Hulk Hogan winning the WWF Championship at Wrestlemania IX was the right move

Originally, I wanted to wait for the 30th Anniversary of Wrestlemania IX before writing this but I'm not waiting another two years so I want to do it now and Wrestlemania 37 just came and went. Wrestlemania IX will forever go down as one of the most polarizing Wrestlemanias of all time as it does have it's supporters like me but it has plenty of critics. One of the main reasons people look down on this was the conclusion of the event which was to see Bret Hart defending the WWF Championship against Yokozuna but instead, it was Hulk Hogan who walked away from the event as a record setting five time WWF Champion. Many fans have hated the moment believing it never should've happened and how it was Hogan "stealing" Bret or Yoko's moment for his ego and how his act was stale. Well, I'm not one of them and not only is it one of my favorite Wrestlemania moments, I feel Hogan winning the WWF Championship was the right move. In this article, I'll explain why I feel Hogan walking away from Caesar's Palace on April 4, 1993 as WWF Champion was the best move.
