I already know that not many people are going to agree with my view point, so I'm probably beating a dead horse here.
He didn't "beat" Hogan for the title. The work was a "screwjob" by a referee and Ted Dibiase where Andre just gave the title to Dibiase 30 seconds later. Hogan didn't job the title clean.
I realize that Andre couldn't do much with the belt because of his condition. That is why it could have been a really short title reign, maybe 30 days or whatever and then Hogan could take it back at a Wrestlemania. Just something significant to pay tribute to a guy who was such an icon in the business before the end of his career. If anyone should have held the title, even for a very short while, Andre the Giant was one of them. Hogan could have exhibited some more class and given that little bit to him at least.
