogan was not in WWF from after WM 8 to early 93! Even if Hogan/Flair would have happened at Wembley which would have been freaking amazing they still couldn't have done it better than at WM 8! That was the Event to do it and they dropped the ball on it.

Hogan and/or Vince would never agree to book Flair with Hogan because people would more likely cheer Flair.

He was meeting a dying fan backstage, went away for about ten minutes and returned to find the fan had died while he was gone.
True story. According to Hogan...

It’s already remembered as a historic show but if WWE had got Hogan v Flair for the show man that would have put it over the top.
Knowing Hogan that probably wouldn’t have worked for him and he would rather squash Nailz or Papa Shango. Thinking about it yeah his opponent would have probably been Shango.

Partially the scandal and also Hulk working on Mr. Nanny at the time I presume. Ric worked a “Summerslam spectacular” match before the show with El Matador where he made Tito look like a raging killer, and I guess Vince figured Flair was going to be a big enough presence in the Macho/Warrior match and he was cutting some other matches from the card if I recall.

Hogan I think would’ve been a better surprise replacing Warrior at Survivor Series 92 no offense to Perfect

Not that he should have but that would be a wild stat if it’s true.

Not that he should have but that would be a wild stat if it’s true. He held a few regional titles earlier in his career, and the original version of the IWGP. But once he hit WWF/E in 1983 and Hulk-A-Mania exploded, no. He did have a brief tag title run with Edge during his 02-03 nostalgia run.

Which is exactly why Hogan worked with Flair in 91 and the 6 years they were in WCW together.

Hogan and/or Vince would never agree to book Flair with Hogan because people would more likely cheer Flair. It's all rumor and innuendo, but wasn't one of the main reasons why Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan wasn't booked for "Wrestlemania VIII" is because the matches between them drew poorly on the house show circuit during the build-up to "Wrestlemania"? Also, factoring in the fact the Hulk Hogan was taking time off after "Wrestlemania" to film "Mr. Nanny", and the WWF always being a face World Champion led company, you really had no other option, but to book Ric Flair against Randy Savage at that year's edition of "Wrestlemania" However, the WWF and WCW/NWA audience are a vastly different one, and even though Hogan's popularity was dwindling and The Undertaker and Sid Justice were getting cheered against him, I don't think the WWF audience would have ever fully turned and cheered Ric Flair over him. A portion of the audience, yeah... But I'd been hard pressed to see it exceeding more than one-fourth of it.

I'd like to get on the record what a crime it was that we were denied a proper Hogan-Shango feud. Just imagine Hogan's acting performances when his boots caught on fire or black slime started streaming down his face.

Hogan claims in his first autobiography that he was there at SSlam 92. He may have been backstage but he may also be misremembering.
Also, with this being Hogan, I think it won’t surprise me if he says he wrestled at SSlam 92. We all know Hulk NEVER lies.
