Hulk Hogan
March 24, 1991 - Nov. 27. 1991

Hollywood Hogan met Sgt. Slaughter for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania VII, but the match was for more than just the title. The match was for national pride. Hogan was out to defend his country against the American turncoat Slaughter. Hogan also had to contend with the devious General Adnan on the outside of the ring who kept trying to distract the challenger. Slaughter wore down Hogan with a camel clutch, but Hogan powered out of it, ripped up the Iraqi flag and hit the big boot and leg drop for the championship. Hogan became the first-ever three-time WWE Champion.
