Match #14 Sep. 13, 1980, WWF, Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant

This is a really unique match up here. The main event of WrestleMania 3, seven years before. The interesting thing is that Hulk Hogan, known as 'The Incredible' Hulk Hogan, is a heel here, managed also by Freddie Blassie. You also get to see how well Andre could go inside the ring, as this is well before his health problems started to come into play.

The match plays out with Andre using his size to his advantage and Hogan playing more of a cowardly heel by going out of the ring and getting advice from Blassie. Not a long match, with Hogan clotheslining Andre with a loaded elbow pad to end the match.

My Grade: C+
Not the best match by any means, but a real interesting look at these two before they get big. Check it out if you get the chance.
