Back in the day, all of the mania main events had great storylines to set them up. This one began when Hogan was presented a trophy for being the WWF Champion for three years and André, his good friend, came out to congratulate him. Shortly afterwards, André was presented a slightly smaller trophy for being "undefeated in the WWF for 15 years" and Hogan came out to congratulate André, but ended up being the focal point of the interview. Annoyed by this, André walked out during Hogan's congratulation speech and not long after that, on an edition of the interview segment Piper's Pit, Bobby Heenan, a long-time Hogan adversary, announced himself to be André's new manager. André then challenged Hogan to a title match at WrestleMania III and attacked Hogan, ripping off Hogan's T-shirt and crucifix necklace.
Hogan accepted and an alledged 93,000+ fans made their way to the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan to watch history unfold.
