(Alhough booked tonight, Roddy Piper left the territory after being unable to beat Hogan last night. After it was announced that Piper had left the territory, Hogan said the fans paid to see a title match & he would defend it against anyone in the back
Woman came out to the ring with her newest signee Arne Anderson & told Hogan she has an opponent for him. Hogan accepts & the match is on. Anderson is like a bulldog on Hogan but the Hulkster's size & power is a counter to Arne's tactics. When it appears Hogan is going to finish off AA, Woman distracts official Mac Murray. Behind his back, the Ultimate Warrior hits the ring & clotheslines the champ in the back of the head before bailing from the ring to the dressing room. The champ is groggy!!! Anderson grabs Hogan hits the Gord Buster & makes the cover. Murray spins around for the 1-2-3 count!!! Arne Anderson has done what Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Tully Blanchard & Lex Luger could not do.
