The Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant Wrestlemania III match named to the WWE Hall of Fame

The WWE Hall of Fame announced that the Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant WrestleMania III World Heavyweight Championship match will be inducted as the second WWE Immortal Moment Award.  This is the second match to receive this accolade, as last year, the WrestleMania XIII match between Bret “Hit Man” Hart and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was inducted.

In the WM III main event, Hogan pinned Andre to retain his WWF World Title in a sold-out Pontiac Silverdome.  Andre was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as the first member following his death in 1993.  Hogan passed away last year and was inducted into the Hall in 2005, later as a member of the New World Order.
