Unconfirmed match for 1987
- Fall 1987 – Pennsylvania(?): WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Bret Hart; the story goes that this match - which supposedly took place right after the airing of the episode of Saturday Night's Main Event where Hulk Hogan and Randy "Macho Man" Savage first shook hands - was supposed to be the first teaming of the Mega Powers (Hogan & Savage) vs the Hart Foundation but Savage was unable to make the event so the match became a one one between Hogan and Hart; although various sourses bring up this rumored house show match from time to time, to date no concrete evidence has surfaced that this match in fact took place
