I always thought it was just a way of setting up a huge rematch, obviously they had one the next year but it was a double dq and very short, I think but for his poor health they'd of run with it as the Main Event the next year.
Speaking of the next year I always hated how Savage needed Hogan's help to defeat Dibiase, but I guess in a way it worked into the Savage-Hogan Mega Powers feud, Savage not only resented Hogan for getting close to Liz, but deep down he hated how he had needed Hogan's help.
