Doomsday Device
Pre-Show Stalwart
Back in the late 80's/early 90's WWF used to show the Survivor Series event the night before Thanksgiving. In 1991 we saw Undertaker against Hogan for the WWF title, good match. Then, the rematch would be at Tuesday in Texas six days later. Taker loses the belt to Hogan. Taker was WWF champion for 6 days. 6 days??
I've always wondered what went on with this. Did Hogan complain and politic to get the belt back? Or did Vince just change his mind and hand over the belt to Hogan.
I have never heard Vince, Taker, or Hogan talk about this in any shoot interviews or anything. Taker was a dominant force already by this time, but losing the belt in his first title defense just after 6 days made him look weak. They could at least kept Taker with the belt until Royal Rumble 92, and then lose it to Flair or Hogan. What was the intention of having Taker win the belt just to lose it 6 days later?
