Hulk Hogan wrapped himself in the American flag when he won his third World Wrestling Federation championship from Sgt. Slaughter at WrestleMania VII.

The WWF hoped to pack 100,000 fans into the LA Coliseum for the battle, which took place during the Persian Gulf War.

However, the show was moved to the smaller LA Sports Arena instead.

Slaughter had turned his back on America and won the WWF title from The Ultimate Warrior at Royal Rumble 91.

With the tide of patriotism on his side, Hogan vanquished Slaughter to regain the WWF championship.

LOSER MUST RETIRE

Randy Savage battled Warrior in a career vs. career match after costing Warrior the title at Royal Rumble.

Warrior survived FIVE elbow drops from the top rope to send the Macho King into retirement.

At least Savage got to marry Miss Elizabeth at SummerSlam 91.
