One of the biggest in WWE history is heading to the Hall of Fame. WWE announced on Tuesday that the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant match that headlined WrestleMania III will receive the WWE Immortal Moment Award. The ceremony will be held on Friday, April 17, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
Powell’s POV: Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin in a No DQ submissions match with Ken Shamrock as special referee was the first Immortal Moment Award winner. I’m not big on inducting matches or moments in Hall of Fames, but if they’re going to do it, then Hogan vs. Andre absolutely deserves the recognition.
The slam heard around the world.
