i just read this random bit on a iron sheik article...there are only 2 wrestlers left that were wwf champion before 1990....backlund and hogan...man..shyt makes you feel old as fukk
Wanna hear something crazy. In the decade of the 1980's only 5 guys held the WWE title.

Bob Backlund
Iron Sheik
Hulk Hogan x2
Andre the Giant
Randy Savage

Backlund won it in '78 but held until December 26, 1983, so he had it the first 3 years of the '80s

Sheik wins it, holds it for 28 days then Hogan goes on his 4 year reign of '84 to '88

Then the whole Andre winning controversy leads to WM 4, Savage wins, holds for 371 days.

Hogan wins on April 2, 1989 (WM 5) and loses in on April 1, 1990 to Ultimate Warrior (WM 6)
